THE CAT FRozE TO DEATH.
Rival Baltimore Safe Statesmen Tell
How Heat Resistance 1s
Tested.

Since the Baltimore fire safe statesmen
have been doing a rushing business in
that city. 1t is related that two safe
statesmen representing rival firms called
simultaneously on business man. The
first salesman said:
ITO demonstrate the quality of our
safes it is our custom to put cat in
side, to lock 1t, to build a great fire
around it and to leave 1t in the flames
for "a hours. At the end of the "a hours
we open the safe and the cat leaps out
unharmed."
Wonderful" said the merchant.
The second salesman spoke up:
I'VE once put cat in safe Of ours
and kept it surrounded with fire for
week. At the end of the week what con-
dition do you suppose the cat was in?"
''Dead?" said the merchant.
Eyes, dead" said the salesman. But
do you know how it died?"

It Is evident that our consideration
Of this topic must be more or less con-
iectural From the very nature OF this
subject, any conclusion reached must
be more theoretic than demonstrabie.
Scientific accuracy OF statement Is not
possible. It, therefore, follows that
conclusions reaehed iii this paper are
not susceptible Bf scientific tlemonstra-
lion, but must rest f0f theft accept
khce Upon the EFFORT that has been
made to avoid any extrSvagant conclh-
slohs. Every Step made IL the com
pilation which is to follow has been
most carefully considered, both from
the standpoint Of practical, as well as
theoretic, data; and is therefore pre-
reached are in every way conservative,
and even much below the actual eco
nomic loss sustained to Illinois from
tuberculosis.
Through the untiring efforts of sta
tistical experts employed by the state
board of health, It is possible to pre-
seat for the first time, scientifically ac-
citrate data as to the total number OF
deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis in
Illinois for the years 1902-1D03.
These totals are as follows: For 1902,
the number Of deaths from all forms
81 tdbefculosis III Illinois was 6 1896 The
t0tal humber of hsIfrom pulmonary
tuberculosis in Illinois for 1902 were
6,01l. The total number of deaths from
all forms Of tuberculosis in Illinois
for the year 1903 was 1925 The to-
tai number Of deaths from pulmonary
tuberculosis in 1903 was 6,O66. Again,
the total number of deaths from pull
monary tuberculosis in Illinois for the
year 1902 was .sS4. The total num-
her of deaths from other forms of tu-
berculcsis In Illinois for the year 1903
was 9c0.
