Names Fire Loss.

According to figures given out by L.
surance Commissioner, S. W. Carr, the
total fire loss in Maine for the calendar
year ending, Dec. 81 1903, was 1885,
226 against loss of s., S42, $50 in 1902.
This loss which is the heaviest in the
history of the department, needs sOme
explanation. 1t is furnished in the r
port of fires to the insurance commission :
er. The sum of 81 sos, 0l6 In 1903 cor
responds TO the 81 S42 $50 OF 1902. The
remaining 81 ,04l ,2l0, is the damage by
forest fires reported to the land agent.
In addition to this, there should be de-
Quoted from the $500 DIG, $500, 900 loss
directly traceable to teld, forest and
brush fires during the dry months of
April, May and June last year B Il
even after making all these deductions.
The fire loss for 1903 still stands as the
heaviest in the history of the department.
The total number Of fires in 1903 was
1860 against 1920 10 1902. The number
of inceDdiary fires in 1903 was 26 against
30 in 1902. The number of unknown
fires WAS 402 in 1903 against 3l5 In 1902
The percentage of incendiary fires il
1903 was l.33; the percentage of uE-
known fires IL 1903 WAS 20 81. The loss
ga incurred by foreign owners during
1903 was 1l.76 per cent OF the premiums
received. The losses paid BY fire H.
surance companies during 1903 were
Sc 26 per cent of the premiums received.

1t is true the Turk goes to the Ara

songs, but he sings these TO his lady's
eyebrows and the story he tells of the
quality of his love rises to the purity
at times of prayer:
One knocked at the beloved's door
and voice answered from within
"Who is there
Then he answered, 1T Is l."
Then the voice said. This house will
not hold thee and me
And the door was not opened
Then went the lover into the desert
where there is nothing but Allah. and
tasted and prayed in solitude,
And after year he returned aud

And again the voice asked Who Is

And he said. 1t is thyself."

Why Russia Seeks Korea.

The reason for Russia's persisten' ag-
gression toward Korea must be sought
in her commercial interests. Russia de-
sires Korea In order to open way by
land to seaports which shall be open the
year round. Neither Vladivostok nor
DalDv nor Port Arthur are such ports.
The very improvements at Dalny have
made 1t easier tor the sea to freeze up.
At enormous expense, Russia has almost
completed railroad across Asia, only to
find herself with its termini in winter
locked harbors. To find an open har-
Dor, Russia must either take possession,
In China, of some hsrhor as far south as
Chefu, or she ruet take possession OF
Korea as far south as Chemulpo. Rus
sla's only need Of Korea ia military and
commercial. She does not need Korea
as an outlet for her surplus population.
She does not need the mines of Korea,
nor does she need any power which
might come from the Accession of the
Koreans to The Russian throne. She
needs an outle.. Russia is by reason of
the very expenditures she has made In
Manchuria, more determined than ever
to be free to fad open access to the We
ters OF the Pacific Ocean.-From "Korea
as the Prize of War;" by j. Sloat Fas-
