The seriousness OF fire losses In the
United States becomes conspicuous rs
one gets down to details. Here Is an
interesting comparison: The revenue
of the state of Maine I'm 1903 was, in
round numbers. two million five hun.
dred and fifty thousand dollars: the
damage done by fires in the state dur.
ing that year Is estimated ut five thou.
sand dollars more than that sum. with.
out taking into account the destruc.
ton by forest fires, which would have
added more than a million dollars on
the wrong side. Doubtless almost any
other State would make quite as bad
showing: but such figures. whcreso-
ever found. are full Of suggestion.
A Pittsburg steel magnatc" now re-
siding in New York has recently Gre
ated fund of a million dollars for the
purpose Of erecting model tenements IN
New York. Apparently he desires to
duplicate substantially the splendid
buildings devised and controlled by the
City and Suburban Homes Company
clean. light, airy structures, fitted with
many modern cOnvenienceS. where de-
cent people can live In comfort as
cheapiy as IN an equal number Of UNI
wholesome rooms In Stun. In prac.

constructed are a philanthrOpic enter.
prise. The tenants pay for what they
get. but they get a great deal more
than other landlords give for thu
money. The tenements are n business
enterprise also. and yield n profit of 1
per cent on the money invested. Doubt.
less the new one will pay as well, and
forty thousand dollars will become
available every year to build more ten.

gives the million dollars. He does not
need or want the per cent. but he
