Horror and Waste of Fire

New Bedford, MASS, Standard.
 Listen to this: We burn up three theatres, three public halls. twelve churches, ten schools, two hospitals, two asylums, two colleges, six apart ment houses. three department stores, two jails, twenty-six hotels, 140 fiat houses and nearly 1900 homes every week of the year" It is the statement of no less an authoritative organization than the International Society of State and Municipal Building Commissioners and Inspectors. We do more than this. We burn to death eighteen persons ev- cry day in the year. speaking in aver ages. Almost as many people meet death in fires in this country as in railroad wrecks and accidents. The re- port of the society quoted above gives some more graphic statements, one of which Is that we have burned up more than $1,O00, 100000 worth of property

tenth century. The isolation of the town and the curious behavior of It's people through so many generations would undoubtedly give rise to exag- Rerated stories in the bazaars on the distant coast and in this case the origin of the fable may be regarded as fairly certain.
 Unfortunately for the romance of the world, 1t seems practically impossible for stories of this character Co have the origins novelists would wish. The world is comparatively small today. The trail of the explorer Is over every land from Paraguay to Thibet. For bidden lands are entered; hidden cities exist only in the imagination of the fictionist.
 Tn a period when trains run to Bok- hara and the great African lakes when the tourist appears at khartoum and Lhassa itself Is threatened, there is no room for mysterious white races. Even the dark continent is no longer allowed to have It's mysteries. The photographer sits on the battered walls of Kano: the Fuiani Emperors have passed away.
 one may no longer believe in the ex- istence of a strange white people Tn the heart of equatorial Africa. Rider HagRards splendid race are probably only the Ba-nlHlA OElBAhdhy ViSSoNSA " " by Spoke in Southwestern Uganda. At least, Sir Harry Johnston claims to have discovered In them the clew to many of the mysterious white race legends found in the dark continent He was engaged in nothing more thrill ing than a tour of inspection to An koIe when he came across them. They are of a very light complexion and are the aristocrats of this region.
 Sir Harry Johnston says they are obviously descended from Gala, So- mali or other Hamitic stock, and adds that some of them are more like Egyp- tians than is the case with Galas and somalis Romance disappears before the trend of the explorer. The dark continent Is dark no more.

 Tobacco Leaf reports the naanufac- ture in this country during the flscak year ended June 30 1905. of 7.esss ssST,a01 cirars, an increase of ls5, ,020.4a7 over the output of the preceding year. Our export trade in these goods is quito inc significant, and compared with this enormous total our import trade In for eign made cigars is little more than an inconsiderabIe incident Our popu-i Iation of males who may be regarded aa of cigar age" Is probably little less than 24,000,o00. Our domestic output was sufficient to supply each one Of these with about 820 smokes during the year. As the census returns do not in- cIude statistics of smokers and non- smokers, 1t is impossible to carry the calculation beyond that point. The cigarette crop for the year was s,s6s, ,212.T40. an increase of 141.53o,AS9 over 1904. We produced 21slo1see1 pounds of snuff, an increase of 0A4.2S1 pounds. The output of smoking and chewing tobacco increased only about per cent, from S2s,e6o,T10 pounds to l 334,4s9,11O pounds The total value of all this is not given, but the figures og the smaller output of that year arc gtv- | en by the census of 1900 as follows:
 Tobaeo chewing, smoking. and snufT. .. ....... .$1Oo'fo4ptoA Tobaco. cigars and cigar ettes.. ''''''''' ASV'SSo'Aos | Total. .. .. e. .SsSbssItgo14
 The development of this industry is indicated by the census figures. which show the value of the product for 1880
 as sl16,772, ,6sl; for 1890 as S19b. b.5ss,ss2. and for 1900 as $z6S,s7T.41b. The in- crease for last year will certainly bring the figures to more than SS0N- ] 900 900. which Is Q very pretty sum to spend for this form of combustibles. Compared with our domestic trade. l our foreign commerce In the weed amounts to little. Our total importa- l tion last year of tobacco in all it's forms amounted to S22.145ss46 and our export ation to s37,123,514.
 Estimating our consumption by
 weight 1t appears that we burned at the shrine of our Lady Nicotine sorne- thing like sOO,0O0 tons of tobacco last year.
