The ChrIstmas TraveIer.

When Christmas day dawns many a
traveller will he unfortunate enough to
find himself far from home with no
prospect of getting there for the celebra-
ton Of the greatest holiday Of all the
year. To many Of these this necessary
absence is bitter misfortune. but there
are others who have not the good fortune
to deem it such a misfortune. They
have perhaps no settled home or no rela-
tives or nd especial friends with whom
they yearn to be on the festal day. But
these people are comparatively few in
numbers. Most Of the people who are
travelling on Christmas day are doing so
because circumstances make it necessary.
They are longing every minute Of the
day to be where they could join in the
merrment and festivities with those who
ore dearest to them.

C9MMISSIjNER'S ANNUAL REPORT
SHOWS l,O26,499.
Over Two Hundred Thousand More
Than Last Year-Pacific Ports Show
Decrease-On Account Of Jap-Russo
War-Slavs and Huns Most Proml
nent-Fewer From Germany.

In presenting the annual report of
the bureau of immigration, Commits
sioner General Sargent refers to the
magnitude and gravity of the problems
presented by the growth of the alien
population of the United States.
These problems" he declared
loom so largely in the prospect of our
country that 1t may be said without
giving just cause to charge exaggera-
ton, that all other questions of public
economy relating to things rather than
to human beings, shrink into compare
tive insignificance."
The total alien arrivals reported for
the year of 1,O26.499 represents an in
crease over the preceding year of 213,-
500, of which the continental ports of
the United States report an increase of
1916, $40, as compared with arrivals last
year, and Canadian ports 10, $50. At the
insular ports the increase was 2S49
although the arrivals at Porto Rico
were less by "a than in 1904 There
also was a large increase in arrivals at
southern ports, while a decrease is
shown for the Pacific ports, which is
accounted for in some measure by the
Russian-Japanese war.
OF the increased arrivals above re
ferred to- Austria-Hungary sent 9S,5
over it's quota of 1904, Russia S9756
Italy 2s1S3. and the United Kingdom
1854 This increase from the las
mentioned country, says the commits
sioner. is somewhat offset by the de
crease from Germany, Switzerland ant
Sweden. Notwithstanding the increase
from Italy. that country, says the com
missioner, may be regarded as havin'
probably reached the high water mark
From this showing, Commissioners Sar
gent ventures the prediction that tn
chief source of future increases in i'm
migration are those two in Europ
which have the greatest resources il

Russia and Austria-Hungaria.

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES.
How the Danger of Parlor Co1fiagra-
lions May BE Minimized.

Several accidents on Christmas eve
and day each year recall the fact. appar-
ent only on that day. that the Christ
mas tree is quite as dangerous as it is
pretty, and that the proud father per
sonating Santa Claus should take the
precaution to equip himself with ashes
tos whiskers. About the usual number
of fires are recorded in the country each
year as a result Of the inhammable ma
ture Of the Christmas tree and its dec
orations and their careless handling.
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the cutlery against toy pis-
tolls is raised after the Fourth Of July.
OF course no rose is free from thorns,
aud apparently no holiday can he OBJ
served in the conventional fashion with
out risk Of accident to the merrymakers
Suffering candles on Christmas tree
are a very real danger. and the same may
be said of the trees themselves. the
wreaths of evergreen aud the mstletoe
After a day or two they become dry and
inhammahle 10 a high degree. aud in the
joy Of the celebration risks are run and
pre- .autions neglected. 4 tree thus load
ed down with presents and decorations
may become in an instant torch capa-
bic Of starting a disastrous fire. as many
cities discovered the other day. to their
great cost and to the serious discomfort
of their fire departments.
by taking preventive measures thou
sands Of dollars will be saved every year.
Trees should be bought late and kept
out doors until used. In the case OF
fresh, green trees the risk will be min
imized. Candles should not be too close
together and should be constantly watch
ed. Above ALL a wet blanket should
be at hand, also a sponge on a pole lonl
enough to reach any point of the trees
or ceiling. So, at least. say the FIRE
fighters. who every year have their OWL
Christmas spoiled by the neglect of thes'
very obvious precautions.
