FIRE INSURANCE QUESTION.
CONDITIONS PROPOSED BY COM-
 PANIES NOT SATISFACTORY.

Generally Considered sO- Prominent
 Business Men Make Statements Re-
 garding the Raise in Rates-Presi-
 dent Cunningham, President Whitney
 and Chief Fancher Give Their Views.
 The statement made in the letter re-
 ceived by c. c. Chalker, secretary of
 the local fire insurance underwriters | relative to the increase which was re-
 gently made in fire insurance rates, is l considered by the business men inter-
 ested as very unsatisfactory Certain conditions have been named in connec- tion with the local risks, but there 1 seems to be a lack of faith in the sim l cerity of the insurance exchange in suggesting improvements to be made here. The following statement made by
 President Cunningham of the fire com missioners gives a very lucid descrip- ton of the conditions
 The letter sent out Wednesday was very arbitrary in tone, It will be seen that all these improvements must be acceptable to the insurance commission. Raising the water pressure here to six ty pounds would only be accomplished by the installation of pumping stations. Give New Haven a fair show! If they are to raise rates let them send a man down from Boston and have him ap- pear before the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Mems association and let them hear how the amount of losses compare with the premiums paid in for the last ten years. Is this in- crease based on the city only, or an all the suburbs? Why wasn't this in crease put on in past years when we were not as well protected as we are to-day? Anyone can read San Fran cisco between the lines of this letter.
 We can comply with the first two conditions, although I think that the delegating of this new electrical inspec- tion to some present official would hardly be acceptable, but at any rate We cannot raise the water pressure to the figure called for. That is the stunIb- ling block here, and in some other city With hlgher pressure there would be some other reason selected. The raise had toNcome and would have been made anyway, but the clamor is so great that the commission had to put out this let ter to justify itself"
 The statement by President Whitney of the water company:
 "The second recommendation in the letter Concerning the substitution of iron for cement pipes) is already being fulfilled in this city, We have not laid a length of cement pipe for twelve years, and not only that but we have been substituting iron pipes as fast as possible on lines laid before that time With regard to the provision about the water supply New Haven is as well ft- ted as many of the other cities in this state. The pressure from the Lake Whitney amounts to forty pounds. but the constant drains made upon it brings the working pressure down about ten pounds. The pressure from the Pros pect street reservoir reaches nearly fifty pounds, but this is the highest in the | city. This letter is an attempt on the | part of the insurance companies to jus 1

The terms contagion and Infection
are too often used promiscuously
though they are by no means synony-
nous. The dissemination Of mycotic
diseases takes place In different ways.
There are those which cannot be com
municsted from person to person. but
spread only by the micrOblc cause In
vading the individual. To this class be-
long malarial fevers produced by spas
media There are, secondly. th0Se
which are not communicable from per
son to person. but through external car
riers only. such rs soil, water, food,
air. clothing aud utensils. To that class
belong yellow fever and Asiatlc chol-
era. They are infectious, There are,
finally, those which may be transmitted
directly from person or Indirectly
through carriers. To this class belong
scarlet fever. measles. diphtheria, vari-
ola. influenza. erysipelas and yaricella,
perhaps also whooping cough. They
are contagious and infectious.

One of the familiar sights on the
streets OF a japanese town is the pan
cake woman. who. with her little bra
zier OF Goals and her tiny frying pan, Is
usually found on corner not far from
a school. She has bowl full Of dell
cious batter, ladle and cake turner
and there Is apt to be hungry crowd
around her little stand as soon as
school is out, for not many of the chill
dren are able to resist the smell OF the
crisp pancakes. at least II they have
any money. For a small coin worth
only q fraction Of one or our pennies
a child may fry and turn his own
cakes, and happy is the one who has a
number Of coins In his little kimono
sleeve and can fry and eat to his
hearts content.
