The number of deaths from in- dustrial accidents in the United Kingdom reported in the year 1907 was 4,460. an increase of 341 over the year 1906 and PIT on the aver age for the five years 1903-1907. With the exception of Quarrying, each group of occupations shows an increase as compared with 1906.

There is accommodating from day to day indisuptable evidence that concrete is the best fireproofing ma terial used in modern building prac- tice, says Cement Age. This is be- ing emphasized not only in labora- tory experiments but in actual fires which have afforded no opportun- ity for the advocate of this or that material to control the situation in the slightest degree. In the recent testimony of experts on this subject, especially such as related to the San Francisco conflagration, there was but one material put on a par with concrete as a protection to steel, and that was brick set in ce- ment mortar. In spite of its record as fire resistant, 1t hardly need be said that brick cannot compete with concrete in the field of fireproofing. The demand for economy, to say nothing of conservation of space and the need for close contact be- tween steel member and it's pro- tective covering, practically removes brick from consideration. Consid- cred from every standpoint, which means economy of construction, fa- cility in construction and opportun. ity for prompt and inexpensive re- construction, in other words the restoration of the outer fireproof covering-which some experts in modern engineering science say is all that can be expected in the way of fireproofing-concrete stands without a peer.

Much complaint having been made by occupants of houses in Calcutta on account of damp walls. especially in the rainy season of the year, it Is proposed 10 use a new kind of dampproof paper. made Of raw copper" and varying in thick ness from O.0O12 of an inch to O.OOs. II Is said to be capable of being worked into all sorts of patterns. It Is claimed to he insect-proof and dampproof. and can go six or seven years without being cleaned. IL is used in the same way as wall paper. Ordinary wall paper is of little use in the damp climate of Calcutta. and the new ir<ntion holds out many inducements.

The Washington Times states that powerful forces hold Speaker Can non responsible for the do-nothing congress, and have determined to oust him." The only way to defeat Cannon is to elect democratic con- gress.

THE BOYERTowN HORROR.

With all the victims who lost their
lives 10 the theater fire at Boyertown,
Pa, last vel k, buried, the authorities
Of the borough and the coroner OF Berks
county will now begin an investigation
of the terrible affair.
Warren Jones, who was ticket-taker
at the Rhoades Thester at the time of
the fire, has confirmed, 10 part, the story
that the exit doors were bolted when
the audience made lts rush to escape the
flames. He made his first statemen.
Sunday night since the fire. He de-
clares that one of the two doors, which
swung both ways, was bolted, and adds:
"When the people began TO rush
from the hall l threw open one door
and tried 10 open the one bolted. |
could not do it. People finally smashed
it down.
'G believe that what caused the deaths
more than anything else was the plsc-
Ing of collspsible wooden chairs in the
two aisles and behind the reserved
seats"

miles south of New Zealand.
The Dundonald, with crew OF u.
was smashed on the rocks off the Island
March 7 last, IL men being drowned.
The survivors were found at Auckland
Island, which they reached 10 rudely
fashioned boat, eight months afterWard,
by the New Zealand steamer Hineoma.
Thew lived on raw mollyhsws and seals
and built FIRE and kept ii going for
several weeks. Canvas from the ship
was used for covering. Cold weather
then came, with snow and bail, and
with their hands they dug holes in the
ground, above which hnts were built OF
sods and sticks. Ia these they took
shelter. At first they cooked on the fire,
bat later they built a mud oven and pre-
pared food on spit. ,
They knew that a government food
depot had been placed on Auckland ls-
land, five miles away. and finally decid-
ed TO build boat. In July q craft was
fashioned of crooked sticks and canvas,
clothing and blankets saved from the
ship also being used. A small bone
saved from bird, with hole pierced
in 1t, was used as a needle and some wire
from the ship ss thread.
The boat started July 81, but falling
to 6nd the depot, the men came back
August 8.
A second boat was built 10 September
and q third in October, but these were
smashed. They then sent the first boat
ahead, and the men, after walking
through bursh aud scrub for 10 miles,
found the food depot.
A good boat was there, and, making
sails from their clothing, a crew went
back to Disappointment Island and
brought the others to Auckland Island,
The HineOms, passing with scientific
party, saw their signals, and month
after they had reached Auckland rescued
