lgine that a company has been formed
to build one In Florida to be used for
commercial purposes. Is any greater

The century Will bring forth new
methods OF preventing fires and OF
lighting those which do occur. In tho
past thirty-two years the fire losses OF
tho United states have amounted u
two and half billion dollars. The

to the scientist who has made possible
