Reckoning the Fire Waste

For every two dollars spent on the
construction of new buildings in the
United States, one dollars worth of
property of the kind goes up in flame
and smoke-absolutely wiped out, and
a total loss forever.
Fire costs this country two hundred
and fifteen million dollars year,
merely for buildings and their CON
|tents-this reckoning including insur-
ance, the upkeep of fire departments,
and the extra money that cities are
obliged to pay for the additional wat
er supply required to deal with fires.
This means an expense of six hun
dred thousand dollars for every day
in the year, or twenty-five thousand
dollars for every hour of every day.
The fire waste in the United States
for the last thirty-three years has
amounted to a total of $4,4S4,326,0 600
Unfortunately, Notwithstanding mark
ed improvements in methods of fight
ing the destroyer the damage IL does
steadily increases. 1t 1875 it was
about seventy-eight million dollars.
Eight years later it passed the one
hundred million dollar mark and last
year it ran two hundred million dol
lars.
These figures are given by the
.Technologic Branch of the United
States Geological Survey. which
states that the enormous waste is due
mainly to the prevalence of wooden
buildings. More than two thirds of
our total fire losses last year were on
frame buildings and their contents.
Chiefly because wooden buildings
are forbidden in European cities, fire
losses abroad are small compared
with ours. In this country they
amount annually to about two dollars
and half per capita for the entire
population. In Europe they are only
forty-eight cents per capita. If we
kept our per-capita fire loss down to
the European mark we would save
one hundred and seventy-four million
dollars a year
Obviously the way to reduce the fire
waste is to compel the adoption of
fre-proof material for building Hence
the experiments which the Geological
Survey mas been making for some
time past with a view to finding out
what materials are best for the pur-
pose. The government itself owns
six hundred million dollars worth of
scattered all over the coun-
try, and is anxious to reduce its own
losses by fire to the lowest possible
point. But, in addition, it is consider
ed that Uncle Sam ought to be mod
el builder, and to set a good example
for the people to follow.-Saturday
Evening Post.

astronomy has ever fascinated man
bu. since the invention of the teles-
cope it has become such an exacct
science that things of universal inter
les. often escape popular notice.. How
many people in Bennington realize
at we are witnessing a rare phen-
omena, all the planets visible to the
naked eye being in the sky this
month. Venus, the planet most sim,
liar to our earth and brightest of ALL
and Jupiter, large as all the other
planets put together may be seen low
in the west just after the sun sets,
about 7:45. On Thursday, the 18th,
they will be less than the moons
width apart. Mars, about whose in
habitants such interesting speculat-
ion has grown up in the last few
horizon about 9:45. 1t is nearer us
and therefore brighter than it will be
again for a number OF years. Saturn
much fainter than these two by
means of its greater distance rises in
the due east August 18th about $3.50.
Mercury, the smallest planet less than
half the size of the earth, and the
planet nearest the sun will be visible
near the horizon as a star Of excep-
tional brilliancy on the 25th. Many
have probably noted the numerous
shooting stars recently. This August
shower is popularity known as The
Tears of St Lawrence. They will be
most numerous tonight, the tenth,
one radiating about every minute
from a point in the north east II
might be interesting to know that
these are particles of matter ignited
by friction with our atmosphere at
the height of about IS miles They
are moving through space In a great
stream 60,0O0,00O miles broad which
the earth crosses every August.

GLUE TO KIDNAPPED CHILDREN
Conductor Thinks the ViVianos Took
His Train to Chicago

Conductor Thinks the ViVianos Took
His Train to Chicago
St Louis, Aug. 9.-That the kidnap-
ed Viviano children, Grace and Tom
asso, are in Chicago is the present
belief of tne st. Louis police. 1t is
based On the information given by a
conductor of a Wabash train that on
the day of the kidnapping a woman,
two children and man answering
the description of Turissi went on his
train to Chicago.
The conductors story fits with that
of C f. Bauer, whose clothing estab-
lishment is near the Union station.
Bauer said that he sold a boys sailor
suit and shoes and stockings to two
Italians, who were accompanied by a
boy and girl resembling the missing
children.
