Testing the Run of Golf Balls,

There is capital way, which we
have discovered only lately, of testing
the running of a golf ball off the put
ter. 1t can only be adopted on day
when the green or lawn is coated over
with drops of moisture on the grass
blades, either from white frost, dew OF
the deposit of sea fog or Scotch mist
The difference in the way of run.
ming of balls of different make, and OF
some balls of the same make, is very
marked and curious. We can assure
all the sundry that it is a test worth
trying, because the knowledge of the
ball that will run true on the putting
green is knowledge that will serve us
well.-Country Life.

STRUCTURES ALL FTREPRooF.
Loss in Country Over 100000
Day Is Government Report
Figures Are Given.

Although the United States govern
ment owns buildings that cost more
than s300,OO0,000, and is spending
S20,000,000 a year for new buildings,
none of this property is insured
against loss by fire. To avoid this
great tax, which, at the ordinary rate
of Insurance, would cost over half
million dollars, the government con-
structs only buildings that are secure
ly ireproof. Tests are being made by
the United States geological survey to
determine the strength and fire resist
ance of building materials, and, al
though primarily designed to meet the
needs of the government as the largest
consumer, the results of these tests are
available for general use by the coun-
try at large.
The contrast between the small loss
es by fire to government buildings and
the immense losses reported from the
country was responsible for the inves-
tigation instituted by the geological
survey as to the fire losses in the Unit
people. The findings of this investiga-
ton are published by the survey in a
report, which is, in part, as follows:
The investigation disclosed the fact
that the total cost of fires in the Unit
ed States in 1907, excluding that of
forest fires and the marine losses, but
including excess cost of fire protection
due to bad construction and excess
premiums over insurance paid,
amounted to over $456, 900, tax
on the people exceeding the total value
of the gold, silver, copper and petro-
leum produced in the United States
that year. The cost of building con-
struction in 1907 in forty-nine leading
cities of the United States reporting
total population of less than 18,000,000
amounted to $661 ,076,2S6, and the cost
of building construction for the entire
country in the same year is conserya-
lively estimated at 81 100000 900. Thus
it will be seen that nearly one-half
the value of all the new buildings con-
structed within one year is destroyed
by IRE. Inc annual lire COSI~lS great
er than the value of the real property
and improvements in either Maine,
West Virginia, North Carolina, North
Dakota South Dakota, Alabama,
Louisiana or Montana. In addition to
this waste of wealth and natural re
sources, 1,449 persons were killed and
5,654 were injured in fires in the Unit
ed States in 1907.
The direct loss by fires in this coun-
try is eight times as much per capita
as in any country in Europe. The
actual fire loss in the United States
due to the destruction of buildings
and their contents amounted to $215,-
084, 709, per capita loss of $2.51. The
per capita loss in the cities of the six
leading European countries amounted
to but SO cents. Comparisons of the
total cost of fires, which includes the
items already stated, show that if
buildings in the United States were as
nearly freproof as those in Europe the
annual fire cost would be $4,000, 900
instead of $456,000,000

Two Desirable Results May Be At
tanned in Making Period Not

If we are to be thorough in dealing

If we are to be thorough in dealing
with the food problem we must take
up the matter of cold storage which
is not merely an Indispensable part of
the packing combination, but may be
a most formidable weapon of extortion
The consumer has lost some of his
appetite for food, thanks 70 the quail
ty and cost of the food he has been
getting. The hideous insipidity of
fowls and fish, which departed this
life in 1908 or earlier is enough to re-
duce him to plain living and high
thinking. He ought to think to some
purpose right now
There is no question that cold stor-
age has become a necessity for supply
ing our big cities, the Wall Street
Journal says. With the conditions
which obtained well within the mem
DRY of many of us it would be i'm
possible to feed cities like New York
or Chicago. We should be alternat-
ing between periods of wasteful plenty
in such commodities as eggs and poul-
try and times when they would be I'M
obtainable at any price. But this is
no reason for saying that where we
can regulate the interstate distrib-
utors of produce, the railroads, we can
not take the same means to prevent
the instrument of cold storage from
being abused.
We have arrived at a stage where,
for all but a fortunate few, really
fresh eggs do not come on to the mar
ket at all They are bought at their
cheapest and when they are most plen-
tiful. They are stored, and even at
such times the market is supplied with
eggs which may be anything from a
year to three years old The bakers
who manufacture the cheapest kind of
pastry are supplied with the garbage
which is actually five years old-eggs
which could not even be used for po-
litical purposes outside a South Amer
lean revolution.
The question of whether beef will
keep for longer than one year. or
whether one commodity will keep
point All that is required is to pro-
vide such cold storage as will distrib-
ute the years product evenly through
out the year. There would be two re-
suits from such legislation. One would
be an immediate improvement in the
quality of food. and the other would
be a reduction in it's price.

baby were plunged 100 feet down to
the bottom of the Blanco Canyon and
then burned to a crisp amid the debris
of wagon that contained all her
household goods near the little plains
town of Floydada, Tex. Mrs. Brock
was moving across country in a heavy
wagon. The horses became frightened
and backed over the precipice. AS the
wagon turned over and over in its
descent stove in the outfit set fire to
the goods and can Of gasoline eX-
ploded. The struggling woman with
her baby and the horses, unable to ex-
tricate themselves from the wreckage,
now mass of flames, landed in a heap
at the bottom The charred remains
of the mother and baby clasped to her
breast were found later by a ranchman
who had witnessed the tragedy from
the other side of the canyon, but who
had to make a detour of many miles
to reach the scene.

The pictures shown above are

less to the sporting and sportsman
world of Europe and America. The
Count is a Frenchman and the Coun-

Ark, because they would not pay $500

alleged they had lost at roulette. They
claim to have believed they were
playing with 10-cent chips, but the
game keeper said they were 81 chips.
When the game was over they offered
$50 in settlement, but $500 was claim
