Cost of Fire Protection.

WV
Recent investigations made by the
government show that it costs more
than six times as much per capita each
year for fire protection in u cities as
it costs in the city of Berlin, where
the figures are higher than for London
and Milan. The average per capita IN
over $50 large cities in this country
is $1.65. In Berlin the cost is 26 cents.
in London 10 cents and in Milan II
cents per capita for the year.
We can seldom take a lesson from
Europe, but this striking contrast
should serve as a hint. European
cities could not build the finder boxes
often found in America because the
material for clapboards. shingles and
wooden rafters is not to be had. But
as a rule the people of those cities DO
not have as roomy housing rs h peo-
pie Of American cities. Europeans
build chiefly with a view to economy.
Their materials are all but freproof
and the building restrictions rigid and
we'll lived up to. We cannot initiate
European building methods, but we
can emulate Europeans in attention
to fire %preventives and ireproof n
struction within %congested districts.

The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy
was stirred to greater activity in the
senate by the reading Of a letter adj
dressed by Mr.. Pinchot to Senator
Dolliver, in which the course adopted
by L. R. CLAWS, with the assistance OF
Messrs. Price and Shaw of the bureau
of forestry, was warmly approved. The
chief forester not only upheld the crit
icisms of Secretary Ballinger, but sug.
gested that the president himself had
been mistaken in the facts when he
removed Mr.. CLAWS from the public
service.
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester and
intimate friend of Theodore Roosevelt,

A Secret of the Frozen North.

A Secret of the Frozen North.
This is a good time to spring a polar
story, and perhaps that accounts for
the revival of the Andree legend about
his having reached Canada and per-
ished there after rounding the pole.
Two days after Andree assembled. with
two companions, from a point in north
western Spitzbergen in 1907 he dis
patched a pigeon message. which was
found the fourth day after the ascen-
sion. The balloon had made 145 miles
in two days, and that is the last word
from the ill fated explorer.
Andree carried along thirteen buoys,
each having a special significance,
to be cast overheard at various stages
of his fight. The n designed to in
dictate the passing of the pole, minus
any message, turned up two years
after the ascension in the coastal cur
rents off Spitzbergen. How far it had
been north could not be conjectured.
There is something plausible in this
tale from the Canadian wilds about "a
house falling from the sky" among
the Indians, who looked upon the event
as a miracle and cached the imple-
ments and fittings of the strange Wis
liant, likewise the bodies Of three
men found in the debris. The place
is not hard to visit, and without doubt
this latest clew will lead to anothe'
romantic polar search.

IRON anu SCeeA IN 1OVOs
The iron and steel industry closed
the year 1900 under favorable cir
cumstances. according to the Iron
Trade Review. In practically all fin
ished lines. says this authority. "the
mills were operating at high tide
gaits" and their books so filed with
undelivered orders that activities will
be continued for months to come! The
years closing prices for finished steel
products were very close to the open
ing prices.
The Review concludes: &
"The year 1909 will always be re-
membered as the year in which the
effort to maintain finished steel prices
collapsed, but in the light Of the his
tory since made it will be we'll to re-
member that the year is also conspic-
uous as witnessing a healthy and rea-
sonable reaction toward fair prices
with an absolutely open market, but
with a spirit of fairness and good will
p%ervading the trade which never be-
fore existed under similar outward
conditions"
