THE CRAWFORD NOTCH HPURCHAsE.

The purchase Of Crawford Notch by the
State of New Hampshire. which Is now
substantially effected, is gratifying from
at least two points of view. One is that
of the yindication Of New Hampshires
sincerity in urging the enactment by
Congress of the Appalachian Forest Re
serves bill. There were those who OBJ
iected that New Hampshire and other
states were trying to get the federal gov
ernment to go to great expense to do
things which they ought to do them
selves, and 1t was specifically suggested
that If New Hampshire wanted the
White Mountain forests preserved she
ought to purchase them herself That
argument was not altogether valid, for
reasons which we have hitherto pointed
out, prominent among them being the
fact that in most cases mountain forests
i,l one state are Of direct Importance to
the waterways and water supply Of other
states, perhaps-as in the case Of the
White Mountains Of New Hampshire-in
greater degree than to the state In
which they are situated. But, however
that may be, here is the fine example set
by New Hampshire The ink is little
more than dry on the federal law In
Question when she herself purchases a
large and exceedingly valuable portion of
the White Mountain range.
The other ground for qualification is
that thus one of the most splendid and
majestic mountain vistas In this part Of
the world is rescued from a spoliation
which had already begun, and which in
short time would probably have be-
come irreparable. Nowhere on this con-
tinent east Of the Rocky Mountains is
there more enhancing and inspiring
mountain view than that down Crawford
Notch from the summit Of Mount Will
ard, with the gigantic masses Of Web
ster and Wiley on either hand and tho
lone crest Of Chocorua cleaning like
star OH the remote horizon. The noun
tains themselves may be beyond the
power of man seriously to injure, but
their clothing lies at his mercy. Not
the least attractive and precious feature
Of the scene is found in the vast ex-
panses Of forest which cover the noun
tain slopes and fill the gorge with a
"sighing sea of birch and pine There
is just enough of naked granite gleam-
ing out upon the higher parts Of Web
ster to remind the beholder of the struct-
ure of the hills and 10 present a dra-
matte contrast to the miles OF forest
mantle-and also 10 suggest how ire
trievably the whole panorama would be
disfgured If all the Notch were thus laid
bare.
II is a fine achievement, upon which
New Hampshire is to be congratulated.
for which she Is TO be thanked In the
name Of the multtudes from all over the
land TO whom that peerless landscape
has been and will be Il source of Joy.
and In which we believe she will find
much material profit as well as credit OF
Il less tangible but perhaps still superior
kind The value OF noble scenery as an
economic asset is not small in this case
il Is large. But this must be merely Il
beginning. The Great Gulf, the Flume,
the slopes Of Mount Washington itself.
and a hundred other masterpieces Of nat
ure need protection from the menace of
desecration, and that they will receive 1t,
from either state or nation, we are now
encouraged to expect.

THE MARCH FIRE LOSS.

The fire loss of the United States ana
Canada for March last was $31,569,Soo.
according to returns collected by line
New York Journal Of Commerce anu
Commercial Bulletin" The total was
more than double the March loss IN
1909. and about S13OO0.00O greater than
the March loss in 1910 The average
monthly loss is below .$20ooO.OOO. ana q
large part Of the excess for last month
was due to the burning OF the Cap'toi
at Albany, where the sacrifice OF prop
erty was estimated at S5,5OO,OOO. But
there were three other fires In which
property worth over S1,0O0,OOO went up
in smoke.
An absolute waste Of S1,O00,00O day
last month and Of 100000 to SIOO.OOO a
day in average months is an appalling
charge on American resources. 1t mas
been shown that we burn up eight times
as much wealth as the average Eu-
ropean nation does. and that self-lm-
posed handicap is laid on the produce
tive energy Of the whole people. FOR
every man, woman and child must ulti-
mately bear a share Of the cost Of the
nations fire wastage When shall we
begin to practise the fundamental econ
omy which avoids foolish risks and
looks to the prevention Of fires and fire
loss instead OF merely insuring against
them? 1t may require a little greater
initial expense TO improve our building
methods, but the extra outlay will be
compensated for in lower insurance
charges and greatly reduced fire bills.
We are squandering now annually IN
fires the interest at s per cent on a
capital of between 81 900 and
$1,000 100000.

THE SUBWAYS GROWING TRAFFIC

The popularity of that ever popular
means Of rapid transit. the subway, con-
tinues 10 increase. In January Of this
year SS9.421 more passengers jammed
into its trains than in January, 1910.
February did even better, the second
month of this year showing an increase
Of 1,139.376 over the same month of last
year. The subway now carries more
passengers than all Of the elevated roads
together.
How is the increasing crowd carried?
No doubt the side-d0or train accounts
for most OF the additional space. The
old style car with cross seats in the mid
die left very little room for straphangers
in that part OF the car. In the new side
door cars the greatest amount OF stand
ing room is in the centre, there being
no seats on the side where the door
opens. while often the hinged seats on
the other side are not let down in rush
hours. Thus the utmost facilities for
standing are furnished. We have never
seen an estimate Of the increased capac-
ity for straphangers resulting from the
elimination Of cross seats, but 1t must
have been enormous. The InterborouGh
management was evidently blind to its
interests when 1t opposed side doors.
For future increase In traffic the IN
terborough Rapid Transit Company has
the free employment Of ten-car trains in
reserve Platforms hive been length henpl
and already there are some ten-car
trains, but these operating monstr0si-
ties" as the company once called them,
will no doubt be put on gradually, as the
increased traffic requires, care being
taken not to place in service enough at
once to give the public distaste for
riding in overcrowded trains.

The people Of Detroit voted the other
day to retain the central time standard
and not annex themselves to the East
for Theological purposes. 1t was argued
by the advocates OF the proposed change
that nearly an hour OF daylight would be
saved at most seasons Of the year by
putting the time forward. But Detroit
didn't want to fool itself into earlier
rising and more economical use Of solar
energy. 1t evidently counted those early
morning hours gained, not lost, which 1t
had been spending comfortably in bed.

ROMAN BRICKS.

When the preparations for rebuild
ing the Campanile in Venice were un.
dertaken the archaeologists were al.
forded an opportunity to make som,
interesting studies of the bricks.
1t was found that they had beer
used in arches. Notifications, the tops
OF walls, and in other ways before
they were built into the Campanile
and that they were not Venetian. but
Roman bricks.
These ancient bricks were made in
slices, for in many the layers could
be seen undisturbed. II is said that
bricks made in this way can bear a
greater weight than modern bricks.
The bricks examined we're of the
trst century. One OF them bore the
imprint of a horseshoe. which may
prove that Romans used a horseshoe
like ours. although II is generally be-
lieved that their horseshoes were
strapped on, not nailed.
