FIRE LOSSES FOR
TWELVE MONTHS $234,f7O,650
Outbreaks in United States and Canada
Last Year Cost This Sam.

Chicago, January - = Statistics
made public here show that losses by
fire in the United States and Canada
in 1910 amounted to 1924, 470,650, or
over $30,000,0O0 more than the losses
in 1909 December losses were ex-
ceptionally heavy. aggregating $21,-
$4,000.
Thirty-six fires caused a damage Of
100000 or more, and in ten the loss
exceeded 100000 each. In only three
preceding years have the fire losses
been heavier than in 1910, one being
the year of the Chicago fire, the other
of the San Francisco fire
Federal and state officials agree that
the majority of these losses are pre-
ventable, most of them being due to
carelessness. They urge that a reduc-
ton OF this fire waste be made a part
of the campaign for the conservation
of natural resources.
In spite of the increasing losses it
is said that the average rate of fire
insurance shows a reduction in 1910.

SIGHT OF OATS KILLED
THIS OLD STARVED HORSE
Ancient Racer Only Saw Them, But
Shock Was Too Great.

New York, January Il when a
black horse wandered through Morn
ingside Park recently at dawn, nib
bling at the dead grass at the side Of
the walks, Policeman Lederer over
took him and started to the station
Rouse, when he discovered hanging
from the animals neck a placard read
ing:
This is a racehorse, 1t has run and
won many races. On account of the
new racing law its owner has gone
broke and hopes he will fall into the
hands of some good sport who will
give him the care and attention he
deserves"
At the station house it was agreed
t, take the horse to a livery stable
where the best box stall was hired
AS the horse was led into the stall
a hostler rushed forward with masl
of bran and goodly supply of oats
The horse looked at the feed, started
forward and dropped dead.
The sight of that food killed him,
said the hostler. THAT old plug AIM
had a good feed for some time"

english HEN FAILS
AGAIN in HER DUTY
Country Face to Face With
Egg Famine.

London, Eng, January 11.-Not
withstanding the expectations of En-
gland, her hens have failed to do theil
duty, and, therefore, she is face tc
face with an egg famine. Prices very
soon are expected to reach figure I'M
paralleled.
The English hen, however, is not
entirely to blame for this state, of af-
fairs, for 1t appears, according to
report by Edward Brown, secretary
OF the National Poultry Society, who
has just returned from a trip through
Germany, that the product of the
alien hen is being consumed more
largely at home, and this has led to
a tremendous decrease in the number
of eggs exported from other countries
to this.
found,' said Mr.. Brown, that +
egg is entering more largely into the
everyday food of the German owing
TO the increase in meat prices. Last
year were received 100000, 900 fewer
dozen eggs than in 1908, at the same
time paying 100000 more for them.
Since 1907 the Italian egg supply
to England has diminished by one
half, as have also the egg imports TO
this country from Austria and Hun
gary
France is in the same boat, the sum
of $S,O00,OOO our annual average egp,
tribute to her, having declined last
year to 100000 1t is only oues-
ton of time when Germany Will
absorb the egg supply from countries
touching on her borders which have
hitherto sent their product to us. I'm
less there is great egg development
IN the United Kingdom an alarming
shortage is inevitable"
So it will be seen that if the En-
glish hen remains unpatriotie the
price of eggs, which has increased %
per cent since 1903, will approach the
hgure paid by Americans when il was
understood here, the output of eggs
vas controlled by the meat trust

colonization project, one of interna-
ttonal scope, which will not only at
tempt to turn the tide of immigration
from the cities to the country, but in
measure to control Catholic immi-
grafton to the United States, is being
pushed by the Catholic clergy of the
country.
The official title of the organization
Is the Catholic Colonization of the
united states of America. The found
er and first president is Rev. Julius
b. Deyas, pastor of St. John Berck-
mans church. Chicago, but Cardinal
Gibbons and other big churchmen are
behind the movement.
The object of the organization is
| three-fold. First, to search out the
most available agricultural lands i'm
nc United States which are open to
colonization, and direct immigrants 10
these lands; second, to check unda-
sirable immigration to the United
states through corporation with the
local clergy in those foreign countries
from which come the great bulk of
immigrants; third, to establish a
church and school in each of the col
onies formed, in order to give perma-
nence to the community.
The first move of the society will
be to send abroad "chaplains of col
onization to interest the Catholic cler-
gy Of Europe i'll the project. The To-
cal priests will be asked to keep
these chaplains informed of families
within their parishes who intend to
come to the United States. If the i'm.
migrants are of the desirable class
the chaplains will endeayor to have
them come to the new agricultural
colonies and stay away fro mthe cit
les. If they are classed as "undesir-
ables," the local clergy will endeavor
to dissuade them from leaving their
native land
