Chicago last year, 1889 were due to
careless use of matches. Nearly ten
thousand matches are scratched
every second of the day in this coun-
try, every one possible fire.
The report of the fire marshal for
Nebraska for 1910 shows that 1874
known causes of fires in that state,
106 were due to matches, of which 55
were caused by children playing with
matches, many of them resulting in
serious injuries.
Defective flues are responsible for
13 per cent of all the fires.
The fire waste of the United States
in the past ten years exceeds the
amount of gold held in the United
Kingdom, Austria, Hungary, Italy and
Spain. 1t Is equivalent to wiping out
the entire corn crop once every ten
years, and exceeds the annual value
of wheat, hay, rye, and oats. 1t is
twice the annual value of the cotton
crop. And most of this waste Is cas-
lily preventable and due to careless
ness in one form or another.

Grain Men Were Busy.

Chicago, May 31.-Tuesday, while
holiday for the grain exchanges, was
a busy day for the elevator men, rail-
roads and grain receivers, as all
worked to take care of the immense
quantity of cash grain received the
past three days. The inspection de-
partment was rushed to it's limit, and
in some instances where receivers had
cars of grain on the railroads they
went to the tracks in person and Sc.
cured samples of the grain and saw
to it that the cars were properly in
spected, switched to the elevator
yards and unloaded, so that the grain
can be delivered today.

THE LOS BY FIRE.

If all the buildings burned last year
in the United States were placed
close together on both sides of a
street, they would make an avenue of
desolation reaching from Chicago to
New York City. At each thousand
feet would be a building from which
a severely injured person had been
rescued, and every three-quarters OF
mile there would be the blackened
ruins of a house in which some one
had been burned to death.
The fire losses in the United States
in 1910 would pay the total interest
bearing debt OF the country in four
years.
They would build the Panama canal
in les sthan two years.
They exceed the total cost of the
army and navy of the United States
for the year.
They were greater than the annual
expenditure for pensions or the an.
nual cost of the United States pastel
service.
The cost of fires each year is one.
hal fthe cost of all the new buildings
erected in year.
The annual per capita fire waste in
the United States is $2.51; in Europe,
33c. Cause: The latter has better
construction, less carelessness, in.
creased responsibility.
II buildings in the United States
were as fireproof as in Europe, the
annual cost of fire losses and protec.
tion would be only $90.000,000.
Fires in the United States cost over
$500 a minute.
The way to get lower insurance
rates is to have fewer fires.
New York City spends $4,000, 900
a year for fire extinguishment, and
only $4,000 year 70 fire prevention.
The 90.000.000 people IN the United
States use more matches than the
9OO,0OO,O0O in the rest Of the more or
less civilized world. & ~ IS E

THE LAW OF REPRODUCTION.

Miss Lena Woodward of Thorn
Creek, Washington, once made an
experiment which proves in graphic
and most remarkable manner the
ratio of reproduction in seeds. One
spring she received a head of barley
in a letter from a friend in the east.
She planted those seeds and at har,
vest carefully cut each stalk with the
scissors and saved every grain. The
following spring that first crop was
planted and again harvested with
the shears. The third crop was one
of so many stalks that her father
came to her rescue and harvested it
with scythe, the experimenter
again being careful to save every
head. From that third crop there
was sufficient grain to sow a forty
acre tract and at the end of the fourth
season it was found that the exper.
imenter had 1900 bushels of barley
on hand or yield of about even
forty bushels to the acre.
Figure on this little and see what
it means TO allow noxious thistle
with a dozen downy heads to go to
seed on your farm.
