sponsibie for 595 fires in this state,
over "a per cent. Of the total number
of fires, and a fire waste Of $500, $50,
or over is per cent of the total frs
loss.
These fires were responsible for
shutting out many human lives.
Ordinary care and timely repairs
would have prevented most of this
fire waste and loss of human life.
The danger season for this class Of
fires is fast approaching, so do not
delay to have your heating plant in
spected by a competent man, and
make the needed repairs at once.
Consider carefully the following.
QUESTIONS:
Have you metal stove board under
the heating stove?
Is all woodwork within two feet of
the stove protected
Is the stove free from cracks and
breaks?
Is the stove pipe clean, sound and
perfectly joined and rigidH
Have you protected all woodwork
within eighteen inches of the stove
piper
Is there a ventilated, double
thimble around the pipe where st
passes through a partition
Is the chimney clean, is it free
from cracks, and is the mortar be-
tween the bricks still sound2
Does any woodwork come in con-
tact with the chimney
Are any fue holes papered over.
covered with wood or stuffed up with
rags2
Does the wall paper come up
against the stovepipe
Have you protected the ceiling
over the boiler furnace and the walls
near eitherH
Have you protected the woodwork
above and near the smokestack 2
Are you overheating the stove or
furnace. or leaving drafts wide open
Have you metal receptacles for
ashes? Do you dump ashes on wooden
floors or against wooden walls parti-
tions and fences2
Do you deposit rags. waste paper
and other rubbish with ashes?
Do you keep the boiler room free
from combustible rubbish?
Safety along these lines means pro-
lection of your property and the
lives of those dear to you; so in
spect all these things and exercise
due care.

The Shape Of the Sky.

hemisphere, with the zenith appearing
as distant as the horizon At sea or

distance Of the horizon Is best shown
Professor ]. NJ. Pernter in study Of
this subject reached the conclusion
that the form Of the vault In vertical
section Is. that Of the segment Of cir
Gle, the arc of which subtends at the
center at an angle Of the order Of 40
degrees. If the reader will draw such
a segment he may be surprised by the
amount of flattening which Is thus
ascribed to the sky. From this optical
Illusion many curious effects arise
such as the seeming increased magni-
tude of the sun and moon when near
the horizon and the apparently oval
forms of halos and coronas seen at low
attitudes.
