WHY PRAGUE FIRE
LOSSES ARE LIGHT

The most convincing argument
against the careless construction OF
huilings in this country as regards
protection against fire. and the ma
tional carelessness in operation which
is responsible for so large propor-
ton of the fire waste. Is that fire
losses In European cities are about
one-tenth what they are In cities OF
smaller size in this country. A good
Illustration of this Is furnished by the
report furnished the State department
by Consul Joseph l.. Britain OF
Prague, Bohemia. He says that In the
Hast three years the loss from file has
been less than $4,000 annually and
that Il has been fifteen years since a
life was lost by fire. In the ordinary
| American city Of half a million pop
ulation. the fire loss would average at
least 81 100000 a year. while the
deaths from fire will be numerous.
Pragues immunity from loss Is chief
Sly due to the superior construction re-
quired by law and the careful habits
of the people. and the responsibility
that fire damage entails upon the
owner of property. Most OF the
buildings are built of brick or stone
with tiled roofs. the Railways are
usually of concrete and the stairs OF
stone, and the kitchen floors are
built OF concrete with tile wainscot-
ing. The erection of hazardous build
| ings Is not petmitttd. and when mau
is SO unfortunate as to have a fire. he
is looked on as an offender in the eyes
of the law and is held responsible for
any damage that NAV be done>to ad-
Joining property. The per capita fire
loss of SO in American cities as COM
pared with such a record as this
shows the enormous price this country
Is paying. both In life and pronerty. for
its hazardous construction and general
lcarelessness.

! DOLLARS IN MANURE.
By ChesIa sherlock

, We are told that there are 10000. 600
horses and mules I'm the United States.
e2,5OO, 900 cattle, 50,O00,000 hogs and
so ,O0O, 900 sheep. A horse will dis
charge, aside from what is lost on the
public highways. seven pounds of nit
>rogen. thirty-five pounds of phosphor-
ic acid and seventy~pounds of potash.
Counting these elementD at their
market value. every horse and mule In
the United States annually produces
SIG worth of manure. or for the total
number of horses and mules the value
Of the manure given is $320,0O0,OOO.
In the course of year the average
farm COW win produce about one hun
dred pounds of nitrogen. seventy
pounds of phosphoric acid and one
hundred and five pounds of potash.
Calves. of course. do not produce near
ly SO much. but 1t is safe to say that
the average amount produced by ev-
cry calf in the United States Is fifty
pounds Of nitrogen. thirty-five pounds
of phosphoric acid and fifty pounds
OF potash. At the market value the
value of these elements given by each
COW In tn country is S13 per head. OF
a total of $Sl2. 100000.
The average hog PRODUCES twenty
five pounds of nitrogen, twelve pounds
of phosphoric acid and nine pounds OF
potash in a year. The market value
of the elements produced per head Il
$5.45. or 1852 100000 for tn total mum
ber OF hogs in the country.
The average sheep produces twelve
pounds of nitrogen. six pounds ol
phosphoric acid and eight pounds o.
potash On the market this would bt
worth $2.75, The total number oi
sheep in the country then produce
! $137.5000 900 worth of the elements
that make fertile soils. ~ NJ
The manure given BY poultry Is es'
pecially valuable and rivals sheep
