Salt Gsrms,

Dear Statistics show that in
the decade from 1900 to 1910, the rural
population of Brazos County decreased
nearly 600 This loss in rural popula.
ton was made up in the gains of
Bryan town, so that the population
of the county stood at a standstill dur.
ing the ten years. II Brazos County
had made gains during this time equal
to the gains made by the State as a
whole, her population would have in.
creased by slightly more than 5000.
During this same decade, Shelby
County gained 5,971, Nacogdoches
County gained 2,743, Cherokee gained
1854, Rusk gained 1866, Liberty gain.
ed 1854, and Sabine gained 1,1S1.
These are all typical East Texas coun-
ties, situated practically the same as
Brazos. Limestone County showed a
gain of 2,0lS, and Freestone a gain OF
1854 during this period.

Newton's Shock.

The immortal discoverer Of the law
Of the attraction Of gravity was at
one time beside himself. In his fiftieth
year Newton suffered the severe shock
from which he never fully recovered.
A dog upset lighted candle. and pre-
cious manuscripts embodying the re-
suits Of many years experiments In
optics were destroyed. In consequence
OF this Newton's mind lost its balance.
Brewster denies this, but about its
truthfulness there is not much room
for doubt 1t is certain that for con-
siderable time his letters were quite
incoherent, and to be accounted for
upon no other hypothesis than that OF
a disordered mentality. Newton slow
ly recovered and lived to be eighty
three years old.

The Eagle has made careful inquiry
among automobile men to learn if ii
is really necessary to pull wide open
the mud-valves of an automobile on
a smooth, paved street. They say
positively 1t is not. The only conclu.
sion we can draw then is that they
who do it, do 1t only for the purpose
of attracting attention and getting peo-
pie to look at them. We would sug-
gest that when one of the thunder
ers" is heard approaching, the people
on the sidewalk and in the stores and
offices uncover their heads and bow
very low in acknowledgment of the
august presence.

total number Of fires. The Texas
state insurance board, an official body
holds that practically 80 per cent Of
the fires are preventable by the exer-
else of reasonable care and protection.
individual and municipal.
/ Thse figures of the Texas board are
more interesting because they cover
every fire reported to it, by the local
authorities under the provisions of the
state law since December /, 1910 now
totalling $1,000. This is the largest
mass of official data obtainable, and
furnishes a sufficiently broad basis
of average to be conclusive, while the
fact that 1t is furnished and tabulated
by local and state officials puts It in
different class from statistics col
lected by insurance companies, which
might be suspected of drawing con-
clusions to suit their own interests
In fact, the state authorities go much
further than the insurance men in es-
timating the proportion of fires that
are preventable.
OF 14,172 dwelling fires, the Texas
board holds that S6.7 per cent were
due to preventable causes, and Of the
16.S2S fires in all other classes except
cotton gins and automobiles, which
are excluded because they burn from
IN
automobiles which 1913 per cent were
prventable. Commenting on these fig
ures the Texas board says:
at will be noted in the data herein
presented that more than 1S per cent
of all fires charged to dwelling class
alone, from known causes, are the re-
suit of defective flues. The unsafe in
stallation of stoves an other heating
devices in that class of risks are re-
sponsible for II per cent of the losses,
while sparks on roof produce more
than per cent of dwelling fires. The
ever present menace of shingle roof
is in videnee on every hand, and par
ticularly is it noticible that in almost
every cause shown carrying a heavy
percentage of losses. 1t will be noted
that gasoline and other volatile fires
are entered with a loss ratio in all
classes entirely out of keeping with
conditions they should be, due almost
entirely to improper storage and care
less handling of these products.
