FATAL ACCIDENT
 RESULT OF JOKE
HIRAM BOY MEETS DEATH
FRIGHTENED WHILE PLAYING CARDS, FALLS FROM 23O-
 FOOT BLUFF.

Heber Springs, April "A de- plorable accident happened as a re- suit of what was intended as a joke Tuesday at midnight, when Claude Lowery, II year old, who lived with his father, c. B. Lowery, at Hiram, small village II miles east of Heber Springs, fell from bluff about 230 feet high and was instantly killed. Young Lowery and four companions had gone to the edge of the bluff with lantern to play cards. They were engaged in an exciting game when a young man riding along the public road 90 yards below, and seeing the light of the lantern and knowing what the boys were doing, called out to them that they need not run for he had caught them. The boys did run thinking that the person was their father.
 Young Lowery was sitting near the edge of the bluff, and in an effort to get up hurriedly lost his balance and fell over the cliff, striking first a ledge 150 feet beneath. He then fell to another ledge far below. The alarm was given and the neighbors gathered around the scene of the ac- cident and began to search for the boy. His sister was the first to dis cover his body, which was horribly mangled. wrapped around small tree. The boy who wanted to play the prank is prostrated with grief IS are also the members of the f. Y The remains were buried yesterday m the neighborhood cemetery.

Checking the Fire Loss,
lSt. Albans Messenger. J


SIN talking about waste just look
at the figures for Vermont S fire loss,
ST .32S, 561.76 for 1918. This is ire
mendous price to pay for carelcssness.
When a fire occurs the first question
asked is How much was the insur
ance!' Insurance makes no difference
with the real loss. 1t simply distrib
utes it instead of placing everything
upon the person whose property is de-
stroyed. We all help to pay the price
in the fire insurance premiums we are
forced to pay. The United States is
the most wasteful country in the world
when it comes to fire losses. When we
talk about conservation there big
field for study in seeking to reduce our
burden of, insurance through reasonable
precautions. ''-Brattleboro Reformer.
This country must learn to build for
the future. As the Reformer points
out, this country suffers in great de-
gree by comparing the per capita fire
loss here with that in most of the Eu-
ropeau countries. The reason is we'll
known. In Europe no one is permit
ted to put up a fire trap or building
that is menace to those which sur
round it, Wooden roofs are persona
non grata and the building code is
strict in itself and is strict in its en-
| forcement.
! There is hardly town which is Sc
| small that it does not require a build
| ing code that is designed to protect AM
| preserve. Here in Vermont the small
er communities are delinquent in anoth
CT way. They seem to think that be
cause they are small they do not neec
any sort of Il fire department othe
/ than the bucket brigade. The result o
this thoughtless policy is well know
land it is the melancholy duty of thu
state papers to record few time
every year that some little communit,
has been visited by 4 serious fire t,
light which there were practically II
means ut hand.
Correctly it is said that while we n
| troubling ourselves about the conservo
ton of our natural resources we ough
to pay some attention to our artificial
ones. No greater falacy can exis
than the one which contends that in
surance makes good the loss. Insur
ancc deplctes the reservoir of genera

up in smoke is not brought back b

Naturally the country cannot affor
such destruction. Hence the agita
ton for more stringent fire preventio

CROSSING THE ATLANTIC UNDER STEAM
First Voage April %, 1888

Seventy six years ago today the first
vessel to cross the Atlantic ALL the
way under steam arrived in New York
harbor at 10 o'clock at night. 1t was
the Sirius, coastwisc steamer char
tered from an English company by Ju-
MUS Smith, a Connecticut Yankee, to
beat out another British vessel, the
Great Western, for the glory of being
the first real transatlantic steamship.
The Great.Western, which. had left Eu-
rope three days later, arrived in New
York only a few hours behind the ST
RUS. The Savannah had. crossed the
Atlantic 10 years before, but she had
used steam only during three days of
the voyage. The Sirius made the trip
from Cork, Ireland, in IS days, making
the last OF her historic run by burning
her extra spars and 43 barrels of re.
sin. A great crowd gathered at Jones s
wharf to celebrate the arrival and huge
bonfres were built along the water
front to light up tile boat.

Ocean Traffic Impossible

Several decades ago d learned professor
delivered a course of lectures, in one Of
which he proved to his own satisfaction
that the Atlantic Ocean could never be
crossed by steam. Steam power had
been discovered and applied on land, but
he was confident it could never he APP
piled to the ocean. Under the peculiar
conditions cf the hcaVins waves. the
daliSer of storms, the rolling of the tide,
aud SO forth, YOU could never apply
steam to navigation ACROSS the Atlantic.
The book in which the lecture was
published was on the liist steamer that
crossed the Atlantic. Tie captain took
it along as a sort, of curiosity That
book did not have very large sale, but
there has been quite a ruin of steamers
ever since the professor ceased to argue
that steam could not be utilized on tho
uCean--Thc Christian Herald.

The Conditions Today

Today transatlantic sailing ship is
as rare sight in almost any port as
was steamer rs years ago. Today
more than half of all the world $ YES
sells are propelled by steam. 1t has
been an important factor in the sue
cessful penetration of the polar regions,
it has carried great fleet OF Ameri-
can battleships around the world, and
almost daily with engineering improve
ments it has established some new
speed record. A modern swift mail
steamship can make nearly 800 miles
day Using the Suez Canal and the
new gate way at Panama, such a ship
could encircle the earth in nearly a
straight line in less than 80 days-a
voyage of $4,000 miles. The old ST
| irius in her day would have had to en-
circle Africa and South America and
make Il journey of nearly $4,000 miles
| At the rate at which she made hel
first trip across the Atlantic she would
have required practically seven months
