The feature of the annual meeting
of the Tennessee Fire Prevention AS.
ISOLATION, held in this city, were the
talks made by o. P. Rush, special
agent of the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company, and Alvin F. Hobert, insur.
ance commissioner and secretary OF
state of Louisiana. Mr.. Rush discussed
fires and their causes in an exhaustive
manner. He said that carelessness
and Indifference caused 70 per cent of
the fires in this country; that stats.
tics and the reports of the fire mar.
shals of the various states and coun.
tries disproved the assertion that had
been made by some of the periodicals
of the country to the effect that fire
insurance was conducive. to incen.
diarism. The statistics showed, on
the contrary, that 1851 per cent of the
fires were of incendiary origin, and
that granting that portion of the
1915 per cent Of those fires which
were of unknown origin were credited
to those resulting from incendiarism,
that it would still be seen that the
latter did not play the largest par
in the matter Of causing fires.

Another French woman has scored a

straight and narrow path of eXactitude
which led her countrywoman, Madame
Curie to the detection of radium, Madame
Victor Henri has Just achieved an equally
brilliant discovery in another field, that
OF biology.
Beside the transmutation of chemical
elements she has placed the trtnsmuta-
ton of microbes, and in so doing has es-
tablished an important modification OF

that ultraviolet rays are able to bring
about a transformation or trnnsmutation
Of bacterial species in few minutes OF

This accords with DE Vries' modifica-
ton Of Darwins theory OF evolution, for
De Nries teaches that species may vary
