Fire Loss in United States.

If one could imagine all the build
ings destroyed by fire in the United
States in a year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying a
lot So feet wide, the highway would
extend from New York to Chicago,
and the buildings would line it on
each side. Such is the calculation OF
the department of interior. Further
more, a person travelling this scene OF
desOlatiOn would pass in every thou
sand feet a ruin from which an in
jured person has been taken. At every
three-quarters of a mile he would en-
counter the remains of a human be-
ing who had been burned to death.
For years, it is estimated, the
value of actual property annually
consumed by fire in this country
reaches $250,O000OO, and another sum
of about like proportions is spent fol-
the maintenance of fire departments
waterworks, Insurance premiums, etc.
to prevent still greater lOsses.-Cleve

MOVIES ARE PUT TO NEW USE
Orchestra Directed by Screen Repro
duction of Noted Conductor
Handling Baton.

The latest in the fields of motion
pictures and music Is combination of
the two, in which the mechanical
processes of one are used to direct the
artistic processes of the other.
This is nothing more nor less than
the conducting of an orchestra by
means of the screen reproduction Of a
noted conductor, handling the baton. 1t
has been tried in Chicago as an ex-
pertinent, with such compositions as
the overture for civilian Tell," and
Mendelssohn's "Spring Song"
/ The system as tried out and found
acceptable consists simply of project
ing on a screen in full view of the
orchestra, pictures previously taken
of an impresario conducting the COM
position to be rendered. 1t is claimed
that because the pictures are more
conspicuous to the musicians than the
man himself could be, it is easier for
them to follow his baton. The project
ing machines are motor driven, this
enabling the operator to regulate them
to any speed desired and to maintain
1t without breaks.

scuIptor,s Romantic Career.

If there be anything more remark
able than the mighty genius of ROdin,
the worlds greatest living sculptor,
who recently married at the age Of
seventy, it can only be the romantic
story of his life's career. AS boy he
ran about the streets of Paris unkempt
and uncared for, depending for liveli-
hood on the charity of passers-by, and
performing sundry errands for artists
of the Latin quarter. His first perma-
nent occupation was that Of mixing
clays for a now famous sculptor. 1t
was during these days that he devel-
oped a love for modelling. He was
twenty-five when he exhibited his first
statue, '"The Man With the Broken
Nose"

seanIanes Fold Their Wings.

Owing to the large number of sea-
planes employed by the entente naval
forces in the present war, especially in
the waters Of the near East, the Brit
ish and French aircraft designers
have developed a special type Of hy-
droplane provided with folding wings,
notes the Scientific American. This
feature results in a great sa,ing Of
space on board a warship or special
mother ship when a large number Of
seaplanes are carried. The wings are
hinged to the fuselage so that they can
be swung back when the craft is to be
stored away, yet the seaplane can be
made ready and equipped for sustained
service in the space Of few minutes
by the aviator and his corps Of as.
sistants.

HOW Different SHIPS SINK
Nearly Every Glass or Design of Yes
sci Has Particular Way of
Going Down.

Nearly every class or design of ves-
sci sinks in particular way, For in
stance, the old type of single-bottom
steamers, with few or no bulkheads-
that is, in the modern sense Of the
term-almost invariably founders on
more or less Of an even keel, which
means that they sink level, and not
with their bow or stern up in the air,
London Tit-Bits says.
This is accounted for by the fact
that at whatever point the water may
enter, it practically finds it own level,
as there are no subdivisions to OBJ
struct 1t.
Now, in the case Of a modern YES
sci, which Is built with numerous sub
divisions, it invariably happens that
she founders with her bow or stern high
out of the water; or else she sinks
with a heavy list, or cant, to one side
or the other. The reason for this is
that the bulkheads prevent the water
which enters the vessel from finding
its level; consequently, when one par
ticular portion of the ship is full of
water, while the remainder is prac-
tically watertight, that part which is
water laden sinks first, owing to its
greater weight.
1t is for this reason that such terri
BILE loss of life frequently occurs ii
modern shipwrecks. Owing to the un
even sinking, it is often found impOs
sible to lower the majority of the life
boats, as they would fail to reach the
water.

Germany Developing Water Power

Germany is making more and more
use of her water power for the pro-
duction of electricity. This extended
use of water power has powerfully
contributed to the saving Of human
labor, with the result that Germany
can now produce electrical energy al
most as cheaply as the countries. pos
sessing an unlimited supply Of water
power. The business of extracting
nitrogen from the atmosphere has
been so successful, according to re-
port, that in 1917 the Government
will be able to dispose Of 100000
tons of nitrous manure, which is four
times the amount needed in peace
time"
