That Are Adopted In Time.

The report Of the fire inspection de.
partment Of Massachusetts will prob.
ably be Of interest. The total number
Of fires in dwellings reported was g.
9O5. The careless use of matches
heads the list OF causes by children
playing with matches came a close
second with 800. There were 1924 fires
started from unknown causes and 1923
from ignition from lamps or stoves.
Overheated stoves and cooking apa-
ratus caused 231 fires. and careless
smoking started 315.
Defective chimneys were the cause
Of POT blazes. and sparks from the
same source started PA. Spontaneous
combustion was given as the reason
for 1856 alarms, and the placing of hot
ashes In wooden receptacles caused
1913. Among the other causes mention.
ed by the department In its report
were: defective heating apparatus 40.
electrical causes 63, explosion of lamp.
lantern or stove %. gas jet igniting
other material so, and incendlary II.
Scores of other causes of fire are emu.
merated, among which SO are credited
to rats and matches.
A little care on the part of the owner
OF tenant would do u great deal to-
ward eliminating a number Of these
causes Of conflagrations and prevent a
large proportion Of the fire losses that
are suffered annually. Look over the
