HOWARD C. CHRISTY

Howard Chandler Christy, whose name has appeared in the southeast corner of all about third of all the illustrations in American magazines, when the 'Christy girls" were all the rage, will be forty-six years old to- day, having been born in Morgan county, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1878. Unlike some of the competitors of his time Mir. Christy has a real knack for drawing pictures, and his people can be recognized as human at the very first glance. MT. Christy belongs to the Duncan Falls, Ohio, school of art, having been educated in that town He landed in New York about twenty five years ago, and made good with rush. When the Spanish T war broke out he enlisted with the Rough Riders and saw service in Cuba under Col. Roosevelt. He made his first big hit as an illustrator with his reproductions of the fighting be- fore Santiago. Like several other il- illustrators who have won fame and fortune, MT. Christy's name has oc- cupied a prominent place in the news paper headlines by reason of domestic infelicities.

MAINE-NEW BRUNSWICK
 BOUNDARY DISPUTE

The Maine-New Brunswick boun- versy involving the dispatch of Brit ish troops and Maine militia to the border, was arbitrated eighty eight years ago today by King William of Netherlands In his decision, after a long examination of the matter, he declared the question beyond his power to determine, but recommend ed a division of the disputed terri tory whereby the boundary would be a line due north from the source of the St Croix to the river St. John; thence in the middle of that river through the St. Francis to It's source, and thence along the highlands south westerly to mile tree and the head of the Connecticut river''
 This suggestion was acceptable to neither country. and the controversy continued. In 1899 armed men from Maine attempted to drive off men cutting timber on disputed territory and the Lieutenant-G Governor of New Brunswick issued a proclamation de- nouncing this as an invasion of Her Majestys territory. Sir John liar veys proclamation was answered by Gov. Fairfield. of Maine, who issued a call for 10000 troops. War seem ed imminent, but an arbitration com. mittee was appointed, and Maine gained the larger part of the dispCt. ed territory.

t1ty of grain intended for shipment to the Allies was destroyed, It was dis covered that the blaze was the result of a dust explosion caused by a spark either from friction or static eiec- tricity. Another conspicuous instance was the Baltimore pier fire which at first was positively ascrihed to pro German plotters. Rigid investigation by federal agents. according to fire marshals definitely determined it's ron-incendiary origin.
 Following a reference to the Nor gan. N J., disaster in which 100 lives were lost and $20,0O0,O0O damage done, delegates spoke of the work accomplished the past year by the fire prevention section of the War Industries Board. This bureau, it was stated, had inspected more than 2,000 large plants valued at over 0.000,0o0 ,000 and in a large per centage Of cases the safety recom- mcndalons of its volunteer doilar-a year engineers were carried out.
 It was stated that fire prevention methods adopted for the 16 large army cantonments throughout the United States had proved most eff fect1ve although these camps con sisted of wooden buildings, Hazards were reduced to the minimum by proper watchfulness, water protec- ton, isolation, conduiting, and en- forcement of regulations in regard to | smoking and the use of matches and | lights.
 H, c. BrearIy, one of the speakers, said New York city was in imminent peril of a great conhagration when i on Nov after the erroneous report of the German surrender, d storm | of paper was thrown from the win dows of business buildings littering the streets to a depth of several | inches and many miles of ticker tape
 covering telegraph and telephone wires constituted a fire hazard of the power. Fire Chief cIenIon of New
 ork city declared that if a serious blaze had started at that time, or | on Nov. Il, four days later when the
 scenes of pandemonium were re
 peated. all New York might have been laid in ashes. The fire depart
 nents would have been crippled also he said, by the crowds of traffic con
 gestion in the streets. As one of th'
 delegates expressed 1t, Thus was in

FIRE LOSS OF UNITED STATES
 GREATER THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY
Careessness Principle Caus Worth of Property Burned Fifteen Million Dollarse of Property Loss Over in Past Year.

New York, Jan, 10 - Careless smokers and users of matches were responsible for s15,724,556 of the total loss of 6o,466,o54 worth of property by "preventabIe fires' in the United States during A91S, ac- cording to members of the Fire Marshals' Association of North America who are holding a two days conference here with the National Board of Fire Underwriters begin hing today.
 Figures showing that the United States leads the world in property destruction by fire were given in the opening session, the damage per cap ita being stated as s2.1O annually in this country as compared with 49 cents in France, 3S cents in England, 2S cents in Germany, 25 cents in Italy ad Austria, 15 cents In Switzer- land and Il cents in Holland.
 Homer Rutledge, of Lansing, Mich, fire marshal of that state, dis cussed "The Arson Trust" and show e1 how incendiaries had burned sS.121,S16 worth of property in one | year during the war, exclusive of l the many other millions destroyed 1 indirectly by explosions, Ole o. Roe, i of Des Moines, fire marshal of Iowa, In an address on "Pyromania," said education was one of the most efi 1 cient means of combating this evil. F. R. Morgaridge of New York, for merly assistant fire marshal of sIn- diana. said most ffrebugs were adole- scent boys and girls. He advocated proper home and school training. Despite the fact that the United l States was at war and that enemy agents were active, 20 states reported slight decrease in the number oi cases of arson. While it was an. nounced as a fact that in the f1rst nine months after America drew the

''MYSTERY SHIPS"
 IN BRITISH FLEET
A Puzzle to Hun Command CTS, These Boats Wiped Out a Large Percentage of Destructive Enemy Submarines, and Made Possible the Transporta- tion of Troops.

Falmouth, England, Jan. 10-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press) Two German submarines were sunk in one day by the Mary B. Mitchell sailing vessel, one of the mystery ships of the war now exhibited here. This craft was one of the first, if not the first, of the decoy ships which played havoc with the U-boats. This vessel went into the decoy service early in 1916, under command of Lieutenant John Low rie. All her officers and crew vol unteered for the hazardous work. She was provided with a twelve pounder and two well-concealed six pound ers.
 She sighted the first submarine three miles away and loafed along awaiting @ chance to bag 1t. The German craft followed at safe dis tance for a time, but finally crawled closer and after satisfying itself that it had superior speed and gun power, opened fire.
 Failure of the mystery ship to re- turn fire at once baffled the German officers. They were quiet for fifteen | minutes, and then resumed fire. When the submarine came sufficiently close and was in good position abeam, the l concealed guns of the sailing ship were brought into play and landed six mortal hits on the submarine which was unable to fire an addition al shell. Just three minutes after | the first hit, the submarine was blown up by shot which holed i | just below the foredeck and caused an explosion which threw a vast col umn of water high into the air.
 Later the same day another Ger man submarine approached the Mary B. Mitchell and opened fire at a dis tance of about two miles. After the sixth round the mystery ship wa: | stopped and a boat put off. To al | appearances the craft was abandon ed. The submarine approached ths supposed wreck at full surface speed Then 1t submerged for time ant suddenly rose to the surface again.
 The gunners. of the Mary B Mitchell landed a shell just below the coming tower and pierced tn, side one foot above the water. 4 flash of brilliant blue flame and dense yellow smoke came from thu hole. Almost instantaneously an | other shell struck forward and thu submarine was enveloped In blacl smoke and sank into the water, boy foremost, with a loud gurgling ant missing.
 The official report does not say tha | tho Mary P Mitchell was filed witl wood to keep her from sinking, bu this was doubtless the case, as othe mystery ships were so equipped an were able to float in spite of an
 damage inflicted on them by torpe does and shells. Their guns wer
 frequently hidden behind doors i the sides of the ship which could b swung open.

CHEAP POSTAGE

This is the seventy ninth anniver- sary of the first trial of cheap post age, tho system of the penny post age having been inaugurated in Eng land on Jan. 10, 1840. The idea that letters could be forwarded to any part of England and delivered for only a penny seemed absurd to most Eng lishmen, and they predicted speedy failure for the project. It is unnec- essary to point out that they proved to be poor prophets.
 On this side of the Atlantic the much greater distances seemed to pre- clude the adoption of any such meas ure as a low, flat rate for letters. At the time Great Britain adopted pen ny postage, the rates in the United States were: for thirty miles, and un- der, six cents; thirty to sixty miles. eight cents; sixty to one hundred miles, ten cents, and over 100 miles a proportionate increase, so that a letter dispatched a distance of 45O miles cost twenty-five cents.
 With the adoption Of Rowland Hill's penny postage system, England also adopted his suggestion that the difficulties at ending prepayment of postage Imight be overcome by us- ing a bit of paper large enough to bear the stamp, and covering the bacN with glutinous wash, which, by az plying a little moisture, might be at tached to the back of the letter. ' Thus the postage stamp was born, and there came into existence those lit tic scraps of paper which are now collected by millions of men and boy' the world over, and some of which because of their rarity, are wortf thousands of dollars.
 An approach to the penny post age of Great Britain was made il 1881, when three-cent postage wal adopted in the United States, thu present wartime rate, for distance Of less than 5000 miles. Adhesive postage stamps had previously beer
