Between the anarchist who fires a
food warehouse or a grain elevator,
and the fellow who causes its partial
or total destruction by inditferently
throwing aside a lighted match or
cigar or cigarette stub?
Between the arsonist who burns a
building out OF criminal intent and
the careless housekeeper or mill own

mismanagement and untidiness per-
init fire dangers to accumulate that
sooner or later must surely cause a
serious fire and perhaps the loss OF

SAFE GUARDING TEXAS
AGAINST FIRE LOSS

To the Fire Chiefs and city Fire
Marshals of Texas;
The need for effective tire proven
ton work was never more in evil
dence than at the present time. Last
year the total fire loss in the United
STATES reached the enormous sum OF
approximately five hundred million
dollars, the heaviest annual loss ever
recorded in this country with the
single exception of the year 1906
when the great San Francisco earth
quake and conflagration occurred.

science who burns out for profit,

and the pyromaniac viii be with us
always, but carelessness and ignor-
ance figure as the chief causes of the
fires that occur and just so long as
the people themselves countenance
the existence of hazards that can
serve no purpose other than destroy
life aud property. just that long may
we expect continuation OF the Ma
tons enormous fire loss that un-
checked fortells a halt of its own mo-
ton sooner or later for the want OF
materials to consume.

sO-NJue-Au-Hoar Fish.

Much has been written as 10 the speed
at which birds fly. At least equally in
teresting is the question Of the pace at
which fish can swim.
Now. you can time a birds flight from
to time a fish in the water IS much
more difficult matter
In the clear water Of a moorland
trout stream you can sometimes get
very good view of trout. and, peering
over the edge of high bank into a
pool. have dropped a small pebble and
watched the trout fash away. After
trying this experiment a good many
times I have come TO the conclusion that
a small trout can move a. pretty nearly
so mile- an hour, says Christopher
Peck
But do not think that a trout Is a.
fast as a nackerel. A mackerel. weight
for weight. is certainly a stronger fish
than a trout. and IN a race between
the two 1 should say that the nacserei
would be the winner.
Other things being equal. the larger
fish the more RAPIDLY it can swim. 4
10-pound salmon can give a very good
imitation Of a TORNADO Even when
hooked and dragging line against p
heavily braked reel its speed Is simply
! terrifying.
A tarpon. with It's much greater size,
| its long. slender body, and tremendous
muscular power. can certainly outstr'u
salmon. 1 have heard men who havs
caught tarpon assert that a tarpon can
travel at so miles an hour.
