aiasBaclaEe vnuieTer 51 I 1 NOTES AND C03IMKXTS The work of incendiaries in the United States which insurance men believe causes great loss every year has led lire underwriters to attempt to secure the enactment of laws providing for the adequate investigation of the causes of all liresand the prosecution of all persons believed to be incendiaries The National Board of Fire Underwriters has sent to the Governors of different States a communication calling attention to the need of legislation on this subject and has also issued a pamphlet containing the recommendations of insurance commis sioners that laws be enacted requiring investigation of all fires It shows that the fire waste has increased from 84 OfJOOOO in 1882 to 143000000 in 1891 The Insurance Commissioner of Colorado in his report for 1892 says that fully 35 per cent of the fires there are of incendi ary origin The Connecticut Commis sioner says that the risk should be divided between the companies and the insured to induce greater care against fires Copies of Massachusetts and New Uampshirc statutes on the subject and of bills introduced at the last sessions of the New York and New Jersey legisla tures are included in the pamphlet Oxe of the curious experiences of some of the recent Greenland travelers was to learn after their return that an odd waltz performed by the South Greenland Eski mos was in reality a European dance all the rage last winter in Paris thence trans planted to Copenhagen and by easy transition in a Danish steamer and in the person of a Danish official or perhaps ofiicialers taken to the fjord cut and glacier browed west coast of Greenland It is the old old story of going awaj from home to hear news or learn some thing of that that we should have known from the very association with it but the incident after all suggests what a compressed little globe this is after all Paris aud UpQrnivik Ilatnmerfest and Melbourne Cape Barren and Cape Town are so near each other that one can almost touch them while experience proves that to go to any out of the way place and not find something in common with the localit its people or its visitor is so rare as to almost be an impossibility Every traveler even the most casual is im pressed with this- and as for the globe trotters the world to them is but a little back yard geographical patch in which kingdoms and empires take the place of the long rows of cabbages and turnips Not even Heaven itself is sacred to ths advertiser aud the Milky Way is about to become a valuable advertising medium The other night at Ealing a town half way between Loudon and Windsor an enterprising genius rejoicing in the name of Sidney Hodges succeeded in projecting a large and highly luminous letter on the sky by some means of his own invention and demonstrated to an interested party of spectators that with the electric light there would be no diffi culty on a favorable night in displaying not only letters but words and signals ia the same fashion The heavens will soon be telling besides their own story one of certain peoples soap or liver pills or porous plasters To what extent this new branch of advertising enterprise will interfere with the science of astronomy can onlv be left to the imagination Captain C W Adams of West Addion Vt has raised quite a large portion of the timbers of the flagship Congress of General Benedict Arnolds fleet which was sunk in Lake Champlain in October 177G The timbers of which there are about thirty feet of the after part of the keel aud keelson with a num ber of the ribs attached are of oak and perfectly sound The wood wheu polished is very dark and takes a beau tiful finish It wll be either worked into canes and other articles as relics or kept intact for the Worlds Fair Mr Adams has also several shells and solid shot grape and musket balls which he has found near the Avreck A xuMKER of German dentists have been heavily fined by justices in Prussia aud Saxony for advertising themselves as doctors of dentistry on the strength of diplomas received from American col leges The German laws recognize only four classes of doctors those of law theology philosophy and medicine Speakiug of dentists it is worth noting that the three dentists of Berlin Dresden and Leipsic who have the largest aud most remunerative practice are respec tively Messrs Sylvester Jenkins and Young all natives of Maine The two last mentioned were formerly residents of Bangor Svlvester aud Jenkins are court dentists PjtOFESSOit L F Blake of the Univer sity of Kansas in an article on Safety from Electricity in the Electrical World says For buildings in cities except churches aud other high struc tures rods I think arc unnecessary Lightning strikes seldom in the cities compared with the country one reason being that the many electric wiies tele phone and telegraph and electric light are really saieguards A building is safer with such wires over it than with out Iu the country however buildings may need protection Fouk years ago it is said General Harrison vent to bed on the night of election before he knew the result The wife of general Hancock declared that the

beaten he turned over and went to sleep again A Sax Fuaxcisco firm is about to attempt the revival of Avhaling in the Antarctic Ocean which has not been carried on for as many as twenty five years A quarter of a century ago the catches of sperm aud right whales used tp be excellent there and many of the whalers are now of the opinion that the Southern seas will again afford a profit able field for operations The red glow of the planet Mars lias puzzled everybody but a French astrono mer who gives it as his opinion that the vegetation of that far away world is crim son instead of green He

Bright Bohomo for Making Money There are several women in this city says tne Now York Mail ana Express who are making snug sums of money by soiling fine underwear of their own doing on the Installment plan They generally work In pairs One of the women will take orders and do the col lecting while the other remains at home and sews The latter has a number of girls to help her A young widow who was left penni less when her husband died is credited With having originated tho sceme Sho had always been noted among her ac quaintances for the excellence of her needlework and she proceeded to turn that accomplishment to a useful pur pose She went out and solicited orders and devoted three days to the work She began timidly and with little hope of success but she was received kindly wherever she went and was agreeably surprised to find at tho close of the three days tramping that she had se cured orders for more work than she could do in a month She hired two girls to assist her and delivered some of the work the following week Now sho solicits orders and collects every day until noon and spends the re mainder of the day superintending the work of the girls at her home These enterprising women get better prices than are charged in the stores but customers do not complain as they haye five weeks in which to settle for a 5 purchase I have done very well said the young widow for although I have been working at this for less than a year I have a bank account and am constantly extending the scope of my operations The Story of Sir l oln The famous story of the word sir loin or more properly surloin is of recent creation A King of England the mery monarch most likely com ing in hungry one day from the chase had served up to him a savory loin of beef So delighted was the famished
