men believe anises great loss every year has led fire 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 lias increased from S4 000000 in 1882 to 143000000 in 1891 The Insurance Commissioner of Colorado in his report for 1S92 sa s that fully l 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 Hampshire 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 One 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 dauc3 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 token 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 and Upqrnivik llammerfest 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 locality its people or its visitor is so raro 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 Nor even Heaven itself is sacred to ths advertiser and tho 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 tho 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 ill the same fashion The heavens will soon be tcllng besides their own story one of certain peoples soap or liver pills or porous plasters To what extent this new branch of advertising euterorise will interfere with the science of astronomy can onlv be left to the imagination Caitaix C W Adams of West Addison Vt has raised quite a large portion of the timbers of the flagship Congress of General Benedict Arnolds fleet which was sunk in Lake Champlaiu in October 177G The timbers of which there are about thirty feet

dentists have been heavily fined by justices in Prussia and 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 Speaking of dentists it is worth noting that the three dentists of Berlin Dresden and Leipsic who have the largest and 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 and Jenkins are court dentists Pkokessuu L F Blake of the Univer sity of Kansas in an article on Safety from Electricity in the Electrical AVoild says For buildings iu cities except churches and other high struc tures rods
