Some Thing's You Want to Know Loss by Fire t Miller, Stewart (St IBeatoo t t Th Anwiicin people are upending an av- r of l.nno.0!0,1i0 a year to construct iw building. The annual Iops by fir ind espense of fire protection amounts' to iTAVW.ono. In other words, we lope by fire i tio years as much as we ttaln by new onjrtructlon In one year. This enormous iss Is shown by statistics gathered by lovwmment scents and relates exclusively .o buI'dinKs and their contents. If the for sf fire were lrn-luded the total lo.'S would e very much greater. The actual amount of property destroyed Ijy fire In a year when there waa no (treat vmflaf ration was over $215.0iO.00f). This rep- vsenis a lotai ami actum loss charged t.mlnst the resources of the c'ountry, for lot one cent or tnat sum can be saved, it a total loss and economic experts call H aste." Tne money paid to ownert of -ined buildings by Insurance companies doe not restore a penny of the value rf the property "destroyed It merely d!M-i!-atea the loss among all persons who pi" premiums on fir? Insurance policies. Tr this huge sum. which would be fully 2S.0f0.0nf) if all fires were reported, must be added as a part of the annuul loss by fire the expense of fire protection. Prop erty owners pay to the Insurance companies r.nua'.ly $1.V).0f.W0 over and above the total amount paid back to the people l.i settle ment of losses. This sum Is forever loFt to the prop rty owners. The maintenance if fire departments in American cities coats a total of fSO.oOO.QbO a year, ami. ac cording to the t'nited Staites geological siurvey, the annual cost of water works equipment chargeable to the account of fire protection add over !:.0OO0W. In addition to theae public expend It ui es, most lntfust- ai brants maintain private fire fighting ap paratus, factories are equipped with auto matic sprinklers and the like, making an annual charge of over 118.000.000. Thua It Is shown that In the United States t2DO.000.000 goea up every year In smoke, while another $250. 000.000 la spent to prevent the flames taking even larger toll of our property. That the money apent for fire protection Is weil Invested Is proved by the fact that cities suffer oomparatlvf ly less from fire than do rural communities. At the same time the money spent In this manner represents an economic loss to the property owners and taapayera who must foot the bills. Taking Into account only the actual loss of property consumed by fire. It appears hat tbe annual fire wast amounts to 12.51 less construction. In one yar the fire oss In frame buildings waa more than ImOfAOOO, as compared to $-1.W.000 on buildings of brick, stone, etc. The number of frame buildings burned was 130.000. aa compared with 36.ono buildings of other material The greatest single property owner and but der In the country Is the I'nited States government. The federal government Is the owner of buildings costing more than VTOr.OlO.O)). and It la putting up new build ings to the cost of tJO.OOO.Ono annually. The government carries no Insurance on Its buildings, preferring to assume Ita own risks. That thla Is a wise policy Is Indi cated by the fact that If the buildings were Insured. It would cost $CO4,0uu a year In makes wood the chief building material. The greater number of the buildings are erected where there Is neither supervision nor machinery to enforce the regulations If they existed. And house are not built to last forever. A farmer builds a barn with the definite Idea of "making It do until I get enough money to put up a big barn." An artisan builds a cottage which at no time la sufficiently opaque to ob s lire the vision of the better house to be built on the ruins of this one In a few years. The merchant looks forward to a progress from smaller to larger buildings as a matter of course. And the man who builds to rent does It as quickly and as cheaply as pcsMble. In this phase of Amer ican life Is to be found one grain of com fort with respect to losses by fire many of premiums. The loss by fire has amounted t the buildings burned would soon be raaed to less than JlO.OfO a year for a quarter anyhow to make room for others. of n crntury. :n tu.k apparent Immunity of . buildings from fire la quite in- buildings are constructed with Statistics show that rural communities, on account of poor construction and no fire protection, suffer most from fire loss. That portion of the country where timber Is a view lu making them fireproof, and the ! abundant suffers more than the sections vast majority of them are surrounded by 1 open spaces, liwulatlng them from ignition from nearby buildings. But the government Is not. satisfied, and to this end the geo logical survey maintains a laboratory for the purpose of testing building materials. Its Investigations Include all eorta of con struction material, and the tests are very severe. For Instance, a material, atone. where the timber la exhausted, or where there never was much wood. Small cltlea suffer more In comparison than do large cities. largely on account of the greater use of wood for construction and the more lenient building laws. The southern states lose more than any other geographical sec lion, largely because the climate doea not compel adequate arrangements for heating. concrete, tile or the like, will be subjected ! The open fireplace do their deadly work. fcr to ordinary fire temperature, about LOO) Fahrenheit, and, in another test, to con flagration temperature of 1,700 degrees. The lwated material Is drenched with water and Its behavior then observed. Tests are made to observe how rapidly temperature Is transmitted from one side of a wall to another, the Investigations comprising wall of varying thickness and material. By mesns of these tests the supervising archi tect of the treasury. Uncle Sam's master builder, determines the f ireprooflng quali ties of various materials and selects the best for use in new government buildings. Engineers make a special study of plan ning buildings to prevent the rapid spread of fire. Bfforts are being made to secure the enactment of stricter building codes. The use of wood for building purposes Is prohibited In certain areas In nearly all cities, and the tendency is to Increase theae 'fire districts," aa they are usually called. But In the smaller towns and villages, and in the rural communities, wood la atlll the most used building material, and there are each man. woman and child In the I few, if any, legal means to regulate oon- country. The annual per capita loss by fir In the six principal countries of Europe la only 30 cents. American fir fighting apparatus is the best in the world, American firemen are quicker than any others, and as brave aa the bravest. Yet the tax on the resources of the nation by fire loaa Is eight limes as great in the United States as In Europe. The reason for this alarming discrepancy Is to be found not In the people, but In thu buildings. In Europe, buildings are constructed largely of fire-proof materials, and under the strict supervision of officers who compel the builder to take every possi ble precaution against fire. In America, the majority of the buildings are con structed of wood, and even those built of brick, stone and iron prove often to b fire-traps because of improper and care- strirctlon. One-half of all the fires In the country are traced directly to fault of con struction, and a large proportion of the "causes unknown" responsible for another quarter of the fires also may be aafely charged to the same account. Defective flues and chimneys had the list of fire causes, followed by faulty fireplaces, heat ing and lighting apparatus and the like. In Europe, an old country where things are more or less finished, the use of wood Is pr a blted both by "aw and by the ex pense. Every building must be erected under the eye of an officer who will en force certain rules and regulations evolved from the actual experience of centuries. There a house la built to last forever, and great pains la taken with It In the begin ning. .In America tha.abundance f compara tively cheap and easily worked timber The insurance companies collect In on ;-ear $150,000,000 more In premiums than they pay back for losses, yet they claim that thty do not make money. The expense of administration Is heavy. And then a con flagration like that of San Francisco will wipe out a surplus of years. The National Uoerd of Klre Underwriters asserts that the San Francisco earthquake wiped out every dollar of profits from underwriting the companies had made since I860, and $75,000,000 more. But of course the com panies had mud money by the use of the capital paid Into their coffers by policy holders, and they do not depend altogether on underwriting profits. It Is not possible to stop all losses bv fire, but It Is possible gieatly to curtail the enormous drain upon American re sources entailed by fires which have their origin In carelessness.- Building codes should be supplied and enforced, even In rural districts, and wherever possible near construction should be fireproof. A waste of $25,000,000 and a loss of twice that much every year by fire Is too much for even rich America to pay. And then there Is the great loss of life due to bad construction it Is not necessary to repeat the tragic talea of the Iroquois theater, th Boyer town moving picture show and the Col llnwood school. The enormity of the loss by fire was thus forcibly Illustrated by Charles Whiting Baker, editor of the Engineering News: "The buildings consumed by fir In on year, If placed on lots rf sixty-five feet frontage, would line both sides of a street extending from New York to Chicago. A person Journeying along this street of deso lation would pass in every 1,000 feet a ruin from which an Injured person was taken. At every three-quarters of a mile in this Journey he would encounter th charred re mains of a human being who had been burned to death."

Austrian aval Base. Admiral Montecuccoll of the Austrian navy, with his staff of experts, has com pleted ths plans for the new naval base at Sebenleo, on the Dalmatian coast. The scheme for the utilization of Seben lco as a naval base Is understood to be en tirely due to Admiral Montecuccoll, who Is keenly Interested in the proposal and is desirous of seeing his plans given effect before he relinquishes his command of the Austro-Hungarlan navy. Already a com plete wireless telegraphic station hus been Installed at Sebenico and ths training squadron has been stationed there. Aastrlaa Army Corps. The Austrian military maneuvers will take place this year In Oallcla, In the neighborhood of the Russian frontier. It la seven years since this region wss chosen as the scene.

Mayer Karl Lueger. who died recently, could have given a Tammany boss valuable points on practical politics. He undoubt edly had the strong-eel personal following than any commoner In Austria. During recent years tbe mayor's appear ance in the streets had constantly been hailed by the singing of an anthem begin ning, "Hail, Lueger; long may lie live." Streets and squares were named after him and his drives through Vienna resembled a royal progress. He was the Idol and the hero uf thv Viennese. FRENCH DEPUTTeSON A TEAR Iproar la Started nnd la Only Stopped by Serpentina the Slt tlns. PARIS, April 2. SpecisI to the Pub lishers Press.) The French budget was passd In the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday morning by 446 votes to (7. A series of violent and unexpected Incidents then occurred. The house having decided to devote the whole of Thursday, and the next day, to the discussion of the school laws, many deputies uttered violent pro tests, beating on their desks and creating a great uproar. One of the members smashed the lid of his desk and used the pieces as drum sticka Another deputy endeavored to snatch them away, and a scuffle ensued, blows and Insults being freely exchanged. The president put on his hat and suspended the sitting. Constitution for Moneoasquci Small Handful of Taxless Natives De mand Rights of Proletariat. MONTE CARLO, April 2.-(SpeciaI to tbe Publishers' Press.) The little principality of Monaco, famous for Its gambling. Is de mandlng a constitution and probably will receive it. The principality has a popui tion of about 19.000, but only about 1,200 of these are Monegasques, the rest being chiefly French and Italian. The "revolutionary" movement Is con fined to these 1,200 natives, and It Is comic rather than alarming to hear these privil eged Inhabitants of a land without taxes exclaim in traditional fashion: "We de mand the rights of the proletariat!' "Down with autocracy!" "Monaco Is the only country In the world," one of the constitutional leaders urges, "where an absolute autocracy still exists. We have no rights, we are at the mercy of the will of a single man, the csar of Monaco." The privileged state of the discontented Monegasques Is, of course, due to the "So ciete des Balnes de Mer," which pays $170,000 a year for exploiting the casino. There are thus no taxes In Monaco and no national debt.

Xe Passion Play for Them. Circumstantial reports have recently been published to the effect that ths king and queen would visit Oberammergau this sum mer In order to witness the prodfuctioa of the Passion Play. There Is, however, au thority for stating that these reports are entirely Incorrect, and that their majesties' plans for several months to come are- now so complete that It would be Impossible to arrange such a visit, even If It were desired. As a matter of fact, neither the king nor the queen contemplates a visit to Germany during the present year. The only occasion upon which the queen will be away beyond the visit she proposes to pay this month to the Mediterranean will be when she goes to Norway and Den mark In the autumn.

LONDON, April 2. tSpeclal to the Pub Ushers' Press.) It Is now definitely settled that the crown prince and princess of Germany shall pay a visit to this country In May, next. Following the precedent of the recent visit of Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia, It Is understood that their imperial highnesses will be the gu-ts of the king and queen at liucklngl.am palace for about a week, and at the end of that time will take up their residence at one cf the quieter west-end hotels for another fortnight or so.

After taking shares in a lottery ticket with some of his fellow shop assistants, M. Bompard had a "pre sentiment," and, following the common superstition that a ticket purchased for oneself by another person Is lucky, got a friend to buy him another ticket. As he was about to leave his little suburban house the other morning to walk to the railway station, as he had dane dally for the last eighteen years, the list of lottery winners arrived. He opened It and found hlrrself the winner of $100,000. T. t morn ing M. Bompard ran to the railway station, and, arriving at the shop, promptly handed In his resignation at the handkerchief counter. Since then he has disappeared, In order, as It Is believed, to escape the shower of congratulatory and begging let ters, which descend upon the drawers of the big lottery prizes. M. Bompard is married and has a little boy of 8. Votii Woman Spy. A young German woman, named Marietta Lerond, has been arrested at Nancy on a charge of espionage. As she made fre- I quent trips across the frontier, the French Secret Service police set a watch upon her movements. It was found that she made the acquaint ance of young soldiers of the Nancy garri son, evincing a special regard for those belonging to the machine gun section. She offered a sum of money to a soldier named Kerrof to procure her a diagram of the breech blocks of the machine guns. The latter professed a willingness to comply with her request, but was careful, however, to inform the military authorities. A dummy diagram was prepared, and at the moment she received It from the hands of Kerkoff the police Intervened and arrested her. Nancy is a veritable nest of German spies and, arising out of the capture of Marltte Lerond, other arrests may be expected.
