Co. were burned out from the roof to
the basement last ulghtT remark the

"No!" exclaims the friend who hasn't
seen the miming pajwr. "I suppose
they carried Insurance?
"Oil, yes hundred thousand of It:"
returns the first speaker, at which his
friend settles back with the comment
that everything la all right then.
This la the layman's conclusion al
most Invariably. Soma big concent
burns out, but with insurance to an
amount seerulug to cover the loss the
average mau Is disposed to feel that tt
la aU right. He doesn't stop to thluk
of the enormous risks of a business
which cannot be covered by Insurance
and which for weeks, months or years
after a fire are crippling and perhaps
ruinous to the fire victim.
Tike, for example, a highly organ
ised, factory plant In prosperous times
which has been turning out a vast
specialized product from the hands of
thousands of expert workmen. This
plant, fitted with costly machinery, is
covered by insurance npon its visible,
material assets. Fire sweepa it and
lays everything in hopeless ruin. If
every piece of machinery, every build
ing and all material adjuncts of the
plant have been covered to full value
in such a plant will the reader dare
make a rough guess as to what the
limitations of loss may be?
Only the other day I stepped Into
a bookblndery, unostentatious in its
street signs and occupying a fifth
floor in an obscure street In the ele
vator shaft was that peculiar odor
which marks the track of fire and fire
men days and weeks after such an
accident
"Most of the fire was next door." ex
plained the proprietor, "but I guess
the smoke and the water were about
as bad for us. Sometimes it is almost
better to have the fire yourself than
be next floor to it"
Which teemed to be especially true
of book material. Where smoke and
soot bad failed to blot and ruin the
stock, water from the engines in the
street had flooded it until ruin alone
was descriptive. Everything had been
closed down, workers in the nlant
were Idle, and the proprietor was
awaiting the adjustment of the insur
ance which he bad been carrying. But
in the extent of this Insurance itself
was a knotty situation.
Ordinarily the noose had carried Doi
Kies which would have left It the
minimum of risk on its machinery.
atock and materials. Ordinarily a still
further blanket policy was carried for
the purpose of covering the normal
amount of book material on hand
owned by others and contracted for
rebinding. But only a few days be
fore the fire the house had received a
consignment of $5,000 worth of law
books to be bound. These volumes.
aside from Intrinsic valoe, represented
so much of other value as to make
the risk abnormal for almost any sea
son. And these books were ruined
Before receiving tbera the binder
had asked the owners to take out a
policy for themselves protecting tbcm
against such fire loss. The firm had
not done so. and when the Are dam
age came the disposition of the owners
was to hold the binder ior them under
one of the binder's blanket policies.
Ou this one disputed point, taking it
into court, will some one make a
guess as to what this one feature of
the fire may cost the binder, who to
II purposes was "insured," If It should
be settled l;i the supreme court after
five or seven years, for example?

at a Critical Moment.
Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irisk
agitator, had a contempt for physical
danger. Ou a certain occasion a meet
ing bad been convened, and a Iargs
crowd assembled in a room on the first
floor of a building in a small city in
Ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people when a gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
Liberator, the floor Is giving way!
The beams that shore it up are crack
ing, and we shall fall through in a few
minutes!"
Keep silent," said O'Counell. Then,
raising his voice, be addressed the as
sembly: "I find that the room is too small to
contain the number who desire to
come In, so we must leave it and hold
the meeting outside the building."
At this a few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
"1 will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor Is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once. If there la a panic
and a rush to the door we shall all be
