Millions of Dollars Oo Up in Smoke Every Year. ; - During the past five years the annual fire loss In the United States has been tMO per capita as compared with It cents per capita in the larger European net 10 ysais the total fire losses in the United States amounted to 11.2(0,000.000. The Insur ance companies paid out during this period S7,000,000 and it Is reasonable to assume that the premiums paid by the people of the country fiurlng the same length of time - for protection against fire exceeded these figures. The old proverb about the relative'' value of aa ounce of prevention and a pound of euro would seem to have some appli cation to the situation. The amount of money spent by the people, individually and collectively, In rearing temporary structures of doubt ful value Is also colosssl. The govern ment is now expending 120,000.000, and the country $1,000,000,400 yearly - In building and construction work. ' Judged by ths lessons of the last decade, much ef this 'sunt will 'go up In smoke or collapse in indistinguishable ruins be fore all of us are dead. ' It la clear, therefore, to every think ing man excepting only that miserable portion of humanity whom we may call the real estate pirates 'that - two things are needed. They are (1) re vision of the building laws and (t) ao eurate knowledge concerning the strength, flre-reslstance and other prop erties or building materials. . The United States geological survey has made certain tests of structural materials, especially cement and con crete, during the laet few years. Its work In this direction might be greatly enlarged with untold benefit to the na tion. It Is estimated that investiga tions such as it proposes to make would lessen the " quantity . and Improve- the quality 'of materials-used and 'cause a saving of fully I per cent of the total expenditure. This would amount to a saving of $1,000,000 yearly in the work of the government alone, and certainly many millions . of dollars annually in work by the states, cities, and ' people cf the country. Indirectly the knowl edge obtained from such Investigations would save, many more millions by di minishes ths cost of insurance and preventing much of the terrible loss of life and property front fire. It is proposed that these investiga tions be conducted by members of the geological survey, but'' under a board on which are representatives of the nsvy department, the war department Isth mian 'canal .commission and corps of engineers), the treasury department f sn pervlslng architect) and -theratfont engineering and architectural societies of ths eqtmtry.

Enormous Sums Spent for Food In London Society. . V , From the London Express. - There seems to be no falling off ta the practice of spending enormous sums In privets society entertainments. The manager of one of the largest catering houses has remarkable extrava gances to cite. ' Th cost of ball anA at-home cup pers varies aocordlng to the season of the year," a representative of . the firm said. "A leader of society gave a small din- I ner psrty last wluter which cost her tt guineas per head, exclusive or wine. "Tonng green peaa were valued at Ta td a spoonful, and asparagus at ts a stick. Peach-fed Virginia hams, with brandy and champagne sauce, coat half a guinea a plate. New potatoes were Is each. The strawberries and peaches worked Out at t guineas per head."

' "That sum represents only the floral decorations, which conalated of pale pink roses and lilies of the valley.- The roses cost ts td tor each bloom, and they wers used not only en the table but for massed effects on. the staircase and rooms." . . One evening's musical program may cost anything from ilOO to 1100. . , "Many hostesses pay a first-class artist from 100 to 100 guineas.", said ths representative of a well-known agenay. "The services of other performers must also be engaged, so you can readily see that musio is a very expensive Item.'1' It Is suggssted that entertainments can be made considerably cheaper, and yet be seemingly extravagant. r For Instance, a talking-machine eaa be hired for I guineas a . night, and concealed, in a bank" of irwMry. one of the guests would suspect Its presence until from a bower of roses Pattl's voice suddenly rang out In "Vol cbe sapete,' or- Melba trilled the vales aria from "Romeo and Juliet," or Caruso pealed out in 'xn queua pira.
