BIG FIRE LOSSES.
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

of ths eqtmtry. This arrangement will

and the two natives with him fled.' The

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." '
"Ws have Just sent in a bill for flit
to a hostess who gave a dinner party,"
said the- manager -of sr west- end firm -of
florists to aa Express . representative,!
recently. '
"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,'

"Why should not hostesses Invest la

charitable school of artificial flower-
makers asked.
"We can produce most perfect spec!
mens of the Caroline Testout rose, for
which florists are charging ts td, at td
each, .. .
"It is Impossible to detect these artl
flcial flowers unless they are handled.
especially tr arranged with real foliage.
We scent ths blossoms with ross per-
rume.
"We decorated a dinner-table recently
with mignonette and yellow roses, with
trails of real smllax. and maidenhair
fern. "Ths hostess waa asked how shs
had obtained mignonette so early in the
year. The flowers cost lis, and eaa be
used on many occasions." k
