An (Jane of Prercntlon From" the Inter" nnce Companies. Every year millions of dollars vrcrih of the material resources of the country aro j swept away by fire. This loss is :m l-' solute one. It cannot bo replaced or re paired. Tho individual owner does not j feel this if adequately insured, but, never theless, with every lire the country at largo is poorer by tho amount of tho loss. It is nlarnnng to note that in spuo of our continually improving facilities for fighting fire, and tho increasing numbers of fire-proof buildings, tho gross losses throughout tho country grows steadily greater year by year. Below is an ao enrate tabulated "statement of tho coun try's yearly loss by fire, which is not pleasant reading: 1878 Gt,315,000 1SS3. . . . 100,149,000 1879 77,703,000 1884.... 11',0 0,'Oj 18-50 74,013,000 1S35.... 10.',8.80) 1881 81,283,000 1830.... 101,9.4,10.) 1832 84,503.000 Tho record of tho present year, np to November 1st, with two of tho most dan gerous months still to come, is already ahead of that of 1SSG. Our natural resources are so immenso that the country has not yet seriously felt this drain, but it is evident that the timo must como when it will feel it. This is especially true if we tako into consideration the amount of money spent annually in fighting firo. New York's hre department nlono costs more than 1,000.000 annually; its insurance patrol mora iann ;j(iw,wu. It is only natural that tho insurance companies should, at tho present time, feel this loss most severely, and should be continually trying new plans to check it. Their experience has taught them that nearly all fires can bo traced to careless ness in one form or other, that our fire fighting appliances need not much fur ther improvement, and that preventive methods are tho best suited to accomplish thoir purpose. Tho principal insurance companios of tho city, actuated by such considerations, have adopted a plan which is so simple and promises to bo so effective that it deserves to have public attention called to it. They have printed and propose to dis tribute gratuitously through every build ing, if necessary through every room in tho city, a handsomely engraved set of "Eire Cautions." Thoir idea is that if these are posted in conspicuous places in office buildings, factories, tenement housos, and the like, tho practical cau tions they embody will not bo apt to be forgotten. Certainly, if they are remem bered and alwaj's carefully observed, ac cidental fires would bo few and far be tween. The cautions nre given below. It can be seen that they are sensible, practical and intelligible: Don't allow 6toves or heaters on your premises which are not securely set on stone, cemented brick, or metal, and be sure that all woodwork near the stoves or pipes iB carefully protected with metal. Don't allow any loose -jointed ges brackets on your premises which could bo swung against woodwork, or any gas brackets without wire screens or globes, if hay, straw light materials or window curtains are near them. Don't allow any electric lights or wires on your premises which, are not properly protected. V JL If KLMk & Mlliftt THIS ! ! Don't allow steam-pipes to be in con tact with wood or inflammable material. Don't allow an3 kerosene oil lamps to be filled after dark. Filling lamps near a lire is dangerous. Don't forget to keep tho lamps filled and wicks in good order. When tho oil is low it generates gas, which is liable to explode. Don't allow benzine, gasoline, naphtha or explosives in your place. Your insur ance policy prohibits it. Don't allow ashes to be put in a wooden box or barrel in your building. Always have an iron nsh-can. Don't allow any oily waste or rags to bo thrown on the iloor, but only in a metal can. with cover, and have them taken out of tho building every night; they are self-igniting. Don't allow an;- greasy or oily rags or papers to be mixed up with clean clip pings, or a largo amount of clippings to remain in your place (even if clean and in bales) than is absolutely unavoidable. Don't allow sawdust to be used on floors or in spittoons. It causes many fires, ignited by cigar stumps or cigarettes. Don't allow sawdust to bo used for catching oil drippings from machines or elevator gearing. Sand is safe. Don't allow matches to bo kept loose, or in paper boxes, but only in metal or earthen safes. Tlioso lighting only on the box are safest. Don't allow smoking on your premises where combustiblo goods or materials aro used. Don't, fail to have your fire-bnckelB filled, and test hose and firo appliances from timo to time. Don't allow 3-our stairs or hallways to be blocked up or used for storage, or rubbish, hay, straw, etc., to accumulate or remain on your premises. Don't fail to have all elevators or hoist ways provided with good trapdoors or hatches, and have theso shut at night. Don't forget to close your iron shutters at night. Don't forget that neelect and careless ness are tho. cause of moro fires than all other things, and enforce rules to guard against them. Theso cards are alreadv being distribu ted in largo numbers. All the largo in surance companies aro interested in the project, and inclined to expect great things from it. A I ACT TO EE REMEMBERER. Do not be deceived bv misrepre sentation.
