Waste by Fire, If Mr. Clifford Thompson, who writc in the current number of the Forum, to be believed, the direet loss by fire in this country is more than $100,000,000 an nually, while the whole waste amounts to three times that sum. In 1876, the total number of fires was 9,301, and in 1885, 14,114, While from 8 to 90 per cent of all fires that occur arise from prevent- able causes, from 83 to 50 per cent are of incendiary origin, *“The defective flues, to use his language, “the badly constru ted furnaces, the accumulation of waste material, the eaveless tossing about of matches, half-burned cigars and cigaret tes, and the packing in smail compass of goods liable to spoutancous combustion, together with the dangers avising from steam hoilers, electrie lights, illuminating gas, kerosene oil, and explosives of many kinds, combine to make the ordinar place of busmess in large eities full of peril to the property contained thercin, not to the lives of the oc- cupants.”” At a yccent convention of five engincers held at Providence, R. L., Mr. Osborn Howes, jr.. se avy of the Boston Board of Fire Underwriters, ex- plained the method adopted by that board to lessea the dangers from five, One year ago the central part of the city was divided into sections, ench of which was under the charge of an inspeetor, who visited manufacturing and merean- tile establishments and reported their condition, If defects were discovered, the owner or oceupier was asked to rem- edy them; and if he refused, his rate of premium. was raised 50 per cent. The result was that within the year 1,000 buildings were put i better and safer condition. During that time there was also a marked diminution in the number of fires in those district Here in Omaha, notwithstanding our fire and building ordingnees, hundreds of buildings are erected every year which are mere fire traps. Bri walls are the Dest preventiyes of conflagration by con- tact from neighboring buildings, but they are of little use when used as covers for a forest of scantlings and board parti- tions inside. As soon ns our peonle learn from experience that in buildings as in so many other things the best is the cheapest, and that five proof blocks soon pay for themselyes in decreased insur- ance and the increased rents which the, bring to their owners, we shall see few: vencered five traps and inflammable shells erected in our business streets and in the best residence portion of the city. are will next railronas betray search The Korestry Congresn The annual sessions of the Forestry Congress--the sixth of which convenes at Denver this week-—merit more attention than is usually accorded them. ‘Fhis is 1s0 the results they seek to accomplish are not so well understood as they should be, while progress toward their attainment has seemed to be ex- tremely slow when their great import- ance is considered. The blame for popu- lar apathy and slow advancement can- not, however, bo charged to the congress. It appears to have done all that was pos- sible to educate the public to a full com- prehension of the forestry question, and to enlist the interest and support of con- gress and the legislatures of the states in behalf of measures for restoring the for- ests of which o lnrge area of the country has heen denuded, and for preserving those that remain from wholesale de- steuction. But when congress, as at tl last session, appropriates to the forestry division of the icultural department only $10,000, while it gives $13,000 to botany and pomology, ¥37,000 to silk worms and other insects, $25,000 to ex- perunental gardens, and more than $100, 000 each to sorghum and seeds, the effect is mot only discouraging to those who are devoting their time and effort and monoy to the task of educating pub- lie sentiment andinducing general action in this matter, but detracts from the cha acter and merits of the task congress have been vory far from fruitless, however. 1t has disseminated a great deal of accurate knowledgoe on this subject, has awakened u wide-spread recognition of its import ance, and while the interest is not so gen- eral and earnest as could be wished, it is still very much greater and stronger than would have been possible wit hout the at- tention called to it and tho work per- formed by this congress. From the study und investigation of this subjeet which it bas evoked, a great adlition has been made to what is recognized as scientific truth coneerning the influence of forests upon climate, the retention of moisture and tho maintenance of equably flowing stroams. Incorrect theories have been oliminated, and faets have been carefully domonstrated, so that there may be saul to have been doveloped during the past fow yoars almost s new knowledge regarding the climatic and other influ ences of forests.

Speaking at the opening of the New England fair at Bangor last week, Dr, Loring presented an array of statis- ties showing that agriculture in that gection is in admirable condition, and his generalizations were of the most pneonr aging character. The figaves gave ovi- dence that tl 52 farms of New Eng- land are yiclding a good return to those who eultivate them, while the business of farming there nas been brought to an almost perfect system consistent with the conditions and requirements of the country. ‘“The New England farmer,” Loving, “has learned t market for his corn is essentially injured by the cheaper erops and casy transpor- tation of the west, and he rawses it subsidiary only to his other and for home consumption, The same is true of his wheat and oats, He s learned that a well managed dairy will pay;that his cows will make a fair return by the sale of milk for immediate use in the market; he has learned the value of anacre of Iand devoted to market gardening; he finds his orchards o profit able attachment to s farm when prop- erly located and wisely selected; he has ascertained that his huy not only consti- thtes the foundation ot his farming, but that it also finds a ready market not far from his door. He confines himself therefore to these crops and leaves the production of beef, pork, corn and wheat to cheaper land and more propitious skies. The decadence of New England farming therefore means that the furmers of these six states have learned their business and understand what land to occupy and what crops to cultivate and whut to ndon und avoid.” It was an exceedingly entertaining picture that Dr. Loving p ited of the thrift and comfort to be seen on every hand—a picture of “‘well-tilled ficids, well-ordered buildings, well-arranged fonees and well-to-do people” which is in most huppy contrast to that drawn by some who it would seem misrepresent the farmers of New England as a sadly oy od, illrequited elass, doomed to hard and unprofitable toil in the present, and without hope in the future Undaonbtedly there a: many farmers in New England whose toil brings them in- adequate reward and whose situation and prospects are hard and gloomy, but such are to be found in the most fuvored loealities, and quite generally the trounle will be found in themselves rather than in their surroundings. Failure in this as in all other departments of human activity 1s more often due to lack of capacity and fitness in the individuat than to adverse circumstances or want of opportunities. In New England, as elsewhere, the farmer who brings to his work intelligence, sound judgment and business tact, ravely finds the conditions 50 unfavorable to him that he cannot make his labor yield him a fair reward as n erops Tur railregue democratic or frankly admits that it is strongly in favor of Church Howe's nomination in the First distriet because under such circum stances the democracy will have a walk way.
