SOME FiRES.
The average annual loss by fire in the
last live years haa been $251,000,000,
according to the lateat circular issued
by the National Board of Fire Under
writers. That is a sum large enough
to pay the annual interest upon the
the public debt of the United States,
England, Spain, Mexico and the Nether
lands.
It might almost be said that we build
only to burn. Our loaaes by fire in 1908
amounted to $2.72 per capita, as against
an average of about 33 centa for France,
Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria,
