CAUSES OF FIRES.
v‘F‘Ire causes In bi cities was the
subject of an important report submit-
ted today to the thirtieth annual con-
yentlon of the National Electric Light
Association: now in Session here. lri
New York city the report showed that
among illnmlnants, in the past, five
years, candles were msponsiblo for
1,629 fires, gas for 2,589, lamps for 976
and electricity for 457. Carefully kept
records attribute to escaping gas, gas
lights, gas stove and radiators 2,589
flr'es In New York In five years, oil
lamps, kerosene and alcohol 976 fires
and careless use of matches 3,907. The
figures for Boston show that out of a
total of 3,069 fires electricity caused
80, gas and kerosene 284, matches 340.
Chicago’s record of fires numbering
3,697, attributes 636 to careless use of
mantles. 201 to defective titles, 232
to gasoline, 166 to oil lamps and stoves,
_ 189 to spontaneous combustion, and 63
‘ \ ' to electricity.’ Out of 1.165 alarms on
the records of the fire department of
Ins Angeles, 39,were due to crossed
wires and 137 to gas or gasoline. Bal-
timore makes the best showing of all
for the safety of electricity, there be-
ing only 12 tires from electrical caus-
es out of 1.571 alarms. Under the
head of The Life Hazard of Electricity,
. the report gives figures from a number
, of large cities showing 35 electrocu-
, tionsl from accidental causes, 399 accl-
' ehtal deaths from gas, and 89 sui-
~ cides by gas asphyxiation. The re-
port of the Light Association makes a
strong recommendation for systo
mstic and uniform inspection through-
out the country and for action which
will do away with the custom of at-
. ktributlng fires to electricity when the
. . actual cause cannot be ascertained.

. sets forth strikingly the marvelous
growth of that city as a commercial
center. This growth is attributed en-
‘ tirely to the development of the. Iti-
“vor Weser, upon the banks of which,
come 45 miles from the sea, lies the
’7 city of Bremen. So completely was the
River Wesar developed that, although
"nearly a half hundred miles from the
ocean, Bremen today is a seaport
in which the commerce of the world
olibs and flows.
According to the cdnsul's report, the
construction of a harbor at Bremen
Liar ocean going vessels and the regu-
lation and improvement of the river
Were undertaken In 1884. It, required
several years to complete the work.
" but once completed, Consul Fen say
'the enterprise worked a transforma-
tion of the city. The report contin-
as.
- “The increascd ocean trudlc induced
by the splendid new harbor and im-
roved river facilities brought into

Not. only the city of Bremen has under-

the contractors of the Bremen harbor

dry. Ad a. result of the river improve-
ment, the iron foundry has developed
into a gigantic establishment which at
the present time employcs an army
of four thousand men. The sum]!
shipyards have grown in like men-
slure, and vessels of large dimensions
are being built, both for the merchant
marine and for the imperial navy. in
addition, four other great shipyards
have sprung up on the river banks,
closer to the sea.
At t a present time, Consul Fee re
ports t ere are in course of erection
great smelting works, capitalized with
millions of dollars, which will occupy
the right bank of the river. In addi-
tion, many other industries are spring.
ing up on both sides of the stream. am-
ong them being chemicad works, silver
factories, jute mills oil factories, boi-
ler factories, rice mills, starch and
box factories. lineoleum works and a
host of smaller manufacturles.
“III view of the. fact, that tho deepen-
ing of the channel and the regulating
of the upper courses of the Wesor is
now under contemplation" says Consul
F‘ee, "and the building In the near fut-
ure of inland canals in connection
therewith has already been decided up-
on, the possibility for a yet larger in
crease of profitable industry in this
section of the country is auspicious."
This remarkable example of what
waterway development will do for a

tional Rivers and Harbors Congress

gross and the country the necessity for
a liberal policy in the treatment. of the

ed that not less than $50,000.00 It year
