The Canadian Fire Underwriters'
Association met in Toronto this week
and as a result the insurance rates will
go up. This is a result of the great
bass sustained by the companies in con-
nection with Ottawa, Montreal and
other great fires recently., An entirely
new system of rating is to be made.
There will be no fiat rate over a dis-
trict, but each risk will be judged on
its merits, and advances will be made
not, only on all hazardous risks, but on
buildings in the neighborhood of sucb
riske. All towns and cities that come
under the jurisdiction of the Canadiaa
Fire Underwriters' Association will be
rated in this way, and the result, it -is
confidently expected, will be such an
• increase in tbe revenues of the corn-
•pa.nies as will repay them for the losses
they have already suffered. The de-
cisions arrived at will apply directly
to Ontario and Qaebec. °

The first vote in the House of Corn -
moue gave the government a majority
of 9. The vote was the result of Dr.
Sproules, (Conservatives.) motion as
follovirs :-"That, having regard to the
large ireportatioris of sugar into Can-
ada for home consumption, and tha,t,

beet in the Domition is not only
feasible, but that it is being successful-

opinion of this house, in order to stim-
ulate the farmers of Canada to engage
in the growth of this Valuable product,
• and also to encourage the establish-
ment of beet, root sugar factories, a
bounty should be offered for all beet
root sugar manufactured in the Do-
minion during the next ten years.
C,Inirke Wallace insisted that the de-
bate ought nob to be adjourned, but
that the government should he pre-
pared to say whether or not they
agreed to the principle laid :town in

The opposition insisted upon divid-

night. The impression is gaining
grotmd that the Government 'whips
are not altogether at fault, and that
the slim majority was not purely
accidental. One rumor had it that
the French members are not at all
pleased with the trimming and
twisting of the Government on the
indemnity question, and that dis-
satisfaction in that direction had its
influence on the division.

BACILLI ELECTROCUTED.
Tee reccraorcunaes- invention of a Ere: els
Scientist to Purify Woter.
,A French scientist, Dr. Francisque
Crotte, purposes to electrocute the
bacilli in impure water and thus ren-
der it fit for drinking purposes.
The extraordinary feature of this
invention is that Dr. Crate charges
the electric current used with en
autiseptic gas.
Wherever the eleetricty passes the
chemical gas goes, too, doing its
work of cleausteg but leaving be-
llied ;not a single other trace of its

So remarkable appeared the claims
of Dr. Crotte that th'e Patent •Oillee
refused to grant. his application for
a patent until after the most • ex-
haustive inquiries and demonstra-
tions. • How thoroughgoing these
have been is shown. by the fact that
patent has been granted on 'Iwo -
cess" -a thing which the Patent
Ceffice very rarely grants.
Even by this new process the ba-
cilli are not killed easily, for it
tafkes a million volts to put them
hors du combat, while 1,500 ;volts is
the power with which criminals are
electrocuted at Sing Sing.
In using ,the Crotte method of elec-
trically destroying germs the liquid
which ls to be purified is placed in
a vessel, preferably a glass vessel..
Wires are attached to opposite
points of this vessel, but it is wor-
thy of notice that the metal elacls-
de what electricians technically call
"electrodes" -do not come in con-
tact with the liquid.
A perfect stream of sparks is pour-
ed into the liquid when the current
is switched on, but there is no
change in the temperature of the
fluid, the only difference caused by
the electric fluid being the total ex-
tinction of the germs of the disease.
