It is the influx of the British that

Lack of Docking Facilities.
Tee traffic of the port of Havre,
which amounted to 5,400,-000, tons in
1913, was less than half that of Rotter-
dam and only a little more than a third
of that of Antwerp. The reasons for
it were largely lack of docking facili-
ties and the limited railroad commun1.
cations with Paris and the -centre of
France. Even before the war, ships
were sometimes held up in the roads
waiting their turn to dock, and anew
basin called the "Tidal Basin" was
planned and partly finished with the
view to relieving congestion.
The congestion of traffic now is not
Only a hindrance to cammerce, but a

BURRY PICKER* CAUSE FIRES.
Carelessness Results in Destruction
of Forest Reseurcee.
Many causes are reeponsible for
Canada's heavy forest fire. losee
Some of the erstwhile greateskoffend-
ers have eozne to realize th dstruc-
tion which thir negligence was MPS-
ing and have adopted systematic eneae
sures to overcome the loss.
Several anuses of forest fires have
not, however, received sufficient at-
tention. Dr. C. D. Howe, in Forest
Protection in Canada,1913-1914,
states that in the settledareas, one of
the chief classes of persons resImn
sible for fires are berry -pickers.
Smouldering camp fires, or sparks
caused by smoking, fan into dry grass
or brush, starting small fires; fanned
by a high wind the fires rapidly be-
come uncontrollable, spreading from
the berry patches to the larger timber.
With the berry season at hand, it
should surely be necessary only to
draw the attention of berry -pickers
to the destruction which their care-
lessness or indifference is causing toZs
secure an immediate reduction in e
number of forest fires for which they
are directly or indirectly responsible.

COST OI VOUS,
Canada Pays Dearly for Indifferenc
and Careleasneee.
The Donabeion Superintendent of
Insuranee haa issued an abstract re-
ef fire ineurance basinese in
Canada for 1915. The report gives
an interesting insight into What Can-
ada Is paying as the priee of her in-
difference and carelessness with fire
In 1915 Canada had an approximate
fire loss of $15,500,000, Fire insur-
ance companies paid oat for fire losses
$14,080,298, or approdmately $1,500,-
000 less than the fire loss. The own-
ers of destroyed property consequent-
ly had to bear the latter loss.
Dept. of Agriculture have shown that
the fly larvae in manure and other re-
fuse may be killed by treatment with
borax, one pound of borax being suf-
ficient to treat 1,6 cu. ft., or very
nearly 13 bushels of manure. If used
in larger quantities, the borax may
prove injurious to plants. The borax
should be sifted over the manure'
particularly near the edges of the
pile, which should then be sprinkled
with four gallons of water. • This
taeatment wil kill 98 to 99 per cent
of all .tlie larvae in the manure. At
1.1 cents per pound for borax, it is
estimated that the cost would be 2
cents per horse per clay. This cost
could be very greatly reduced by em-
ploying calcined colemanite instead of
Borax, if the former were imported
in large quantities. One pound of
colemanite will treat 11 bushels of
manure and its larvicidal action is as
effective as that of borax.

Fire insurance companies collected
from the people in premiums $26,580,-
298, which, added to the margin of
$1,500,000, gives an approximate total
of $28,000,000. This latter figure re-
presents only the actual cash outlay
as represented by insurance protec-
tion, and value of property consumed
in excess of insurance. To this must
be added the loss in disruption of
business, damage through hasty re-
moval of property, the expense of up-
keep of fire departmente, extra water -
supply, privet fire protection, etc.
That ranch the greater portion of
this loss nmy be avoided is shown by ,
a report of the fire chief of Vancou-
ver, B. C., for March, covering the
causes Of fires in the eases of the 86 1
alarms responded to by the fire de-
partment in. that city, as follows:

one sees in the Rue de Paris, the prise

window of a saloon. A little further

"Britisb. Soldiers' Club" ; another sign
post directs men to the "British Offi-
cers' Club," while there are tearooms
.rtverywhere and restaurants that con-

British transports have the right of
why over all other ships in the harbor
and at the docks and the British pre-
vail everywhere on shore. Some
people at Havre have inquired whether
the British occupation is going to last
forever, an inquiry inspired by the
eeemingly permanent character of the
installations for the different services
of the 13ritish army and for the British
troops. Most people at Havre will be
glad if it does, because they are get-
ting rich—all except the fishermen.
The herring catch has diminished 59
per cent., while all the other commerce
of Havre has doubled.

military rule, despite the occupation

"Tommy Atkins" must submit to his
authority. He must quit the saloon at
9 o'clock and must not be found in a
restaurant after 10. Patrols look for
him through all the narrow ways and
*ri ways and in the corners of the
Jocks sod pick him up sharply if
found after hours where he should
aot be.

The only way to exterminate the fly
is to attack it in the larval or mag-
got form. Flies lay their eggs in
manure or garbage; ten days from
•the time of hatching the maggots
merge as winged insects, fully equip-

bacteria. But a city with elean back-

be a flyless city, for it would have
