Basing his estimate partly on tlje official list kept at Kiev the correspondent places the Russian killed or wounded in the summer offensive at three-quarters of a million men. Found Charred Logs 2 Feet Under Ground A'ditclier working in the tam- arac swamp for Aug. Otremba reports that he found a iaj'er of charred trees under two feet of bogf and peat. This goes to show that the swarr.p was once dry and that a fire destroyed a heavy layer of windfalls. How long ago this happened is hard to say, but layers of grass and dust do not build up rapidly, and to form a two-foot layer over these charred logs probably took no less than 500 years.

During the summer vacation period, many schools are closed and not looked after again until just before the term begins in the fall, says Robert W. Hargadine, State Fire Marshal. Have an inspection made of the basements, closets, attics, and out-of-the-way corners in each school building. See that the chimneys are cleaned so as to reduce the danger of fire from soot, and above all, get rid of all rubbish in and about the school buildings before the children return. In this manner many school buildings will be made safe for the children and instructor, and incidently will save the community possibly hundreds of dollars. Last year there were 29 school houses burned in Minnesota with an aggregate loss of $183,528. Undoubtedly much of this loss was due to neglect or carelessness.
