HIDDEN DANGERS.

FREEDOU from panic in the midst of eircum-
wances calculated to produce fear aulong masses
of men is one of the most distinguishing char-
acteristics of a great nation, and within the past
few days England has exhibited this freedom at
a moment when even panic would have been ex-
cusable. It is not, however, with the especial
ilea of dwel lag upon the doings of the dyne-
mitards that we would cab attention to dangers,
hidden, indeed, but which are always lurking
around us. Enough has been said in description
and in condemnation of the dastardly attempts
, at destruction which have lately been witnessed
and with an expression of thankfulness that the
results were reduced to a minialum this particu-
lar mutter may be dismissed; but any subject
which agitates the popular mind is aleuest cer-
tain to piesent more aspects than are apparent
in the fist eager rush for news concerning it.
And what in this water strikes those who at-
tempt to look under the surface of things is the
eds.! wi h which fanatical or mid desperadoes
can pervert the inventions of modern science to
the most despicable of uses. It is fortunate for
society that the wickedness of the heart which
prompts_ such deeds is not equalled by the
strength of brain of those who plan them, and
the consequence is that most of them are con-
spicuous only for their failure. But encouraging
as this view may be, it should not be altogether
put out of memory, that we cannot always reckon
upon the abs,nce of skill which has lately been
seen, and that sonie dsy disaster may conic upon
many innocent peop!e, when most unconscious
of harm owiug to nischinstion which cannot be
foretold. It is only, however, in such a particular
as this, it is in many other respects that we have
to contemplate the presence of hidden dangers
which at any moment may effect an infinituse of
herm. Those who are possessed of good mem-
ories will not have to cudgel their brains to any
great extent to be reminded of many circum-
stances which will beer riut this statement. To
say nothing of casualties at sea, which may al-
most be placed among those things which in the
aggregwe are foreseen, or even ot railway acci-
dents, which, regrettable as they necessarily are,
form also a department of disaster which has to
be rezkoned upon—how many cases occur an-
nually in which it is impossible to guard? Such
cases will come to every recollection; there is
scarcely a household which could not tell some
tale concerning them ; and it is with a sigh that
their practical unavoidableness is recognised.
And yet, when we come seriously to think of
than all, the sigh changes to an expression of
relief at the reflection of how wended ally smaq
is the total of such casualties compared with the
enormous mass of human life. We in England,
for instance, dwell in the midst of a highly com-
plex civilisation, which apparently entails much
additional danger upon us. In the days before
wood fires gave place to those of coal, colliery
disasters with their hecatombs of victims were
unknown; there could he no appalling railway
accidents previous to the mechanical application
of steam, no shipwrecks with hundreds of vic-
tims before the age of huge passenger vessels.
But, as against these, our improved sanitary
sys'ena and our added medical skill count for
much; diseases, which in times past killed their
houAands where all the just-named casualties
now kill their tens, have disappeared from among
us never to return, and the average of human
life has lengthened, the average of human
strength has increased. There is, therefore, very
emphatically, two sides to this question, and al-
bough when any more thin usually appalling
itestrophe occurs, we may be tempted to think
our days are evil, it is as well to remember the
many dangers our modern times have escaped.
