HoRRoRs follow horrors in such quick
succession that one breads to read the
latest news. Murders are rather on the
increase than on the decrease, but they
are losing their relative importance.
The last calamity was the explosion of a
Nova Scotia coal mine, with from forty
to one hundred GOLFERS down in the shaft,
every one Of whom must have been
killed. The mine in which the explosion
occurred, the Drummond, was owned at
Montreal. and had not been operated for
several days, owing to Il strike 1t is
supposed that during the suspension of
work, gas accumulated to such an extent
that the light and heat incident to a re-
sumption Of work ignited it, Is there no
way to prevent these coal mine disas ers ?
They are distressingly frequent Sell
ence, Legislation and the judiciary should
combine. The first should devise means
for rendering life in colIiery more Sc
cure; the second should enact rigid laws
compelling the proprietoIs aud managers
OF mines to use them, and the courts
should see that all such laws are re-
spected

where there are no such posts it is hoped that
