Ca>ualties of Land Travel.

NJ. Gartiaux has published some curl
GUS statistics on the dangers of travelling
by land. He says that in the old dill
gence days man had one chance OF be-
ing killed in 100000 trips, and one
chance of being injured in 10000, On
the railway, between 1886 and 1866,
there was one chance of being killed in
100000 journeys, and one chance of
being injured in 100000. From 1855 to
1875 one chance of being killed in max
ing 100000 journeys, and one chance
of being injured in 100000. Now the
chances of being killed are as one to
45, 600, 900, and of being injured one to
1000, 900. Consequently, a person
travelling ten hours day at the rate Of
forty miles an hour would, in the first
period, have had chance of escaping
destruction during 921 years; during
the second period during LOLA years,
and between 1872 and 1875 during 7, 439
yeape.

Juvenile Jack Sheppards.

At Hawick, England, recently, VIII
liam Laidlaw Emers Hemsley, aged six
teen years, and John Turnbull, aged
fourteen years, had been detected in the
act of shophfting, and were appre-
hended.. After their apprehension,
Superintendent Morrison searched the
house in TiviOt crescent, where Hens
ley lives with his father. In the closet
in the house he found large quantity
of various articles, supposed to have
been stolen. Two MSS. were found, in
which the young culprits had made most
business-like records of their transac-
tions. One of the books il a sort CT
journal. 1t hal been only few days in
use, and on the title page is written, in
clear, bold hand, "W. L. Emers and
John Turnbull' s secret and memorandum
book. Tuesday, Jan. l. 1873. United
Order of Outlaws" 1t is understood
that the entries are all in Hemsley's
handwriting. The first page is headed.
"What [ have stolen in money" The
first theft recorded is one of one penny
"from mother" There are trifing
sums entered as taken from neighbors,
obtained by altering the figures in a
shopkeeper's pass book, and abstracted
from the till of an Office where he was
formerly employed. Another page has
the heading Chow many locks 1 have
stolen" and then follows a list of the
places where they were taken from,
such as stables, garden and field gates,
with the owners names when they we're
known, and in other cases the locality
where the theft was committed is min
utely described. Next comes, "What I
have stolen out of shops" which list in
cludes, besides many of the articles re-
covered, tins of beef, jars of jam, shop
weights, twenty eight keys from one
ironmonger's shop, etc, etc. Under
the heading "What L have stolen from
persons and places" there is list of a
number of places, including factories,
schools, and the theatre, whera thefts
had been committed. The booty in
cludes half barrel of ale from hotel
door. The MSS. volume also contains
sketches Of plans and operations for the
future. Lists of "What I have to
steal, What have to buy and make, "
including varietyof articles, useful and
ornamental, from steam engine and
boiler to musical-box. And then there
is memorandum of "What I have to
write for" This includes, singularly
enough for such apparently cool hands,
"a cure for the nerves." besides several
medicines and cosmetics, and volume
of poetry. Further on in the book is an
inventory of their ill-goten possessions,
and another of "Tools for housebreak-
ing," among which are enumerated
seventy-seven skeleton keys. The other
headings, "What got by housebreak-
ing," and "What Turnbull has got by
housebreaking," have no entries ap-
pended, the interference of the police
having suspended the bookkeeping as
well as other contemplated operations.
