teams was caught by the wires. 1t was
liz the evening. The horse got en-
tangled and the wire threw him
down. Some OF the snarl of wires
proved to be those of electric lights.
The kicking and the struggles of the
horse brought the wires in contact. and

Why Religious News is not Re-
ONrfoH

COIGSu.
How comes it that base ball ana
horse racing news is reported with
great care and fullness. while the lead
ing religious events are either ignored
altogether or indifferently reported?
Is it not because newspaper editors
have learned that persons who belong
to the theatrical or sporting or the
mercantile public buy their papers ac-
cording as they find in them full,
prompt and sympathetic treatment of
theatrical, sporting and market news;
whereas religious people, as such. do
not discriminate in their patronage of
newspapers with corresponding ex-
actness? In other words. do religious
people feel as keen an interest in re-
ligious news as the base ball public
feels in base ball news or as the
horse racing public feels in the news
of horse racer Do religious people.
to any considerable degree, choose one
paper rather than another because one
paper gives more prominence to re-
ligious news than another, or treats 1t
with a more sympathetic apprehen-
sionp You can go up one bench and
down another at base ball gamc and
every man in the crowd will tell you
what papers of the next morning will
have a glowing account of the match
then in progress and which will dis
miss it in few cold lines, and very
many of them will make their pur-
chase of a paper on the following
morning on the basis of choice. Now
apply that mode of reasoning to re-
ligious people. Out of an audience as
sembled in city for some notable re-
ligious occasion. how many will be
able to predict the relative prominence
that will be given 10 that meeting by
the newspapers And how many
will 60 to the newspaper stand the
following day and buy paper conf
dent without looking it through. that
il gives good account of the eventp
In short, Is it not. after all, question
OF supply and demandp-EerEm.

and their self-satisfied honk-honk- honk,

seemed to mean that spring was at

returned in wild confusion, their ranks

their only aim seeming to be that they
might find shelter in some of the many
hooks of the Chesapeake and its tribu-

Dangers of insufficient Ventila-
tiOn

ton.
One of the great evils of civilization,
says writer in the Scientific Anaeri-
can, lies in the crowding together of
large numbers of persons in confined
spaces. This is especially the case
with schools and with factories. but is
not limited 10 those instances. 1t has
ALWAYS been known that such crowding
was unhealthy. but the exact amount
of evil resulting is necessarily difficult
TO estimate.
Very recently Brown Sequard has
proved by actual chemical analysis that
the air expired by healthy person
contains poison, not a microbe. but a
distinct chemical pc son.
In factories, as usually arranged,
there must inevitably be much evil
done by the breathing of other peo-
ple's breaths all day long, six days in
the week. Brown-Sequard considers
it principal cause of consumption.
The only remedy lies in effectual
ventilation, and there can be no doubt
that in factories, schools. and all other
places in which many persons live and
work or study in confined space, the
ventilation should be much better than
it is. In some factories the air is so
bad that persons unaccustomed to it
are rendered faint. What then, must
be the effect on those who live in itp
would W Sin, therefore, to appeal
urgently to those who have the diree-
ton of schools and factories to intro
duce really effective ventilation. They
have the health. even the lives, of
large numbers in their charge, and
cannot escape this great responsible
itv
