THRILLING NEWS REPORTS.
Dr1nsatie Incidents Rather Than Loss Of
Life Awaken Publie Interest

Drsnlasie Incidents Rather Than Loss Of
Life Awaken Publie Interest
The remarkable succession Of catsstro-
phas On land and sea that marked the
closing week Of August recslls-whst
may Cfte1 Be reEnarked-how little the
mere numbered lives lost affects the pub
he interest in any sudden calamity.
Scme accidents in which the mortality
was comparatively small make much
more terrific news items than others Of
far greater fatality. II Is the circum-
stances Of the accident much more than
its mOrtuary statistics that excite the
public mind The loss Of life by recent
storms on the sea islands Of the Carolina
o0sst was terrific, but II got smaller
share Of public attention than the cold
storage FIRE in Chicago. That fire was
intensely dramatic. Thousands Of peo-
PIE watched 1t. and newspapers printed
reports Of il which made the flesh fairly
shrlvel on their readers scalps.
But there was nothing especially drs-
matte about the drowning Of hundreds
Of negroes on those low lying islands in
that gale. No one who could tell about
il was there 70 see. The news Of the mere
destruction Of life fails - stir the reader.
Twice az many lives were lately lost bg
marine end other disasters within fort
night in this country as by the sinking
Of the Victoria, but the Victoria disaster
will be yividly remembered long after
the record Of the August gales Of 1893
has slipped out Of public mind.
Railroad accidents, however calami-
tOus. make only second rate reading, be
cause we are so used 10 them. ANY ha-
bitual newspaper reader, after running
his eye down the headlines Of the news
of collision or broken bridge, can fill
IN the details from his experience. There
were so many killed, the cars did or did
not take fire, this or that man was to
blame, this or that well known man was
among the victims. We have read it all
before. 1t makes little impression.
When the bridge over the Tay went
down, that was an event which made
even the most hardened reader hold his
breath. If the East River bridge should
fall, or one Of those at Niagara, that
hDuA4 l1Ahht IEdlll4S IOI erf-
eral days.
From the newspaper point Of view cy-
clones make rather poor reading. Where
the wreck Of a town is distributed over
the next county, there is comparatively
little to be said. The material has all
been carried of and most Of the story
with it. Hotel fires and panics in thea
ters are sometimes dreadful enough to
stir the public mind 10 its depths at the
time and leave their impress On it for
! years afterward.
Floods sometimes make breathless
reading, but not often. Usually they
leave behind mere details Of drowned
cattle, ruined crops and stranded farm
buildings. The damage is stated IN fig.
ures, and figures do not impress the i'm
agination But it was food-at Johns.

nearth of Popular song..

There seems 10 be a dearth Of songs
that appeal 70 the popular ear this sea

stage tunes less tuneful than Of old. or
whether there be some other cause, ii Is

Louisville was little belated, for HOyt's

What Chinese Immigration Means.

Even an eastern preacher can grasp
the idea that in business one merchant
or manufacturer can only hold his own
Igainst another by practicing like econ
Omies and keeping his wages fund down
TO the lowest point which his workmen
will tolerate. 1t may be beyond the pow
ers of the preacher TO grasp the equally
undeniable fact that wages are regulated
by the competition Of workmen for en-
ployment. Let in the Chinese in sufi-
cient numbers, and they will, by the op-
Grafton Of law that is as imperious as
that Of grayitation. regulate wages in
the United States. That means simply
that white men in order 10 compete with
coolies would be forced 10 become coolies.
Does ny American who is not more
concerned about keeping 400 mission
aries in the Chinese empire, with its
population Of 400 000. 600, than for the
future Of this republic and Christian
civilization, think it desirable to wei
come without restriction the Chinese
immigrant who brings with him the mi
crobes Of such industrial and social pO-
tentialitiesi--San Francisco Argonaut.
Digestion.
There is a difference in the time of
digestion between one meat and another
and between different conditions Of the
same meat. Raw beef disappears from
the stomach in about two hours; the
same beef boiled takes three hours, while
thoroughly roasted beef is not digested
until four hours have elapsed. - Ex-
