The Safety Of the nany Bought by tho
Denth of ths Few.
All crafts depend upon knowledge and
terial to be handled, acquired skill in the
handling Of the material. Pioneers of
mountaineering had first to learn what
mountains actually are like. the details
OF their structure, and the forces in &C.
ton upon them. Rock structure, which
has II meaning for a geologist, has
others for a mountaireer. One kind of
mountain masonry forms ridges and
r~nllies, another forms lodges and preci-
pieces. One texture and dip makes stair
E4avs ..lat can be rushed, another makes
slabs that car scarcely be adhered to.
One kind Of Substance is firm and trust
gorthy, another is friable and treacher-
aus to hand and foot. If there was SO
much to be learned about rocks. snow
and ice were at first far more unknown.
The anatomy of glaciers had to be dis
covered, the secrets Of crevasse forma-
ton to be learned. There were the
varied phenomena implied in the phrase,
'stGte of the snow," to be understood.
BoIn root and eye had to be trained to
recognize by feel and glance what the
Estate of the snow" at any time might
be. Avalanches had to be investigated
q. launches OF snow, ice and rock-when
they might be expected to fall, where
they were to be looked for, how far they
would go. Climbers had to learn to
distinguish afar off between snow and
it. slopes. Moreover, the tools of noun
taineering had to be invented. Many
were tried and discarded; a few were re-
tanned and improved. The form of the
a. was slowly evolved and its uses
learned. The way to employ the rope
was a yet more difficult discovery. Even
now the proper form for climbing irons
10 .Aiy being arrived at.
Accidents, usually fatal, were the
lessons wherefrom these facts were de-
rived. The great Matterhorn accident
finally demonstrated how the rope
should be used and proved that large
parties were q sourc of danger. The
Lyskamm accident showed the peril of
cornices. Unroped climbers met their
N many mountains. From al
most every accident something was
learned. The safety of the many has
I n bought by the death Of the few.
We al now plunge into the world Of

It's dangers and can guard against them;
we know also when we are safe and
where we can freely go. Our forerun-

put to sea-badly equipped and into a
misunderstood region. We are now on
the footing of the modern sailor. Snow,
as such, has no more terrors for us than
sea for them. Ill luck may overtake
us. :"a we may fall, as they may be
drowned, but with good equipment and
experience the climber and seafarer are

High

There are certain explosives of high
power which, when heated, burn quietly
if freely exposed, Or if confined explode
only at tho spot where heat is applied
without the whole mass taking part in
the explosion. Nitroglycerol, dynamite,
gun cotton, picric acid and the new
German military powder are examples.
This is said to be because they are bad
conductors of their ow, explosive wave.
If, however, the same substances are
subjected to a violent shock by the ex-
plosion in their midst of initial charges
Of mercury illuminate, the shock seems
to affect all the molecules Of the explo-
sive at once, and the whole mass Of the
latter explodes with enormous violence.

there were in that country $50 electric

five months it carries its foliage.

The Prise. Of Literary work.

When not long ago n statement wa,
made in The Author that there were
fifty men and women In Great Britain
and the states who were making cl,0OC
year and upward by writing novels,
the statement was received with derisiye
laughter. Fifty novelists making 81 900
year? Impossible! Preposterous! The
statement. however, was made by one
who knew what he was saying. II Is n
true statement; 1t represents the real
prizes Of the profession,
There arc in London alone, II is said,
10000 people who in some branch OF
other exercise the literary profession.
Fifty Of them by writing novels make
over 81 900 year. The number of men
who actually livosby tho production OF
original work. apart from journalism IN
any Of its branches, is comparatively
small. There nre half u dozen drama.
