A CHANCE FOR INVENTIVE
GENIUS.

The Los Angeles Herald remark
ing upon the cheapness of human life
as regarded in these days, if one is to
judge by the activity displayed in in
ventions to destroy it, and the disre-
gard of inventions to save it, refers to
the terrible disaster in Baltimore last
week where in a theater panic two
dozen human lives were trampled out
in moment. and twice as many more
people wounded, suggests that such dis
asters ought to be prevented and their
possibility put beyond the fartherest
limit
Certainly here is a field for the exer-
else of inventive genius that has not
been well worked There is not now
known any device for preventing
panic in a theater or other crowded
auditorium. If there have been any in
ventions in that direction, they have
made so little impression upon the pub
lie mind that they are now forgotten.
Yet it should not be held difficult to so
devise as would reduce audience-panics
to the lowest minimum of possibility.
Tt should be within the ability of in
ventors to provide some means by
which an audience can be prevented
from trampling upon its members or
choking up an exit. OF course, nothing
can be provided in advance to prevent
a panic. where there is a large number
of people in a small space. and some
fool raises the cry of fire; there is no
way to prevent the beginning of a panic
except each auditor is chained to his
seat. But it would seem to be possible
to so construct barriers throughout a
house. that would be under the control

q number of interposing rails or gates
could be made to cut the house instantly
into a number of sections, passage from

possible. and still permit the audience
to pass out to provided exits.
Some such device would absolutely
prevent a crush. and would compel the
people to retire in groups. and in such
order that even if there should be a
choked passage, the injury resulting
would be the least possible. consistent

of war to be caught with our gates un-

We do not believe that war is immi-
nent between the United States and
England, but it is not without the pos
sibilities We do not believe that either
nation wants war, but it is not impos-
sible for them to be driven into it by the
momentum of events, or the force of
public opinion We do not believe that
the naval and army officials desire to

that they are sound in their statements
that the surest preventive of war be-
tween our nation and foreign powers
is a state of fair preparedness for con-
hict. It inspires respect for US on one
side and confidence among US on the
other.
