THE RIDGEwOoD PARK FATALITY.

There seems TO be no doubt that the exhibit
ton given at Ridgewood Park on Sunday even
ing by Mcdonnell. ending In his death, was u
violation of the law which requires the use OF
a netting or other safety appliances at such
performances In behalf OF the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad Company, with which Melon
nell had contract. il Is formally declared that
the company had engaged him for one week,
exclusive of Sunday night, and that ne must
have made an independent arrangement Win
the lessee Of the park for the exhibition which
resulted fatally. Whatever the facts may De
rs 10 this particular performance 1t Is evident
that either in ignorance or wllful disregard or
the law Mcdonnell had been hired to ride his
bicycle on a lofty wire. and in so doing to incur
inst such a risk as the law with good reason
forbids The responsibility ought to be fixed,
and. IL possible, suitable penalty imposed on
those who were instrumental in causing the
performers death.
1t Is not merely the value Of a human life
which the law relating TO such feats Of skill
and daring takes into account While human
nature remains what H Is. large number of
persons will continue to be fascinated by peril
Gus exploits Doubtless man riding bicycle
on wire carrying an electric current by which
he Is illuminated Is spectacular object, at
which scarcely anybody within sight OF 1t could
refrain from looking. Doubtless also the feat
requires an amazing control Of the muscles and
nerves. hut it il equally sure that If performed
at a distance Of only few inches instead OF
many feet from the ground II would excite only
q languid interest The element Of extreme
danger is what allures spectators. and the APP
peal thus made is to a sentiment which ought
not to Ike encouraged Explorers mountain
climbers aeronauts and many other daring men
eagerly accept chances which may be as des-
perate as any that the slack-wire performer or
the bridge Jumper" or the navigator of the
Niagara Rapids confronts; but the former gen.
orally earn something more than cash by their
exploits. Even though love Of adventure Is the
motive which impelS them TO risk their lives.
they nevertheless make important contributions
to the sum of human knowledge, and there Is
an element Of nobility in their defiance of dan
ger But there is nothing noble about reckless
ness which has no other object than TO derive
a profit from curiosity made keen by the posi-
bility Of disaster.
This Is one Of the considerations justifying
the law which was violated in RidgewOOd Park
on Sunday evening. 1t Is reasonable and
good law. and 1t ought to be rigdy enforced

THE EVILS or FALSE WITNESS.

An instructive example Of the mischief a
published lie may do comes fresh to hand from
India paper printed at ChandernagOr, which
is so vile i'm tone that it is excluded from the
British indian mails, printed a story about an
outrage committed upon two Indian women by
two British soldiers. 1t created sensation
among the lower classes. who read such stuff,
and melted some Of them to commit several
murders, by way of vengeance. professor
named GOkhlee. in a sO-called college In
that region. took the incident up as text for
incendiary appeals for a rising against British
rule. Some Of the Radical papers in England
repeated the cry. and denounced the infamy
of their own Government. And In America
and all over the world there were bitter criti-
csms of the awful despotsm which India suf-
fers.
Now the fact Is there was not word OF
truth I'm the story. The passions Of the mob
were reused by lie. Murders were commit
ted because of a lie. The heroic men who
have been saving India from pestilence and
famine were maligned and menaced because OF
n lie Fanatical agitation was set afOOt all over
the empire by wantOn and obscene lie. And
now the respectable mOuthpiece OF the libel,
the Deccan professor" admits that there was
no truth in #; he was "misled by the persons
from whom he got the Information; and he
unreservedly withdraws the charges he made,
and will apologize TO the Government. He may
we'll do So but he can never undo the mischief
he has done.
The incident Is not unique. One-half the do
nestle "uprisings" and international chickering's
have their origin in equally baseless utter
ances. Examples are as numerous here as
elsewhere. Some hare-brained fool or I'M
scrupulOus schemcr announces the discovery of
a mares nest; IA sensational press screams ont
wild Mutations; and the minimizing part Of the
popnlace is quickly in a frenzy. Thus arise
breaches of peace. prejudices and animOsities.
md q thousand other reproaches upon the in
tegence and character of mankind. This
tragic incident at POOnah IL one Of the latest.
though not the most extreme, example Of the
evil n lie may do. II il does not serve to re-
strain the bearers Of false witness, it should
be warning to the people not to believe too
readily the worst tales that are set afoat.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Superintendent Green, Of the Congressional Ii
brary, has devised an ingenious arrangement for
removing dust from the books before they are
placed upon the new shelves. He has attached an
ordinary rubber hose to the air compressor belong
ing the pneumatic tube system. and. % his
language. will just turn the hose the dusty
books. Instead Of water. however a stream Of
air, flowing out under heavy pressure will do the
work. To the end Of the hose IL attached broad
nozzle. onesixteenth of an inch by four inches in
size, which will enable the air to play upon the
books In a stream the shape OF brush. The plan
has been tried with success upon the collections
that have already been brought over and 1t Is ex-
pected that every book will go into its new quar-
tiers free from dust.
Equal TO the Occasion.-"The trouble with your
machine" said the scofer in the buggy. probably
Is that il was tired when you started out"
still plying his air-pump vigorously but It's get
ting It's second wind.'-(Chicago Tribune.
