CRIME IN LITERATURE.
n Significant Fact That Deserves
Little COnSiderat ton.

Little Consideration.
An article in the Westminster Ike
view deals with 'Crime in current
Literature,' the anonymous author as
serting that never were there so many
pens engaged in dealing with crime
and criminals as at the present tlme;
the few, seriously and solemnly; the
many, lightly and irreverently, and
unwilling Of the moral mischief they
thereby engender.' He refers especl-
ally to the fOndness for reflective
stories,' most Of which, he finds, are
written by individuals who have not
and never had the remotest connec-
ton with the police" On this head
the writer furnishes the following sta
tistics:
The number Of newspapers, strictly
so-called, published weekly in Great
Britain and containing serial stories
of one kind or another is nearly 800.
Of these 592 are published in England
and Wales, 113 in Scotland and so in
Ireland Out of this total it has been
ascertained that in the year 1893 nc
fewer than 240 published complete, or
| portions Of detective stOries-storles
| of all phases and forms of criminal
| ity. describing the details thereof with
greater or less degrees of minuteness:
here making the criminal a sort Of
Claude Duval, or highway hero worthy
of emulation, and there rightly brand
| ing him as an Ubiquitous scoundrel fit
only for the clutch Of Jack Ketch, but
almost invariably depicting the hide
! BUSINESS of crime as it certainly ought
not to be depicted. Many such week
| ly newspapers as are published in pop
ulous centers have long ago recognized
the Importance of this factor in help
ing to increase their circulation, and
they cannot be blamed for it. But it is
a somewhat remarkable fact, which
the inquiry into this phase of the sub
ject has made evident. that in neWspa-
pers of the class indicated which are
published in Ireland the general char
like enough still is, much above that
of the stories published in the same
place in English or Scottish neWspa-
pers. On an average, there are fewer
by far that make the same literary spe-
cialty in story or Experience" form
of the subject of crime and it's detec
ton. In the light of the past, or ever
= of present, events in Ireland this evi
dence may be taken for what it i!
worth; but it is none the less sig
nifcant fact deserving of a little con
sideration by those whom it may hap
pen to concern.

itate. There really will be no danger,
but the trouble is, it is likely to seem
as if there were, and to most people
this is as bad as if what was feared
really existed. ....
If the career of the see-saw at the
Tennessee exposition is a success, it
will mean a new era in amusement en-
terprises, for there is no reason why
these mechanical teeters cannot be con-
structed on much smaller scale.
There are great many people who
possess so many years that they can
not bring themselves to confess that
there still clings to them that innate
love Of lettering which when children
they were able to crafty. If the see
saw makes its appearance in the great
cities, the chances are that there will
be no age limit upon the passengers.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1897-06-03

should be nicely balanced upon the
fence, or upon whatever object was its
central point Of support. This is the
idea which has been observed in the
construction of the giant see-saw.
1t seems wonderful, when one thinks
Of it, that so great an affair as this
could be adjusted with such mechanical
nicely. Yet c. H. Devallos of Nash
VILE. whose idea it is, says that were
1t not for that same delicate adjust
ment, the see-saw would be an utter
failure. The question naturally arises,
is it possible for the steel beam to slip
and thus destroy the balance and get
beyond the control of the machinery.
The Inventor says, however, that ow-
ing to the tremendous prehensile
strength of the structure, especially at
the points where any strain may posi-
Oily develop, that an accident of the
sort suggested is absolutely impossi-
Bile.
At the time of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition in Chicago, or rather some
months previous thereto, an idea some
thing like that which has resulted in
the construction of the see-saw was
preached. The building and mechani-
cal experts who were asked to pass
upon the idea laughed at the plan and
said that even in this era of wonderful
creations the successful carrying out
of such project was entirely out Of
the question. It simply could not be
done. Mr.. Devallos has, however,
shown that the seeming impossible is
clearly practicable and his see-saw
promises to be one of the greatest at
fractions at the Tennessee Centennial.
The only seeming impeachment to the
entire success and great popularity OF
the see-saw seems to be that on the
face OF it it is what the Tennessee
mOuntaineer calls "scary" When a
man stands on the ground and looks
up at the top of the tower and remem-
bers that the swing of the great truss
beam would take him 200 feet from thu
earth with nothing but air between
him and terra firma, he is likely to hes

improvement in India.

The latest reports from the Bombay
presidency show a very considerable
reduction in the mortality from this
plague, and indicate that the worst is
over. AS regards the famine, also, the
prospect has been frightened by rains.
