Occupations That Gradually Destroy tho
Lives OF the Men Engaged In Them
People are afraid to travel by land or
sea and take out all sorts Of accident
policies, but there are many legitimate
occupations or trades that kill as GER
tainly and steadily as the most i'll reg
ulated steam engine. An old writer
SAID that human life was the cheapest
thing on earth. Strange to say, says an
English trade journal, you cannot
brighten the workmen who know how
dangerous is their trade, and not even,
higher wages will tempt them from
such death traps. Lead, in the form of
bullets and shot, is deadly, dangerous
thing, but 1t is also death dealing to all
who use it in their work, as house
painters, gilders, calico printers, type
founders, potters and braziers
Mercury is foe to life. Those who
make mirrors, barometers or thermom-
eters, who etch or color wool or felt,
will soon feel the effect of the nitrate

~ WEAKNESS subdues them, and soon
they succumb. Copper enters into the
composition of many articles Of every
day life, and too soon those who work
in bronzing and similar decorative proc
esses lose teeth and eyesight and final
ly life. Makers of wall paper grow pale
and sick from the arsenic in its color
ing, and matchmakers lose strength
and vitality from the excess of phos-
phorus used in their business.
Nitric acid is used by engrayers, by
etchers i'll copper, by makers of gun cot

are poison to the human lungs and soon
destroy them completely. Ammonia
kills the .soapmakers; workers in guano
grow deaf; hydrocyanio acid deals
death to gilders, photographers and pic
ture finishers, while zinc is fatal foe
to calico printers, makers of optical
glasses and meerschaum pipes.
Mankind is by nature brave, and
very few are deferred from action be-
cause of supposed danger. If tho great
builders and engineers of the world
would stop and ask, How many lives
will this undertaking cost?" it is prob
able that the world would be without
some of the greatest triumphs of mod
ern thought. Everyday life and COM
mon occupations are full of silent cour-
age, and nil around arc workers who
die in the harness and are true heroes
