Railroad Acro.. the English Channel.

The English Parliament is considering the
plan of connecting that country with France
by railway. Engineers say roadbed can be
laid on the bottom of the English channel,
and by mounting trestlework on wheels, so
that it projects above the water, the railway
can be operated. This seems beyond belief,
but it is perhaps no more remarkable than
some of the cures accomplished by Hostel.

daring woman reporter to go all the
way to Brattleboro, while KipLing was
living there, to get an interview. She
haunted the house for days, made no
end of trouble, failed at last, and made
a good string of space" by writing the
most ill-natured abuse and caricature
of Mrs. Kipling, who had met and ward
I'd off her attacks. Now the fact that
the writer was herself an English wom-
an didn't alter the feeling that the in
cident gave the Kiplings about the in
teryiewing system.
OF course an American with any tact
would see reporters, chat with them,
find them in the main very good fell
lows, and have their good will without
saying what he didn't wish to say. Mr..
Depew, for instance, probably submits
to an interview every day of his Life and
never has to complain of the slightest
misrepresentation of his words.
OF course it is bother. was in his
office one day when a reporter who
didn't appear very bright was getting
his opinion of some complicated rail-
road matter. When he had finished Mr..
Depew said: "Now read over your
notes and let's see if you've got all you
want"
Page by page they went over the
notes together, correcting. amplifying-
restating, until they seemed TO promise
an intelligent report. Then thereport-
er was released, wiping his heated
brow; but there was no mlsrepresenta-

it, and probably not more than ten or
twelve are accepted in a years time.
Why not? Because the magazine, like
the newspaper, is made up of articles
assigned to well-known writers. The
editor cannot afford to leave anything
to chance. He fills his pages with the
work of men and women who can
write, laying his plans for q year or
more in advance. He sorts the mall
only. for new blood, than which moth
ing is more eagerly sought.
About one manuscript in thousand
can be accepted under this system. The
chances are best for good short stories.
for these are the hardest commodity
to find in the literary market. Indeed,
good short story is pretty sure of
finding a market somewhere, even IL
the author is utterly unknown. The
trouble is that most short stories are
not good. A short story isworth about
$75 or 500 in big magazine, $25 to
$50 in one of the minor ones or in a
weekly.
There aren't ten men in the country
who make over 1000 year by purely
literary work. Most of the fairly we'll
known magazine writer's make their
bread by some other work; only the
butter by magazining, One of the
best writers told me not long ago that
he gets from $500 to 1000 n year by
his signed work. On the other hand,
there are probably over 200 newspaper
men in New York alone who earn more
than $1,000 year each.

The labor union leaders are pushing
law to compel the sellers of sweat
shop clothing to label their wares:
Tenement Made Garment" This, 1t
is expected, would make the sweaters
give up their overcrowding of 80 or
more men into each of many little tene-
ment rooms, and establish factories
which could be regularly inspected.
There is another iniquity that might
be considered while they are about it.
That is the selling of secondhand
clothes as new. There are six or seven
aucton-rooms in the city where pawn
brokers' pledges are sold to dealers.
The pledges are mostly clothing, per-
haps stolen, perhaps pawned from pow
erty, perhaps outgrown. Some of these
auction-rooms are busy all day, and
every day, except Saturday, the Jewish
Sabbath. Others are open only twice
week.
