TRAGEDIES AvERTED.
Projected Murders and Robhcries
Prevented by the Intervention
of Small Things.

Public opinion cites some cases in
which tragedies were prevented by
unforeseen accidents.
A man who had planned a murder in
q railway carriage, cunningly timing
his attack for the moment when the
train was passing no station and when
no other train was expected to be in
the vicinity, carried out part of the
programme to perfection. His hand
was on his victims throat, and all
should have gone well, when shout
arrested his attention, the train
slowed up, and he found himself a
prisoner.
A local Especial" put on at busy
junction, was the cause of his failure.
The express had overhauled the slow
er train. and the moment of passing
had been the moment chosen by the
murderer. The deed was witnessed
and the express stopped.
\ party of despeiNdoes having de-
tcrmined to rob n train, creased the
rails on steep incline that ran
through cutting They were defeat
ed by the small accident of the bank
giving way beneath the feet of two of
their number, who stood waiting on
the edge. ready to fire on the driver of
the locomotive below. The earth that
gave way bcnrath-their feet fell upon
the rails. and enabled the engine to
keep going until the top of the rise
was reached.

plosion planned hy anarchists. Pro-
cceding on Il fete day to the spot Sc
lected, the man who was carrying the
bomb stepped on the piece of fruit
skin. He fell with such force that the
bomb at once exploded. and he himself
was the only person killed.
A wooden pcnholder, stuck behind a
bank clerks ear, caught in the hammer
of revolver held close to his head by
robber, and prevented the weapon
from going off. The robber took
fright and dccamped.

GERMANS ON THE INCREASE
Returns of the Last Census show the
Population of the Empire to
lie 36,O0O.OOO.

The United States census office has
received through the state depart
ment consular report on the popula-
zion of the German empire and its
changes during the last century. The
population is now about j6,O0O,0OO,
larger than any other country in Eu-
rope except Russia, which has in Eu-
rope alone over O6O00000 subjects, or
nearly twice as many as Germany.
In 1899 the whole German empire had
q population of about 2G,000,000, and
at the close of The Napoleonic wars in
1915 Germany, though somewhat re-
duCed in size, had Il population of some
thing more than 30.000,000. In 1915,
since which date the area has re-
manned almost constant, Germany had
"a 900, 900; in 1865, 40,O00,000: in 1885,
47.0OO, 900, and in 1900, about $500, 900,
an increase during the century of
about 3OOOO0OO
Since 1871, when the modern Ger
man empire was organized, the popula-
tion of Germany has increased about
So per cent, growth extremely rapid
for an old country, and for one send

emigrants. The Germans felt Il natu-

population, says the report, compared
with that of their rival across the
Rhine. In 1915 France had about 3d.

The annual report of the depart

less than 7O,S63 men were last year
earning their living by exploiting
Canadian waters, using 5,506,760

representing capital of Sl0,O0O,OO0
Nearly 1000 schooners and tugs
manned by S,97O sailors, as well as TO-
S92 other fishermen, using over 5000
boats, found occupation in this vast
industry. The lobster plant alone is
estimated at $1,334, ,1SO, comprising s5s
canneres, dispersed on the seaboard
of the maritime provinces.
No less than lS,70S persons found
employment in this branch of the fish
ing industry, using 100000 traps.
The salmon preserving industry in
British Columbia, comprising 60 can
