OF MANY HUES.
Umbrella Season in London a Brilliant
One

London, Sept. 5.-This, unhappily, has
played unusually prominent part And
having come forward into the fierce glare
of publicity, so to speak, il is only natural
that the attention which has been focuss-
ed upon it should have suggested reform
in this harmless. necessary. and, to all
appearance. unredeemedly ugly equip
ment of our walks abroad at this present.
We have hitherto accepted the hideous-
ness of the umbrella as one of those
things which. being without remedy,
should be without regard. But this has
also been largely due 20 the fact that
the umbrella is only used in circum-
stances which are in themselves depress-
ing and induce no bright ideas. But
some one has wisely thought that so far
from being in tune with grayness. mist.
and gloom the umbrella should strike a
note of cheeriness. and to this end should
be made thing of beauty, a spot OF color.

LONDON is ANXIOUS.
Takes Measures to Insure Itself
Against Subway Tragedy

London, Sept. 5.-At the present time.
when subterranean railways promise TO
become one of the chief means of tran
sit in all great cities. and London in
particular is already riddIed with their
finished or half-fnished borings, such
disaster as that on the Paris Metropolitan
may well excite feelings of the gravest
nisgiving. The authorities responsible
for the management of similar lines, both
in London and New York, have. of
course, not been backward in issuing in
response to inquiries assurances that the
REPETITION upon their own systems of such
a disaster as that of Monday evening is
impossible. owing to the perfection Of the
mechanism employed, and the precautions
taken in its employment. They could do
no less. But all the same their affirma-
ton will not unnaturally fail to reassure
an anxious public. declares the st. James
Gazette. Two days ago the managers
of the Paris Metropolitan would doubt
less have given assurances equally
thorough. The general manager of that
serviceable. if stuffy. means of transit,
the "Twopenny Tube" has already ex-
pounded TO an interviewer the high de-
gree of safety secured upon that line
owing to the perfection OF its appliances
and the short distances between the sta
tons. We have no wish to impugn the
management of this railway or suggest
that it has been shown the slightest de-
gree of indifference in securing the safety
of its passengers; but the Paris accident
makes ii grimIy obvious that subter-
ranean electric traction contains the pos
sibility of surprises. 1t is impossible to
think of the disablement of a motor and
an outbreak of fire on the Tube" be-
tween say the postoffice and Chancery
Lone or the Marble Arch and Lancaster
Gate (Which are points by no means so
close together as the general assurance
would IMPLY without feeling of abso-
lutte horror.
1t is clear that even by experts not ev-
erything has been accurately forecast and
provided against in the management of
this leading means of transit of the fu-
ture. The general public, which IS not
less closely interested in the safety of
these underground lines, enjoys a degree
of information on the same points which
is vague and scanty to the highest de-
eddy throw a more sinister glamor about
such ominous phrases as short circuit
ing" and not without reason. Not only
to reassure the ignorance of the man !
In the street" but because this disaster |
has shown that the horrible dangers of !
a breakdown on electric subterranean |
lines are real and imminent. we believe |
that 1t would be OF real service for the |
Board Of Trade to carry out an investi- |
cation of the methods of such lines and |
to lay clearly down what are the neces-
sary conditions of safety. For the mo-
ment the public is alarmed, but scares of |
this sort are painfully short-lived in their |
effects. 1t is the duty of a responsible |
and efficient administration to use such /
warnings as an indication of the pre-
cautions to be enforced for the avoidance /
of similar entrophes in the future.

AT eight in the morning he walked along
the brink of the Crestone Perazzi. roped
between the guides. The elder Amer
went first. then came Mr.. Fitzgerald, and
last was young Amer. Suddenly old
Amer felt a powerful pull on the rope
and had hardly time to press his feet on
the rock and jam his shoulders against
the mountain wall His companions had
fallen down the precipice, and seemed
likely 10 drag him with them. Happily.
the rope resisted the strain. Young AL
ner, who had dropped feet forward on to
a layer Of snow. soon extricated himself.
and he ran to the nearer Gnifetti hut TO
obtain help. Although his leg was brok-
en-. Mr.. Fitzgerald succeeded in fixing his
alpenstick on neighboring rock. thus
getting some slight support, while the
heroic old Amer held him by the rope
which was fastened round his waist After
several hours agony, young Amer re-
turned with seven guides and two doc
tors, who CHANGED TO be at the Gnifetti
hut. Mr.. Fitzgerald was carefully lifted
and laid on a mattress. He showed no
fear, nor did he seem to have sustained
any great shock. but only complained Of
some giddiness. He was carried TO the
hut through the glaciers with much dim
