The recent wreck of the Twentieth
Century Limited at Mentor, Ohio. re-
minds us-simply reminds us, for we
have always known it-that there is
no way Of making human life secure
except by improving human charac-
ter. The world is full of people who
feel no conjunction whatever about
killing or manning other people. Some
are insane, without their insanity be-
ing suspected. Some are merely ignO-
rant and mischievous. Some are ha-
bitual criminals with grudges against
society. Some are reckless, some are
fanatical, some are wanton and some
are merely forgetful. They make up
vast army of people with whom we
mix every day and who would think
nothing at all of causing our death.
All the laws on earth could not re-
strain them and all the detectives on
earth could not watch them. They
can poison our food and drink, they
can burn us up, they can drown us,
they can run us down in the street,
they can crush us to death in q rail-
road accident, they can blow us up
with dynamite, they can waylay and
stab or shoot us-whenever they
choose. If they are caught one-half Of
them seem to be irresponsible and the
other half care nothing at all about
being hanged. The progress Of sci
ence, instead Of being a protection
against such characters, really tempts
and assists them to destroy u.s. A fast
railroad train suggests to them that it
would be- fine fun to derail it. The
electric wire temptS them to make a
connection that will kill some one.
High explosives have an irresistible
fascination and lead to wholesale as
sassination and murder. Autocars
would lose their charm to some people
if pedestrians were not killed by them.
Countless fatalities make us cry out
for additional mechanical appliances,
for better laws and ordinances and
for a larger army Of watchmen, and
these precautions are really desirable
and of some value, but they will never
to any great extent remedy the evil.
The trouble Is that the world is full Of
crooked, degenerate, ignorant or Vi
cious people and until they are got rid
of tile next man we meet in the street
may shoot us down, for all we know.
1t is a trite remark that the success Of
our free institutions depends on the
individual character of our people, but
it is just as true that our very lives
depend on it, too. If anything could
be worse than this it is that our repu-
tations are exposed in she same way.
The lesson society needs to learn Ia
that it must in some way reduce the
number Of lunatics, hoodlums, desper-
ADDE'S, degenerates and fools and give
the world more virtuous and hui
name set of inhabitants II it wants 1t
to be fit to live in.

aesthetic sense, we confess ourselves
in need at least of the discipline and
hardship Of military life. A few days
ago, in England, lady spoke TO me
of an American book she had been
reading which pictured school life.
The hero was forbidden by his mother
to play football. why" said my
friend, IF an English boy were for
hidden by his mother to play football,
he wouldn't own her." 1t was strong
language to use, but the point underly-
ing the exaggeration was that true
boyhood requires peril for its develop
ment

Eight large editions Of "Tillie: A
Mennonite Maid" have been necessary
to supply the demand. The book, it's
publishers report, though issued over
a year ago, is a good steady seller
month in and month out.
Anna Katherine Green's 1.-THE Leav-
enworth Case" published over twenty
five years ago, remains as the stand
ard Of comparison for all later detec-
tive stories. The Putnams have pub
lished over 100000 copies Of it, and
have worn out two sets of plates.
Miss Elizabeth Robins, author of
''The Dark Lantern" and "The Mag
netic North" was born in Louisville
and received her education in the mid
die west. She has risen to a high
position on the English stage and is
now achieving considerable fame as an
author.
E. Phillips Oppenheim, author of
four popular novels we'll known to
American writers, is SO years old, lives
in Leicestershire, England, but has
also cottage at Sherington. He is an
enthusiast at golf. His wife was a
native Of Boston, and he has a little
daughter who is his constant compan-
ion.
1t is said Mrs. Deland's recent book
Of essays, 1.-THE Common Way" is be-
coming quite cult among women
Several prominent clubs have adopted
the essays as basis for discussions DUR
ing the coming club season, and sub
jects are being studied and papers
written. Mrs. Deland writes lumin-
ously and with good common sense
upon the everyday things of life, which
are, after all, the most important"
H. G.. Wells, the rumancer, is the
son Of Joseph Wells, a famous crick-
eter, and has himself had a varied
career, having been school teacher,
chemist, dramatic critic and other
things. He was an ardent football
player until he received an injury from
which he has not yet recovered. He
made his first literary success with
1.-THE Time Machine" and has followed
line Of scientific prophecies ever
since
Eight editions of "De Profundis," by
Oscar Wilde, have already appeared
in this country and England, though
the little book was only published this
spring. AS work of literary art the
critics hold but one opinion, but they
are divided as to its sincerity, about
half regarding 1t as a deliberate pose,
the remainder as an expression of sim
cere contrition. The mans reputa ton
as poseur always prevented hearty
recognition Of his real genius. ~
There is interest in the fact that
the author Of one Of the two modern
books which contain the most vivid
and actual descriptions of battle to
be found reported should never have
seen battle, and that the other should
probably have witnessed more battles
than any other man alive. The first
Is Stephen Crane, author Of 1.-THE
Redge Badge Of Courage" the second

All gold is not alike when refined.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken in California. More
over, placer gold is more yellow than
that which is taken from quartz. This
is one Of the mysteries Of metallurgy,
because gold in placers comes from
that which is in quartz. Gold taken
from different placers will vary in
color. The gold in the Ural mountains
IS the reddest in the world.

Instead Of wasting our time and en-
