NOVELTY IN EXHIBITIONS.
Safety Devices to Be Shown at New
York in January.

va NhsA
The American Institute of Social
Service will hold in New York city
in January next an exposition of de-
vices for safeguarding the lives and
limbs of working men and women,
and for preventing accidents under
the ordinary conditions of life and la
Dor to which the general public is ex-
posed.
This will be the first exposition of
the kind in this country. AS far back
as 1889, says Insurance Engineering,
there was a German exposition for
the prevention of accidents. In 1893
an exposition of this nature was held
in Amsterdam, and since then there
have been several similar expositions
in Continental Europe and in Canada.
AS an outgrowth of these national
movements there have been organ
lied several museums of security, n
at Vienna, in 1890; one at Amster-
1900; n at Berlin, in 1901, and
n at Paris, in 1905, and Russia has
recently established a museum on a
large scale in Moscow.
That these expositions and mus
Gums have been OF real value to their
respective countries is evinced by a
comparative study of the number of
accidents in Europe and in America,
which shows that for the same mum
Der of men employed in a given trade
we have from two to nine times as
many accidents as they have in Eu-
ropean countries.
The perfection of modern firearms
rendered the late conflict in Asia ex-
ceptionally bloody; and yet it can be
shown that without reasonable doubt
the casualties of our industrial army
in the United States are at least so
per cent. greater every year than the
number of killed and wounded in
both the Japanese and Russian ar
mics.
Such conditions can exist only
Though general ignorance of their
reality, and it is for the purpose of
educating the public to an apprecia-
ton of the actual situation and the
of its improvement that the
exposition of safety devices is to be
held.

The San Francisco Disaster As a Bar
Ometer of Human Nature.

Ray Stannard Baker, in The
American Magazine for November,
writes of the effect of the earthquake
and fire upon the people of San Fran
cisco. He treats it as a story of hui
man nature laid bare by II of the
worlds great catastrophes.
During Earthquake love-" as ii
was called, "San Francisco was a city
shaken into practical Christianity.
The people dwelled for a time in Eu-
topia. Mayor Schmitz, a machine
man, forgot that he had a boss and
served his city well. Individuals and
corporations rushed to each others
assistance. Genuine righteousness
prevailed.
But gradually, a little here and Il
little there, personal greed and pri-
vate interest began to break through
Men remembered themselves again.
IF Smith gets in on this, | must.
Business is business. I've got 20
live" The present situation is re-
ported by Mr.. Baker as follows:
This is the way the city is being
rebuilt-by an intense struggle Of
each man for immediate profit; little
mercy for the weak, less thought of
the ultimate public good. San Fran
cisco will rebuild; its people will have
the greater and grander city of their
hearts' desire; the point | am MAX
ing here is that they are coming to it
through mountains of private greed
and selfishness-and at what a fear
full wastage of energy!
mo thoughtful man can help ask
ing himself if such conditions of pri-
vate greed as now prevail in San
Francisco, such frightful and waste
full competition are necessary. viii
not such greed, such increases in wa
ges and prices, such strikes, such a
spirit of 'gouge,' as they call it out
there, finally defeat itself?
1T is not enough to say that San
Francisco is merely suffering the re-
suits OF the common struggle for ex-
istence, and that the law of supply
and demand will finally regulate the
difficulty. Why should it be neces-
sary for intelligent men,, capable of
serving and working together as they
did in the early days after the fire, to
slump back into the reign of instinct,
and submit themselves wholly to the
law of the jungle? If our civilization
means anything, it e an in
%creasing ability of men TO mitigate
the blind operation of natural law;
1t means the coming of a time when
men, clear eyed, will see that service,
self-control, cooperation, will ac-
complish the same end at which sell
fish competition now aims-and fails
to reach.
This is the picture. The earth
quake and the fire have shown us,
that, after all, mep reapretty much
alike; that we've plenty of goodness
in us, and plenty of evil; that when
we forget ourselves, the good comes
uppermost, and when we see nothing
beyond our own interestg, we are
plunged INTO miss1aes oi greed :,

Over each dot, marked in regular
distance, place a tiny wad of cotton.
Turn to the right side and sew the
material around it, thus making a lit

with the pretty pickering they make,

at SO cents a yard.
This will make n bag about thir-
ty inches long (according to the
width of the cloth), and three about
seven inches long.
The former can be made with sew
eral compartments of various sizes,
and will fold into three or four laps.
The others will just about hold one
wash rag or sponge. The lap is about
three inches wide.

1t is true enough that the East has

and bone to the upbuilding of this re-
public of ours; that many of the
names that are figuring in every not
able enterprise of the West bark back
to an origin among the first Ameri-

grips our hearts as a national indi-
vidualism had its inception and its
nurture in a New England environ

not enough. There is still a role in
the nations march of progress for the
East to play, a role no less important

presses itself in a succession of wave
forms, in cycles of achievement, each

that the endeavor and accomplish

part and parcel of the present into
the ever unfolding future.
All over the earlier settled sections
of this continent, in every hamlet and

the heroic conquest of this new land
of ours, lie the graves of the settlers.

groups OF the Left supporting the government

that in the present season there will be great
