WHEN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
More Frequent as the Week and the
Day Advance, French Observers
Say.

French statisticiaes are making a
careful investigation of industrial &C
cidents with view to determining
whether there is any relation between
them and the condition of the work
ers in respect to fatigue. With this
idea in view they have made tabula.
tons based both on the days OF the
week and the hours of the working
day
Almost everywhere. it is announced.
accidents incidental to work increase
as the week advances from Sunday.
the industrial day of rest. For in
stance. in the Herault chemical works
there were during a period of cbser-
vaticn A accidents en- Monday. As
on Tuesday. Al on Wednesday, 81 on
Thursday, % en- Friday and Ga on
Saturday.
Again. in Belgium, these figures
were obtained: Monday, 367 acct
dents; Tuesday. 3S5: Wednesday.
40; Thursday. 1925; Friday, 420, and
Saturday, 435. From al the indica-
tions the deduction is made that as
the time gets further from the com
plete days rest the men become less
sure and accidents multiply. The cur
ious drop in the Friday figures is
general and it puzzles the theorists,
no explanation that will hold water
being found for it.
1t seems to be established also that
liability to accidents increases with
the hours of work. The Berlin In
stitute of Insurance finds that on the
average only IS per cent OF industrial
accidents occur in the forenoon to 73
per cent in the balance of the work
ing day, and even in the forenoon
only 2 per cent. happen between 6
and o'clock to 10 between 10 and II.
In nine industrial departments of
France 1894 accidents were noted.
These were distributed as follows:

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

observation-disclosures as theyc0nnot reach tho
diseased portion Of the ear There is only enc
way to cure deafness and that is by constr

The midday drop is due Of course
to the lunch hour; that of and 7
P. NJ. to the comparatively small
number of men who are then at work.
The small figure for l O'Clock is at
least in some degree attributable to
the effects of the noon rest. The
whole array of figures is interpreted
as showing that accidents are in very
large degree due to mental if not to
physical fatigue.-New York Sun.

A Woman's Claim on a Glacier.

Mrs. Mary f. Hart formerly of Los

distinction of being the first person to

while it was still in action. Sidney
Noise with the local architect firm of

trip to the klendike. and he states
that for the first time in nine years
passengers were able to make a land
ing at Muir Glacier. near SkagWay
The glacier is considered far from safe
but Mrs Hart. with natural love OF
adventure. stepped triumphantly
ashore and was followed by Others
eager for the experience of landing
upon the forbidding ice field. 1t was
found that the moraine, a deposit
freighted with precious ore. which is
always carried with the ice in this sec
ton, had already become quite solid
and Mrs Hart forthwith staked out q
claim Mrs Hart has passed It num-
Der of years in Alaska and is con-

The Now lono Veil.

In trailing clouds of glory Will we
come this summer when enveloped In
the new veil. 1t is the nearest APP
proach to materialized rainbow, or a
clo,ld come down to earth that the
mind of man can conceive.
1t is of a diaphanous chiffon, sheer
and fiimy as mist, about four yards
long and a yard wide. But this is
but it's material body which any veil
might own. It's ethereal essense is in its
coloring. which softly shades from
light to dark and which makes 1t the
wonderful thing it is. One in pink
grows from the faintest. most delicate
tones to the deepest, richest rose. fleecy
as a cloud at sunset, as lovely in its
coloring. Another is in the popular
blue. showing blendings from the pal
est to the universal Copenhagen
Another beauty ranges from the elu-
sive tint of champagne through the
rich, modish tans. The ends and
sides are barred with satin stripes in
self-color, which add to its richness.
They are the newest arrivals in the
yelling world and they will probably
futter like captured rainbows from
coaches and autos at st. Martins
Green during horse show week.
