reach in a yard-wide strip nearly three
times around the world. If in addi-

taken into account, the total would be
doubled, affording enough material to

A recent analysis of the manner in
which persons in this city who are
unable to find employment in their
regular lines of work still manage to
make living has brought to light
some surprising facts concerning the
manner in which the other half lives.
Fires, generally looked upon as being
merely destructive of property and af-
fording means of livelihood only to
firemen, do as a matter of fact afford
a means of subsistence to many thou
sands of persons during the winter
months. In this condition, too, is
found an explanation of the great
number of unemployed persons who
habitually follow the fire engines and
congregate at fires. The changing OF
fire gong in almost any street is the
signal of an exodus from doorways.
cellars and other sundry hooks of a
small army of pursuing tramps. The
reason is found not in any en-
thusiasm on the part Of the unem-
ployed for attending fires, but because
at each conflagration during cold
weather nearby residents rarely fail
to appear on the scene with hot cof-
fee and sandwiches. While these
are intended for the firemen. a gen.
erous share usually falls into the
hands Of the attendant tramps
Another and more dignified method by
which persons unable to obtain work
ia their regular field still manage to
keep the wolf from the door has to do
with actors. A poor theatrical season
such as that of this year naturally
throws many Thespans out of work.
The analysis in question shows how
ever that there is a considerable de-
mand for their services in field in
which they have never had anv ex-
perience, that is, as floor walkers.
Store managers are always anxious to
secure actors for such positions be-
cause of their appearance and ability
to adapt themselves to the needs of
the job. But in spite of the fact that
there are always a large number of
actors out of work, few of them care
to make a living by acting the part of
fioorwalker.

= ONE HOMICIDE A DAY.
Vet New York Is Safe Place As Per-
centage is Merry Small.

New York, Feb. 1S.-That this city
averages slightly more than one homl-
eide a day, Sundays included, is
point brought out by the coroners
statistics for 1902, just completed,
which include total of 372 cases OF
this sort. Deaths due to violence not
including homicides numbered 2067, or
an average of about five a day. While
on the surface these figures may APP
pear 10 indicate q high percentage at
danger to the resident or visitor III
New York closer analysis reveals
an absolutely opposite condition. The
chances of any given individual being
the victim of homicide during "A
year is only one in four and one-haif
million, while the chance of death
from accidental violence is only about
one in a million. The tabu;atiol Of
the various causes of violent deaths
reveals some rather interesting com
parsons. For instance in spite o.
the general impression to the con-
trarv. horse vehicles We're responsible
for seventy nine deaths as compared
to forty-six caused by automobiles.
The elevated surface and subway lines
account for 119 more deaths, exactly
the same number as were caused by
gas asphyxiation. Drownings num-
bered 2O9, and deaths from burns and
scalds PA, in which the careless hand
ling of matches accounted for 80, one
third of them among adults. SIX
persons We're unfortunate in getting
food lodged in the larynx with fatal
effect, and 637 were accounted for by
falling rock and timber, boiler explo-
sons and the like. The most popu-
lar means of suicide was by gas, while
drowning was the least popular. But
in spite of all this New York, taking
into consideration it's size, remains
city of unusual safety.

The fashionable mother who refused
to allow her daughter to study
physiology at school because she
thought the colored illustrations in the
text book inartistic and could not see
any propriety in people knowing
about their insides" must have been
far behind the times, if the interest
displayed by the public as well as by
physicians in the work which the
American Medical Association has in
augurated may be taken as an indica-
| ton. Believing that it is not merely
the duty of the physician to heal he
sick, but also to spread knowledge of
new discoveries in a manner CALICO
| lated to decrease the danger of sick
ness, this organization has already
| prepared a number of a series Of
pamphlets dealing with the advances
in medical science which are furnished
| free upon request How far this oc-
| lief is correct is shown by the re-
quests already received at the head
quarters of the organization in
| Chicago. In these pamphlets are dis
cussed the wonderful advance which
has been made in medical science of
| late years by means of animal eX-
iperimentatiOn and in the manner in
which such formerly fatal diseases as
| diphtheria, spinal meningitis, and
smallpox have been conquered. In
New York alone since 1894 the diph
i liberia death rate has been so de-
creased as to result in the saving Of
$4,000 lives. Equally important adj
vances have been made in other fields
which would have been impossible ex
| cept for animal experimentation.
Even in the case of cancer advance
| is being made. OF course it is not
expected that these pamphlets will en-
able the reader to become his own
physician, but thy will, it is hoped,
enable him to take a more intelligent
| interest in the advance of medical
| science
