Broadway and the Strand.

Broadway, New York, is the more or
less exact counterpart of the London
Strand. 1t is actually broader, but It
appears more narrow because the
houses are so much higher, and 1t is
little straighter because it is a made
road, not a road evolved from what
was once path along river mud. The
general effect is identical. There are
the same kinds Of shops and crowd
of the same type passing to or from
the business quarter of the city. But
as l have said, one rubs ones eyes
looking out at the crowd upon the
sidewalk. 1t is the Strand crowd
cosmopolitan, varied, people touching
one another so closely that the tops Of
their heads appear to form another
tier on the street, a tier paved with
hats instead of wood blocks or gran
tie sets. There 1t is, the crowd. But
1t appears to stop still. In ones first
astonishment one thinks that all these
people nre waiting for a procession to
pass. One cannot believe that they
are the procession. Nevertheless as
the slow trolley passes onward one
realizes that the crowd is actually in
motion-that 1t is the thing itself, not
the procession. 1t lie an extraordinary
shock, this first impression of the land

This may sound strange. There is no

An engineer wishing to demonstrate
the wondrous power of the dynamo
held an iron hammer in his hand some
inches from it. The dynamo drew this
hammer from his hand with a clang
as a magnet would needle. Doubt
less many persons who have gone he
low at some time or other have subse-
quently wondered how their watches
have become "deranged," ignorant of
the fact that 1t was done by electricity,
which plays havoc with the delicate
mechanism of watch.

words, his study-to receive back the
lost spoon. Hugo was delighted to get

Rossetti and His China.

Ford MADDOX Hueffer tells in "Mem-
prizes and Impressions" story of Ros-
seth and his china collecting. A GER
tain potter had acquired valuable set
Of Chinese tea things of which he had
duplicates made in his pottery. Then
he got an agent to sell the limitations
to Rossetu for large sum.
Coming to tea the next day." relates
Mr. Hueffer, "he remarked to Rossetti,
Hello, Gabriel, where did you get those
clumsy imitationsT And eventually he
sold the originals to Rossetti for a
figure considerably over that at which
Rossetti had bought the forgeriee. At
each visit thereafter he brought one
Of the forged cups in his pocket, and
while Rossetti's back was turned sub
stituted the forgery for one Of the
genuine cups. At the end of the series
of visits, therefore, Rossetti once more
possessed the copies and the potter the
genuine set, which he sold, believe, to
NJ. Tissot."

STATISTICS SHOW A
DECREASE IN SUICIDES.
Percentage In Western Cities Greater
Than In the Eastern.

One out of every 5000 persons living
in the cities of this country last year
committed suicide, or, to be exact, 1877
persons out of every 100000 These
figures are based on statistics from 100
cities and are taken from an article by
Frederick L. Hoffman in the Spectator.
In the preceding year the rate was 21
out of every 100000.
Although the data show that the per-
centage Of suicides is far greater in
large than in small cities. New York
is a startling exception. In New York
last year the rate was only 1870 to
the 100000, whereas from 1900 to 1909
San Francisco averaged 90, nearly
three times as many.
Mr.. Hoffman finds that the western
cities have heavier rates than the east
ern and awards San Francisco the
doubtful honor of leading all other
cities in the percentage Of suicides.
This is strikingly brought out in sta
tistics for the last year, which show
that San Francisco had 42.2 suicides
to every 100000 persons, while Sacra-
mento was second with 1876. Oakland
and Los Angeles were third and fourth
respectively. And even San Diego was
well in the first ten, giving California
FIVE cities out of that number.
A comparison of suicide statistics
with those Of business conditions and
business failures leads to the conclu-
sion that the two are closely related.
When financial conditions are bad sui
cides are generally the heaviest. Thus
In the panic year Of 1907 and the fol-
lowing year when the effect of the de-
preston was still widespread the num-
ber of suicides was exceptionally large
In 1908 the average was 21.S, the high
est attained in twenty years, and the
actual number of suicides in the cities
upon which the figures are based was
4,5S2.
From available statistics In Ger
many 1t is found that the rate there
for the year 1909 was 22.3, and it is
also shown that the rate has slowly
but surely increased. Particularly no.
ticeable is the increase Of suicides
among women, the average in 1909 be-
ing 101 to the 100000.
"The German data" says Mr.. Hoff-
man, would seem to warrant the con-
clusion that the general suicide rate
of well developed, commercial ?
prosperous country reaches a maxi
mum point which will rarely exceed
25 to the 100000 of population"
In the area covered in the United
States for the five years ended with
1908, which includes about 55 per cent
Of the total population, the suicide
rate for men was 24.2 to the 100000
and the rate for. women 6.6 and for
both sexes combined 1911. These fig
ures offer the conclusion that the sui
eide tendency among both men and
women in this country is much less
than in Germany.

singularly tactless gentleman of the

count and, twitching suddenly hair
out of the back of his head, ex-
claimed: Excuse me, count; one soil
tary white hairp D'Orsay contrived to
conceal his annoyance, but bided his

head, exclaiming, Pardon, Pow-ail;

FISH PICKS BERRIES.
Angler Saw Carp Thus Engaged and
Caught Him.

Fred Vosen, fishing in the Lee (Mass.)
reservoir. heard on shore noise that
he at first supposed was made by a
to be big carp.
He watched the fish for some min
utes and says that along the shore
stra wberries hung over the water a
distance from four to ten inches from
the surface, and he was surprised to
see the big fish bobbing its head out
of the water and grabbing the berries.
He watched the carp repeat the opera
ton half a dozen times. He then tried
his bait and succeeded in hooking the
fish. but had to shoot it before he
could land it. The carp weighed thir-
ty-two pounds.
