According to reports from Pittsburp
where union labor leaders held n gen.
cral parlcy to consider conduct OF
the strike, managers of the plants
are seeking now to take the offensive.
Not content with merely holding
what forces remain with them, thew
are said to be trying to induce wayer-

agents of the steel workers union in

Tragedy OF Dead Cities.
Manchester Guardian.)

There arc many dead and dying
cities in the world, and they lie scat
tered in the most unheard of places
from Siam to Rhodesa, from Mexi-
co to Peru, to India to the hidden sol.
itudes of Central Asia. 1t should give
us pause to think of their number
and OF our own littleness of the scale
Of time. 1t should teach us, though
it has never taught any of them yet
how transitory are even the mightiest
habitations of men, by how slender
threads great empires are held up
from ruin.
None of the men and women who
throngcd the strets of these cities
could ever have conceived that places
so full of the trust and vigor Of life
would one day be buried in the strang-
ling jungle of lie, without sound OF
wheel or human voice, silent under
the desert sand. There are many OF
these cities in the East, and it is
often a puzzle to know what led To
their desertion. After the fashion of
the East the traveller will be told all
manner of fanciful histories, for
even today, the Oriental accounts all
material and reasonable explanations
secondary to metaphysical abstrac-
tions.
So, according to local legends, these
cities have been left on account of
course, miraculous events, prophecies,
portents, the sudden wishes of royal
ty, or the hysterical visions of holy
men, but never thought the male
facts of the being which was prob
ably really responsible for the cvac-
uation of at least half of thcm-the
anopheline mosquito and her legacy
of malaria.

become very dry. The storm which
seems to have been the "tail-end" OF
the hurricane and storm of the I4tf
which swept the southern coasts
seems to have been general over the
State and Eastern sections, break
