Writing for the newspapers has I'M
d -nne great change. When I first
". ut to New York in 1872. almost all
hers reports were written in prosy,
solemn fashion. the way the English,
PISS did; and constructed In the
same way. A certain formula for ac-
counts of public meetings, another
far murder cases, another for trials
lii courts. Reports of confiagrations
We're all alike.
Then Amos Cummings burst into
fun flower. He had been compost
.sisr on the old Tribune under Greeley
AID sub-editor while Dana was
ltlrre. Greeley recognized the young
>san's ability, but Amos was quick
lupered and decisive and gifted
with an eloquence of profanity quite
beyond ordinary description. Tradi-
ton has it that Greeley discharged
him for "insolence and profanity"
Dana Immediately made him man
aging editor of the Sun, and Cum
niings began to develop some of the
things that long had fingered in his
active mind Among the first was to
change the quality Of the Suns news
reports, and to make them interest
ing as well as important; to develop
the sentimental, the pathetic, the
heroic. the belligerent, when they
happened in real life, the same way
as The novelist did in his stories Of
fictinn. .s
Ile taught the boys to call their
productions stories instead of arti-
cles- stories of human interest"
Amos ceased to be managing editor
of the Sun in 1872, but the seeds Of
good reporting that he had planted
were watered and nourished by his
successors until the entire staff had
caught the spirit of his genius

A Severe Critic

He had bought an old violin from
secondhand dealer, and on arriving
home decided to try the instrument
out.
He found his piece of music, and
soon the air was filled with the re-
suits of his flying bow.
Hearing the unusual sounds, his
Scots landlady suddenly appeared a
the foot of the stairs.
"Mr. Ham, she shouted, her fingers
in her ears, what are We daein'?"

Would Scrap Gibraltar

Surrounded by the worlds Oldest
civilizations, the Mediterranean yet
has never been completely explored
for its fauna. This Is peculiar owing
to the virtual separation of the Medi-
terranean waters from those of the
Atlantic because Of the shallowness
of the strait Of Gibraltar. A Danish
photographer who has made a life
study of the Mediterranean proposes
that Gibraltar, which forms d natural
barrier for marine currents, be tun-
neled or blasted away so as to estab-
fish better circulation between the
ocean and the sea. A bigger channel,
he believes, would lead to phenomenal
changes in the Mediterranean bed,
