mount up to an enormous total in 12

give some interesting figures, puring
a ten-year period from 1895. this
company paid out about (9,000 acci

classifications follow: Nail In foot,

The new and complicated machln-
constantly being introduced - Into ;
our factories and workshop sacrifices,
thousands of lives a year- more. In
fact, than we lost in any battle of
the civil war. During 1904, the In
dustries of the State of New Tork
alone were responsible for 700 deaths
more thjm twice the number of Amer
ican, killed in the Spanish - war '
wmve more tnan tv.wo persona were
more or las seriously injured In the
factories an A: shops of the Empire
State alone in-cthejt tingle . year.
Workers in metal and makers of ma
chinery and apparatus were the chief
eunrerer, contributing 70 f atmae s to
the list; the manufacture of artificial
tee coat five lives; every Industry, in
fact, was represented by Its gruesome
quota. Even such seemingly harmless
occupations as those of the tailor, mil
liner and laundry worker had, charged
up to their account five lives, while the
making of chemicals, oils and explo
sives were responsible , for seventeen
deaths.
Turning to the statistics for the
whole country we find that the pedes
trtan suffers most from accidental
mishaps. Of all last year' accidents,.
14.14 per cent, happened, to unlucky
pedestrian, while . the people Injured
in . railway travel made only 4.77 per
cent of the total. Seekers of amuse
ment and recreation suffered 6.16 per
eent -er ail tne injuries, wmie the bi
cycle was responsible for 4.06 per cent.
The-horse, the traditional friend of
man, was accountable for 12 per cent.
of all accidents of whatever descrip
tion that happened tn this country in
the course of the year. The much
vilified motor car, In comparison with
other accident-causing agencies, seems
surprisingly Innocuous.
. In the early days of coal mining, es
pecially In the anthracite fields of east
ern Pennsylvania, fatal accidents were
of such, frequent occurrence that -they
scarcely aroused sensational Interest
lb 1S70 more than five mine-workers
out of every thousand met death
through causes due directly or indi
rectly, to .4helr occupation,,. Finally
laws - were-) passed by , the t different
States compelling mine-owners ana
managers te exercise more care in
their operations and to- conduct their
business with more regard for human
life. This.' remedy has been fairly ef
fective, tbuk mining la still one of. the
most dangerous of ait occupations. At
figured out that Z.8t per thousand em
ployes .were' annually fatally injured
by s accidents in the .anthracite, and
bituminous mines of the United States.
Aa the reports upon which these fig
ures were based were .very incomplete,
It Is undoubtedly true that even this
appalling number- in a considerable
under-eetlmate of , the human sacrifice
demanded each year that -the fires' of
Industry- and commerce may, be kept
