What the September Magazines Contain of Interest to Readers.
An unusual collection of 11 pictures of the 'Eastland' disaster and rescue work accompany an article by Searle Hendee appearing in the September Popular Mechanics Magazine. These views give a clear idea of the general scene of the accident, show the degree of submergence, and indicate how it was possible, with thousands of persons rushing toward the spot and with numerous water craft swarming around, for nearly a thousand human beings to lose their lives.
Besides the "Eastland" views, the September Magazine contains 347 other illustrations. The first installment of a series of three articles under the general head "Four Years in the Navy," shows the activities of the United States apprentice seaman during the six months' preliminary training he receives at one of the government stations. With drills, educational work, boating, target practice, and amusements, the young man is transformed from a civilian of careless or indifferent habits into a mentally trained and developed physical type having a definite purpose in life.
Every phase of the great European war is shown in 15 consecutive pages of views, and a page view and an article give an idea of the operation and action of the German aerial torpedo, a recent development in this field. Other page views or groups of views in the September magazine are: "Workmen Wrecking High Wall beneath Their Feet," "Destruction in Wake of Cincinnati Tornado," "Model of Panama Canal in Operation," "Derelict Found by Cutter in Atlantic Lanes," "Primitive Processes in Field and Home," etc.
