Girl Of 19 Wrote Great Horror Tale Many horror novels have been written but, in my opinion, only two have achieved immortaHty â€" "Dracula" and "Frankenstein." The former was written by a man of the tiieatre, Bram Stoker, as the result of a wager. "Frankenstein" was written in a private competi- tion and the author was a beautiful talented girl of nineteen. She was Mary Shelley, the wife of the poet, v/rites "S.B." in Answers. For the reason she wrote the story we must go back to 1816 when, after trying in vain for two years to obtain her father's per- mission to marry Shelley, the couple eloped and spent their honeymoon in France. They took with them Mary's step- sister, Claire, and because Shelley t-ilked so much of his friend Lord Byron, Claire fell in love with him. Creating Man In ^pite of the fact that Byron had a very bad reputation as far far as the ladies were concerned, f^he began to correspond with him. Teach Children Not To Fear Lightning^ â€" But Respect It .\moag the fears that have a strong effect upon children, fear of lightning and thunder claims a special priority. Before a child reaches the age when he learns to i:nderstand the natural causes of an electric storm, he is prone to become upset by the terrifying noise and the light flashes. Fears vanish only when know- ledge comes. This knowledge should, of course, be explained in the terms of the child's understanding. The child must be taught not to tear lightning. But at the same time he must learn to respect its power and its possible danger. The parents should avoid fright- ening the child into respectuig the powers of lightaing. Your explana- tion should be on a rational basis, should take the form of explaining (1) the causes of lightn'ng. (i) how lightning behaves, and (3) what to do to reduce the chance of being struck. Following an easy-to-uuderstaud explanation of what causes lightning and thunder, a chid is ready for some factual knowledge and guid- ance as to how to take care of himself during a storm. We know, for instance, that high objects will more readily be hit by lightning. If your child finds himself on high ground during an electrical storm, it's important that he know enough to go to lower levels ^vliere he will be protected. Besides high objects that attract lightning, there are two other good wclcomers, or conductors. These are water or metal. During a storm, bathers should get. to dry land at once, and one should not handle any farm tools that have metal parts. .\ spade, a hoe. or similar metal- edged tool with attract a bolt of lightning. .\ child shoud be taught that in extreme cases, when he finds him- self on high ground during an electrical storm, it is a wise thing to drop to the ground and lie there. Should lightning stirke in the im- mediate vicinity it will be deflected towards the nearest bush or tree, because both of these are on a higher level than that of the ground. The lower his position, the safer he is. In this connection, however, a word of caution a'jout seeking shel- ter under a bridge. The bridge may shield one from the rain, hut it will serve as a great attraction for the lightning. There are many ways of diverting the youngster's mind from thoughts of fear where lightning is con- cerned. One of them is by rhymes. -Among the well-known riiynies that have helped rid youngsters of the • fear of lightning are the following: I "I must never stand under a tree, 'cause if lightning comes it might trike me." And this one: "When out in the open, lie on the ground; when the lightning is over, alive you'll be found." Another way to abandon fear is to have it understood that when a storm is approaching, the child's job is to close all doors and win- dows. Having him pre-occupied with something to do will take his thoughts away from being fright- ened by lightning. It is of utmost importance that the older members of the family show poise and balance. F'ear is contagious, and any semblance of panic on the part of the older folks will quickly communicate itself to the minds of the children. If your child is afraid of light- ning do not scold, do not nag, do not ridicule! Educators now realize that nagging, scolding, and ridi- culing a child because he shows j signs of fear, do not in any way I lessen the fear or help the child. ! In dealing with children who are ' afraid of liglitning, appeal to their imaguiations. Tell them "man to man" all you know about lightning and explain clearly the thing all people should do to protect them- selves from lightning. This is the I only way you can gradually help them conquer their fears. Eventually Byron invited her to sUy It his villa on the ahore* at Lake Geneva. Cl«ire could not possibly make the journey alone, «o Mary and her husband accompanied her, and they rented a cottage near Byron's villa. It was an idyllic holiday, with picnics, boating on the lake, and midnight bathing. Byron fell in love with Claire; for Shelley and his wife it was an extension of their honeymoon. There was one other member of the party. This was Byi;on's doc- tor, Polidori. Every evening the three men had long discussions, with the two girls as a silent but appreciative audience. One evening, Polidori mentioned that he had seen a mechanical man, made by Jacques de Vauca- son, which could play fourteen se- parate tunes on a flute and the conversation turned to the possi- bilities of making or creating Man. Mary was rather shocked and said that anyone who accomplished such a monstrous feat would prob- ably die of fright. The discussion developed into an argument, and finally Byron suggested a competi- tion between the five of them, to see who could write the most hor- rific story. The next day Claire, Byron and Polidori started writing. Shelley had refused to take part in the com- pction; while Mary mooned around trying to worlj out a plot. M\ she could think of was the mechanical flute player. -After a few days Byron gave up. He was a man of quickly changing moods, and once his enthusiasm waned he tired of the ide.i. Claire also gave up and the two of them went for long walks. Polidori persevered and finished a story about vampires which was eventually published. Mary could not find a plot, and one evening she went up to her room undecided whether or not to give up too. .She stood by ihe win- dow looking out at the lake, but moonlight, reflected from the water, hurt her eyes, and she closed the shutters. It was at the moment, according to her diary, that the plot came to her. .\s she stood there in the dark, figures seemed to take form in front of her eyes. She shut her eyes, but the fig- ure persisted. Her im.igination ti;ok control and against her will she was forced to watch the story taking shape. "I saw the pale student of unhal- lowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretch- ed out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, stir with an uneasy half-vital motion." Author Terrified Her imagination showed the cre- ator of this monster rushing away in horror, praying that the spark he had given to the Thing would fi'de away. Finally, this man cre- ator falls asleep, and when he awakes thinks that it has been j'jst a nightmare. But he hears a movement at his sides and sees â€" 'the horrid thing stand at his bed- side, looking on him with yoliow. watery, but speculative eyes." Mary did not sleep that night, ?nd with the first light of dawn she was putting down in words the picture her imagination had shown her. She called the scientist Franken- stein. The monster had no name, but she described it vividly as eight feet high, with yellowed and shrivelletl skin, and colourless eyes. She made Frankenstein to horror- •tricken that he had a nervou* breakdown and was ill for month*. When he recovered tlie monster had disappeared. He hoped it h«4 destroyed itself. But two years later it reappeared and strangled Frankenstein'* younger brother! No Stopping Her Once she had started, Mary could not stop, although, as she admit- ted, she was absolutely terrified the whole time she was writing. She could not sleep, and spent every available moment on the story, knowing she would never know an- other quiet or happy moment until she had it on paper and out of her system. She made the monster demand a mate and made Frankenstein con- sent. When the second monster is almost complete, however. Frank- enstein begins to think of the pos- sible consequences to the world if his monsters have the power of propagation. He realizes tliat they might eventually destroy all human life, and he smashes t!ie second monster to pieces. He tries to smash the first one, too, but it tells him that although it is his creation, it is also his mas- ter. Frankenstein flees and the mon- ster disappears in the snowy wastes and is never seen again. When at last it was published, she exclaimed: "Oh, if I can only frighten my readers as much as I was frightened that night in the Swiss cottage!' Tailpiece : Mary wrote many more novels, for after the untimely death of Shelley in a boating accident she had to write or starve. But she never wrote another horror story. Claire had a daughter by Byron, but they were never married. Eventually he left her, and she died an old and embi"".ored woman. WHAT ABOUT A "FALL- BY-FALL" ENCORE? A Swiss radio commentator plans to take a microphone with him when he climbs the 14.780- I'oot Matterliorn. the greatest moun- tain in the .Alps. He will give radio listeners a stepâ€"by-step account of parts of the ascent. .Another commentator will follow his progress from a plane circling the peak. The climbing commentator's iirst broadcast will be from the -Alpine hut at the base of the jagged "Pyramid." His second will be after he has been roped for the cHmb'The next day. His third and fourth will be made as he climbs the sheer peak. His fifth will be from the two- foot wide platform at the sum- mit of the Matterhorn â€" a "rtizor- edge" thousands of feet above the surrounding green-white glaciers.
