MILL RIPER AGAIN.

The last place in the United States at which
we should have thought it possible for dam
to burst was the valley of Mill River. Inc
last men whom we should have suspected OF
putting up an insecure embankment against
water, were Hayden, Gere & Co. The awful
catastrophe of last May wrote its warning upon
all the Scared fields and devastated villages
of the unhappy valley in characters that will
not soon be efiaccd. The ruins still spoke
their terrible lesson. The fresh graves of the
slain still protested against ignorant tritling
with human life. The Haydcnvilc mill
owners were still surrounded with tho
wrecks Of huge factories, the shape
less heaps of debris under which were
buried 80 much of their money. The
whole neighborhOod busted itself day after
day with precautions against repetition of
the calamity. There were official inspections
of new works, investigations, and surveys.
And here, without warning, dam that has
just been built on the spot where the former
devastation was greatest, gives way under
what seems not to have been an extraordinary
pressure, and for moment the old horror
seems to be upon the valley once more. That
two or three score children were not drowned
when the frozen pond upon which they were
playing thus broke through its barrier was
marvellous kindness of Providence. 1t is
almost equally marvellous that destruction
was not hurled upon the habitations below.
We have no doubt, from the reports thus
far at hand, that tho proprietors of the dam
believed they were constructing it in the best
way. 1t was of granite blocks, cemented. and
bedded in the solid rock. And yet it is cer-
tain that somebody has blundercd. 1t Is a
comparatively simple matter for engineering
skill to build dam which will not break un-
der any force likely to be brought against it.
The pressure of ice and water, the resistance
of the builders materials, the proper shape
and position of the barrier-all these
conditions in the problem are mainly to be
ascertained by arthmetical calculation from
well known data and if the work gives way
except in the face Of some phenomenal exer
ton of the forces of nature against which no
precautions can avail-we may take it to be
morally certain that there has been gross pro-
fessiOnal ignorance in the design or swindling
i'm the materials, or some other criminal I'M
faithfulncss into which the local authorities
are bound to inquire vigorously.

the Parliament that he is stronger than they

The news Of tho latest disaster at sea is

instead of sailors, and when even the stock
jobbing management is not continued long
enough in one set of hands to enable them to do
moro than upset tho work Of their predecessors
and intensity the Generalization of the service
nothing excepting escape from disaster could
surprise the public. We are as yet without
full particulars rs to the origin of the
disaster to the steamship Japan. But there
can DO no doubt about its primary
cause. The best managed steamship line in
the world must at some time or another expect
an accident, but that the succession of acci-
dents Detailing the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company can be the result of anything but
gross mismanagemont, lack of competent OIL
GERS, and lack of discipline in the force, is
impossible.
