In Two Countries.

In America my neighbor can own
piece of land adjoining my house, and
can, after long years, build on his land
in such way as to take the light away
from every window in my house which
oyerlooks his lot. In England, after a
man has had the uninterrupted use of
light and air for sixty years he acquires
an easement, which is one of Judge
Blackstone's ''incorporeal heredita-
ments," and this has to be respected by
the owner of adjacent land, who, ac-
cording to English, and, for the matter
of that, Roman law, must so enjoy his
own rights and property as not to inter-
fere with the established right and prop
critics Of others.
In England If my neighbor sees me
building q house with windows over
looking his property, and in such man
ner as to tend to preclude him from
building himself at some future time, he
at once sets to work to put up an obstruc-
ton against my windows, which forces
me to come to terms with him. This
may be arranged by payment of small,
in fact, entirely nominal, annual rent OF
few cents in recognition of his rights,
and this will prevent my acquiring an
easement over his land. Which of the
two systems is the more equitable / will
not venture an opinion, but leave the
reader to judge. Detroit News

AM AMERICAN STEAMSHIP LINE.


Something About the Famous Steamers
That TIourished Before the War.
The most important American rival
which foreign corporations have en-
countered in transatlantic steam naviga-
ton was the famous Collins line. Mr.. E.
z. Collins had grown up in the freight
and passenger business between New
York and Liverpool, and in 1S47 he began
to interest New York merchants in
plan to establish new steamship line
Two years later company which he had
organized launched four vessels-the At
lantic, Pacific, Arctic and Baltic.
They were literally subsidized, the
government paying the company 1855, 900
yearly for carrying the mails; conditions
imposed being that the vessels should
make twenty-six voyages every year, and
that the passage from port to port should
be better in point of time than that made
by the Cunarders. The Collins line met
the conditions successfully, its vessels
making westward trips that averaged
eleven days, ten hours and twenty-one
minutes, as compared with twelve days,
nineteen hours and twenty-six minutes
by the British steamships.
The vessels of the Collins line cost up
ward of 800, 900 each. This was great
deal of money to put into steamship in
those days, and as the largest of the
fleet was considerably smaller than the
smallest of the steamships that now ply
between New York and European ports,
there was naturally a good percentage
of cost in the appointments for the COM
fort of the passengers. Many features
that have since come to be regarded as
indispensable or board ship were intro
duced by the Collins vessels.
Among them none attracted more
comment when the Atlantic arrived at
Liverpool, at the end of her first voyage,
May 10, 1849, than the barber shop. En-
glish visitors to the vessel, as she lay at
anchor in the Mersey, saw for the first
time the comfortable chair, with its
movable head rest and foot rest, in which
Americans are accustomed to recline
while undergoing shaving. Another
novelty was smoking room in a house
on the afterpart of the deck.-John H.
Gould in Scribner's.
