Comfort

A new ship came into the harbor two
days ago, the forerunnT of new
feet and a new epoch.
When the old National line about
fifteen years ago sailed its 5,O0O-ton
steamers into this port it was a seTi-
ously debated question in the news
papers and elsewhere whether their
size was not in excess Of the limits Of
prudence and safety. Now the 5000
ton ship Is a small, second rate boat.
ALI the lines have ships of 10000 tons,
The two great Cunarders-
and L.ucania-run to $4,000 tons The
North German Lloyd Company is
building two ships still bigger, each
having a length of GAO feet, while the
White Star people are building one
Of the enormous length of 7O4 feet, the
biggest ship ever dreamed Of, not ex-
cepting the Great Eastern.
The progress has been equally great
in other directions. Fifteen years ago
the Alaska and Arizona were "grey-
hounds" with their maximum of thir-
teen knots an hour. Now the liner
that cannot make twenty knots is
simply mot in it."
In luxury the Improvement has been
not less great. The new North Ger
man Lloyd ship now in the harbor
is the first Of a coming feet, with two
great promenade decks above the main
deck. She is correctly described as a
'nine-story sky-scraper." A little while
ago the main deck was the tepmost
reach for passengers. In a little while
the ship that has less than two prone
an aitiquated affair.
All these changes mean luxury. But
do they mean comfort in sea travel? ?
The twin screw requires a broad bot
tom, and the broad-bottoan ship rolls
upon very small pruvocation. Every
addition to ''top7hamper'-that is to
say, every additional deck means top
heaviness and an increased tendency
to roll uncomfortably.
The increase in speed also has rob-
bed the voyage of much of its delight.
The passenger who is never seasick
feels cheated of lris share of the sea
when at the end of six days he makes
port. The passenger who is seasick is
just beginning to get we'll enough to
enjoy himself when the voyage comes
to an untimely end.
After all, the old, slow ships We're
the ships for any genuine lover of the
sea to sail in, but in a few years we
shall know them no more, and the voy-
age will become as hurried and hus-
tllng as Pullman car journey, unless
some one Of the lines shall have the
nous to keep in service fleet of good
old-fashioned sea boats that give the
knowing passenger a voyage for his
money.-New York World

Small Need of an Army.

The United States army consists Of
about $4,000 men and $500 officers,
there being one officer, it will be OBJ
served, to every ten men, whereas in
European military Establishments
there is only one officer to every twenty
men. Now that the possible Indian
wars are all over, and that there is not
the shadow Of possibility that the
United Sta ties will be invaded by hos
tile army for any measurable length Of
coming time, the question may well be
asked.and is being asked, for what pur-
pose is 1t that we maintain an unneces-
sary force at such an unnecessary ex-
pense?-New Orleans Nmes-Democrat.
