FAST TRAINS ARE SAFEST.

They Are the Special Favorites, and Extra
Attention IL Given to Them.
George Ethelbert Walsh contributes an
article on Running the Fast Express" to
St. Nicholas Mr.. Walsh says:
When the Empire State express or the
Congressional limited rushes across the
country at the rate of 20 miles an hour,
making mile posts and trees skip by in
fantastic disorder, the mind of many q
passenger is troubled by question that
continually arises at every sharp SWAY or
jolt Of the cars, SIS there not danger in
such rapid travelingP"
In his seat forward the engineer would
reply grimly to this question with mega
tive shake of the head, and the general SUI
perintendent Of the road or the train dis
patcher in his Office at headquarters would
second this answer with a more emphatic
mo"
But Why's According to all the mathe
NAUTICAL rules we learned at school and
college, the faster moving body swings
along a certain course, the more difficult
il is to swerve 1t from its path, and the
more terrible is the collision If 1t should
strike an obstacle.
Why, then, is not rapid running more
dangerous than slow? Because the en-
gines used for this service are larger, bet
ter equipped and better cared for than any
Others, the engineer would reply. "They
are provided with every modern device to
prevent accident, and, though they fairly
fly along the track, they are never beyond
our immediate control. And, then, we're
more wide awake and alert for danger"
1.-THE danger is less for the reason that
everybody along tho line is looking out
for the rapid fliers, - would say the train
dispatcher. "They have the right of way,
and we always clear the tracks for the ex-
presses They are special fayorites, and
we give extra careful attention to them.

Defects of Our Naval Academy.
Ira N. Hollis, in the Atlantic.


The present system at the naval academy
does not supply the needs of a modern
navy, and it too often instilIs into the
youthful minds of the cadets the vicious
notion that the commanding officer is above
the knowledge of every detail of his own
ship During the course considerable atten-
ton is given 10 mathematics seamanship
gunnery and navigation, and a compara-
lively small amount of engineering, Ian
guage and the natural sciences. At the end
of three years the cadets are separated into
two divisions one of line cadets and one of
engineer cadets. The latter receive one
year in engineering, and the former an adj
gunnery. BY seamanship is here meant the
handling of a ship under sail. Those who
pass the examinations graduate at the end
of their fourth year, and serve two years
at sea before receiving commissions. These
two years are supposed to give the gradu-
ates a more practical knowledge of their
professions. The line cadets usually find
to pick up what they can about boats, guns
and the management of men on deck. They
are required to spend some time in the
engine rooms when the ship is steaming
but without responsibilities or duties, very
much as tourists crossing the Atlantic visit
they are ordered home for examination,
and receive commissions in the line of the
marine corps, if vacancies can be found for
them. The engineer cadets pass through
the same stage, except that their two years
at sea are spent with the machinery. They
receive commissions as assistant engineers.
Two or three star graduates are yearly
transferred to the corps OF naval con-
structors and remain on shore for duties
at navy yards and at the department, in
connection with the designing and building
of the hullS of ships

ago everybody was looking over the East
for money they are now finding their sup

country. but also the shore line, bays, etc,
where the seals make their homes. Mr..
Buffield stated in his report that seals were
being killed in considerable number. He
witnessed two slaughterings. He makes
no comment on the decline of seal life,
which Is at present at issue between the
United States and Great Britain.
