A Queation OF ahina.

The fundamental principle of naviga
ton, and therefore the controlling ele
mentary law Of maritime strategy, Is
the physical law Of displacement-that
a floating vessel invariably weighs
neither more nor less than the quantity
Of water which Its Immersed part dis
places. 1t Is consequence OF this
law that the weight of ship of given
size is constant. Within certain limits
a builder may distribute the weight
as he pleases. He may assign so much
to hull, so much to engine Of propul'
sion and the remainder to cargo. Fol
given speed, the weight Of engines
for ships Of the same size will be much
the same. The builder, therefore, must
choose between assigning weight to hui
or giving 1t to cargo. A very strong
hull means reduced carrying capacity,
a great carrying capacity means hull
Of the lightest possible construction
To these elementary conditions Is due
the difference between q ship Of wa.
o1d merchant ship; themerchant ship
must necessarily be constructed to car,
~ the greatest weight of cargo possible,
consistent with a hull strong enough fol
navigation, and with propulsion euf.
flcient for the speed required In ttf
business.
The moment the hull fs unnecessarily
strengthened the ship will cease to be
able TO compete as carrier with other
ships Of the same size and speed which,
having lighter hulls, can carry more
cargo. A ship built with a hull spe
eially strengthened in order to with
stand the various shocks of battle can
not In peaceful trade pay as a com.
mercial enterprise, and the merchant
ship, with Its hull lightened down to the
margin Of safety, can never be exposed
to the same rough treatment for which
the man"ofwar, with It's specially
strengthened framework, Is prepared

Science at Fault.

In the trial OF a suit for $4,000
personal damages, at Columbus, Ohio,
a few days ago, the Judge decided that
the plaintiff must submit to an exam
nation by the X rays, as demanded
| by the defense, to ascertain the nature
of the alleged injuries to the plain.
tif's bones. On the other hand, a suit
has just been commenced at the Chi
cago, for $4,000 personal damages,
against recognized expert in the
operation of extracting bullets found
by the aid Of the rays. The plaintiff
in this case had been carrying the
bullet in his breast for two years, and
although it did not trouble him. his
employer, q physician, advised him to
undergo the operation. He alleges
that the expert kept his body exposed
thirty-fve minutes to the rays; that
he suffered much while the bullet was
extracted, and as result q sore on
his breast two inches in diameter has
developed, which will probably never
heal entirely.
The injurious effects to patients
caused by the application of the X
rays have been heretofore noticed. In
some cases, it has been noticed, when
the head of patient has been exposed
to the action of the rays, that at the
points exposed to the rays the hair has
come out never to grow again, while
in other cases sore has been devel-
oped, as in the present case. As be.
tween carrying bullets or other foreign
substances in the body, or sustaining
permanent injuries from the effects of
the rays, it will be difficult for suffer-
ers to decide "whether to suffer the
ills they have or flee to others they
know not Of" There is evidently
some hitch in the matter, and much
yet to be learned of the effects of the
rays puon the body. Prudent people
will naturally hesitate before submit
ting to their application until science
shall ascertain Just how and when it
will be safe in any case to apply them.

r "People" or "Persons,n

( A correspondent Of the Critic IS re-
minded by something that there Is one
word which is misused by every jour-
nalist and every author wherever the
english language Is written-the word
people" The misuse complained Of
consists In using people" as the plural
of person." and an instance Of 1t Is
credited to Mr.. Howells, who Ia criti-
clsed for writing Of three people, sit
ting in room. The authority who crit
1clses him points out that people" Is n
collective noun, and can properly be ap-
piled only to nation, tribe, a class,
or community, and that such phrase
as fifty people were injured" Is ''slop-
py English" "For twenty-five years."
says this complainant, II have kept my
eye on this little word people, and
have yet to find single English or
American author who does not misuse
It."
It seems to have occurred to him that
grammar is subseryient to language,
ana notAanguage to grammar. If the
best British and American authors for
the last twenty-five years have occa-
sionally used people" in the sense of
persons" there would seem to be war
rant for the suspicion that in the pres
ent status Of the English language that
usage Is permissible. Persons" Is
hard-worked word, and writer's whose
literary ear is sensitive will hardly be
estopped from relieving the strain on it
at times by using people" In Its stead.
Whenever the misuse of familiar word
has become universal, it seems safe to
recognize that the word as, misused is
necessary to convenience of expression;
and when any word IN any sense has
proved itself necessary, it might as we'll
have space allowed 1t in the dictionary
and be ACKNOWLEDGMENT Weekly.
