TRAVELLING Ely SEA.
The MuItIfnrious Requirements ofhn
Ocean Passenger steamer.

First-class passengers must have
large and handsome dining saloon; IN
deed. the commissariat department
could not be managed at all if it were
not dealt with en- bloc. The ladies must
have drawing and music room. The
studious must have library. The men
must have u smokng-room. Everybody
must have a bed. and all must have
room for exercise in the open air when
inclined for il. Similar but less elab-
crate couveniences must be provided
for those who wish to travel in the same
ship but who are unable or unwilling
TO pay the highest fare. In many cases
a third class of accommodations is given
for emigrants and those to whom cost
is a matter of the first moment. Ac-
cording to their several ranks all these
passengers must be waited upon. so that
large body Of stewards and servants
must be carried in addition TO the crew
Of navigators and engineers.
With this large number of people TO
be fed. cooking arrangements of the
most elaborate and complete kind must
be made. Provisions must be stored in
such n manner as to remain fresh and
good throughout the voyage. and for
this purpose steam refrigerating ma
chinery and cold storage chambers are
usually provided al the expense Of some
of the cargo space \ practically unlim-
tied supply of fresh water must be al
Vowed to everybody on board, and yet
the arrangement for its supply must be
such that everything like waste shall
be prevented.
The passenger is by nature a Grum-
bier. and being shut up for days to-
gether on an island from which there
is no escape, with little occupation but
to find fault, he must be an angel in
deed if he uttered no complaint. 1t is
the constructors province, If possible,
TO shut his mouth by anticipation.
This huge floating caravansary has
to be lighted, warmed and ventilated.
The progress in lighting by incandes-
cent electric lamps without vitiating
the atmosphere has been an immense
advantage to passenger steamers, even
though il be a costly light.
The maintenance of an equable tenn
perature, with pure fresh air free from
drauGhts. warm enough in cold eli
mates and cool enough in hot ATTITUDES,
presents almost insurmountable diff
culties. Where spaces are so contracted
and hooks and corners so numerous the

Mexican .JustiCe

In Mexico the laws delays are less
vexatious than in the United States.
Indeed. one hears nothing at all about
delay in the administration of Mexican
justice, a short time ago paymaster
went down into Sonora with between
$4,000 and $1,000. He stopped over night
at a ranch, where he was robbed and
murdered. The robbers were caught by
the local police, but the magistrate dis
charged them. Then the government
took hand in the affair. The robbers
were caught again and shot Immediate
ly, the magistrate who had acquitted
them was shot, the ranchman at whose
house the robbery occurred was shot,
some distant accessories after the fact
were shot. In all, 16 men were shot,
and now life and property are tho safer
