SAFETY on water and Land

The British board of trade has is
sued statement Of the number of
lives lost by accident in British mer-
chant ships during the past year.
This statement shows the average
loss to be about five-siXths of / per
cent of the number of men employed
The percentage of lives lost in sailing
vessels is somewhat larger than that
of steamers.
There were 21S,224 men employed on
British ships registered in the United
Kingdom. or these 56,095 were en-
ployed on sailing ships and 1852, 100 on
steamships. The latter suffered loss
of S13 seamen and "a passengers, max
ing total Of SAT. Sailing Vessels lost
! ,O2e seamen and 81 passengers.
The British statement is interesting
in confiection With the report OF the
United States inspector general that
person Is very much safer journeying
on sea than on land, whether on bus
mess or pleasure bent.
According to this report, of 600,000,-
600 journeys made last year only 221
ended in fatal accident Otherwise
stated, the percentage of fatalities was
00000036 This very small fraction
means that a man who has ordinary
luck can make 2,715, ,403 trips on YES
sells propelled by steam before his turn
comes to be drowned or blown up.
Nevertheless, it will probably be long
before people who have read the story
of the fate of the wrecked Sailer and
the 100 victims who went down with
her can bring themselves to believe
that ships are, as whole, safer con-
veyances than those serving on land

Pending the result of movement to
restrict the height of our tall buildings,
there is one feature Of the problem
that has recently been called forcibly
to the attention of the public by the ac-
cident to the elevators in the Ameri-
can Tract Society building, the details
of which were described in the En-
gineering Record, and that is the peril
attending the occupancy of such high
structures where high speed elevators
and high pressure plants are intro
duced. 1t is quite practicable to regu-
late the matter In anticipation of
action on the larger question of the
restriction of the height of buildings.
The risks attending the operation of
elevators designed to run at speeds of
from 500 to 700 feet per minute are
much greater than is generally sup
posed, yet they are fully appreciated
by experts. The demand for excessive
speeds like that required of the build
ers of the elevators of the Tract So
ciety building was assumed to be nee
essary in order to make available for
renting the ten upper stories of this
twenty -throe-story building. To reach
quickly these high stories an excessive
speed is called for, and with view to
economize the cost Of operation and
minimize space in the basement, high
pressure plants are designed, with the
result that the record for safety of
elevator travel so creditable to our eic
vator builders in the past is likely to
be impaired To obviate this is should
be made illegal to operate passenger
elevators at a speed greater than 400
feet a minute. This will permit the
safety device to operate when the
speed reaches 500 to 800 feet per min
