Marine Disaster.

The catastrophe of La Bourgogne, the
French liner. added another to the
awful roll CT sea tragedies. Even in this
age of perfected ocean travel, when hu-
man skill and prudence provide SO in
~Senlously against the forces which con-
splre against mans safety on the tum-
bling main, the unexpected ia forever
happening. With eyes and ears intent
on the affairs of war, anxious only in
sorecasting the miseries and triumphs
Of battletields, this horror from an un-
thought OF quarter struck with a more
stunning shock. All the bloodshed of a
desperate battle would not touch the
sensibilities so closely. The feature of
this tragedy which ~aggravates all the
others is the conviction that it was not
necessary, at least to the full extent of
the actual facts. The habit of ocean
liners i'll pushing their way at high
speed has now illustrated afresh how
custom will blunt the sense of danger,
even when the responsibility of many
human lives hangs in the balance.
That the French ship was proceeding
at a speed of some IS knots in a dense
fog, which made all ordinary safeguards
useless, sutfices TO brand the disaster as
in part the result of r~ecklessness. That
SO many other ships have been equally
reckless with safety does not palliate
the unlucky exception. In u case
speed in II fog is little short Of a crime.
Another startlilA reflection grows from
the evidences Of iacl; of discipline among
officers and crew. Captain Deloncle per-
ishcd calamity, it is true, and went
down with his ship, but even in the
short ten minutes which elapsed between
the collision and the laundering reso-
lutte officers with a crew we'll in hand
could have prevented the ~sickening hor-
rors which ensued in the mad scramble
for boats and saved many more lives.
One can scarcely fancy such "A carnival
Of crazy fear run amuck on a first class
English or American steamship. Under
similar conditions the familiar example
of Anglo-Saxon discipline has been that
of captain and officers, backed by crew,
suppressing the disorder Of fear by force
of arms il need be. 1t is the confidence
begotten by such experience which has
made the English and American lines
the models of the passenger service of
the world. OF course no accident exact
~ repeats the conditions of II other.
But there seems to have been nothing
in the La Bourgogne affair which could
not have been greatly a~lleviated in hor-
ror by executive courage and discipline.

Plant Nut Trees.

If the farmer with an assortment Of
poor, scraggly, hillside land were 10 So
lect three TO five acres Of it and plant
nut trees thereon, seeing likewise that
the young saplings were kept alive and
cared for during the first period of their
existence. in not many years his lean
and unsightly hillside would be the
most valuable portion of his ground.
Nut food is becoming more and more
popular every year. 1t has been found
to take the place Of both bread and meat
to a considerable extent.
The hickory tree. the chestnut and
many varieties Of walnut will grow any
where in the United States. The best
chestnut is the Japan kind, as hardy as
our own. The pecan will also grow in
nearly every part Of tho country, al
though Texas is the banner state for
this nut. In the south and southwest
the almond and Persian walnut, mis-
called the English walnut, flourish and
bear abuBdantly.
Most ruralists plant shade trees about
their grounds, Varieties Of maple are
popular for this purpose. Bnt why do
they not plant the magnificent, spread
ing chestnut tree? 1t will grow nearly
as fast rs the maple and will have a
solid economic value every year genera
ton after generation. Chestnuts in tho
city market are so high that few people
car affozd to buy them, although every
body is fond OF them.

 The approved estimate for improving that portion of the river above Little Rock t4 t77e d mile; below Little Rock, &lf f24 q mite. Ee- garding this improvement the conclusions reached are that the regulations of such stream as the Arkansas must include the cun- trol of both the high water and low water flow Of the stream; that all bank projections must extend to the top of the bank that such reeula- tion will cost S35 09J Ia mile above Little Rock and s5l COD mile below. tHHt an attempt te permanently improve 1ss Hiias ef .ngh river by the expenditure Of s54qeJ CT -t@' U7H year is futile. The snaRgiHg operations era baue- fcial to navigation, and sh8li4 he continued This would require all annual appropriation Of S3J0 O00 A large amount t5 eF#Fatey during the fiscal year 1900 will be required 10 replace plant that has become unServiecabe and has been condemned and also to repair tae fo3a damage of this year.
