Know How to Die.


A great deal of public Indignation has been
aroused by the conduct of the OF La Bour-
gogne in saving their own lives and allowing the
passengers, and especially the women, the
steamer TO perish. 1t was. in truth, 4 pitful
spectacle, and the hearty contempt of the Allan
Liners captain, who was strongly disposed 10
let the men who had disgraced their calling find
their own way to the shore if they could will
probably be excused by every sailor. II is not,
perhaps wholly reasonable 10 contend that every
sailor must stick to his ship until provision has
been made for the passengers. but British tars
long ago set the standard, that until at least the
women and children provided for, the sea-
man must take no thought of his own chances.
Living-dying up TO this standard, thousands of
them have gone TO their deaths, sustained only
by the sense of having discharged ehivalrous
duty. Life is mans prime possession, but by
a singular intellectual development. it has come
in which to preserve that life is to disgrace the
individual while to sacrifice it for the sake of
those less able to preserve their own, is TO
achieve the elowning glory of the human race.
II takes a long course OF development 10 produce
such disposition toward selfsaerifice in the in
dividual man, and it is yet slower process OF
evolution to bring nation beneath the
sway OF SO exalted a sentiment. British seamen
have been schooled TO it by uncounted examples.
If others fail when the test is imposed it may
be forgiven us if we turn with more pride To
those who have not failed in the hourof supreme
trial, but have shown their fitness to preserve
the traditions of British admiralty We may
perhaps. without too great pride, say that
the sons of the mistress of the knows how
TO die. In saying much we do not more thar
bear well-warranted tribute to unnumbe-od he
roes whose humble lives offered in unreGuiemet
sacrifice, constitute priceless possession of thei
race.

OF New York would amount TO 522 tons.
Were all this gold placed in one side of
gigantic pair of scales, 1t would heavily
overbalance ten 50-tofl locomotives; and
the weight of the chest in which it is
Kept you'd more than equal the coal In
their tenders. u r-t. ~t'-t'
1t is evident from the construction and
surroundings of the clearing house treas
ure chest that the, thief who should sue
ceed in robbing it of any OF its precious
contents would be a very ingenious and
persevering man, indeed. Yet the half
of the safeguards have not been told,
nor will the custodians of the strong
box explain them all. 1t is fact how
ever, that even were two light-fingered
men to accomplish the impossible and
secure the double combinations, they
would be morally certain they would
come 10 grief the moment they began to
manipulate the locks of the grill doors,
for they are fitted with electrical con-
trtvances calculated TO bring disaster
upon any unauthorized and therefore un
familiar person who should touch them.
AT the same time alarms would be sound
cd in dozen different quarters and ar
rest would be made before the robbers
could get out of the place. So, while all
concerned feel certain weight of re-
sponsibility for the safety of the gold
in their care, they still feel reasonably
certain that nothing short of real magic,
not even the rending power of an earth
quake, can ever make possible the rob-
berry of the treasure chest.
1t Is not expected by the bankers of
New York that the vast quantity of gold
now stored there will remain long undi-
minished nor would Il be likely to re-
main at this high-water mark even were
no war IN progress. Its presence coinci-

Altogether the record so far is not espec-
ially favorable for this particular type
of fightins craft
There is still another lesson to be
learned from the experience of our vessels
in the Caribbean Sea. We should insist
on sheathing the bottom of our ships so
that they can keep up their speed Ev-
cry one should have its bottom sheathed
with wood and copper. Indeed, things
have come TO such pass that Congress
should take up the whole subject at the
coming December session. Sixteen-knot
vessels are lucky if they can steam ahead
at the rate of twelve knots an hour, as
matters are now. The bottoms of many
OF the vessels are in a foul condition, with
barnacles and grass growing on them.
The result is that each vessel is just that
much inefficient, and consequently must
take so much more coal to carry her TO
her destination.
In the matter of economy alone, it
would seem that Naval Constructor Hich-
born's ideas should prevail, and that ev-
cry vessel in our Navy should have a four
inch sheathing of wood and copper, in
stead of the bare metal as at present
for in this way each would be able to keep
up its maximum speed, and be under the
best conditions. Three of our battleships
have been in Southern waters a whole
year.
I'm conclusion, am more than delight
ed with the work OF our American ships
Their construction was justified in every
essential part. / should have been great
ly disappointed If they had not come
through the ordeal just as they did.
The c-y was at first that Cervera's $
feet was invincible, and that our vessels
were no match for them. The whole
country seemed TO be in fear and terror
at their reported superiority and speed.
II was stated that our ships would never
catch the Spaniards Yet today the Span
ish armada is on the Cuban beach a total
wreck. the best answer 10 ali the critics
Of the American navy"
Other officials in the Navy Department
say that we need more battleships of
higher speed than we have at present
If by improvements in the machinery we
can get a greater speed we want to do
it. They say that. apparently. if it had
not been for the Brooklyn the Colon
would have gotten away. If we had had
six ships like the New York and Brook
lyn Cervera' fleet would never have got
into Santiago Harbor. for they would
have been destroyed before they reached
the Caribbean Sea.
The Navy Department is keeping close
watch Of the developments of the Tur-
binia. Mr.. Parsons new boat now being
experimental with at NewcastIe-on-Tyn
They are inclined TO believe that the tur-
bine wheel system Of steam propulsion
may possibly work a revolution in naval
architecture. 1t is an open secret that
certain New York parties have been ex-
perimenting along this line for some time.
and some Of them have actually offered
10 build vessel for the Government. A
battleship getting over water at thirty
miles an hour would certainly be nov
city.
In conclusion II looks as If the battle
ship Will continue To be a great factor in
ocean warfare and that its day of doom
is further of than the men with torpedo
boat destroyers and submarine boats
would have US think
