What Wrecked the Paris?

The great floating palace, the Paris,
coast where she struck, last week, all
efforts to float her having proved
futile. 1t is feared the famous Ameri-
can liner will be total loss. The
cause of the disaster still remains a
mystery. English scientists nave
started the theory that the rocks near
which the Paris foundered are mag
netic. They believe that the iron in
the Paris. coupled with the magnetism
of the rocks. detected the needle of the
compass and caused the disaster. An
expedition is to be sent to make full
investigation of these rocks. This calls
to mind the stories in the Arabian
Nights" In one of his voyages Sinbad
encountered magnetic mountain,
which was so powerful that all of the
nails and bolts flew out of the ship and
adhered to it. The ship. of course,
went to pieces, as did many others
NlIICH iidpPCliNt ~ 500 49, iiN'i ~
magnetic mountain.
There are persons who claim that all
stories Of interest, no matter how an
cient or strange, are based on some
thing that does or did exist. There
may never have been a magnetic
mountain. but there may have been a
spot where the influence Of magnetism
was very much greater than elsewhere
and an accident or disaster may have
been caused by it. This would be a
sufficient basis for the story in the
Arabian Nights" and it would be
passing strange We're it confirmed by
the Investigations of the scientists.
But they should not confine their
efforts to the rocks If possible, the
magnetic currents in the air should be
tested. That these are present at some
points in sufficient force TO convey a
message has been fully demonstrated
within the month. \ slight thing be-
fore now has DETECTED the needle Of
the compass, and a current that will
convey a message without wires might,
under certain conditions. fatally
change the direction Of the needle. 1t
is a matter which should be inves-
tigated. 1t IS easy to decide that a dis
aster is a mystery but when three or
four have occurred in the same neigh
borhood which are also mysteries. it is
safer to find out the cause and solve
the mystery.

Cruisers Of a New Type.

Wide-reaching indeed are the effects
of our grip on the Philippines when it
compels radical alteration in the de-
signs of American warships. The six
late Congress are the first to exemplify
the new departure. In these six yes
sels-the Denver. Des Moines, Chatta-
nooga, Galveston. Tacoma and Cleve-
land-the high speed which character
ICES most other American warships of
their class has been abandoned Thus
instead of the IS knots of the Raleigh
and Cincinnati and the IS or 10 Of the
much smaller Detroit, Montgomery or
Marblehead, the new cruisers will have
a maximum contract rate of 161a knots
This may perhaps be exceeded on
actual trial, but not much, for the
stipulated horse power Of the six ships
in their two engines is 5000. or a full
thousand less than that of the Raleigh,
although the new vessels are to be
somewhat larger.
Years ago our designers We're con-
tent If they gave their ships coal
capacity or coal endurance" as it is
better called, equal TO that of like ships
Z of foreign nations. But our foothold in
the Philippines calls for vessels Of an
unusual type, capable of steaming very
long distances without recoaling. In
times of peace it is an easy matter for
a cruiser bound out to Manila via the
SueZ canal to replenish her bunkers at
convenient way ports, but in war, as
we have found, it is very different
Then not pound of neutral coal can a
belligerent touch to help him on war
like mission. We must therefore have
ships which can steam very much
further without emptying their bunk
ers than could the cruisers which we
had in the Pacific ocean when the war
with Spain began. The Olympia was
the only vessel of Dewey's squadron at
that time which could cross the Pacific
without recoaling. There is a great
deal of grim truth in the assertion.
often made, that Dewey had to take
Manila in order to get home! And
every warship which we hurriedly dis
patched to reinforce him had to stop
at Honolulu for coal. 1t was this OBJ
ject lesson which muzzled the few last
foes of Hawaiian onnayation
Now We have a coaling station in
Hawaii, and another at Guam, three
thousand miles further on. But even
these are not to be relied on for abso-
lute protection. 1t is estimated that
the six new cruisers, with their roOmy
bunkers and economical machinery,
can cover about seven thousand miles
without recoaling. or the entire dis
tance from San Francisco to Manila.
What is lost in maximum speed-and
for that, as experience has shown,
there is really seldom needs made up
in staying quality"

1t is to be hoped that the friendly
relations between the United States
and Spain, which are to be resumed
the beginning of June, will be per-
manent. Probably they will be 50.
Nothing is in sight for the two coun-
tries to have a quarrel about. This is
a widely different situation from that
which prevailed from the beginning Of
the exiSRce of the United States
along to the rlese of the Cuban war.
Spain and the Fpited States We're
neighbors during all that time, and
there was Irritation between them al
most constantly. Happily, this condi-
ton is ended now. The prospect is
that Spain and America will be good
friends from this time onward.
