The ATLANTIC SPEEDWAY.

The dangers OF travel between Eu
' rope and the United States ara consid
? cred by II. Phelps Whitmarsh in an ar
ticle i'm the September Century. They
are not so great, IL seems. as those oi
railway travel; for four out of every
thousand travellers are killed or I'm
jured in travelling by rail- while only
two are killed or manned at sea.
The establishment OF specific and sep
arate tracks for eastward and west
| ward bound steamships has doubtless
! decreased the chances of collfsiS,~ I'm
I fortunately however, only the passen-
ger lines have agreed 10 use thes,.
ocean lanes, and. i'm consequence, there
IS still the risk OF meeting tramp
steamers and sailing-vessels. CAPTAIN
Randle OF the steamship St Louis has
kindly furnished me with two practical
ideas on this phase OF my subject. as
follows:
There are two suggestions that 7
would offer in regard TO making life on
the Atlantic ocean safer than II is to-
day. The first is the establishment of
eastward and westward routes one de-
gree 10 the southward of their present
position. This. though II would increase
the time OF passage by an hour or So
part OF the fog area The second is the
making OF an International law which
shall compel all vessels crossing me
Atlantic whether under steam or sail
either To follow the routes laid down
or To give them wide berth"
The feelings" OF captains in regard
10 safety are not. as has been suffi-
GENTLY proved. to be depended on. They
should be compelled. under the penalty
or losing their certificates to comply
with the law. particularly with regard
TO speed in thick weather To this
END II Is suggested that all steamships
ne required To carry telltales In some |
part OF the ship accessible to all which |
VIII register at all times the rate of |
speed at which the vessel is going. II is
an old saying that the captain who |
gives his attention TO the four "I's"- |
al, log. lights and lookouts- runs bu,
uttle danger of a catastrophe. To this
there should be added a fifth "I,"
standing for Paw. Finally. the steam
snip companies should be made liable
Tor the human freight they carry. Why
steamships, In contradstinction to rail-
roads' should be allowed to consider
accidents as an act OF God. and. with
the loss or the ship be exernnt eron,
liablity. is bevond my comnrehans,o,
Accidents, both anoat and ashore arn
inevitable Occasionally they arc

CYCLONE AND SKysCRAPfP.


The oft-repeated question. How
would our great Office structures with
stand a cyclone or hurricane?' has
been answered in advance by the engi-
neers who constructed them, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean. They are built
to resist current of air of ten TO TWEEN
ty times the highest velocity ever re-
corded i'm this latitude. There is little
doubt i'm the minds OF architectural en-
gineers that the tallest. frailest-loo
and most exposed of the great sky
scrapers of Chicago would stand the
shock of tornadoes such as have cut
clean swaths through the business dis
tricts of Louisville and st. Louis.
Perhaps the strongest proof we have
of ahe stability OF the great steel struc-
tures Is their admirable behavior I'm
such a terrific assault as was made up
on them last Friday evening, when they
were struck by the mountain of black
ness that came rolling down from the
northwest with dynamic force. The
big buildings, rising as they do like AL
pine peaks above the roofs OF the city,
we're exposed to the full force OF the
wind. rain, hail and electricity hurled
upon them at a velocity OF nifty miles
an hour. and they withstood the Oh
slaught almost without a tremor.
On Leirg questioned as to the possi-
bility OF the great Office structures 20
Chicago srccumbing To tornado. a
celebrated architect, now dead, once
made this reply: 1T Is possible but not
nrobable that cyclone or hurricane
may come along here of sufficient force
TO Law the steel-r'ibbed sky-scrapers
levej with the earth. but when that
time comes their fall will have ceased
to he a matter OF public interest. The
sky -scr-apers would not tumble until
long after everything beneath them had
been blown to the four winds.
