TIE ERA or GREAT SHIPS.

Citizens of no mean city of the waters are
the officers and crews of the huge steamships
recently constructed for the Atlantic ferry and
of the others which will soon be under way
Fifty years ago the vessels which crossed the
ocean were looked upon as marvels of enter
prise and speed. But they were humble craft
In comparison with the Oceanic, the Deutsch-
land or the Celtic. In the chief shipyards Of
the world the possibility and even the prob
ability that vessels ore thousand feet in length
and of corresponding breadth and depth will he

twentieth century has passed suggested by
the master minds whose success in the plan

been clearly demonstrated. What little cookie

which he discovered the New World, and how

4 NEEDLESS TUNNEL Nuisance


The Park-ave. tunnel and the tortures TO
which the people who travel through 1t are sub
jected have received much attention recently.
and the railroad companies have shown will
ingness TO institute reforms and laudable de-
sire 10 do their share toward providing greater
comfort for their patrons. But the changes
which may bring comfort cannot be made at
moments notice. The remedy will require
much time and until it can be applied the
people who are compelled TO breathe the foul
tunnel air will find some comfort in the refec-
ton that their complaints have been heard and
a remedy is being prepared. But one of the
existing causes of discomfort can be removed a
once without one cent of expense TO the rail-
road companies. This source is the signal Ian
tern which Is placed in the rear car of every
train and is allowed TO remain there until the
train starts its fumes making the bad air worse
by several degrees.
The fumes from the lanterns. the heat and
the bad air were too much for an elderly in
valid woman who was a passenger on a New
York New-Haven and Hartford train on Mon
day last She asked a fellow passenger to have
the lanterns placed the platform. and the
man TO whom the appeal was made was simple
enough TO ask the brakeman to Oblige the old
lady The brakeman made an impertnent re-
mark. and then the passenger took the lanterns
and placed them on the platform. where they
were safe. in no ones way and where the
fumes would not further contaminate the al
ready foul air of the But the train con-
ductor had other ideas Of proprety and or
dered the lanterns returned TO the car, and then
leered at the passengers from the platform in
n, way that said louder than words, What are
you going to do about it:' The old woman
hobbled into another car and the lanterns were
allowed TO remain and smoke and make life a
burden to the passengers.
So long this lantern nuisance is allowed
TO exist. and so long as employees take pains to
add 10 the discomfort Of passengers, the public
will doubt the sincerity of the railroad people
when they speak of making improvements.

HE UNDERSTANDS.

Our censors guard us rounda bout
And hedge with their dusty creeds:
They cry us wrong in hope or doubt.
And howl like ban dogs a deeds.
They wall our knotted Ske!n of life
Because with tangles it is rife
But all the time God understands.
our censors measure step and stride
With mathematic rod and rule.
And when we wander 70 side,
straightway they they cry aloud. Thou fool"
To curse the one who haltng stands,
He understandable understands
our censors weigh our every word
And sft its sound for sign OF sin,
And whispered dreams that unheard
Against the screen of fate they pin.
With harpy smile they search our brain
To bind Our thoughts with hrazon bands,
But hope shall struggle not in vain
And all the time God understands.
He understands our little fears.
Our little doubts and little woes;
He sees the soul. He knows-He knows;
He scans not censors do
To mark the blindy searching hands
But all good He brings to view
He understandable understands

Cardinal Gibbons in a published interview
praises warmly the efficiency of the LONDON po-
lice and commends the excellence of the water
supply of the British capital. He is by no means
the first visitor to the most populous city on the
globe who has found abundant reason to extol
the merits of the police force. which In dlsclphne
in fidelity to duty, in good manners and Unob-
trusive usefulness may well challenge compari-
son with the guardians of public order in any
other community in any country. But when
the honored Cardinal is enthusiastic over Lon
don's water supply. he is widely at variance
with the general verdict. In few cities IN recent
years has there been much well founded COM
plant of the insufficient quantity of water avail
able for domestic uses.
