Speed at Sea.

Sailors are not noted as logicians, but
even they must be panied by the fire.
quency with which certain landsmen
financially interested in maritime affairs
repeat the wildly absurd statement that
the dangers of ocean travel are reduced
by moving through them at high speed.
This assertion was incented ashore to
meet the desperate need created by the
issuance there to steamship captains of
what amount to orders not to slow down
while running through fogs, and the cir
cumstance that it ignored not a few
very obvious facts really couldn't be
helped. The public had to be soothed
somehow, and the only way to do it was
to push the obvious facts aside and cover
them up with the irrelevant proposition
that the faster ship is run the shorter
will be the time in which anything I'M
pleasant can happen to her. AS the lat
est issue of the American Shipbuilder
puts it: "Ships were never run at such
speed as they are now, and arguments
in favor of faster ships are by no means
lacking. They not only diminish the pc
Rod OF exposure to such dangers as there
may be in the translantic voyage, but
from the superiority of their machinery,
boilers and engines they are better fitted
for overcoming these dangers. Naviga
ton on the Atlantic is now carried Oh
with promptness and regularity almost
equal to that Of express trains, and the
number Of accidents in proportion to the
number of persons carried is less than
ever before. Fog is one of the greatest
dangers that the ship has to meet, but
collisions at sea in fogs are hardly more
numerous or fatal than railway acct
dents due to the same cause" Most of
this is true enough, and we haven't the
slightest inclination to deny that there
are few places safer than ocean steamers
Of the higher grade, but they are safe in
spite of, not because of, their speed,
and especially not because tnelr ''slow
speed in fogs is what would have ,een
called very rapid speed few years ago.
Swiftness does not increase the number
of possible collisions in given fog bank,
but it does not decrease them, and it
certainly increases the probability that
they will happen, and in even greater
ratio increases the gravity of their con-
sequences when they do happen.-New
York Times.

ON THE CHESAPEAKE.

Thank you for your pity. stranger,
That my life upon the bay
Is so full of toll and danger,
And no pleasures-aS you say.
There are two sides to that picture:
One. SO warm, and sweet, and bright
That it truly hides the other
AS the clear sun hides the night
I've CHEEKY little cottage,
Loving wife and children three
And l know this very minute
They are watching out for me.
Ia an hour, if God so will 1t,
I shall be with them again,
And the welcome of their kisses
Will refresh like summer rain.
All my toll will be forgotten
In the comfort of my hearth,
And the pat of tiny footsteps
Be the sweetest sound on earth.
Our supper will be frugal,
But prepared with loving hand.
No king could feast more royalty
With Kingdoms at command.
True, we struggle for our living,
Have our trials here and there,
But in trusting to our Savior
We are happy anywhere.
Thank you for your pity, stranger,
But it's needed not by me;
Give it to some lonely creature,
Without wife and children three.

A New Vegetable Fiber from Java.

"Kapock" or ''ouate' is vegetable
fibre. cultivated above all in Java, and
recent experiments show that it's buoy
ancy in water is such as to support thirty
to thirty-hve times its own weight, that
is to say much lighter than cork or the
new wood ''marea" from Lake Tchad,
already mentioned by us. In 1901 Hol-
land received 1.13S,OOO Kilograms of the
fibre, having a value of 2,OOO,0OOf. The
best fibre sells at 1.70f. kilogram in
Amsterdam. AS the stuff is likely to be-
come more and more useful, it might be
worth the attention of tropical colonists.
A bulletin or study Of the subject was
recently issued by the director of agri-
culture, IEdo-China, where it is also
grown.-London Globe.
