Safety in Ocean Travel.

In the presence Of the fearful loss Of life
In accidents on our railroads Il Is with
relief that We contemplate the ever-increas-
ing safety OF travel by sea. Year after
passes by without any OF the important
passenger steamers that cross the Atlantic
ocean, or other oceans on which passen-
ser travel is heavy meeting with an acct
dent that causes risk OF life or limb 20 the
passengers This fact is the more remark
able when we remember that ocean travel
has increased by leap and bound during
the past decade; that not only are there
more steamers following the lanes OF
travel. but that they are running at much
higher speed. The mail steamers come
and go with a regularity approaching that
OF the best railroad schedule. and II takes
the very hercest OF Atlantic midwinter
gales TO interfere seriously with this pune
tuality In seeking for the causes OF this
remarkable immunity from accidents we
have 20 look not al the natural, but at
the human elements OF the situation.
Seas are as broad and tempetuous as
ever. fogs as impenetrable as those that
banned the early navigators still brood
over the surface Of the deep; the sunken
reefs. the shifting sand bar. the variable
current and many another natural cause
OF marine disasters stin beset the path OF
the navigator. Therefore. It v 70 the

triumphs Of the invention and the perfect
ing Of human control and management that
we must look for an explanation Of the all
but absolute security of steamship travel
today. The secret of this security is to be
found both in the structure OF the ship
itself and in the marvelously ingenious
devices which science and invention have
placed at the service of the navigator to
guide him in the more perilous phases of
his duty. Without enumerating those ele-
ments OF water-tight subdivisions, vast
size and better control in the ship itself.
or the wonderfully sensitive and refined
apparatus at the command Of the modern
navigator, we need but refer to two OF the
very latest Safeguards In the form OF wire
less telegraphy and submarine signaling,
TO show that the present immunity from
accidents is traceable to clearly recognized
human causes.
The last named invention is close rival
to the wireless telegraph in the great in
crease that II has made In the safety Of
travel on the sea. Testimony 10 its eff
cheney was recently given by an officer Of
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, upon which
the new equipment is carried. We have so
frequently described the device in the COL
umns of the Scientific American that it is
sufficient TO say that at the lighthouse or
lightship there is a bell upon which signals
are sounded and that upon the ship is
carried a receiving device IN the form Of
an iron tank attached TO the inside OF the
plating below the water line. from which
wires are TO be led to telephones in the
chart room or on the bridge One receiver
is placed on each side of the ship, with
| separate wires from each, and by the use
OF the telephones the oficeT is able TO hear
/ a bell that is being struck at a point many
miles distant from the ship and determine
| its direction.
The oficer OF the Kaiser Wilhelm der
! Crosse states that on the last trip over,
! when the ship was four miles distant from
| the mouth of the River Weser he plainly
made out the signals conveyed from the
| lghtship there. Furthermore as the YES
sci neared Nantucket and when It wa:
about four miles distant from the lightshiI

from the Fire island light and from the
| Sandy Hook lightship the respective signals
| were distinctly audible The value OF this
| device In preventing collisions between ap-
preaching ships is evident, for It has thu,
advantage over the foghorn, that the di
rection OF the approaching vessel, whether

once by the fact that the sounds are audi

says that one acre Of good Cuban sugar
land will at low estimate yield 1855 per
annum, and lands set out in oranges and
other tropical fruits even more.
His farm settlements combine the advan-
tages Of the Canadian and American farm
home with those Of the farm villages Of
Europe. The unit of division is the cabal-
leria, or thirty-three and one-third acres.
Each farm settlement consists of eight ca
ballerias in the form Of a square, cut by
two roads running at right angles to the
middle OF the square and by additional lines
bisecting the square and joining the cor
ners. This makes eight triangular divisions
of square which meet at the center of the
block. The idea is to have a square park In
the center and facing It the houses Of the
eight families which shall own the eight
tracts OF land. Each mans house will be
on his own land and at the same time his
family will be close to those of his neigh
bors, affording social intercourse. Nine
units of this kind forming nine farm set
Elements will be Joined together in another
great square, at the center Of which is a
town site. At the latter there will be a

would probably have telephone connection
with each little settlement. It would be
large enough to support a doctor and as
there would be more than $50 school chill
dren in the different families there would
be no difficulty in getting a good teacher
for public school, and as none Of the sli-
bordinate settlements would be more than
half a mile from the town site the children
could easily attend school.
According to Sir William Van Horne s
estimate such a farm Of thirty-three acres
is equal in its money producing power &c
one OF 800 acres in the United States. and
It is about as much as one family can at
tend to without outside help. Those who
wish more lands can buy additional units

Investors in Cuban lands 10 come TO the
island and look over the country themselves
before making purchases. The oppOrtunl-
ties for making money are enormous. Lands
are bound to rise in value The soil is
amongst the most fertile of the world and
the island will probably become the fruit
and winter market garden OF the United
States.
There is, however, a great difference in
lands and locations, and freight rates will
often mean failure or success. There are
honest real estate agents here, but there
are also land sharks. There are develop
ment companies operated as fairly as any
In the United States and although the
lands sold by some of them are apparently
high, taking everything into consideration
they are comparatively cheap. The man
who buys land in Cuba, however. should
be on the ground and study the conditions;
he should look at the property himself be-
fore he hands over his money. He should,
II possible, reach the real owner, either
himself or by agents, and, what is very
important, he should have the title ex-
amined by respectable native lawyer, and
II possible by one who resides near the
property. Each province in Cuba has its
local conditions, and the local lawyer often
understands the titles about him better
than those who live far away. Lawyers
fees are not high, and money 50 spent may
be cheap in the end.

Des Moines papers are making plea for
Mike Cantillon that he should be allowed
to abuse umpires and do pretty much as
his erratic nature suggests. because he
saved the league. To prove that he saved
the league these papers say that he put up
1850 to secure the transfer of Colorado
Springs to Pueblo, when none OF the other
team owners would put up a cent. Presi-
dent O'Neil is credited with giving $500 for
the same purpose. All Of which sounds like
we'll, you know. 1t is a fact that Bill
Rourke and Mike Cantillon did put up the
money 20 save the team from going TO
pieces, and that George Tebeau refused to
put up cent The same thing is true at
St Joseph, but Rourke hasn't as yet asked
any special privileges because he helped
hold the league together. The plain truth
is that Mike Cantillon started out at the
very beginning OF the season to bulldoze
people and has kept 1t up to the very end.
