Before the lines OF the new Metro
politan steamships are laid down.
which will be very soon now, the
most exhaustive experiments in every
direction that may promise safety will
be made with models in the testing
plant at the Washington navy yard.
The participants in the project, at the
head OF whom is Charles w. Morse.
the New York banker. and Calvin Aus.
tin OF Boston realize that to make pop
uiar passenger service over a route
hitherto held to be so perilous calls
for vessels which shall be practically
unsuitable. What the company de-
Tands from marine science is "a ship
that will remain afioat as long as a
bell buoy" The necessity of covering
the distance of about 375 miles between
New York and Boston in the shortest
possible time has led to the adoption
OF turbine engines, with which IL will
be simple matter to exceed the re-
quired rate OF "a miles an hour ami
to make the journey around Cape Cod
as swift and much pleasanter as that
by any of the channel lines between
England and the continent.

We are not after men; we are af,e.

Speaking of journalism. the Young
Mems Christian Association has an
nounced course of Is lectures on ad-
vertising. This sounds very plausible,
but is really as impracticable as Pulit-
zer's 100000 endowment for an ed.-
tcrial professorship at Columbia.
Neither editors nor advertisers are
made by lectures. and the latter are
especially the result of experience.
Men who aim at success in advertis-
