Along the Pacific Coast the army

not regarded with favor. Private

ness which Is now being done by the
dozen and a half vessels making up the

During the last fiscal year the Sheri-

that is. instead OF one sailing a month
there are now two.
The army prefers 20 do its own
freI hf and passenger business on .
Pacific for the following reasons:
Primarily, private companies secur-
ing contracts could not furnish the ser
vice desired without specially con-
strucfed vessels, an expense which.
though demonstrated absolutely neces-
sary by experience, they would not
undertake owing 10 the uncertainty OF
the fraffic.
Secondly. the present service is
found more economical. the cost OF
operafion last year amounted to $780,
600 less than the lowest estimate pre-
septed by any Of the private con-
Germs bidding for the business.
Lastly. the exigencies of the service
which might az any moment demand

The COMING Airship.

We should hesitate about turning up
our noses at the fat, impotent flying
machine which, though it now sticks
closer to the earth than poor relation
to rich uncle, may some day force
us to turn up our noses to see it as it
condescends to look down on us.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow,
and possibly tall flights may yet grow
from big, unwieldy balloons. You new
err can tell, and even if you did tell
who could swear that what you told
was so?
1t is only ten years ago that the auto
mobile picked itself up bodily by the
tires and lifted itself out of the toy
class, and who can tell but what the
flying machine may give itself similar
treatment? Then. again. the future
looks like the inhabitants Of Africa
when We remember that balloons have
been about in the same state of mind
ever since the memory Of the oldest in

He thinks his great and massive brain
Alone his progress can explain.
Chance put him there, and it Will call
