safe to assume that little practice would be
needed to enable the pilot of an airship to bring
his craft into Il position directly over so large
an object as a warship. and that only hmited
amount of experience would suffice 10 insure
the proper aim In releasing a torpedo.
Thus far the business seems comparatively
easy, but there must be a great deal of doubt
about Its safety. Major Baden-Povell THINKS
that no gun on Il snip could be brought to bear
on a flying machine. Possibly he is correct, but

the meaning of what is going on In their own
davs II has hacome an axiom of modern medi-
cine that Mature is benefcent" therapeu-

is safest TO say that what corresponds in the
social and economic world to Nature IN the

Nature is benefcent" There has been
steady growth of society. which has never yet
conformed TO the expectations of refOrmatOry
theorists or needed the outbursts OF dema-
gogues. Industrial progress has been an IRE

been for centuries a steady growth toward
industrial democracy. Machinery, dssolvng

and as he further says; This problem of in

control of the state we shall have industrial
'despotism."
Our very corporations. against which there
Is the loudrst oGtcry, are. as Or. Abbott says
an institution of industrial democracy In a
great corporation properly managed the shares

is an exact parallel. a great industrial cor

not 10 destroy but TO purify the growing in

AGGRESSIVE WAR BALLOONS.

In an address before the United Service Insti-
tuition in London the other evening Colonel J
D. Fullerton. of the Royal Engineers, expressed
the opinion that the British government might
with propriety give more attention TO military
ballOoning than it has given In the past He is
anxious to have a commission appointed to study
the subject and TO report on the type OF
arshp best suited 70 the needs of warfare
Major B. F. s. Baden-Pow who has con
Quoted many aeronautic experiments for the
British War Department. was even more out
spoken than Colonel Fullerton Referring to
recent achievements in France and GERMANY
he limited that Continental countries were now
ahead Of England in this department Of activ-
ity, and went on TO suggest that airships might
in time render the nayies of the world utter,v
useless.
Hitherto military balloons have been en
plOyed only for purposes OF observation as
they were at Santiago, for instance The DOS
sibillty Of their performing aggressive func-
tons is now likely to receive a good deal Of
attention Until within about two years the usa
of aerial torpedoes was prohibited by tnterna
uonal agreement. That restriction has now ex
pired, and the recent progress made in aerial
navigation certainly encourages the belief that
airships might possibly make 4 good deal of
mischief under proper guidance. If he did
not explicitly say so. Major Baden Powell
doubtless had in mind the effect Of dropping q
quantity Of dynamite on the deck OF mod
ern battleship armored cruiser If the
charge of explosive were large enough and it
were properly aimed it would certainly work
destruction
Several things viii be found essential to sue
cess in such fighting. In the first place the
airship must he faster than the vessel which
IT is proposed TO attack. Otherwise escape Will
be possible. Just at present there may he no
dirigible balloon which viii quite meet this
requirement, but the necessary speed viii un-
doubtedU come in time. The airship must pos

4 SUBWAY FOR THE CENTRAL.

Ibe New York Central company Is credited
with having under consideration plan for
further Improving its facilities for passenger
traffic in this city. The project Involves the
construction Of 2 subway through Bad street
from the freight tracks Of the conlpauv on the
Hudson River 10 a convenient point north Of the
Grand Central Station. To some extent. 81 NOT
entirely. the adoption Of the scheme is appar-
entity contingent upon the companys acceptance
OF a still more elaborate one which has been
urged upon il by the municipal authorities
what disposition shall he made Of the tracks
along the waterfront j. a question that has
long been under discussion. The company itself
prefers 10 run them Oh an elevated structure
whereas the city government would be glad 70
see Them put underground. Were an amicahle
agreement in favor Of the latter procedure
finally reached, the crosstown subway would
constitute merely 2 spur Of the one which the
Rapid Transit Commission recommends.
Whatever the outcome of the negotiations he
tween the city and the railroad company nav be

nOdation il would be built. That route wouId
