INADEQUATE SUBWAY SERVICE.

The report Of Chief Engineer Rice Of the
Rapid Transit Commission exactly corresponds
with the impression Of the travelling pubic
with respect to the management or SUBWAY
traffic When citizens complain Of lack or proper
accommodations the company can laugh at theIn'
for they have no way Of securing definite DATA
mon which to base their criticisms, and even the
certain observation Of single person can Do
met with the reply that he was the victim OF
an exceptional mishap. The chief engineer,
however, has made a systematic study Of condi-
tons. and fully justdhes the popular faultnnd-
ing with the inadequate service
The public is prepared to accept croWdlng N
the rush hours as one Of the inevitable condl-
tons Of traffic IN this city. 1t Is doubtful II
subways can ever be built fast enough TO meet
the ever growing night and morning travel.
There is no good reason, however, why at other
hours there should not be quick transit with a
seat for everybody. So long as any passengers
at all have regularly to stand while the road Is
not operated to its full capacity the company IS
not doing its duty, but is robbing the people
whose franchise it enjoys. This, Mr.. Rice de-
cIares. is the chronic condition Of traffic IN the
non-r1lsh hours He warns passengers against
crowding into the centre cars Of trains while
the end cars have plenty Of room, and this Is an
evil for which the company is not TO blame But
when full allowance is made on this account the
fact remains that the service for many hours or
the day IS cut far below what is reasonable
and that little or no attempt is made to live up
even to the Inadequate schedule
The shortsightedness Of the company Will be
great If II persists In this penny wise policy.
II has a franchise to enjoy for many years, but
it wants more. 1t needs popular good will. 1t
cannot wish to encourage a bitterness which
would deprive it Of additional privileges, urge
annoying legislation and provoke the people TO
build rival lines. Enlightened selfinterest should
lead It TO seek the good will Of the travel
ling public. At first 1t seemed disposed to do
so. but recently the old elevated road spirit
seems to have prevailed in the subway. If the
managers are wise they viii at once heed Mr..
Rices suggestions.

MILITARY ALRSRIPS.

There is ample warrant for the lively interest
In airships which the Emperor Of Germany and
bis military advisers are now manifesting. The
war Departments Of the leading nations Of the
world have for years regarded captive balloons
a necessary part Of the equipment Of an army
But balloon which can be steered and propelled
IS a great improvement on the gas bags hitherto
employed for purposes OF reconnaissance. OBJ
servations can be conducted with It much more
advantageOusly than has been possible before
An enemy's camp and defences can be photo
graphed in an instant Of time when a favorable
position has been secured almost directly over
them, and such an airship as that devised by
the Lebaudy brothers might even be utilized for
purposes OF attack, now that the international
ban on aerial torpedOes has been removed. Up
10 the present time, too. much the most efficient
flying machines Of which public exhibitions have
been given have been built and manouvred in
France; and the possibility Of another conflict
with that country is one which army officers in
Germany cannot properly ignore.
At least one German inventor, Count Won Yep
pelin, has been experimenting for years with the
system that has given such good results in the
hands Of Santos Dumont and the Lebaudys. The
chief trouble with the craft which he tested over
Lake Constance IN 1900 was that its engines
were too feeble compared with IT'S size. He has
now remedied that evil. His old motors could
develop only 80 horsepower while the new ones
have a capacity OF 10 horsepower When he
next makes trial q much better performance
may reasonably be expected. It will then be

ton or operation he has evolved any original

NAVIGATION IN 4 FOG.

a movement has been organized 70 secure au-
thority to make q change in the practice Of
pilots, both along the coast and in such inland
waters as the harbor Of New-York. When one
steamer IS approaching another it is customary
to give one blast of the whistle 70 indicate
intention Of keeping to the starboard and two
when there is a purpose 10 turn TO port. AT
present the law forbids the use Of these passing
signals" as they are called, unless the weather
makes It possible for the officers Of one vessel
to see the other. In fog OF a snOwstOrm which
completely hides other craft from view it is not
permissible to communicate in this manner 1t
is allowable under such conditions only to give
the ordinary fog signal. The men engaged in
navigating Sound steamers, coastng steamers
and tugs in the harbOr Of New-YOrk are pracu-
caIly unanimous in wanting the privilege Of en-
ploying passing signals at all times. After years
Of agitation and the signing of an almost endless
number Of petitions, the proposition is said to
have received the approval Of Secretary Metcalfe
Of the Department Of Commerce and Labor, and
q bill making the desired concession is likely 20
be introduced IN Congress before many weeks.
The theory on which the existing prohibition
is based is that pilot is likely to grow reckless
If he IS free TO make use Of passing signals in
q fog The suggestion is not without force. 1t
should be remembered, however, that there are
other checks on imprudence besides the law.
The officer in command Of a steamer is response
bic to its owners, as well as to the government
The safety OF the vessel is with every conscien-
tous ship captain the first consideration. To
this he sacrifices speed and everything else.
There are, Of course, differences IN the cautious
ness Of navigatOrs. But recklessness almost in
variably gets a man into trouble in any walk in
life. The mariner who takes foolish risks is an
exception TO the rule We believe that the
pilots know what they are talking about and
that they are sincere when they declare that the
proposed legislation Will tend to diminish acct
dents IN q fog.

particularly useful advice. Though his work
was sadly incomplete, and though his death was
an immediate result OF studying the problems Of
flight through the air, his ventures proved highly
instructive TO other inventors. His numerous
short slides down aerial inclined plane de-
monstrated the possibility Of support by out
stretched wings so long as forward motion is
maintained. Langley, Maxim and Chanute all
of whom accomplished much more than Lilien-
thai, received inspiration from his attempts The
same is probably true Of the Wright brothers,
Of Dayton, Ohio, whose success with the aero
plane is said to have led the French government
to negotiate for the purchase Of their rights in
Europe. Indirectly therefore LIienthal still
continues to promote the development Of aero
nautic science.
In order 10 determine which type OF airship is
best suited to military service an elaborate COM
parlson must be instituted; but no such estimate
of the relative merits Of the gas bag and aero
plane will be feasible until more is known about
the latter. The contests for the Deutsch prize
and other honOrs in France in the next year or
two will throw a good deal of light on the Writ
ues and weaknesses of the aeTOpane. If these
tests are supplemented by others conducted un-
der governmental auspices, the world ought soon
to be IN position to form q trustworthy Opin-
