CRUISING FOR DBRELICTS.

The excellent work In destroying a danger
GUS derelict last week, begun by the Tacoma
and completed by the Columbia, gives renewed
point TO the suggestion hitherto made in these
columns that vessels of the navies OF the worid
might with peculiar profit be employed in track
ing and destroying the abandoned hunks whlch
dot the seas and which present one Oh Tue lnOsI
serious dangers TO navigation.
OF the need that derelicts shall be destroyed
as speedily as possible there can be no ques-
ton. Many known accidents and disasters have
been due to them, and there is reason for sup
posing that many, perhaps most, OF the mys-
teriOus disappearance of vessels might truly
lie explained on the ground that they had come
into collision with those wandering destroyerS.
Carrying no lights, making no noise giving no
signal of any kind, often lying so low in the
water as TO be scarcely perceptible, and heavy
and solid almost as a rock, derelct is some
thing against which a vessel can scarcely be
guarded in the dark and collision with which
is always serious and often disastrous.
Derelicts are Oftenest sighted and reported
of course. by merchant vessels. But these can
only report them. They have no meaps Of de-
stroying them without much delay and peril,
But naval vessels, even the light, swift cruisers,
are at all times equipped with engines OF de-
stcuctiOn, with which they can quickly dispose
of hulk without danger, and, indeed, with
some actual advantage 10 CheLuSeA'es' rOE Ac

tice with guns, with tOrpedoes and with mines.
the nearest approach to the target Of an enemy's
ship that seamen can have.
Nor would il be in any sense an ignOble occu-
patton, but rather one Of the Worthiest for the
most gallant of our sea fighters. Navies exist
largely for the purpose of protecting the mer-
camille marine from harm, and it is just as we'll
and certainly as needful to protect it from these
blind, remOrseless destroyers as from the ships
Of foeman.

IMMEDIATE BRIDGE RELIEF.

Bridge Commissioner Stevenson does we'll TO
urge upon the New York City Railway Com
pany an increase in the number of cars which
il runs over the Williamsburg Bridge. That
structure is not used 10 anything like its full
capacity, and something should be done imme
diately TO divert TO it some of the traffic which
now congests the Brooklyn Bridge. Especially
urgent is the establishment of surface lines from
the City Hall TO and across the Williamsburg
Bridge, in order TO induce the crowds working
downtown in Manhattan and living in Williams
burg to take that road home.
A great deal of attention is being given to the
problem of an elevated or underground bridge
loop which, it is hoped, will take a considerable
part of the present Brooklyn Bridge traffic over
the Williamsburg Bridge. But the most SAN
guine do not hope for any relief by such means
for two years at least. Surface cars could give
some aid at once. 1t would not be all that is
desired, but every little helps. Tracks already
exist, we believe, on which cars can run from
the POstoffice to the Brooklyn plaza Of the
Williamsburg Bridge, and Commissioner Steven
son holds that such line could be operated
without causing congestion the Manhattan
crosstOwn lines, whose tracks would be chiefly
used. Why does not Mr.. Vreeland try il? He
sends cars from the POstofice to the upper West
Side, why not 10 Williamsburg? Then if there
is need of new tracks it would be easy to build
them speedily new surface franchise might
be granted through East Side streets TO the
Williamsburg Bridge from the neighborhoOd of
the City Hail. If n single track ran down Pearl
or Gold or William street to Maiden Lane and
back on one of the Others making loop, the
line could pick up large traffic which now
crowds the Brooklyn Bridge but which would
be better accommodated by the Williamsburg
Bridge if only convenient access could be had
to that structure. 1t is folly to wait two or
more years for the relief of elevated or subway
tracks, when surface lines could be made imme-
diately useful.

THE FREE .ALCOHoL LAW.

IN the latest issue Of "The Manufacturers
Record" misgivings are expressed relative 10 the
effect OF changes made in the free alcohol law
before its final passage. As originally drawn
and as approved by the House Of Representa-
tives, the measure provided that the process Of
denaturing should be conducted before with
dEawal from the bonded warehouse" In the
Senate an amendment was adopted which re-
auires denaturing in specially designated"
warehouses. Although The Manufacturers
Record" has the good sense TO refrain from
basty conclusions, it is evidently disturbed by
the possibility" that the Senate's action will
serve 70 restrict the number both Of the dis
fiIleries which viii manufacture alcohol for
Industrial purposes and Of the places where IT
viii be denatured in other words, it fears
that monopoly will be created and that there
will be no such reduction in price as the pub
lie expects.
Perhaps the phraseOlogy Of the bill as passed
by the House is open TO the objection that 1t
IS obscure and indefinite. Since there was no
specific direction that denaturing should be
conducted az any and every bonded warehouse,
there IS some difficulty in determining just what
was intended Some modification of the lam
g12se, therefore, was apparently needed. There
Is not however, the slightest uncertainty about
the purpose OF the chief advocates Of the bill.
They hoped that the country might sooner or
later have supply OF untaxed alcohol which,
ic not absolutely unlimited, should be so abun-
dant that Il could and would compete with
kerosene and gasolene IL il is discovered, after
q thorough trial Of its workings, that the law
does not realize this expectation, it is safe TO
say that a demand will be made upon Congress
for legislation that will give the country what
st wants. We are not convinced that there was
any nischievOus attempt 10 thwart the people
IN this matter, but if there was the people will
eventually triumph
Nevertheless, il will not do 10 ignore the fact
that the United States is about 70 make colOs
sal experiment The venture has been made with
success abroad, and &c should be successful here,
but there is everything in beginning right Not

a COLOSSAL SODA FOUNTAIN.

One Of the latest monographs of the United
States Geological Survey is devoted to what is
in a certain sense a new mineral industry. Not
so very long ago manufacturers of soda water
and others who wanted carbOnic acid gas OBJ
tanned it by artificial means. They treated
pounded limestone with sulphuric acid, passed
the fumes of burning coke through potash I've
or made other chemical combinations which
would produce the same general result. There
are, however, large natural stores of this use
full commodity. as is shown by the effervescent
quality of the water from mineral springs
Beneath the surface Of the earth in and near
Saratoga, for instance. is an immense reservoir
Of carbon diOXide. and the business of utilizing
its contents, independently of the bOttling of
the waters for which that locality has long
been famous, is now conducted on large scale
The Gily output Of the gas wells is not far
from twenty thousand pounds, and fully half OF
that amount is recovered and marketed first
going through a process which robs it Of its
moisture and then being compressed enormously
for shipment in steel cylinders
picturesque interest is impaired to this
story by the speculatiOns of the author of the
monograph relative to the origin of the gas
Carbon dioxide might be formed he shows in
any one OF a number Of ways and there is not
enough evidence yet to indicate conclusiveIy
which method nature employed in the present
NdSe' SUM- SOule OA tHeSe processes seem 10 be
excluded from consideration because the con-
ditions favorable to their operation have ap-
parently been lacking. On the whole, perhaps
the most credible suggestion is that the genera
tion of the gas was promoted directly or indi-
rectly by volcanic influences long time ago and
that it has since remained in storage
An abundant if not unlimited, supply Of cheap
carbonic acid gas will doubtless promote some of
the more recent applications of that useful agent
TO industry. It's service is by no means limited
TO the production Of soda water and the i'm
parting Of an effervescent quality to other bev-
erages. 1t is being substituted for compressed
air in the working OF block signals on RAILWAYS
possibly because it is more economical in certain
localities TO rely on cylinders of gas than to
install a compressor plant. Again, in Europe
1t Is employed more extensively than in the
United States for mechanical refrigeration. The
machinery in which it is used is much more
compact than that required with ammonia.
PresSures of 1000 or 1900 pounds to the inch
are deemed not only feasible but safe with car
bon dioxide, while $50 and 200 pounds represent
the common practice with ammonia Besides
when an explosion suddenly liberates a large
quantity of ammonia vapor the effect is not in
frequently fatal TO those who are near enough
TO 1nhale it. No such consequences attend the
escape OF carbon diOxide
