Travel on and and Sea.

The sea has figured in human rec
ords as an Unsuitable monster and in
poetry as being possessed OF a con
Stunning hunger for its toll of sailors
and voyagers. Last year All "souls
were lost at sea-" 257 on the Atlantic,
SIS on the Pacific and 126 on the Great
Lakes in the marine commerce and
travel of the six nations. Less mer-
ciful by far were the railroads. Dur
ing the same year 1900 passengers
and employees We're killed by the rail-
roads of the United States alone, and
some $50 in Canada, while more than
$4,000 were injured. One million
humble immigrants were carried
across the Atlantic without a single
loss OF life by drowning. Several
hundred immigrants were killed on
the journey inland. Great fear is
expressed by many whose timidity
prevents them from venturing upon
the water in a modern ship that the
vessel may strike rock, collide with
some nameless and formless mass of
founder in the tremendous sea. The
real fears should be aroused on
boarding the modern train with its
record of human lives. Detroit Free

Thc Policy of npnnts {"

Many of the chiefs in the protec-
torate OF Gambia wish to have their
sons educated in the new Mohamme-
dan school of that region; but there
was bar to their full enjoyment
of the education they were likely TO
receive. The pious Mohammedan
papas were afraid that the wearing
OF modern trousers was part of the
school curriculum, and therefore they
viewed the school with peculiar sus-
picion. The Governor of Gambia
now reports that the parents have
been assured that their children will
not be converted into "trouser men. D."
and the prospects OF the school are
now very bright
II would be interesting to learn
how this suspicion of the modern
neither covering arose and whether
the dry-goOds merchants denied the
natives their ordinary materials. But
II may be interesting to recall the
fact that the British Government for
bade Highlanders to wear the kilt
for some years after the battle of
CullOden. However. the government
was in tight corner during their
Continental wars, and they were glad
TO raise several regiments of High
landers. who resumed the kilt, and
the trouser-wearing edict died q ma
tural death.-Tailor and Cutter.

Cold Air About Equator.

At the international conference on
scientific aeronaUts. held recently in
Milan, Mons. Teisserenc de Bort pre-
sented some interesting results of the
expedition to the equatorial regions
of the Atlantic organized by himself
and Lawrence Rotch. Contrary to
expectation, he said, they had found
far lower temperatures in the upper
air above the equator than at cor
responding elevations in temperate
attitudes. At the equator the temp
erature goes on decreasing up to the
greatest elevations attained by kites
and balloons. At the height of eight
to eight and one-half miles tempera-
lures were recorded as low as minus
so degrees Centigrade, or 112 degrees
Fahrenheit below zero. -Philadel-
