writer's If struck in A vital part, however, say around the boiler or en- gine-room, she undoubtedly would sink, and it is this point that the pub lie should insist upon-that steam boats be made unsuitable.
 And they can be made so, A series of buIkheads cutting the hull up into small water-ight compartments, the use of the cellular or dOuble-bottom principle, or of water-tight tanks dis tributed through the various holds of the ship, would make any vessel prac- tically unsuitable. There is no law just at present making it obligatory upon the part of owners to make their steamboats unsuitable, but such law is bound to come in time, and when it does come owners will be the best pleased among these directly bene- fitted.
 When the investigation into the General Slocum disaster was under way the fact was brought out that when the flames which suddenly burst forth in the forward hold in a barrel in which rubbish was thrown, were discovered, in order to communicate the news to the pilot house, where the commander of the vessel was sta toned, it was necessary to go to the third deck, a lot of valuable time be- ing wasted. Since that day electrical and other devices have been placed aboard our more prominent passenger steamers which instantly notify the occupants of the pilot house, as well as officials on other decks, of the eX- act location of a fire or other trouble in any particular part of vessel Further than this. there have been safety devices invented which reduce the possibility of loss of life by wreck to a minimum.
 Day of Rotten Hose Gone.
 To-day there is no more rotten hose included in the outfit of passenger boats. The life preservers are fresh and new and made of real cork, and there is an ample supply of them easy to get at. There are an added number of good serviceable lifeboats and they are not painted fast to the decks; they have their running tackle overhauled every little while, and when put overheard they will float Ample stairways between decks, both inside and outside the cabins, are pro- 9ided and as a result of the harrow ing episode connected with the men imprisoned in the burning hull of the North German Lloyd liner, when the Hoboken piers set fire to her few years ago, who could be seen alive but unable to crawl through the diminu-

Many persons jumped over board and were drowned, while others were burned to death. The Armenia soon appeared and helped to rescue many of those saved.

 Loss of the Berkshore.
 The fine new steamboat Berkshore burned on June 8, 1864. The steamer was a night boat, and while coming down the river fire burst from some freight slowed on the main deck and the flames quickly ignited quantity of hay piled near by, cutting off all communication from either end of the boat. There were about 200 passen- gers on board, and of these about three-quarters were saved.
 The history of%steam navigation in the year 1S40 was marked by the ap- palling calamity which occurred on a cold winter night on Long Island sound, when the steamboat Lexington was burned. The Lexington, one of the finest of the Sound fleet of the time, had 154 persons aboard. Off Eatons Neck, at the head of the sound, the woodwork surrounding the smoke stack was discovered to be on fire. Soon the vessel was a roaring furnace. A few of the passengers and crew took to the boats, but they froze to death. Rafts were improvised and launched, and two persons were res cued the next day from frail struc- lures of this character. Two others dug holes in bales of cotton which made up part of the cargo, and in
