This Beats Noah.

A thrilling story Of the almost
miraculous escape of a seaman in
mid-Atlantic was told on the arrival
Of the British tank steamship Aral,
22 days out from Shields. To have
been washed overheard by a giant
Comber, and moment later caught
on he crest of another wave and
hurled back on deck, was the expert
ence Of Second officer swenson.
The Aral, i'm command OF Captain
Thomas, left Shields on December lG
The following day the tanker ran in
to a heavy blow, all hands were
kept busy making everything fast
IL was not mdi December n that
the steamship encountered the tor
rife storm The ocean according TO
the officers, was never IN more an
CRY mood Savage seas swept the yes
sci from stem to stern in q wild ef-
fort to engulf her.
II was when the lifeboats were I'm
danger that Swensen and two seamen
went on deck to secure them. The
a hurricane, and the second officer in
trying TO dash across deck from port
to starboard was caught by giant
comber.
He was picked up like a piece of
timber and sent clear of the guard
rail into the sea. His, companions
clutched the rail and saved them
selves. They believed he was lost.
Before they could shout for help the
steamship dove into a swell and an
other comber came over the rail, on
the crest Of which was Swensen.
The seamen who witnessed this
strange freak stood terror-striclen
unable to believe their eyes. The voice
Of Captain Thomas aroused them,
aud with the training of years they
went to the second officers assist
ance and carried him to safety

Imprisoned in snowdrlft for 10

mail carrier, reached here late this
evening to relate his terrifying ex-
periences.
Mr., Seaman started for this point
late last night. carrying across his
shoulder small pouch Of letters.
Ordinarily the trip can be made In
three hours. but because of the
drifts he was not able to make much
progress In the darkness he became
confused, finally wandering off the
road and becoming utterly lost.
Al one point on the slope of the
mountain he lost his footing and fell
into u deep ravine filled with drifted
snow. He lost consciousness. How

know, but when he revived he was
entirely buried with hard-packed
snow.
Mr. Scanlan, after considerable eff
fort, managed to arise, but when he
tried to tunnel out of the drift his
strength failed. Apparently he was
doomed TO die in the huge snowbank.
His attention was directed to the
mail pouch, and he discovered that
where it rested all the snow was melt

Stopping Waste.

Until within comparatively recent
times the people of the United States
have been living and acting under the
halluciL alton that the natural re-
sources of this country were boundless
and have drawn upon them with a
prodigality born of that idea. Fortu-
nately the awakening has come before
impoverishment and we are realizing
that the fertility of the soil must be
preserved and that slipshod and waste
full methods of farming cannot be de-
pended upon indefinitely to support
our population.
The opinion once common that our
timber resources were sufficient in per-
petuity has given place to a certainty
that the forests must be protected and
restored else in the near future the
country would be without lumber. to
say nothing of the damage from denu-
dalton of the forest areas. Probably
in no one direction has the national
habit of waste been so predominant as
IN the use OF JlmDer. In the carrier
days of the numbering industry only
the best was taken and the remainder
burned simply to get it out of the way.
Railroads, ono among the worst
offenders, are taking the lead in re-
f~orestation and are also employing
scientists to treat artifcially varieties
of timber previously considered value
less in order to make them serviceable
and also to increase the life of ties and
other timbers which they use. A re-
cent discovery promises a process
which 1t is maintained will render val
liable the hitherto worthless gumwood
Of the south and make the short
leaved pine of that section equal to
the more valuable species.
The former waste of the coal mines
is being utilized, the packing houses
and petroleum refiners have brought
to their aid the 3~cientist and there is
now little waste product in these in
dustries. All lines of manufacturing
are aiming at elimination of waste and
sooner or later the idea will permeate
the American home, which is without
doubt the most wasteful of all. This
great country of ours can soon become
many times richer simply by stopping
needless waste.

The tender solicitude recently ex-
pressed by Mr.. Bryan in his Com
for the United States district

to resign an office rather than to en-

new light from the report just sub
mitted by the special committee of the
National Civil Service Reform league
which devotes a paragraph to the per-
nicious political activity of federal
officials in Indiana. This is what the
committee says about Mr.. Healing, the
honest lawyer" owe whom Mr..
Bryan has been shedding crocodile
tears:
In Indiana the republican organization
has been for years controlled by what is
known as the Fairbanks machine. The
head OF the machine all the time has been

attorney. In the seven years during which
he has held that office he has devoted
much time and effort to building up and
strengthening that machine, 1t covers both
state and federal politics. II forced the
nomination Of the recently defeated candi-
date for governor. Healing was a delegate
TO the last national convention and had
charge Of the Fairbanks candidacy. A con
siderable number of federal officeholders
in indian are opposed to the machine.
On one side OF the other. in the governor
ship nomination, nearly every federal
ofneeholder in ndian in the unelassified

Relief for a Suffering Public.

The New York court of appeals has
come to the relief of a long suffering
public which has borne none too pa
tiently with the injustice forced upon
it. The court has decided that simply
placing ones baggage in a car seat
does not hold it for the owner of the
baggage while he occupies another
seat with a friend or calmly reposes
on the cushions in the smoking COM
partment. In other words, because
the owner of the baggage has paid for
one seat he cannot legally duplex him
self by utilizing his baggage to hold
two seats while some poor, tired NOR
tai stands up and waits for a passen-
ger to get off At the next station.
All hail the court of appeals of New
York. 1t has opened up a field of re-
form in judicial decisions which
scarcely knows a boundary. The
principle involved, carried to it's legiti-
mate conclusion. will correct more of
the ills of present-day humanity than
any judicial pronunciamento since it
was officially determined a passenger
had no right to snore loud enough to
wake the porter.
Under the ruling zone fare-one
seat NOT only has the passenger no
right to hold an extra place with his
baggage, but he is prohibited from
holding an extra seat with his feet.
He can no longer look deliberately out
of the window while his overcoat rests
peacefully on the outer end of the
cushion and the tired woman holding
a baby patiently and sadly waits for
the friendly nod which bids her shove
over the overcOat and be seated. Even
the weary strap-hanger may get in on
the benefits. No more will the W
stout women be permitted to spread
out and absorb the space just vacated
by a third. for the legal principle has
been fixed that available space belongs
to the available passenger.
The faith of the American people in
their courts has been once more justi-
fed. Hail, all hail, TO the court of APP
