"BE4rTIFUL FOR SITUATION"

The announcement of the prospective ac-
uuisition of the fine property which mas long
been known as Castle Point for the permanent
occunation and use of the Stevens Institute or
Technology, at Hoboken. produces a teellng OF
hearty satisfaction in the minds OF the dIs-
eliminating public as well as in those or the
alumni of that fortunate seat of learning. To
some. indeed it will seem a pity that the stately
mansion and slightly grounds which for several
genera tions have been the home of a public
spirited family will no longer be used for such
residential purposes; but there are obvious rea-
sons for their REIMBURSEMENT, and It VIII ne
fitting for the property to pass from the pos
session of the family into that Of the institution
which bears its name and with which IL mas
from its foundation been intimately and insep-
araby associated.
There will be much general pleasure III lne
thought that a spot to the attractiveness OF
which nature and art have both literally con-
trihuted is not to be dsfigured with the use

fact that close by its side Is one of the worlds

THE 0rTLOOK FOR AERIAL TRArEL.

THE OUTLOOF FOR AERIAL TRATEL.
In Germany. France and the United States
there has of late been some talk of establish
ing an airship service between cities separated by
distances of two hundred or three hundred miles.
But it Is fantastic 10 suppose that such n busl-
ness can he placed on a commercial basis, That
the world is to witness the opening Of new era
in transportation In the first place in order
TO meet the interest on the investment and the
operating expenses. an enormous charge for
passage would have TO be made. The exact
cost of one Of Zeppelin's dirigible balloons is
not known, but it probably exceeds 100000,
and may reach $4,000. Yet the largest Of these
airshipS is capable of carrying only from ff-
teen 10 twenty persons. including Mt least one
engineer and q pilot rate of fare high
enough to promise profit would need 10 he
from ten 10 fifty times the price Of n railroad
ticket and after the novelty Of a single sip
had worn off. who would he willing 10 sub
nit TO such demand? Even more absurd Is
It to think of transporting freight in this man
ner.
In the next place, Zeppelin has already de
monstrated the impossiblty of running arships
on schedule time. On many days he has found
a postponement necessary on account of rain or
wind. He has repeatedly been unable to ascend
when he wished, and, when once alOft. to
come down at will. Passengers >grumble if
railway train is delayed III starting or arriving
FIVE or ten minutes. Would they submit to
multiplication of this uncertainty and inCon-
venience by two hundred or three hundred?
Furthermore. in the nature of things. there are
endless possibilities Of accident and of conse-
quent costly injuries to the airship.
AS for the military airship, the function or
such vehicle is not primarily transportation.
No government in The world expects any direct
financial return from the money Il spends for
balloon or aeroplane. any more than it does
from its investment in battleships and fortihca-
tions Besides, the men who will make use of
airships in war may he expected to face the
risks they will incur in the same spirit of devo-
ton to duty that animates soldier or sailor
when going into battle.

question has been not as many at first sup

work. but rather to keep them at work in rea-
sonable efficiency after they were secured. This
problem has been pretty well solved by two
means. One has been to get good men, and the
other to treat them well after getting them
