Navigating in Fog.

The latest details received as to the
wreck of the Atlantic transport liner
Minnehaha, which went on the docks
of the Scilly Islands several days ago.
and which is likely to prove a total
loss, indicate clearly that the cause
of the disaster was the prevalence of a
heavy fog for several days. This is
the most serious condition with which
a navigator has to deal, worse than
the heaviest storm in the open sea.
During a fog almost anything is apt
to occur from a collision to running
on the rocks. In the Minnehaha's case
the captain had been unable to &C
curateiy locate his position by obser :
walton for some time, and because of
the impenetrable fog the landmarks
could not be seen
Despite the greatest care and the OBJ
servance of every precaution, navigat-
ing in a fog is a most dangerous pro-
ceeding and the avoidance of accidents
is as much a matter of good fortune
as of experience and skill. The loss of
a great liner is a serious matter and
the captain of the Ninnehaiha will have
no doubt to explain the matter both to
the authorities and to the managers
of his line, but until his account of the
affair has been heard and sifted il is
but fair to him to remember that most
anything is liable to happen in a fog
Notwithstanding every precaution.-

Question of HOLIDAYS.

The question of holidays is likely to
become serious as the fashion grows
of honoring this or that person or his
toric event by the sacrifice of a days
work There must be limits, for in the
nature Of the case only 80 such annual
tributes can be paid But why should
all memorials be annual? For the
minor events an observance once in 10
years would be quite adequate honor.
And why need observance of a day in
volve idIeness? Every family has its
own anniversaries, sad or joyous,
which it observes without breaking
the routine of its duties. Work ought
TO be regulated not by sentimental
nl-cuIVes, but by the most careful con-
Sideration of the good of the greatest
number 1t concerns not the dead but
the living and those yet to live. Holt
DAYS are as important as work days,
but they should be measured and
placed with regard to productive ca
pacity and recuperation, not fitted ar
bitrarily to dates associated with his
torical events. Unless this principle is
adopted and firmly adhered to there is
danger or having the year encum bered
with memorial holidays introduced to
meet the demands of some limited
class-one such concession being apt
TO lead to another offset. 1t
ought to be matter of course that the
number of working days, like the num-
her of working hours, should be regu-
lated by the needs of the public as a
Whole.-Springfield Republican.

DISAPPEARANCE OF WILDCATS.

The protection and increase of deer

cause the dreaded painter was only

some risk of being hunted, too, and
may, perhaps, get a better idea of the
curious reasoning By which the lord
of creation assumes his right to scare
every living thing out of his way so
long as he himself is safe. Anybody

THEY STOOD BY THE SHIP.

Last week seven brave sailors out
of a crew of twenty-five distinguished
themselves by sticking to the ship,
after the captain and the remainder
of the crew had deserted the ship.
The steamer Santurce came into col
lfsion with the oil tank steamer Lii
gonier off the New Jersey coast. The
whole after part of the Santurce was
under water in moment. The water
covering the decks clear to the main
mast There were twenty-five men on
the vessel when she was struck. Six
teen of them promptly leaped for the
Ligonier and got aboard. The oil
tank dropped a boat to take off the
six men left, the first mate of the San
leap, going along The six declined
the help and their first mate joined
them The other vessel disa ppeared in
the fog. The crippled steamer was
left alone upon the waves, utterly
helpless had the wind risen, a death
trap if the sea had come up. But the
seven men stuck by her and into port
they brought her bows high, stern un-
der water, a mere semblance of a boat.
The world loves brave men as we'll
as it loves a lover. These were true
mariners who by standing at their post
in peril took the Santurce into port
which was much better than deserving
her as a derehct and leaving her adrift
to imperil the great liners of the ocean
