soundings, a man can't get accurate
depths when he doesn't know IL the
seas lifting them a couple of fathoms
above the normal, or dropping him
twelve feet beneath it."
Good lord, skipper, you can't expect
us to stay and be seasick here for an
other mortal week"
Il was going to say, sir, that we're
low on coal, and have made big hole
in the water and stores. 1t would be
best if you'd take the Kangaroo back
to the islands for bunkers and provis-
ions. You'll be back here again before
I'm ready. And you'll find Mr.. Ire
thewy perfectly competent navigator,
and you'll not miss the six men want
to keep"
"And leave you here to grill in that
two penny boat? My dear fellow, that
comes inside the cruelty clause. We
couldn't sleep for thinking of you.
Don't you agree, Violet?''
Il shall take along a spare awning
and couple of spars to make tent,
and 1 marked down In my eye an
island that's just the place for camp
There didn't seem to be fuel, so we
shall need couple of bags of coal, but
with those and rations we shall be
comfortable enough till you return;
and indeed, sir, if you come to think
the business out, there's no other way
for it,"
So the scheme was agreed to, and
Kettle fitted his boat, and went below
to say goodbye to Miss Dubbs before
making his adieus to her employers on
deck.
But that stately young person gave
him a very chilly reception. She was
vastly civil, one might almost say Of
fensively SO, but as far as a tempera-
ture of some eighty-three degrees
Fahrenheit would permit, her conversa-
ton was Ice.
A sentence or two passed before
Captain Kettle observed this. AS has
been recorded before, their mode of
addressing one another was always
elegantly formal, and at first he
thought that the lady's remarks were
built on this model, and not studously
designed to denote offense.
But presently she left him beyond
possible doubt as to her meaning.

sir, I'm grateful for what you say. I
was a good deal upset last night. But

pocket I couldn't have looked for her
more keenly, nor would my duty to

old girls name that first night at the

Question is now, taking this steamboat
in through those reefs. It's going to
be job and a half
"Sir, with respect, I can take any
steamboat that's built through any

to float her. But when I'm put to be-

"Presumbly the Norman Towers

AVIATION VS. FOOTBALL.

The striking assertion that aviation
row is as safe as football is made In
an article appearing in the Popular
Mechanics magazine. This article,
which tabulates the aviation fatalities
of 1872 and comments on the death
rate among airmen for several years
past, states:
"Tha number of airmen during each
wear. including all others as well as
the licensed pilots, works out pretty
closely to five in 1908; SO In 1909; 500
In 1910: 1900 in 1911, and $500 IN
1912.
"Now, making few simple deduc-
+,ons from the foregoing data, it is
easv to calculate that In 1908 there
was a fatality for each thousand miles
Of flight: in 1909, one for each 7,o0O
miles: In 1910, one for each 10000
miles: in 1911, one for each 10000
miles and in 1912 one for each 100000
miles. It is equally evident that IN
1908. one in five Of the airmen were
titled: in 1909, one in IL; in 1910, one
In IL; in 1911, one in 20, and IN 1917,
one in 81.
"On the face of it, then, aviation has
consistently and rapidly improved in
safety from year to year, until now 1t
IL at least ten times as unlikely to kill
a person engaged in it as it was IN
1908. And in spite of this reduced
danger per individual, there is still
greater reduction OF danger per unit
Of mileage, 100000 miles Of flight be-
ing row accomplished with the same
toll Of human life that only four years
ago was paid for each thousand miles.
"Yet ninety-nine persons out OF every
hundred are impressed with the idea
that aviation, which had killed less
ytl,an half a dozen individuals four
Years ago, has grown into something
terribly dangerous, when as a matter
Of fact. aviation commenced as some
thing very hazardous and has develop
ed already into something fully 80 per
cent less risky, until now flight In an
aeroplane is far safer than a ride in
racing automobile, and is only about as
hazai dous as participation In a foot.
ball game, which, for numbers and
time of individuals engaged, rolls up
substantially an equal fatality list"

IF THE OFFICIALS WERE GOOD
THE SYSTEM MUST HAVE BEEN
RAD

If our previous mayors and councils
were good men, the system of city gov
eminent under which they have had to
work must be bad or those good men
couldn't have gotten the city in debt
SO far that it had to humiliate itself to
ask the legislature to pass a special
act legalizing its illegal debts con-
tracted by those officials under the
present system. The city owes about
a hundred thousand dollars more than
it ought to. If the officials have all
been competent men then, then there
is manifestly no need of further evil
dence of the viciousness of the present
system of city governmental convicts
itself. The system and not the men,

miserably, "but thought that was all
