 The development proceeds from the k1own English form to the unknown French form with constant compari- sons and contrast of the two lan- guages. The models precede the rules, the salinet features being made prom 'inent by heavy type. The rules cover the necessary facts of the language as simply and completely as possible, but the student Is not confused by masses of exceptions, peculiarities and idioms, rarely seen and still more rarely used. The vocabulary, of mod crate extent, is composed of ordinary words likely to be used in every day conversation, and is increased slowly.

INCLINED TO BLAME SPEED

Withhold Judgment.

Men prominent In IN. shipping world were
Ioath Yesterday 10 give opinions on the
manner in which the Titanic was lost
There was a general feeling 10 withhold
Judgment until II Is learned whether the
vessel hit an Iceberg head on or was ripped
below her waterline by a submerged berg
Speed and enthusiasm were held by one
man 10 be responsible more than anything
else for the disaster
Here was the biggest steamship in the
world" nc said. coming to this country
on her maiden trip. She hao on board a
big list OF wealthy passengers enthusiastic
over the voyage, which. UP 10 the time OF
the collision, had been success In every
way on board was the head OF the line
watching every move I'm the handling OF the
vessel, and IL is only natural that those IN
charge Of her were anxious TO push her
into this port on her maiden voyage In rec
ord time They would have done II had II
not been for the Ice. One can hardly blame
the master. for perhaps every one on board
was as enthusiastic over the voyage as
those who were driving her. Speed, per-
hans may be the answer when the story Is
told"
H. T AIdrich publisher OF Marine En-
gineering" who is familiar with steam
ship construction, was OF the opinion that
IL the Titanic was ripped below the water
line the terrific pressure OF water at a
depth of thirty feet would have helped
break her up
1T Is hard TO realize" he said what
crushing force the entering water would
have on a bulkhead which could not be
scientifically braced
Another point which few people realize
is the explosive effect of the suddenly com
pressed air I'm the compartments. For eX-
ample. a captain ] know was standing on
the bridge Of his ship In the harbor OF
Ruenos Ayres and witnessed collision
between two nearby ships. The vessel
which struck an anchored ship. tore a
large hole In her side huge cascade OF
tons and tons Of water poured into the
hole. and the air inside was compressed so
suddenly that the battened-down hatches
ON the deck blew ljO feet into the air. The
air had 10 get out somewhere. In the case

pressure of the air must have strained the
