Scientists have concluded that, ow-
ing to the enormous weight of the
boilers and engines of the Titanic.
amounting to several hundreds of tons
and also the hundreds of thousands
of tons of coal and freight, the mo-
mentum at the time the ship struck
the iceberg must have been similar
to that Of an avalanche and great
enough to carry away the bullSheads
as though they were so much paper,
thus allowing the water to enter the
destroyed bow and 90 to all parts
of the ship without hindrance. They
reason that it was not the destruc-
tion of the bow that caused the ship
to sink, but the tearing away of the
bulkheads, caused by the great mo-
mentum, produced by the weight of
the ship together with its speed. The
Titanic could have lost one hundred
feet of the bow or could have been
cut in two in the middle without the
ship going down. If this theory, which
is plausible one, is to be accepted,
then it must be concluded that when
the SHIPPED struck the iceberg, the boil
ers and engines being torn loose, the
fastenings and steam pipes were
broken, causing the steam and gases
TO escape which would cause the i'm
mediate death of every one in the
hold.

There is world of heroic and tragic
significance in the fact that he sur
vivors stories of the last ho IS Of the
Titanic make no reference whaeeves
to the thirty five officers of the en-
gineer force. OF the officers Of the
deck there is frequent mention and
many of them are among the sur
vivors. This is natural and proper,
for they were standing at their posts
Of duty. We read also of farewells
between them and other officers whose
duties were concerned with the well
fare of the Titanic's passengers; but
in all the records of those final event
ful hours there is not mention of
any of that band of men whose du-
ties called for their presence far down
in the deepest recesses Of the ship.
In the roll of the saved there is
not the name of single certified en-
gineer. Why this literal silence of
the grave? There can be but one an
swer. Every man of the engineer
watch stuck to his post to the very
last and went down with the ship.
Furthermore, this devotion to duty
leads US to believe that such engi-
neers as were not on watch may have
voluntarily gone below to render what
assistance they could in the sudden
and frightful emergency.
This heroic devotion on the part of
little recognized body of profes-
sional men, the Importance of whose
duties on board ship is overlooked by
the average transatlantic passenger,
will make an even greater impression
upon our minds if we remember that
they, above everybody else on that
ship, must have known that she had
received her death wound and that
the hour of her sinking might be de
layed, but not by any possibility avert
ed. While those above deck, con
scious of the enormous magnitude of
the Titanic, were exclaiming, you
cannot sink her" these men standing
on the double bottom of the ship may
possibly have seen the submerged
edge of the iceberg come ripping
through the sides of the ship, opening
up boiler room after boiler room to
the savage thrush of the water!
The bunkers, we learn, were ar
ranged transversely to the ship. Hence
if the bilges or side plating were
ruptured, the thrush of water must
have occurred before the very eyes of
the engineers; and to the seafaring
man there is no sight before which
his courage will quail so quickly as
this. Nevertheless, there is every
reason to believe that not man
flinched from the trial. Steam was
maintained in such boiler rooms as
were not invaded by the water; the
powerful bilge pumps were kept go
ing to the very last minute; and the
electric lighting plant was watched
over, evidently with most careful So
licitude. 1t is certain the pumps alone
must have very materially delayed the
sinking of the ship; and the value, in
that hour of terrible stress, of the
work done by the electrical engineers
in keeping the lights going until the
last trace of the ship had disappeared,
it is impossible to overestimate.-Sci-
entific American.

NEW ROADS, La, May 9.-By tear
ing away 1,400 feet of the south end
of the Torras levee a wall of water
from eight to ten feet deep and a
half mile wide today is bearing
down upon the already overflowei
area of Pointe Coupe, 81, Landry and
several other parishes.
New Roads, heretofore considered
practically safe from the Torras flood,
is rapidly becoming inundated. Boats
are being built and other preparations
made by the town people for It hurried

thickly settled, much rescue work will
be required. Farmers, driving their
livestock in the advance of the flood

Looters in skiffs are reported reap
ing a rich harvest in the inundated
country Many houses from which
their occupants were hastily driven
have been broken open and robbed.
The size of the families among the
refugees is surprising. One robust
white woman had sixteen children
strung out after her when she climb

today. Mothers with eight, nine ant
ten children are numerous among peo-
