Buffalo, y. Y.-Late the other after.
noon the police were notified by tele.

The reserves were sent out at once
and found Patrolman Tom HAYES on
guard over a dead goat A live wire
dangling from pole. the multitude of
children explained, had been a TEMPT
ing morsel for the goat and it tried
to eat the wire
More than 100 youngsters wanted to
go to the station house and make
statements in reference to the goats
death. Nobody, however. seemed to
know who owned the goat. A boy
said it was carried down the canal on
canalboat more than a week ago
and since then had been claimed by
everyone in the neighborhood
The goat still held the live wire in
its mouth when the police arrived and
its hair was burning The electric
light company turned off the power.
the goat was dragged away. anS- the
excitement ended.

SHIPS WHICH WILL NOT SINK

Once more We hear talk of an unsuitable ship.
remarks the New York Commercial An English
inventor claims to have solved the problem, but
his experiments have been confined to a small
model only four feet in length and nine inches
wide, the problem of applying his system to
vessel 500 or 1000 feet in length is by no means
solved.
Few people outside of practical shipbuilders and
navigators understand the difference between a
large vessel and a small in point of structural
strength. The strongest vessel that floats in the
water H a common rowboat One can take or
binary rowbOat and carry it by the ends it
can rest on ceats under each end without break
ing in the middle, but the strongest man-ofwar
ocean liner that floats today would break in
two if subjected to a similar strain. The larger
a vessel the weaker il becomes in this respect,
and for this reason many apparently good ideas
which work out well in model form have failed
utterly when applied to large vessels.
1t is doubtful il any real progress in building
ships has been made since the days of the Great
Eastern. as far as the OF water-tight compart-
ments and bulkheads is concerned The designer
OF the Great Eastern divided that vessel into Gel
lular compartments. and improvement on this
plan has as yet been made although ii is not used
extensively because it requires too many, matches
for the loading and unloading Of cargo
The invention TO which reference has been
made consists of surrounding the vessel with
watertight belt divided into cells for the purpose
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1913-09-06

OF giving the vessel greater buoyancy as it sinks
In the water There is really nothing new in
this ideea and it has been applied successfully in
building lfeboats and other small vessels. 1t
adds to the width of the vessel above the water
line and the inventor is wrong in claiming that it
would not interfere with its cargo-carrying capa-
city.
Modern steamships safe enough when at
sea, so far as the storms and flashing of the waves
are concerned. The dangers that threaten them
are collisions with other vessels with derelicts or
with icebergs, and of course running ashore or
on rock in dense fog. Take two vessels of
equal size crossing each others paths let one
strike the other amidships and the vessel struck
would be cut in two if the other were going at full
speed The tremendous force OF the blow is al
most beyond calculation. In the case of a YES
sci the size of the new Imperator it would prob
ably be equal to striking force of 5000 900 foot
tons. No cellular belt or any other conceivable
construction would ship under such condi-
tons. The thing to do is to avoid all such risks
as far as possible The Titanic was lost because
its captain had too much confidence in its unsink.
