Another horrible sea tragedy has oc-
Cured. Again the whole world is
shocked at the burning Of steamship
in mid-oeean and the loss of hundreds
Of lives. Coming as it does while the
loss of the great steamship Titanic is
fresh 10 the minds of every one the
tragedy of the Volturno is 3oubly
shocking.
Let Us hope there is nothing in the
statement that this latest Of sea trag-
edies was caused by business
rivalry" and bomb: that the ship
with its precious human freight was
set on Ere. Surely mans wickedness
cannot be so deep dyed in crime and
SO wickedly far-reaching. that human
life is not considered when vengeance
is sought.
Let Us trust not, at least.

WHAT AERIAL EXPERIMENTS ARE
WORTH.

The feats of NJ. Pegoud. the we'll
known a,rman who recently turned
somersauts in midair with his aero
plane and also flew some distance up
side down. constituted for some days
the chief topic OF conversation IN avia-
ton and other circles. To prove that
an aeroplane can be sufficiently well
designed TO stand such strain is use
ful. and it is satisfactory TO know that
there are pilots today who are willing
and able to perform such feats in the
interests Of aviation.
1t is, however, possible TO attach too
much value to such experiments and
thereby encourage others to emulate
feats they would be we'll advised not TO
attempt. After the first moment of
surprise and admiration of NJ. Pegoud' 8
performance. those whose experience
and opinion are of value maintain that,
remarkable as was the accomplish
ment, it has proved little beyond the
fact that NJ. BleuOt was correct in his
hhsETAlON tndJ uS 1Ndto NotASNA wv az
aeroplane strong enough to stand the
strain.
Fired by the spirit of competition, a
Russian officer has accomplished SINH
lar feats TO those of NJ. PegOud. He
spent much time in thinking out and
practising the various evolutions neces-
sary to enable him to fly head down
wards. being determined % insure sue
cess if possible.
Ii is interesting to note how differ
emily the two men were subsequently
treated by their respective govern
ments. France, as ready to encourage
experiments as she is determined to
maintain her lead In the matter of
aeroplanes and dirigibles. has proposed
that some official recognition should be
made of M. Pegouds performance in
the interests of aviation. whilst Russia,
less free of the red tape of bureaucracy
has. IL the newspaper reports are cor
rect, censured and dned NJ. Pegoud's
emulator tor plotting his aeroplane In
so unorthodox a manner.
Reckless experiments are certainly
TO be discouraged. but to censure a
man for having achieved what will al
ways rank as a remarkable feat. ac-
complished after due consideration,
will surely tend rather to prevent prog
ress than TO encourage the develop
ment of new ideas. Christian Science

NATIONAL BANKERS GET RICH.
Ono New York Institution Has Made
Over $8O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Enormous
profits by the First National Bank of
| New York were recounted to-day by
Geo. f. Baker, chairman OF the board
OF directors OF the bank, a witness
| before the House money trust COM
mittee. Mr.. Baker furnished the
committee with records showing that
since it's organization in 1863 with a
capitalization of 100000, the bank
has made profits amounting to more
than $SO,O0O,0O0.
In the four years since 1898, Mr..
Baker told the committee, the bank
! had paid dividends Of 226 per cent,
or more than twice the total capitali-
| cation, which is now $4,000, 900.
When the capital was increased TO
that amount iii 1901, special div-
dend of $9,500,0OO was declared, Mr..
Baker said, to enable the stockhold-
ers to take up the. additional invest
ment. In 1908, in order to provide
100000 Of capital for the organi-
zation of the First Securities Com
pany to take over the business which
the bank could not do under the law"
Mr.. Baker said, a special dividend Of
$lO,OOO,OOO was declared. This was
in addition to the regular yearly divi-
dends.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, from facts supplied by Mr..
RD no1 LOT hnt H..
sumed the presidency Of the First Ma
tional in 1878, that institution has
paid dNidends Of 1850 per cent on
its original capitalization.
Mr.. Baker fatty opposed the sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Untermyer that
national banks be required to make
public their assets in order that de-
positors and stockholders might
the banks, the witness declaring that
he saw no possible good that could
conc of such provision.
That there is no improperly in
one man holding directorships in two
or more potentially competitive
banks, railroads or industrial corpo-
rations was another statement made
by Mr. Baker. Mr.. Untermyer re-
viewed with him a long list Of rail-
roads, in which he was a director,
some of which the lawyer held were
potentially competing lines. Mr.. Ba-
ker declared that it was rather an ad-
vantage to hold such directorships,
panies can thus be readily adjusted.
"Such a situation," he continued,
is often beneficial to all parties con-
cerned."
