Sir: The recent Midland Railway hor-

ticularly narrowing from the fact that II

the future. II can be done and IT ought
10 be done at whatever cost. Safety APP
plances and devices that will prevent a
recurrence OF these frequent collisions
have been perfected.
Rear-end collisions must be viewed as
totally ineXcusable. Many opinions have
been ventilated and suggestions offered
by the Law public as 10 the cause Of this
late Midland disaster and as to safe
guards for the future. While the work
ing crew on that III fated train is not en-
tirely blameless. yet the fact remains and
4 must be admitted that the executive Of
ficials and not the train crew are pri-
marly culpable.
II was the duty OF some official 20 see
that coal of the proper kind was supplied
10 that and every engine. When there
was a doubt that this engine could not
generate steam sufficient for the ascent
OF the hill the train should not have been
allowed TO leave Carlisle. The controlling
official here is quoted as thinking II
would consume more time to attach a
pilot than 1t would for the train to con-
tinue on its doubtful Journey
What can be said OF this method OF
reasoning?

Garros's Flight and Ocean Crossing.

1t is not detracting from Roland Garros's tne
achievement in flying from France over the Medi-
terranean TO Africa 10 point out that two hundred
and fifty miles Of his flight were partly above and
always in sight OF Corsica and Sardinia the two big
islands that form an almost continuous causeway
across the sea.
This left only two stretches of open water for
Garros TO cross, the first skip of one hundred
miles from ST. Raphael 10 Corsica and the last a
Jump of one hundred and fifty miles between Cagli-
ari in Sardinia and Bizerta Tunis. AS Cagiari lies
in the centre of the long Sandman coast line facing
Africa Garros therefore few some distance imme-
dately over that island.
Wider water spans have already been crossed by
Garros himself Motors have already been tested
by much greater flights overland. But none Of
these flights should awaken false enthusiasm such
rs is evidenced by those who predict the early
crossing Of the Atlantic by heavier than-ar ma
chine. The best ocean route given lucky conditions
and the same rate Of speed that Garros attained is
thrty-siI hours long. In addition TO the difficulty
Of continuous day and night flying over the open
ocean great technical obstacles have TO be overcome
before aeronautic engineers can build large aero
plane possessing thirty-six hours endurance with
several pilots on board, which must be accomplished
before the trip can be undertaken even as daring
venture.
All feats of flying over great distances hitherto
have been the work Of ships with but one virtuoso
on board, because no engineer has been able 70
build large aeroplane strong enough to withstal
the strains of flight.

The authority of those leaders who are out OF
