protection against leaks, proved almost
equally efficacious iu preventing the
rapid spread Of fire.
Another wonder was the stilling Of the
angry waves by oil. In itself it was
nothing very new, but this was the first
time that such an experiment had been
tried on SO large scale. Shore readers
however, must not understand that the
oil smoothed the surface of the ocean.
That would be impossible no matter how
much oil was spread. The ocean waves
never cease; in wind or calm the waves
roll always. What the oil does is to
smooth the surface of the waves and
convert the crests of foam and spray that
the wind forms at the top of the waves
into smooth round tops. The great
waves in themselves are not very dan
gerous to small boats, it is the broken
water of the crests that throws the hoats
about and swamps them.
But the wonder of ALL the almost
miraculous wonder, was tie work of the
wireless. That fleet of great ships that
''stood- -by'' the "Volturno'' during that
awful night was spectacle never equal
ed and undreamed of but few years
ago. And not only that but the wireless
called for special ship, and far in the
distance came the answer, which should
be memorable in history, "We will be
there with the milk" Perhaps, among
the wonders of modern science the wire-
less and its results, present and future,
stands at the head.
Concluding, we want to call attention
to few lines of the telegraph reports,
which speaking of the first boat launch
ed by one of the rescuing ships, said that
after two hours the boat returned to it's
ship with only three oars left, the rest
being broken or lost. Only seaman
who has had experience in boat in a
heavy sea can fully read between the
lines and realize what heroism, what
fatigue, what danger those few words
mean. It means the limit of human en-
deavor physically and mentally. There
we're many other boats that had similar
experience that night from other ships.
1t is the best commentary on the reports
that the sailors acted cowardly on the
"Volturno." Trained sailors are never
towards. In seven years experience at
sea the writer never saw sailor but
what was ready and willing to obey
orders IN any dangerous contingency en-
countered. In no other business is
authority so absolute, both in the giving
and obeying of orders, as on board ship.

HUERrA WANTS WAR.

Things are getting warmer than ever in
Mexico. President Huerta ''pro rogued'
his parliament last week by arrest
ing one hundred aud eleven of the mem
bers and putting them IN Jail.
Meantime the rebels are working away
as usual mostly in scattered groups, ap.
parently without any common purpose
What will happen nextit is impossible
to say, only that there seems to be NO
hope Of peace in that country except by
outside interference and the only outside
influence possible Is from this country
and it seems as though it would only be
a question Of short time when we shall
be compelled to restore some semblance
Of order there.
Bnt we are told that as soon as that
happens that the whole of Mexico, in
cluding Huerta's forces and that of the
rebels, will turn against the American
''gringoes.'
The way things are shaping themsel.
yes down there it is not an improbable
supposition that Huerta is working right
along these lines and intending to keep
right on irritating the United States un-
til some collision Of forces occurs, and in
this manner uniting all OF Mexico under
himself and thus become the actual head
OF that country instead Of being the pres.
ident or dictator of part Of it.

Senator LaFollette is urging Congress
to pass bill requiring passenger ships
to carry a certain number of able seamen.
This may sound strange to shore people
but it is fact that the present day ves-
sells while loaded with servants of var
ious kinds, have almost no real sailors.
The Senator is on the right track.

SOME WONDERS OF
THE VOLTURNO DlRASTER

There were some very remarkable
things connected with the "Volturno''
disaster in midocean last week. Some
we're wonders due to modern science,
and some were problems that as yet
science has not provided an answer.
Three elements are the chief friends of
the sailor and are also his chief enemies,
water, land and fire. OF the three, as
enemies, he fears the water least, the
land much more, but fire the most.
When as in the case of the "Volturno'
both the water and fire rise against him,
then indeed he hears in the tolling of
the ships fire bell the notes of funeral
chime.
The dangers Of lowering boats from q
height Of perhaps forty feet, loaded with
forty or fifty or even more people from
the:side of ship that is swaying twenty
or thirty feet sidewise every minute, into
water whose surface is changing up and
down about the same distance can hardly
be appreciated by landsmen. Imagine a
weight Of five tons hung by ropes from a
swaying support thirty or forty feet high
with nothing to prevent it from swing
ing to the perpendieular sides Of the ship
but the efforts of men with boathooks
and oars. that must be dropped into the
water at exactly the right moment, and
the ropes unfastened almost instantly
when it strikes the water, and the reader
can get some idea why the "Volturnos''
boats smashed as they we're lowered.
That boats we're lowered from the other
ships with comparative safety is explain
ed by the fact that they only had boats
crew on board when lowered, who were
not impeded by the weight and crowd
ing of many passengers.
At present there is no safe way of low.
ering a ships boats in q seaway. Here
is chance for the inventor.
Another remarkable phase Of the dis
aster was that it was possible for . ship
to burn fiercely for nearly twenty-four
hours and remain afloat. An old fash.
ioned wooden vessel would have not last
Cd moro than two hours and at the end
OF that tune no living person could have
remained on her decks. Tho former

Find Friends in the
Minneapolis Y. M C.. A.

The Minneapolis Y. M. G. A. has add.
I'd new department to its already large
and varied activities. This department
is especially for the young man away
from home and through it's activities al.
ready from so to 100 men who have
broken home ties and are entering upon
life in strange city are being helped
every month to find good homes and tc
make new friendships.
When young man leaves his home
and goes to larger city to locate he is
Immediately confronted with the questitn n
of finding place to live. This is "a,
more serious question, especially in q
large city, than the average young man
who has been. accustomed to good
home realizes. His room and place
where he rooms is now to serve as his
home. If it compares favorably with
the home he has just left, his struggle
with the city with it's hosts of strange
surroundings and conditions will be
made easier, but if he has to return after
a days work to an uncongenial, un.
pleasant home or to one where the influ.
ence is not good, his new life is very
likely to become discouraging and un.
safe.
The Young Mems Christian Associ.
alton OF Minneapolis. knowing the lonli-
ness, the dangers and also the large in
fiuence of the first days of young
mans life away from home among
strange surroundings, is especially
anxious to become friend to the strang.
ers coming to that city and to help them
form new friendships of the right kind
and to get established in safe and
pleasant homes. 1t has therefore estab-
lished this new department. Mr.. j. z.
Nebbergall. formerly State Secretary of
the Young Mems Christian Associations
OF South Dakota, is the secretary in
charge and is developing large Board
and Room Directory. Every room is
thoroughly investigated and and all the
Information possible is learned about the
nomellfe OF the family and intelligent
consideration IS given the case of every
young man applying for a room, in an
endeavor to locate him in just the right
home to meet his special needs. After
he is thus located this department
further provides social functions, vel.
comes him to the Association building,
helps him make new friends, refers his
name to some young man in the church
OF his choice and does whatever others
things seem to be needed to help him
get properly located and established in
his new location.
