OCEAN TRAVEL r!

We have recently been scanning
volumes of "Chambers's Papers Tor
! the People published many years
ago in Edinburg. The work consists '!sil
in the main of interesting tracts, ana
has long been out Of print. The vel
umes WHICH we are reading were
printed in 1855, one of which contains
an article entitled Ocean Routes
The writer exuberantly details the
advent of steam power on the Allan
tic Ocean, and tells of the voyage OF
the Savannah" the first steam YES
sci to cross the Atlantic in 1919. He
then describes the advent Ct tn"
"Sirius." the "Great Western and
other pioneer steam vessels. The an
thor seems greatly enthuscd in tell
ing OF the regularity of the ocean
ferry IL the early forties, alleging.
that passengers could tell the day on
which they could take dinner in New
York. Boston or Liverpool. Il re-
CURED from twelve to eighteen days
to cross the Atlantic in these days.
Recently the voyage has beer made
in five days, eleven hours and one
minute.
TIE author Of tbs Article also t"'lS
CT the appearance CT the Collins
il Line of steamers, OF American b.ili,
which were to be competitors Il
the present Cunard Line. Some Of
our older readers will remember the
steamers of the American Line, large
paddle-wheel specimens CT marine
architecture. The steamers Of this
lire were the Arctic. Adriatic, Baltic.
Pacific and Atlantic. The last tw'
appeared at Alexandria during our
civil war. The Baltic lay off what is
how the Virginia Shipbuilding Corpo-
ration's. plant in 1861. She su5<e-
duently started for u trip TO = souta-
ern port, but ran aground i'll the
Kettle Bottoms, where she remained
for some time.
The Atlantic visited Alexandra il
1865, and was berthed at the foot OF
King street, where many persons
went aboard and inspected what VS.
then one of the largest ocean going
steamers afoat.
The democratic administration Vi
ante bellum days refused to subSi-
die the Collins Line. and the ente"
prise failed. The British government
came to the rescue Of the Cunard
Line, ana it is still in operation.
The writer of the article referred
to above was jubilant over conditions
existing in his day, and says they
were suggestive of the stories Of the
"Arabian Nights Entertainment"
What would he think in the twentieth
century. when it is known almost to
the hour when a ship will reach
either side of the ocean, and when
communication can be kept up all the
time With the ship BY the use OF wire
less telegrapLy, az is the case with
the George Washington upon
which President Wilson is making
voyage TO France? 1t is known that
he vii! reach Brest on Friday.

2O6 MEN MADE
MILLION A YEAR
IN j. S. IN 1916

An analysis Of the income tax re-
turns Of last year made public by the
Treasury Department contains some
interesting figures covering distribu-
tion OF incomes in this country.
These incomes were derived in 1916
before the new revenue law was franz
ed. They reveal, among other things,
that in that year more than twice as
many persons enjoyed incomes from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year than there
were those having incomes from 81 600
to $1,000. Also that there were 2o6
persons with incomes over $1,000. 900
and $40 with incomes between $500 900
and S1,OOO.OOO.
The following table shows how
wealth was distributed and how 1t in
creased in three years:
