i&TAe loss Of the dirigible Z-R with
Al Of its passengers is one Of the spec
ticular penalties that civilization
pays for the advancement of science.
Every mechanical or economic step
costs certain toll of life, in sop,
laboratory, Or field. It is only when
the toll is taken in some shocking
disaster, as that at Hull, that the pub,
lie pays more than passing atten-
ton.
