Ry ae THE WASHINGTON: THURspDar. little value is the present system—or lack of sys wem—of marine signals. The rule of the road at Sea, when two vessels approach each other, is to Dut both helms to port, regardiess of aay commu- nication which one vessel has tried to make to the other. The old-fashioned navigator, schooled in the traditions rather than the science of his gets into trouble now and then by Siguailing another craft, at close quarters, to ge: out of his way or do something else than follow the plain law of the situation. If an accident oc- Urs aS the result of this, he takes refuge in tl plea that he sounded his signal first—or, to use the caut phrase of the deck, ne “got the whistle on the other fellow’—and therefore was entitled to ‘the right of way and to nave his commands obeyed. Many a man will do this even now, though maritime courts have repeatediy punished Bis predecessors for making similar blun- ders, In the accounts of yesterday’s disaster, the whistle seems to play a significant part. It ‘Was the Chester that “got the whistle” on the Oveanic, but the Oceanic crashed Into her side no*- Withstanding this warning. If both vessels, Promptly upon hearing each other's whistles, had ut their helms hard to port, they would undoubt- edly have avoided the direct collision at right an- giles which ensued, for they were both moving at the slowest pace. But what is needed for such cases is a system of signals such as has been Feterred to in these columns on one or two occa- ‘Stons lately, in which a ship's whistle shall not aly warn other craft of its approach, but indicate the quarter toward which {ts course is laid. ‘This Would operate asa double precaution; and, while % might aot absolutely rule out collisions, would sreatly reduce the chances and hence the fre- quency of such disasters. oe Into what new conditions ts the earth entering this year? Wuy this series of extraorainary buf- fetings by the elements? The winds and the elowis seem to have formed a mischievous con- Spiracy to pound the earth into a stat of subjec- Yon. The destructive January bilzzard froze and devastated the west. The memorable “arch biiz- zard assauited especially the north and east. Tne August eyctone of tornado has wrougibt Its greatest havoc in the South. Each has been of unusual severity and destructiveness, and in great measure Unexpected. ‘The destroying elements have come And passed, and left men to wonder, and gu-ss, and wisely explain the cause of the disaster, like ants Whose iil has been destroyed by the hoof of a rapidiy passing horse. These are strange days Upon which the world has entered, and exceedingly tryiag to the weather bu- reaa. If the recent winds had postponed Their appearance until a later season whea they could be reinforced by snow clouds inst~ad of ratn clouds, the terrible destruction of the Jan- wary blizzard Would doubtless have been repeated. In View of this fact, and of the possibility that the °33 campaign ot the Winds and clouds against the World may be rounded out by a fourth assault in the approaching winter season, the wise man will make necessary preparations. Among his Precautionary measures he will stop the ehIDKs in his house, fill his coal bins to the polat of overflowing, and demand that the wires upon whieh he depends for communication with the ‘outside world and with his neighbors be placed safely underground, and not left nigh up in the open air to be prostrated in the coltision of the warring elements. ——— a To those pessimists who seein the growth of mechanical improvements only a steady narrow- Ing of the sphere and lowering of the condition of the workincmen, is commended the latest report of the Great Northern Railway in England, It may be remembered by the older generation of newspaper readers that the general introduction of steam railways in Engiand was met with a storm of opposition on the ground that the new system was not only taking their occupation away from the whole trive of stage-drivers, host- Jers, &c., connected with the coaching trade, but doing it solely for the benefit of the arisiocracy, & the common people would never beableto make se of the niga-priced and luxurious ratl-cars. Tue report referred to shows how completely this asgument has been overset by experience. In the Place of the old coaching crew nas grown up an army of eagine-drivers, stokers, expert mechanics, repair-shop “handy men,” train hands, station Keepers, and the lke, which absorbs a larger Share of the working population into its ranks ‘Than the coach system ever employed in its most prosperous days; while“the passenger trafic sta- Ustics show that nearly eighty per cent of the entire income from this source is dertved from the ‘third and lowest class of cars, in which the poorer people ride to save themseives the expense of more elegant accommodations, and efforts are con- stantiy made by rival roads to compete with each other for this espectally profitable class of cus- tom, by increasing the comforts of the cars and giving more courteous attention to the wants of ‘their cecupants. $< -—____ The House will soon be called upon to decide the question of a national zoological garden in the Kock Creek valley. The dectsion will probably ‘turn upon the kind of glasses through which mem- ders examine the project. A Representative who thinks that the special purpose of such an nstitu- ‘ton ts to furnish visttors with a view of two buifa- foes and some mangy monkeys will pronounce the Proposition a scheme fa the interest of Washing- ton chibiren, will calculate the cost of bringing one of his far-away constituents to enjoy the spectacie, and will pronounce against it. Oa the other hand the Representative will act favorably who heeds the representations and Tequests of the American scientific world, and views the 700 as a national institation, like the National Museum, in the opportunities it affords a8 a resort for scientific study and investigation, 4m the free distribution of its dupiteate speciinens te educa:tonal Instttutions, and In the aid It gives tsolated investigators; and aiso as national in the Preservation of those American animals which Orherwise wre destined sona to become extinct, It 4s stated that the published rasuitsot thesctentife Work done tn the London 200 make over 73 large ‘Yolumes, s valuable that no zoologist eap afford to De without them. $< When the discovery was ware that, by a clerical error, ap appropriation of tweuty-fve milion dol.
