New York; Feb. 6. rou've noticed that the ery day or so a steamer limps into sort to complain that a big wave sneaked up on her during the voyi and bit a chunk out of her funnels. Then the stories of wrecks begin to come in. Always tacked to the end, is the brief statement that a United States revenue cutter took off the sur- vivers or towed the hulk into port. That's the job of the revenue cutter. It's a sort of traffic “cop” of the coast. It looks after the lame ducks of the coastwise traffic and seines the seas for derelicts and represses mutinies and grabs poachers and does all the jobs that must be done and tbat no one else will attend to. The proper rev- enue cutter man is always competent, never gets excited, would go through a powder mil] striking phossy jaw matehes if he had to, and does not lose his temper until some pleasing civilian tells him it must be a grand thing to belong to the navy. Then he unhob- bles_his goat. Revenue Cutters Do the Work. “The navy,” the revenue cutter man will tell you, “is the show window of T'ncle Sam’s seagoing outfit. We do the work.” And he isn't far from right. No ‘doubt a navy is necessary, like boils in the spring, and there can be no doubt that we have a good navy, because . none of the stips have taken ground in weeks and weeks. But when it comes to delivering the goods so you can find ’em on the inventory the rev- enue cutter service is the real twill The last report of the secretary of the treasury shows that during the fiscal vear 1912 the Umited States revenue cutters returned $4.36 in the form of property saved from the sea for every dollar expended on it. By way of lag- niappe the revenue cutters actually saved 106 persons from drowning and took on beard 275 persons in_distress. while 2.212 others were on board of essels assisted. Forty-five derelicts re destroyed or removed and in recognition of the cream puff appetite of this vain world thirty-one parades &y vegalias were policed. In return eongress cut the appropriatior $128,000 felow what it was two years ago. England Wants to Know. Great Britain has a better apprecia- fon of the value of our revenue cutter gervice. In numerous international maritime cenferences the suggestion has been made that the sea using na- tions build derelict destroyers. The United States is the only nation that did build, and the destroyer Seneca has been so valuable that England has asked for a report to guide her own building. That laquiry came at a time when the service needed a kind word, too. The appropriation has been cut so low that the cufters gre not repaired any more—they are only patched and cob- bied—and to “malke sure of economy coneress forbade the appointment of cadets. There are actually not enough officers in the crop coming on to fill the vacancies' existing. The school ship Ttasca is being used for relief pur- poses. The wireless installation on the cutters is bekind the times—and they need the wireless every day—and be- cause the cutters can have but two operators the men work twelve hour shifts. But one forgets such things in admiration for what the men of the cutter service have done. Townsend Bill Is Approved. ere are seven cutters in 'the New division:~of which the Seéneca and wk are stationed at headquarters, s Apuche 1t at Baltimore, the Onon- daga :t Norfolk, the Seminole at Wil- n, the Algonquin at Porto Rico, e Miami at Key West.

If the Townsend $ill becomes a law the revenue cutter mervice will be merged with the life- /saving service under the title of the coast guard. This bill 18 approved by the men of both services. For one thing, it’ will enable the life guards to retire on half pay. At present, when they retire they go to clamming or starve. The two services are so nearly allied that it seems folly to have kept them separated. For years the officers of the revenue cutters have been charged with certain supervisory du- ties ever the life savers. They are Jacks of All Jobe They have also been charged with every other duty that ism’t specifically hitehed to some one else, it seems. There was the case of the Haytian navy, for example. The Ferrier had been a New York mam’s yacht. Haytl ‘bought her :and made her into a gun- boat. Then no one remembered to pwi il on her engines. so that when she started for New York to be re- pained they broke dowm helplessly off the Bermmda beach.

Effort Made to Learn How Many a Street Car Will Hold. At last the hour of the great experi- ment arrived. The grandstands were packed. So was the street car that stood in the middle of the field. “The car now holds fifty passengers,” reported the announcer, through his megaphone. The spectators cheered, but only for a rfmomeént, for they knew that fifty passengers constituted only a begin- ning of what the trolley company could do when it put its mind to the task. From the clubhouse at the corner of the fleld a crowed of laborers rushed waving their coats and dinner pails. They swarmed aboard the car, and the man with the megaphone cried: “Ninety-five passengers!” Applause greeted his words, vet the noise made by the onlool s from Clinton Hill and Belleville was not en- thusiastic. Many a time had they known the register to record 100 fares. The Inspector in charge of the ex- periment now asked for volunteers, and a company of old ladies with market baslcets wemt farth into the arena. Slowly and painfully they mounted the waist-high step and crushed their way inside. The megaphone called: “One hundred and twenty-five pas- sengers.” Muffled screams could be heard from inside of the car, and the motorman could be seen fighting back the people who had been pushed out upon the front platform. - “Still more room,” shouted the con- ductor. Tweuty school teachers climbed aboard and passed throush the door. “Omne hundred and foriy-five.” The sides of the car were groaning under the terrible strain. So were the passeavoers. The inspector looked toward the roy- albox, where the head officials of the company sat. “Shall 1 stop?” were the words that his look expressed, but the trolley officials peinted their thumbs down- ’ ward. “Bring on the stout men's squad.” i the Inspector ordered, and fifteen beer 1 wagon drivers swaggered up and went | inte the car. “Making one hundred and sixty pas- the annunciator declared. :muit of cheering that greeied the successful loading of the old ladies and the school teachers hasd changed 1 to an outery of pity. The vast audi- ence turned to the royal box with out- streiched hands, imploring that the cruel exhibition be ended. But the royal box sat unmoved. A party of strong-arm police now stepped upon the platform and rushed the doot, flourishing blackjacks. i Twice they flung themseives into the rl car, only to be repelled.
