The arrmnl repcrt of the supervising1 inspector grneral of steanibr.als, which has just been made publie in the form of an abstract, contains a rcghv interesting' inter-esting' exhibit of the nun.be rf of lives U.st ;:t sea fruv.i Amerieur. vtsssel- (Ir.r-ir.' (Ir.r-ir.' the l.'.st calencar year, ljcetber wita other important correlated information. infor-mation. It appears from this document th.-it ihe total number of persons tlrowiiiil, cr who came to the'ir cealh in other ways, was 404, which is a considerable consid-erable increase over the previous year, when the acgrepate of fatalities was 123 less. This increase was due to the foundering of the steamer Portland off the Massachusetts coast during the great pale on the night of November 27, JSOs. Kvery ' ne of the 127 persons on board perished. Of the total of 404 86 fatalities were chargeable to accidental drowning, 213 persons went down with wrecks, 13 succumbed to fires, 31 were killed in collisions. 2t were the victims of explosions ex-plosions or of accidental escape cf steam, and in 37 cases miscellaneous causes were reported. The chapter on destruction of vessel property shows that 43 vessels met with accidents, seven had fires, 13 were in ?oilisirr., right experienced a breaking of steam pipes, two had explosions and 19 encountered snags and wrecks or developed leaks. As the duty of the supervising inspector general's office is to ascertain whether steam vessels have com lied with all the safety requirements require-ments in t he matter of live-saving appliances appli-ances and relative to the condition of boirs the report may be considered a favorable exhibit. The destruction of the Portland was not due to laxness on the part of inspectors, but to the recklessness reck-lessness of her captain, who insisted on putting out to sea in the teeth of a fierce storm. I Except for this disairter, the loss of life woultl have been comparatively small. Only two vessels were damaged by explosions an excellent i ecord con sidering the extent of. steam water traffic. Baltimore Herald. American Soldiers Praised. The behavior of the American sol diers in the far east has attracted attention at-tention in all parts of the world. So recently as just before the outbreak of the Transvaal war the Daily Mail, of Grabamstown.

Practically Prac-tically every man in the volunteer forces has been under fire almost continuously con-tinuously since February 4. and in addition ad-dition to constant fighting has never had a moment's freedom from anxiety as to possible maneuvers of skulking, wily foes, who know every inch of the country, and know how to take advan-tageof advan-tageof its potentialities. The lineshave been so long that it has been necessary to keep every regiment to the front. The regulars have had amost the same experience, but not quite as much of it.

One Hundred Reason aa Stated by Eaarllatt Bachelors Why They Never Married. The writer was allowed to look at the book of membership of the largest bachelor club in the Midlands. Each roember stated after his signature signa-ture why he joined the club; and, as no one is allowed to become a member until un-til he is 30 years old, these reasons should be studied by the other fellows' sitters, says Stray Stories. Takings random 100, the writer found that 30; members were still suffering from the wounds of a jilting; 20 owned that they couldn't stand the idea of having some woman always near them who had aright to continually talk; 12 considered, that women got in the way of men's 'yvovk,' and never helped their husbands; eight feared the continual in-JrtVhce'iit in-JrtVhce'iit mofj.e.trsp.-jaw, rixf eor-sidered eor-sidered that no man should ally himself with a creature who spent her time in gossiping and wearing new clothes; .-even could not find their ideal woman ; six dreaded the noise of children; five, wlio had joined at the same time, had given their lives up to trying to discover what good women had ever tlone in the world, and three owned candidly that they did not taking into consideration the worry of marriage, the greater amount of work the husband had to do, tho chance of not marrying the right girl and the risk of having their gray-hairs gray-hairs brought iu sorrow to the grave by the doings of their offspring consider the game worth the candle. It only now remains for some bach-.oress bach-.oress club to state tiieir reasons for lessed singleness, and the reasons may e removes. AMERICA'S LOCOMOTIVES Wonderful Kngtnea Are Ready for Any ISmerajeney Which May Confront Thm. The American locomotive engineer deems it advisable to design his engine with a large margin of power. If an express engine is designed to take a 200-ton 200-ton load at 50 miles an hour, and if that load should happen to be increased to ."500 tons, the locomotive is still expected to be able to take it and keep time, and usually does so. Such, at any rate, is the experience of such an impartial and level-headed observer as Mr. W. M. Ac-worih. Ac-worih. If an American express be late at one point of its journey the engine is expected to make up the lost time even if the load, be larger than usual. And, again, this is generally done, says the Engineering Magazine. But if an English engine is given a single coach above its prescribed load the driver at once insists upon having a "pilot," and commonly he gets oue. Or should the weather be bad, with strong side wind or a slippery rail, he demands an assisting engine, and is accorded one, as a matter of course. Obviously this applies ap-plies especially to the case of singie-wheelers, singie-wheelers, which are so largely used on some English railways because iheir range of power is much more sharp'y limited by adverse conditions than is the case with coupled engines. But in either case it seems indisputable that a smaller range of power is given to an English locomotive than to an American. Ameri-can. Meteors Prefer Morn Inn. An interesting and significant fact is that the average hourly number of meteors me-teors is only half as great in the evening even-ing as in the morning and in the evening even-ing their velocity is lower. The reason is that at sunset we have before ns the point in the heavens from w hich we are moving in our orbital journey around the sup, while the morning w e face the point toward which we are advancing: in the evening we are in the rear of the earth, at sunrise in front. This increase in-crease in the numbers and speed of the morning meteors is just what ought to happen if they are bodies moving indiscriminately indis-criminately in oil directions under the sun's attraction, and with the velocity (about 2G miles a second) which a body-would body-would acquire in falling tow ard the sun from a distance very great as compared with the sise of our planetary orbits.

Lieut. Hugh J. McElgin, of the Forty-seventh Forty-seventh infantry, now in Manila, is, it is asserted, the youngest officer in the volunteer service. He has only just passed his nineteenth birthday, says the New York Herald. He belongs in Brooklyn, N. Y. When the war began he enlisted with bis brother in Col. Grant's regiment, the Fourteenth. As he had been trained in the College cadet corps of St. Francis Xavier's, this city, he had charge of recruits re-cruits at Camp Black and Chickamauga. In the latter camp he was stricken w it ti typhoid fever and was sent back to Brooklyn unattended and in a seemingly seem-ingly flying state, under conditions of the most shocking inhumanity. He recovered re-covered at home and was mustered out with the regiment. He then stood a competitive examination examina-tion for Representative Clayton's ca-detship ca-detship at Annapolis and came out as the alternate. When the Forty-seventh regiment was organized he got his commission. com-mission. In his company t here are men who have served in half a dozen wars, and they regard him as a baby soldier.
