A despatch from New York says:â€"Franâ€" cis Inch, the youngest of all transatlantic Captains, and certainly as braye as the bravest of them, the boyish skipper who commanded the doomed Volturno, arrivâ€" od in New York on Thursday night, a paeâ€" eenger on the Red Star liner Kroonland of the rescuing fleet of eleven linere that speeded to the assistance of the Volturâ€" no when the wireless flaehed the news of the disaeter off the Grand Banks. The illâ€"fated Volturno‘s gallant commander was as ‘youthful in appearance as the youngest of his interviewers, and though ® smile played over, his features from the moment he began to tell of the disâ€" covery of the blaze that doomed his ship, there was behind it all a note of sadness. "In the beginning," esaid Capt. Ingh, "I want to say that the Carmania did the very best that she could. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for those galâ€" lant seamen who eteamed fullâ€"speed to the aesistance of my poor ship, and this inâ€" cludes Capt. Barr and the Carmania. Nobody Brutal on Volturno. "Likewise there is absolutely no truth in any story which might create the imâ€" pression that anybody wase brutal during the frightful, trying hours between the discovery of the firs and arrival of the rescuing ships. I never used a revolver or any other weapon to cower the passenâ€" gere into discipline necessary in such éemergencies. As a matter of fact my pJsâ€" tol was burned up in the wreckage of the bridge. I might add that none of mi ofâ€" ficers or any of the seamen used any kind of weapons in the maintenance of order among the passengers. . $ oi _ Commander of the Illâ€"fated Volturno Tells the ' Story of the Great Disaster RCnim it Cue ues Romieeaine. "The losa of our lifeboate immediately following the discovery of the fire is, of course, the saddest chapter in the awful story. It was my first duty to order those boats provisioned and made ready for launching, and the disaster that followed the dropping or the attempt to drop them into that frightful cea indicates better than any words of mine the kind of weaâ€" ther the Volturno faced that day. How Lifeboats Fared. ‘"The first boat to be launched _ wae in command of Chief Officer Miller. It struck the water and immediately seas engulfed it and it was capsized and all in it unâ€" doubtedly lost.. The second boat, which was number six, was lowered under comâ€" mand of poor Langsell, the fourth ofâ€" ficer. In it were about forty people. The boat got away from the ship and was not geen again: The third boat, commanded by Boatewain Sunderstrohm, was lowered and had about fifty of the steerage pasâ€" sengers In it. As it struck the water the tossing Volturno made a deep dip forward and a glant sea ewept the boat under the liner‘s etern; when she settled back she sat upon the little craft, crashed it like an eggshell and everybody in it was lost except the boatewain, who dived out, and, coming up, caught hold of the tackle that was dangling from the ship‘s stern and was pulled back on board.

BRITAIN‘S NEW BATILESHIP A despatch from Portsmouth, England, says: A novelty in the way of battleships, the Queen Elizabeth, carrying an immense armament and using oil instead of coal for her motive power, was launched at the Royal Navy Dockâ€" yards here on Thursday for the Briâ€" tish navy. The new vessel, whose keel was laid on October 21, 1912, is of an entirely fresh type and the details of her construction have been kept secret. It is generally believed, however, that her armaâ€" ment is to consist of ten 15â€"inch guns mounted in pairs in barbettes while her secondary armament of 4â€"inch or 6â€"inch guns is also to be placed behind protective armor. This is a big advance over the armaâ€" ment of her predecessors. Under ordinary circumstances the carryâ€" Oil, Instead of CQal, Being Used as Motive Powes on the "Queen Elizabeth" According to a prominent French enâ€" gineer the Panama Canal locks will be obsolete in twenty years, and _ a water level canal will be necessary. Under the circumstances perhaps Mr. Bryan was well advised when he endesvored to perâ€" suade Congress to pass his Nicaragusa bill by which the United States wae to have the sole right to build a canal through Nicaragua wherever it chose, in return for three million dollare. Some other concessions were to be made, but this was one of the most important. (As the United Etates has built the Panama Canal it is obvioue that any other canal through from the Atlantic to the Pacific must %e controlled by her or else the enormous expenditure on Panama‘might be deemâ€" ed wasted. But in the noxt twenty yeare trade will NHave increased to such an oxâ€" tent, according to the same authority, that the Panama Canal with its locks will be unable to handle it. In that case another canal through Nicaragua might become a necessity. Considering the treâ€" mendous poseibilities of the â€" western coasts of North and Bouth America, the millions of people they are able to su%;; port, and the comparatively few which they maintain at present, it seems quite. likely that in due coarse two canals will not be one too many. To look ahead twenty years in these modern days takes eome imagination and daring. %{fs[oet of ue are satisfied with trying to make cerâ€" tain of looking ahead a day or two. There is no knowing what may nappen twenty yeare after the canal is opened. If New York is to become the China of the United States, and all the west coast is to take the place of Europe, one wonders what nation will be in control of the canal. Vacuumâ€"olsaning the Blood. Among the many remarkable addresses and demonetrations given at the recont International Medical Congress in Lonâ€" don, there was nothing more promising of future results of great value to human kind than Professor Able‘s account of his artificial kidney. He opens one of the large blood vessels of an anaesthetized animal, inserts a glass tube, and conveys the blood to a series of emall tubes made of celloidin. From these the blood pasees through another glaes tube back into the animal and reâ€"onters the latter‘s circuâ€" lation. The celloidin tubes are porous to all diffusible eubstances in the blood, and being placed in a saline solution act as & sort of filter. As the blood passes through this little set of artificial capilâ€" laries, it is, so to speak, washed or filterâ€" ed, and a portion of the diffusible subâ€" stances remain in the ealine solution in which the celloidin tubes lie. One is, perhaps, hardly justified in concluding from _ these experiments that we canm switch a sick man‘s blood out of his. body "\rurou%‘h a celloidin filter, and then band it back to him freed of all impuritiee, but this is the possibility euggested by Proâ€" fessor Abel‘s address. The immense value of such a method in many diseases is s0 ‘obvious as to require no insistence. ‘ Supposedly Harmless Medicines. _ The numerous fatalities among chilâ€" dren, and even grownâ€"ups, caused by parâ€" taking in undue quantities of palatable medical preparations is alarming. The necessity of placing eupposedly harmless medicines where they will not be accesâ€" sible to children has been frequently emâ€" phasized. /The custom of, throwing samâ€" ples of druge into yards and doorways is one that should be abolished. Legisla ‘tion is proposed which provides that all ‘liquid medicines containing poisonous drugs be put up in bottles of different shape from the ordinary vials whereby they can be readily recognized by the sense of touch. ‘ â€"Another Antarctlc Expedition. _ J Foster Stackhouse, the leader of a ~party of Englishmen who will at an early date sail for the Antarctic, says his purâ€" ifigae is to determine the extent of King Bdward Land and make temperature and magnetic observations, and adds, "I also want to explore land which no Englishâ€" man has trod." The latter is his real reason for setting out on this perilous journey. RBcientific research is but an in: cident of the undertakin%; The lure of the unknown has gripped him, as it gripâ€" ped Columbus, as it gripped Livingetone and Peary and Scott and Amundsen and countless others who have set out to go where man never was before, and as it will fir‘xp othere until there is no spot on the globe untrod by man. % Effeots of the Balkan War.

Should th@ oil fuel in the case of the Queen Elizabeth prove successful all large warships of the British navy will in future use it. The new vessel was not quite a year on the building ways.
