he Annual
11 Rush to Europe
3
A R D times T Panics th reat
ened? Country going to
tbe dogs? Don't you taks
any stock in such talk.
Mr- O- D. Grouch may
on vu a natter uarrei
and croak as much as
he wants to in that di
03?
rection, but many facts are coming
to light that tell a vastly different
story. For instance, take (he annual
rush to Europe that is now on. . What
has for many years been regarded as
an unfailing sign of this country's gen
eral prosperity or the lack of it is the
Yolutne of travel that makes its way
across tbe Atlantic, nd this year.
Just to prove that panic times are
over, the record of the' banner year
1907 seems about to be broken, as in
dicated by the number of persons that
have already gone this season or are
booked to go before the middle of
August' In fact, the steamship lines
that were started some seventy years
ago for the purpose of bringing emi
grants to this country have now been
obliged to face right around the other
way to meet the streams of : traffic
that originates on this side of tbe
ocean. ,
Here are a few figures bearing upon
the subject In 1907 the outgoing
transaUantlc travel from New York
consisted of 100,706 who traveled first
class, of 10S.272 who went In nwomi
cabins and of 557533 who crossed In
steerages. The statistics for ' 1908
showed a marked decrease, as 'did
those of last year; but as stated, all
records for ocean travel promise to be
broken during the season of 1910.

Few realize what this Influx ot travr
ing means to Europe, but figures a.
suggestive. . One hundred thousand
tourists traveling for an averagv
length of three months and spending,
say., $300 apiece for that time, which
is an average very low, would bring
the total amount spent by Americans
on pleasure travel in Europe each
summer up to $o0.000,000. And In all
likelihood the actual amount is much
greater than that
Whether ybu are contemplating a
trip to Europe or whether you
wouldn't give a button , to make the
Journey, the great progress being made
by steamship builders should prove of
Interest The big liners of today.are
literally floating cities, with every
comfort and convenience known to
man. In fact the luxury of ocean
travel has, now reached such a state of
perfection that land bred and timid
passengers may almost delude them
selves into thinking they are still on
shore, although far out at sea. It Is
difficult to realize that only a few
years ago people on a transatlantic
boat were deprived for five days of all
the elementary luxuries. They suf
fered the lack of nearly all the little
comforts that pertained to a costly
existence ashore. A voyage was a
necessary evil between two ports, and
the gourmet risked his digestion In
the Interval between hotels. The trav
eler in mldocenn called vainly for the
delloartes of civilization, but not so
today. '
Now on the modern steamship ele
vHtont save languid limbs the fatigue
ot cliuubiug steps, the wireless morn
ing uewspaper is served In bed with
the coffee, and a telephone Is at your
elbow, bandy for summoning your
valet or sending a business message
thousands of miles over sea and land.

' Almost motionless Is the ship to tbe
senses, only a slight vibration being
noticed. Some statistical bore remarks
bnt there is a population of more
than 3,000 aboard and that the vessel's
funnels would contain a railroad train
and that It would take 68.000 horses to

these details? ,'
While the steerage passengers are
made comfortable and tbe second cab
in passengers enjoy many luxuries. It
is those 'who travel first class. ' of
course, who get the choice accommoda
tions, for which they pay vast sums.
Tbe best suits aboard a modern liner
come high, but It must be remembered
that the space occupied la even more
expensive than It would be n Broad
way or Fifth avenue, A suit of four
rooms a parlor, bedroom, dressing
room and hatb may be bad in tbe
season for about $1,000 for tbe trip
There is practically no limit to tbe
number of rooms which may be thrown
into a single suit and it is uot tin
common tor as much as $3,000 to be
paid for a suit for a single crossing
In case the ship selected Is a five -day
boat the rate will therefore range from
$300 to $000 a day.; The suits ma.
however, be occupied by two and in
tome cases three persons without ex
tra charge. .
. In these rooms the decorations have
been designed by artists of taste and
experience. The colors are so selected
and applied that the general color
scheme of tbe different cabins will be
perfectly harmonious. Naturally only
the richest materials are selected. In
some cases the cloth in rinV.j 2;
signed and woven that the harmony
may be perfect It Is In the bathroom,
however, that one finds tbe most In
genious luxury. Here yony will find
bathtubs of rare marbles, the finest of
Venetian mirrors, the walls and ceil
ings completely tiled in elaborate de
signs, the fittings of polished metals
There are probably no finer bathrooms
In the world than are to be found in
the Imperial suits of these great lln
ers.- Every detail Is worked out with
the greatest care. The bathtub will be
carved in some appropriate design, tbe
water, hot or cold, fresh or salt will
run from dolphins' heads carved in
onyx; the towel racks will be of the
finest cut glass and sliver.
It Is difficult to Imagine how luxury
could be carried further on these boats.
. One of the newest of the Jlners, the
Amerika. is fitted with a complete
Turkish bath and a swimming po.'
and an electric light bath In addition
to the regular accommodations. There
is, of course, the barber shop, a model
In Its way, with assistants who will
visit you In your private suit If you
fJioose. There Is a gymnasium equlp
; with- every manner of mechanical
apparatus, so that one may enjoy a
horseback ride, a camel ride or a mas
sage of any kind on the seas.
Farewells at the sailings of Euro
pean steamers are no longer tragic, as
in past times, as no one nowadays ex
pects to be drowned and as a trip to
Europe is regarded as hardly a more
serious undertaking than a visit to
one's relatives a few hundred miles
from home.
It is most amusing to witness the
leave taking of milady. "Qoodby, good
by!" she cries, waving a little per
fumed handkerchief. "Write me lots
and lota of letters. Address them any
where. I'm going every place there
is!"
, The Olympic, a new White Star giant
now building, will be received in the
harbor next June with an almost
fioosereltian blaze of glory, while her
sister ship, the Titanic, will follow In
August. These ships are to be the
largest and most completely equipped
vessels afloat . They will be about seventy-five
feet longer than the Luslta
nia. Some of the features that will be
included in these new vessels will be
new to, ocean travel and will rival the
best that can be accomplished In the
most extravagant hotels on land

A RECORD IN HITTING.
Dslahanty's Four Homtrt and a SingU
In Five Timas at Bat
The baseball expert Hugh S. Fuller
ton. In an article on "Batting" in the
American Magazine, describes as fol
w tue greatest Hitting feat recorded.
executed by Ed Delebanty. and which
It was his good fortune to witness:
"Adonis Terry was pitcbing-a great
pitcher with a wonderfully fast enrve
ball and three of tbe home runs were
made off the curve. Tbe first time
at bat Delebanty bit the ball high over
the right field fence, perhaps seventy
feet from the foul line, which would
be 245 feet from tbe plate, and tbe
fence was thirty-five feet high. The
second time be bit over the same fence,
but farther toward center field. The
third time be drove a single over short
atop, a line hit and perhaps the hard
est hit of all. Dahlen, leaping, touched
the ball with both hands. They were
torn apart and tbe ball caromed al
most to the left fielders before it struck
the ground. The next home run was
straight to the center field between
the clubhouses, nearly 400 feet away.
The last time be came to the bat the
crowd was cheering him on. Lange
retired between the clubbouses, which
were set at, angles. Delebanty hit a
curve ball. It alighted on tbe roof of
one clubhouse, bounded to tbe roof ofl
the other and rolled halfway back to
the second baseman. And yet Chicago
won the game 8 to 6.
' Doubling Her Capacity.
"I want a nurse girl who is capable
of taking care of twins," said a woman
to the manager of - an employment
agency. . ; . . t
A dozen maids ranged against the
wall were questioned as to their fa
miliarity with twins. Finally one girl
produced documentary evidence that
for the last five years most of her
waking moments had been spent In
tbe company of twins. She got the
Job. When she reported for work in
the afternoon she was Introduced to
but one Infant ,. ...
"Where is the other one?" she asked.
"Oh. there are no twins about this
house." said her mistress. "I Just
said twins so I would be sure to get a
competent uurse. Any girl who is
capable of baudllne two children can
give extra good care to one. That is
a little ruse I always employ when I
hire a unrse.M-New lork Times.
Th Wolvss and the Meat
"I had thought that It was peculiar
to human nature to regard that which
oue has as of less value thau that
which one has not, but 1 had reason
to change my opinion the other day,"
said a visitor to the zoo. '
"A keeper tossed four pieces of meat
into the den of two gray wolves. One
piece landed on the roof of the shelter
house, and a wolf with a lame fore Itfg
passed over the pieces on the ground,
and, standing on his hind legs, tried
and tried to get that on the roof, which
was Just out of reach. The other hun
gry wolf gave his attention to the
pieces on the ground and disposed of
all three. Going over to the house, he
sniffed for a moment and then sprang
upon the roof, ate the fourth piece and
stretched out for repose." New York
