Newspaper Page TextJZZVCMjYO A. W 'HEN the survivors of the Ti tanic were picked up by the carpatnla, which had been summoned to their assis tance bv wireless less than six hours before, people who could see more than the appalling horror of the tragedy that had preceded the res cue, wondered and said: "But how fortunate that there was a ship near to pick them up. Suppose there hadn't been?" As a matter of fact, nobody but a landlubber would have made such a remark. Any man who knew the sea and its ways would have been decid edly surprised had the Tltanlc's sur vivors been compelled to wait longer than they did, situated as they were In the direct track of all vessels fol lowing what Is known as the southern course across the Atlantic. Indeed, the testimony before the senate Inves tigating committee disclosed that at least one steamer had been within nearer range of the distressed liner than the Carpathla, and, according to still other participants in the tragedy passed within five miles of the Ti tanic before she went down. Now, if you really are a landlubber and if, conversely, you know nothing about the laws and customs of the seas, you will, like the people referred to above, remark what a wonderful thing it was that so many ships could respond to the Tltanlc's "C. Q. D." call, and dismiss, the whole affair as a remarkable coincidence. On the con- trary, there was no coincidence about It not any more so than if an auto mobilist on the Merrick road should break down on a lonely stretch out be yond Sayville, let us suppose, and should receive help from a brother of the gasolene fraternity within the next fifteen or twenty minutes. A Much Traveled Thoroughfare. No, the Titanic'a misfortune hap pened to her on one of the most fre quently traveled thoroughfares of the Jnany that sere the seven seas all over the globe. Outside of a few thickly frequented marine highways, like the British channel, or certain stretches of the Mediterranean, or our own Long Island sound, the Titanic could not have picked out a better place to sink in, with reasonable hope of rescue in a short time. Had it not been for a slip-up or misunderstand ing which has yet to be explained, the nearest ship to the wrecked liner would have been alongside in ample time to take off all her passengers and crew. Nowadays, as, for that matter, from time out of mind, 6hlps do not stray off certain well denned lanes unless driven to do so by unprecedentedly se vere weather. But nowadays this holds true even more than formerly. In former times, the prevailing winds LITTLE CHANCE TO OVEREAT Kentucklan Visits Grill Room of New York Hotel and Hat Hearty Breakfast. After his brother had been in New York a little more than a year, a Ken tucklan decided to pay him a visit. Hoping to surprise his brother, the Kentucklan did not apprise his broth er of his intentions. Arriving at nine o'clock In the morning, he asked to be directed to a good eating house. The taxlcab pilot steered his course for the largest, costliest and most fashionable hotel grillroom on Broad way. ' Being a stranger in a strange land and hungry, the Bluegrass brother or dered a regular home meal. When he got the check from the waiter Its size staggered him. He wasn't ac customed to New York hotel prices. After verifying the correctness of his bill at the cashier's desk and be ing Insulted by the waiter for tipping him twenty-five' cents, the visitor itarted out to look for his brother, XJJT boat at different seasons, the set of vari ous ocean currents, and similar nat ural phenomena, played considerable parts in the determination of the great trade routes, just as the loca tion of wells and oases determines caravan routes across the African deserts. Ships naturally steered, on courses on which they were most help ed by the winds blowing at the differ ent season of the year, as well as by currents like the Gulf Stream. The lines used by the great trans atlantic liners, however. entirely by the ice-drift from the north. This Ice-drift is a regular phe nomenon, and clogs the seas as far south as the latitude of Cape Hatteras to a point about 40 degrees west long itude, not very far from the Azores. That is to say, about half the seas be tween the American and European continents are subject to the peril of the iceberg. Years ago skippers dis covered this, and when transatlantic travel began to assume the propor tions of an industry, the custom grad ually grew up of setting regular routes or travel across the Atlantic, depend ing upon the presence of ice. North and Couth Lanes. The northern, or short lane. Is fol lowed late In the year, after all the Greenland floes and bergs have drift ed down and disintegrated in the warmer southern waters; the southern or short course is that followed the greater portion of the year, when the presence of ice is a constant menace to navigation. There is not a great deal of latitudinal difference between the two, and there is no attempt to get wholly below the limit of the ice drift, for that would involve an impos sible and really futile detour; but the southern course was always regarded as absolutely safe, until the disas ter to the Titanic. To find the beginnings of sea lanes of travel, you must go far back to the beginning of things, to the days when men first ventured on the sea and pushed timorously from cape to cape, anchoring by night and rarely sailing out of sight of land. The Phoenician mariners, who sent their galleys through the Pillars of Hercules and up to Ireland for cargoes of tin, were among the first to map out recognized routes for sea commerce, anrl nn cannot resist a deep respect for their oaring in thus exploring a way that their ancestors must have looked upon wi'.'a wholly superstitious dread. In the ancient world, it is true, the ocean lanes were not many. Princi pal among them were the several courses from the Pillars of Hercules, either along the African coast, via Carthage, or the' coasts of Gaul. Italy, and Greece, and so on, to the com mon base of all, the ports- of Asia Minor. Where the cnmmarrA of thn ancient world met and was sifted and whose office he found - about one o'clock. In response to his Inquiry as to his brother's whereabouts,' a clerk said: "He's over at Blank's hotel's new grillroom." "Go slow, friend, only a millionaire could overeat at the Blank hotel. I know, because I had breakfast there myself this morning." The Meanness of Mote. A typical southern "mammy" en tered the office of a well-known attor ney, and, after mopping her shining brow with a bandanna handkerchief, said to the man at the desk: "Ah wants f git a dlvo'ce f'oni mah husban', Mose Lightfoot." "On what grounds?" asked the at torney. "Hes' Jes' natchelly wufless," was the reply. "What Is your husband's occupa tion?" "He Jes' sets roun' de house all day and p'tends to mind de baby." "Does he take good care of the child?" 'Deed he do not! 'He la too lazy. then redistributed on Its way to thou sand smaller marts. Countless less important routes branched out from these, carried thera on or projected into limited areas of water, surround ed by large populations which had a commerce of their own. In every case the paths of the trading galleys were invariably the same. The middle of the Mediterranean was probably sel dom furrowed outside of the few tracks pursued by vessels traveling from one side of it to the other, 6ay from Carthage or Alexandria to Ath ens or Rome. Men crept along the coasts or rowed uncertainly from island to island, unless they could not he!p themselves. And it is strangely true that nowa days, when the ocean lanes are so much greater In number, so Incompar ably far-flung in character, the same general conditions hold good on the grander scale that has been assumed. The waters of the world or that por tion of it which Is to any extent in habited are criss-crossed in every dl rection by Innumerable paths followed by vessels, .both sail and steam; but it is still possible to find wide areas In which a sail or a steamship's smoke are not sighted for months on end What vessel blown Into the middle of the vast tract in the South Atlantic, roughly delimited by the routes fol lowed by vessels from North Amerl can portu to Gibraltar, and by the course of ships from the South Amerl can ports bound for Europe, would have any logical hope of assistance? Teacher Hat Her Own Farm. Miss Anna Nedobtyty, teacher at the Franklin school, has demonstrated her ability as a practical farmer by raising asparagus on her five-acre country home near Davis Crossing on the White Bear road. After 25 years of teaching in the St. Paul public schools Miss Nedobyty de termined to try her hand at vegetable gardening. She first decided on the bee Indus try, but after investigating gave it up because of the amount of time it takes to care for the bees. She then spent a summer on a berry farm to learn bow to raise berries. That was aban doned because of occasional failure of crops. After consulting with experts on farm products she decided on as paragus, because a crop Is certain re gardless of frost, late spring or dry summer. Then, too, it Is easy to take care of, the cutting being all over with by June and nothing is left to do but keep down the weeds yntil about the middle of August. .,' Miss Nedobyty will soon make the first cutting, and she declares she will have a good yield. Two years ago a modern two-story six-room bouse was erected, and since that time Miss Nedobyty has lived there each year from April until De cember 1. When school Is in session she comes in each morning and re turns each evening, the farm being 30 minutes ride from the downtown district. St. Paul Tioneer Press. Nothing Doing.
