RAIL LIIE CROSSES OCEAN Remarkable Trip That Is Taken by Travelers on Their Way to Key West, Florida. SAFETY OF THE AIRPLANE Pasaenger Can Expect to Fly a Million Mllea Without Danger oi Accident. ' ' The olrtdane Is the fastest machine man lias ever built, but fast as It Is, It litis not yet caught up with Its repu tation for, danger. That reputation was acouired when the plane was In Its Infancy, when man was Just be ginning to master the air anu in tne mind of the average man it has not yet been downed. . ' Tim British air ministry collected statistics on oil commercial flying in that country for the last seven months Of 1919. The results amazed even oiiotH and pnclneers. who loW had re garded the risk In flying as negligible. says the New York Sun. The nguren covered 3r,.S:iO flights by 403 machines of a total time in the air of 8,308 hours, durlne which time 51)3,000 miles .were traveled. In all this flying In good weather and had, one passenger was killed In every 16,666 passenger hourij In the air. To put it different ly, a single passenger might expect to fiy about 1,180,000 miles forty-sever times around the world before becom ing the victim of a fatal crash. That sounds utterly absurd to tiie land sturm, yet the British government stands back of the rigures. The pilots who tested experimental planes did stunt flying and ran other unnecessary risks showed .48 death per 1.000 hours, as compared with the pussenger rate of .00 per 1,000 hours. Coming nearer home, figures com piled by the postofflce department show to the end of last year 405,000 miles flown with a loss of three pilots. These pilots, of course, ran many risks, for they carried the mail through rain, snow and fog that blinded them. Even In training pilots the figures are exceedingly low. From the be ginning of the war until the end of 1018, 17.000 men learned to fly In the United States air service. They spent 705,243 hours In the air. One man was killed In every 2,310 hours, or one to about every 150.000 miles.' Wlfh these positive proofs of avlatlpn's safety before us, American airplane manufacturers are going ahead build ing planes, confident that the realiza tion soon will come everywhere that man can take care of himself as sure ly In the realm of the birds as In tbe realm of the fishes.

As you ride along this remarkable railroad, you look out the window and down Into the clear shallow water and ie grent schools of fish playing near the surfuce, and deeper down you can glimpse now and then the shadowy form of a small shark. On either 6lde of you reaches away to the horizon a vast expanse of brilliant blue water, dotted with Islands, which vary In size from a fraction of an acre, to perhaps a quarter of a square mile. They are low and flat and covered with low growing mangroves, and other swamp plants. Here, and there a group of coconuts or royal palms lifts a feath ery silhouette. Occasionally a little shack Is glimpsed, and a fpw sails are seen In the distance, but for the most paVt the region Is n wilderness of blue water, white swil and low-grow ing jungle a wilderness that you would love to explore In a small boat. Of lif ynu see little. Now and then white (locks of ibises rise from the Is lands; a tree duck spatters clumsily mvav from the train, or a great blue heron trails his legs In lonely dignity across the sky.

Th domestic problem, which is clos ing homes all over tire country and In creasing the hotel population, is some thing of which Mts. Coolidge thinks she has no personal, practical knowl edge. She never keeps dui one mum, and she never has been without one. In the fifteen years of her married life she has had only two. ine nrsi one she Inherited with the furnished house Into which she and Mr. Coolidge moved when they were married and took with her when she moved. Tho second came when the first left to go and live with her sister. There must be a reason for their staying, It was suggested to Mrs. Cool idge and she thought possibly there were several. She thought the type of maid had something to do .with it Her's both have been American wo men old enough to have a sense of re sponsibility to their work and Intelli gent enough to respond to, reasonable courteous treatment "A good many women who keep only one maid have trouble In their house holds because both mistress and maid but chiefly the mistress, are afra d of work A woman expects one maid to do the cooking and scrubbing and ev erything else and still be dressed up In black dress with white cap and apron, ready to answer the doorbell any min ute It Isn't humanly possible, I al ways answer my doorbell myself I do it for two reasons. In the first place, there is no one else, and, In the second, I Uke to greet my friends at the door myself." Have Home Orchestra.

Another essential figure Is one Mc Grath of New York, the promoter of the venture. They, will be accom panied by a prospector of Swedish descent who is said to have discov ered a book and . maps In theTIudson bay district of northern Canada which contains directions as to the approximate location of the hidden riches of the pirates of olden days.

The question of the origin of the West Indies will be decided, scientists aver, when the indigenous animtil life is found to be related Indisputably to that of the South and Central Ameri can mainland. But mammals, which, being wingless, could not have flown nvpr the intervening seas, are unfor- tunatelv the most poorly represented group of the higher life of the Antilles. r,vi- this rmison much scientific Inter est attaches to a recent expedition to Jamaica, backed by the American aiu seum of Natural History, asserts an article in Popular Mechanics Maga zine. Believing that the West Indies once hid a much larger mammal in habitation than today, the expedition concerned itself with the excavation of fossil fauna from the Island's lime stone caves. Many fossils were found, several of them new to science. Man of His Word Is Freed. A man of his word, despite having served a term in the. Fort Leaven worth penitentiary, David BlatinkofE of East Detroit, Mich., left the Kings county court a free man after plead ing guilty to petit larceny. Blatinkoff was Indicted for forgery two years ago. District Attorney Lewis' lodged a warrant at Leaven worth for the man's arrest when his sentence expired, and several days ago was notified that Blatinkoff's time there was up. The district attorney directed that Blatinkoff be "put on his honor to report to him. Yesterday Blatinkoff walked Into his office. Coun ty Judge McDermott gave Blatinkoff a suspended sentence.
