FAST OCEAN SERVICE.
disadvantage Canada Labor* Under

EC John's. N. F.. Sept 11 (Special H-The disaster
to the new Canadian turbine engine mail steamship
Victorian in the St Lawrence River on September
2. and the equally serious misfortune to the freight
steamship Virginian in the seme waters at the
same time, abundantly attest the disadvantages
under which Canada labors in her endeavors to
establish fast ocean service which can compete on
an equality with vessels from New- York.

manently replace New- York as the *>*«™ ter
minal for transatlantic traffic no unbiassed ob
eerver will say who studies the condition* under
which these northern water? are traversed. For in
stance, on May 4 of this year, the Victorian's con

August 6 the Southward with or.c thousand pas

Norman, in Belle Isle Strait, while all the year
round fogs threaten the safety of .very ship bound
to or from. Canadian port?.
An Impartial study of th* whol- subject must
lead to the conclusion that, while Canada may pro

proach the best American liner, the Canadian route
can n-ver reellv become the first favorite, because

Even » carefully handled a craft «» British war
ship, the lily, became a total wreck there In Sep
tember, USB; a consort, the Columbia, stranded
there last October, and the French corvette Manche
struck an iceberg there In August, 19uS, whUe it
would take a volume to record the list of freighters
which have left their bones on its peril strewn
shores or gone to the bottom from contact with
icebergs encountered during periods of fog In the
narrow fairway.
Consequently, no ships can attempt to make the
same time over the Canadian rout© that they do
over the New-York route, because the latter axe
in the open sea a few hour? after leaving port or
until a few hours of arriving there, and can main
tain their highest speed until they are near either
coast, without fear of encountering any but the
ordinary perils incident to navigation in any waters
for nine-tenths of their voyage east or west. But
the liner to or from Montreal has to make one
third of her whole journey through waters which
literally teem -with perils for her kind. Between
Montreal and Antlooetl lie eight hundred miles of
tortuous river channels, where ships are constantly
stranding; between Antieo3ti and Belle Isle lie four
hundred miles of rockbound coast, with variable
currents setting thereon, and the narrow, danger
ous strait as the worst menace of all, while even
as far as three hundred rniWw east of the strait
there Is always more or less danger from icebergs,
so that it is rarely that a season passes without one
or more ships making their way to St. John's with
battered hulls from contact with these frozen ter
rors of the northern seas. Amid such waters and
against such conditions high speed Is Impossible,
and a liner la as helpless as a freighter, for the
faster a ship is the worse must be her damage if
she comes by mishap from any of these causes;
and a passenger boat enjoys no immunity from
these, hazards which a freighter has also to face.
On the Cabot Strait course somewhat similar ob
stacles exist. The Magdalen Islands extend across
the track which all ingoing or outgoing ships must
take, and have picked up and destroyed numbers
of them Then, midway in the strait, lie St. Paul's
Island?, which are likewise a prolific source of
danger, with a long death roll of ships and crews.
Cope Ray. too. is a marine graveyard with a grew
some record, the St. Pierre (Miquelon) archipelago
has proved the last resting place for many a splen
did fabric, and, finally. Cape Race has to be nego
tiated, with an evil repute hardly approached by
any other headland in the North Atlantic, on either
eld'e of the ocean, wrecks being of weekly occur
rence there. .
Effectually to safeguard these routes is well nigh
impossible. " Canada Is spendin? money with a
lavish hand in dredging and buoying the St. Law
rence River and lighting and sentinelling the gulf
and the Newfoundland coast with lighthouses,
foghorns, beacons and wireless telegraphy stations.
She has sought and has secured the maintenance
of all the principal lighthouses on the Newfound
land coast m order to equip and operate them more
perfectly than the island's limited resources would
permit, because it is Canada's commerce which
really reeds them. She has carried out the past
few "years a most liberal scheme of improvements
to this national highway, but without anything
like the expected benefit, because no human
agencies can cope with the sodden fogs which pre
vail all over this coast in summer and which
render a light invisible a few hundred feet away
and a syren inaudible at two miles, while in a fog
all sense of directness is lost also, as shown by the
case of the Assyrian, which went ashore right
under Cape Race fog whistle, thinking it the
syren of in approaching steamer and edging cut
of the way to escape her. If is an appreciation of
these conditions that inspires one well informed
Canadian Journal to urge that no trustworthy
results in respect to forming a definite conclusion
as to the real merits of the St. Lawrence route
as :i speedy carrier of mails can b« obtained from
the figures of one voyage, or even two, but that a
comparison of data for several trips in the spring.
summer and auTumn should be made pi that all
conditions of weather might be taken into account
and a fair average be made which would have
some substantial value
There are seasons when liner? plying via Belie
Isle or Cabot Strait are detained two and three
days by fogs, because high speed is impossible
through such areas, as the region Is much fre
quented by shipping of every class, from the tiny
fishing smack to the finest passenger steamboat.
But !f all other conditions were equal, It must
not be forgotten that the Canadian turbine boats
only make seventeen knot?, whereas the new
Cunarders for the New- York route are contracted
to be at least twenty-live: and that all the other
rival fleet? will Install the samp method of pro
pulsion as soon a? the advantages are proved be
yond dispute by the achievements of th» new
leviathans now under construction. In such an
event there will be more than a compensating bene
fit to New- York, because the increased speed will
be proportionally greater than Canada's shorter
mileage. Again, the inevitable fact that a Canadian
line involves three routes and three terminals at
different seasons serlouslv handicaps it when com
pared with York, Which offers the one route
the whole year round Lastly, the superior at
tractions of"New-Tork as a city with its appeal to
every class of traveller, its hotels and railway
service, must make it en overshadowing competi
tor when contrasted with the rival centres which
Canada possesses
But even if there was a Canadian line making
6hort passages, it could only give one trip a week,
whereas there are 3ix first-class lines plying by way
of New-York, giving virtually a dally service
throughout the year. The logical inference from
this la that tourist and business travel will move
In the direction where it can be disposed of daily
in preference to moving: In another direction where
it can be accommodated only once a week. The
heavy cost of subsidizing fast steamers forbid* the
possibility of Canada providing more than one such
fi n » -for many - ears to com*, while the greater
growth of the United States will be constantly in
creasing the demand for more of the fastest liners
that can be. built, and even those relegated to
second place will be still the equal? of Canada's
best Hence it can be readily seen how ill-founded
is the idea that the supremacy of New-York in
the fast Atlantic service is In any way en
dangered.
WATCHED RADIUM WORK.
Dr. S. G. Tracy Says Remits nf
Treatment Are Still Tentative.
After several months' Investigation of the Nau
heim treatment for heart disease. Dr. S. O. Tracy,
of this city, returned horre yesterday on the Phila
delphia. Dr. Tracy has been taking the. baths at
Nauheim incidental to his investigation of the
treatment, which is thar. tried by Secretary Hay
for some time before his death In selected cases
of heart disease, Dr Tracy says he is convinced
that the Nauheim treatment is of great value.
While abroad Dr. Tracy also observed several
methods of using radium in the cure or relief of
insanity, locomotor ataxia and cancer. The use of
radium for cancer has attracted considerable at
tention, and Sir William Ramsay, the British scien
tist, has six cases under his supervision A solu
tion containing emanations of radium is first in
lected into the cancer, this treatment being fol
lowed by the Injection of a precipitation of the
solution. The treatment is expensive, but the pa
tients have already shown much improvement. The
solution ma.de. exclusively for cancer costs shoiir
$2,500 for 100 milligrammes.
In the treatment of insanity, radium barium of a
low activity, about 65.000. is applied to the skull
by means of a caplike arrangement. In cases of
locomotor ataxia. plates of metallic bismuth im
pregnated with radium are placed over ths lumbar
region and the solar plexus. Encouraging success
has attended these experiments, although Dr. Tracy
saya the. results ar<* only tentative as y»t.
