Calls for Inquiry.
London, May 30.—The London morn-
ing papers in commenting editorially
on the disaster call for a thorough in-
vestigation as to whether the bulk-
heads were closed, and, if so, how was
it that the most modern system of
watertight compartments failed to
keep the ship from sinking?
The claim for the Empress of Ire-
land will be the heaviest suffered by
the Lloyds underwriters since the
sinking of the Titanic. It is expected
that the disaster will give a serious
check to the scheme for eetablishing
a Canadian Lloyds, with a view of re-
ducing the rates charged in London
for insuring vessels navigating the
St. Lawrence.
Statistics show that the underwrit-
ers have consistently lost money on
such voyages, owing to the dangers of
the river and the prevalence of fogs
and ice.
The Times, in an editorial, con-
siders that nothing could have saved
the Empress of Ireland, considering
the nature of the collision, but asks:
"What was the Storstad doing to run
into the Empress of Ireland with such
suddenness and violence?"

CHAPTER XVI11^—Continued.
"I am afraid." Bald the Count von
Werdensteln, "that ho Is preparing a
surprise for us. I do not like his si-
lence."
"Or Is he simply enjoying a long
honeymoon?" was Rositta's sarcastic
comment.
Hut the count shook his head doubt-
fully.
A year had almost passed when the
first European aerodromone was fin-
ished and ready for its trial trip. It
was as perfect as mechanical gvnlus
could make it.
Count von Werdensteln had invited
several reigning monarch# to attend
the trial flight and Suemeg rivaled the
ancient Roman pageants In splendor.
Only a few besides the royal specta
tors were allowed on the plateau near
the aerodromone plant. The police
compelled the uninformed thousands
who lived in the neighborhood to
keep a respectful distance.
Santos Duprel's heart beat high
when he and Rositta stepped into the
waiting machine. Rositta had decorat-
ed this first aerodromorae with a gor-
geous princely crown, and It glittered
bravely in the morning sun.
Rositta was clever and studied the
aerodromone under Santos' direction
until she was export in ite control and
manufacture. When they entered the
aerodromone, Santos went to the
wheel, moved the starting l^ver and
the wings rose slowly, then swooped
downward, causing the machine to
rise swiftly and surely. Everything
worked exactly as desired and the ma-
chine soon disappeared from the view
of the watchers, behind a bank of
clouds.
They went up and swam in the
fleecy clouds that billowed in the gold-
en sunshine. They reached an enor-
mous height, then Santos reversed the
machine, turned off the power and
they slid downward. Rositta stood
by his side, embracing him with one
arm. In her exuberance she reached
up with her free hand and pulled the
lever that emptied the brass recep-
tacle; a blinding flash came, striking
downward, zigzagging through the
clouds, and mighty thunder echoed
through space.
She realized her might, and in that
moment of intoxicating delight she
dreamed a dream—she saw herself as
the ruler of the world.
"How long will it take to have twen-
ty machines like this, Santos?" asked
Rositta, eagerly.
"Five or six months, my queen!"
"Then, then we will see." Her eyes
glittered strangely with a fire that was
not love.
When they landed on the spot from
where they ascended, the Emperor of
Germany handed Santos Duprel the
parchment with the great imperial
seal attached, and said: "Count von
Duprel, I want to be the first to con-
gratulate you."
An hour later the newly made Count
von Duprel was receiving the matri-
monial blessing from tiie court vicar.
The crowned heads were happy to wit-
ness the marriage ceremony.
loved country.
Their honeymoon had been short, as i
neither could be absent from their
posts long. The following week Astra
returned to her presidential duties and
Napoleon to his aerodromone.
Shortly after their return he talked
long and seriously with his wife. Then

was through with his work began to

up his drawings, he said in a low,
exultant voice: "This will come as a
surprise."
He called Jerome Whistler and
turned the drawings over to him. It
was an aerodromone.

expert workmen.
Napoleon's visits to Astra were his
happiest hours. He confided his hopes
and expectations to her. She gave him
all the sympathy and encouragement
at her command. Their lives were at-
tuned to perfect harmony.
The work on Ciryne had progressed
so well that Whistler was able to over-
see it all without Napoleon's assist-
ance and one day he took leave from
| Astra with the following words:
"I am glad we have enough material 1 arn Koing to pay a visit to our

stopped a few hours at Ciryne to see
how the work on the new machine
was progressing.
He had raked through Colombia and
Ecuador with minute care and now
was on the border of Peru. He con-
tinued his search with unswerving
faith in ultimately finding the precious
metal that would enable him to build
a larger fleet.
He had been circling over the An-
des, peering down on steep precipices,
rugged slopes and snow-covered peaks
where goats and llamas were the only
inhabitants, when suddenly he saw an
Intense greenish light glowing on his
spectroscope. He slowed down, and
the instrument gave evidence of a
large depostt of cirynith. Not more
than two hundred feet below him
stretched a broad snow-covered peak.
A lavatlc, porous, bare space was vis-
ible through the snow, on the north-
eastern corner, an* there he found
what he sought. The precious cirynith
lay in heavy layers, almost perfectly
pure. The deposit was not as large

Satisfied with his discovery, he ex-

"The pleasure Is mine, your honor,"
was Napoleon's reply. "My call Is not

That Is why I dropped into your home
so unceremoniously."
"You are welcome."

to listen to me. You i^mejnber my

"I took some sampleB of the crystals
when I discovered it, and analyzed
them. To my surprise I found that It
has not the same electro ma&netlo
qualities that the cirynith of Ciryne
has." He paused again; still the count
said nothing. "Now, I am sorry that
I have troubled you In this matter,
a« I do Dot want the property, for my
experiments have proved to mo that
the crystals are worthless for my pup-
poses."
"Hut you are mistaken." blurted out
the count. He realized In the same
second that he had made a mistake,
but, after all, what difference could it
make? Napoleon smiled Berenely, and
gave no sign of satisfaction at having
brought this information from the
count.
"All I can tell you is," continued he,
"tl it the chemical quality is not the
eaine, and I cannot make use of thu
depostt, and for this reason I do not
wish to interest myself further in the
property."

GERMAN "KURS" NOT "CURES"
Error of Translator Causes a Medi-
cine's Value to Be Over-

less new, and not infrequently mis-
information is given the publlo
through the failure to keep in mind
the actual meaning of one little word.
The German word kur does not mean
"cure," although It is not an un-
common thing to find it so translated
into English.
"To cure" in English means "to re-
store to health; to effect a cure;" but
In other languages it means merely to
apply "a method of remedial treat-
ment of disease; medical or hygienic
care; method of medical treatment."
The German word for "restoration to
health" is hellung, not kur.
The Latin word cur a means merely
care," a shade of meaning which Is
preserved in the derived term "cura-
tor." An Italian physician was re-
cently made to Bay, when his article
was translated Into English. "I cured

mountain had been rent apart and the I six of them died." What he really
space left between the raw edged s lid was that he bad treated ten pa-
rldges in the course of time had da- i tienta.—From the Journal of the Amer-
veloped into a paradise, ' lean Medical Association.
