Costly Blizzards at Sea Tho blizzard IS" always bad enough on land, but nt sea It Is tenfold worse, relates the New York Times. It Is far moro do- heart quails before It. Railroads may be snowed under on land by tho flcrco storms, towns nnd villages bo nctuauy burled allvo for days and weeks and traffic of all kinds suspended Indefinitely, but on the oceau tho helpless bark scuds toward the haven- less port to certain destruction, and the tramp steamer labors heavily In tho seas tho voyagers hoping for tho best. Thero Is ono class of ships that cannot run beforo the blizzard nqr skulk In strange harbors to escape It. The express steamers must run on schedulo time, and It may be that thoy must go forth to meet the monster, fully conscious of .the Impending conflict. Occasionally tho sailing of a mod- em ocean Krcvhound may be nostooned twenty-four hours In order to lot the worst of a Btnrm blow over, hut uauallv thev run forth heedless of tho weathen warnings Confident In their nowers. they urannlo with the blizzard and toll triumphantly through the mighty conUlct.

In the case of such steamers as 'Dcutsch- land, her tweny-three-odd knots are only maintained at an extreme expenditure nf mnnrv fnr rnnl. Mnst of tho steamers carry 3,000, 4,000 or 5,000 tons of coal for the trip, and when they limp into port after a rough Journey they rarely havo more man ono-iutn or one-sixin oi ino reserve conl loft In their bunkers. Delay la kthus costly on account of tho coal consumed, and sometimes It might prove absolutely uangeroiiH. Thn rielav of a dnv of such steamers as Deutschland. Oceanic or any of the similar largo steamers would cost in coal botweon 11,500 and 2,500. Under reduced speed tho steamers would consume less coal, but on the theory that It coats less to hurry through with the trip tho navigators hurl their tons of iron and steel through the turbulent sea at a. speed that seems nl- most Incredible. The heaviest seas are 1 kn thn hnek nf an enrthnnnkn ah thn strike against the big steamers, but except for n momentary hesitation tho vessel con tlnues to worm Its way throiffch the moun- tains of water, forced over forward bv the powerful revolutions of tho screws that never cease In their work.

Tho hard driving to which It Is subject causes heavy deprecla- tlon ln value, or about 10 per cent, on tho first cost of $3,500,000.
