THE

FLEVO". SURVIVORS.

THE FATE OF MISSING OFFICER.

The fire which brake out on the Chinese owned steamer Fire while she, was on her, return vayage from Sungai List to Singapore, is understood to have origin- ated in the neighbourhood of the base of the funnel, it was learnt following the arrival at Singapore of the chinchew and other survivors of the ship. They reach- ed Singapore from Batavia on board the Giang Ann, Captain Maddox and other survivors remaining, it was-stated, at Batavia.

The fre broke out, it appears, at about nine o'clock at night, when the Flevo was about 40 miles from Tanjong Priok, One of the large hosts was destroyed by the Bre, and the other turned turtle in the heavy seas that were running. She was righted and the members of the crew made her fast at the forward end of the ship away from the fire, and there they remained for two hours before. an Ameri can destroyer, having sighted the burning steamer, came to the rescue, took the survivors on board and took them to Batavia The Chief Officer, Mr. Miller, appears to have left the ship, with eight or nine member of the crew, in a small bout, and it is stated that although a Jopg search for the boat was made by the American warship no trace of it was found

THE SKY-SCHAFER LIMIT.

The most typically American build- ings are still the sky-scrapers," Mr. Julian Huxley assures us; and the forces of competition tend to drive the sky- scraper higher and higher. What is the limit? No doubt in the end weight and gravitation would impose one, but New York will not get so high as that." A practical limit is imposed by, the, neces aity for elevators. The number of these is strictly proportional to the population of a building; and when that population reaches a certain figure more elevators are necesary than the building can ac commodate. So even tho modera ToweT. of Babel, like the original, comes to an automatic end, says "Observator,” in the leading London Sunday paper.
