An Ideal Steamship.

Drawings and propositions for new
t,,yie OF fast ocean steamship appear in
the American Mail and Export Journal.
Civil Engineer b. Sohieldrop. the author
Of the proposed new greyhound, claims
That i will be able to raise the record Of
speed across the Atlantic from twenty.
one to thirty-four knots an hour. This
would admit of voyages between Queens
town and Sandy Hook in three DAYS aud
thirteen hours.
Mr.. Sehieldrop claims that in the fun
damental principle upon which the
modern transatlantic steamers are built
and operated no real advance has been
made since the Savannah crossed in 1919.
lie thinks that the trouble has been that
the same boat has been "a mail convey
ance, hotel, barn, and a warehouse"
all IN one. lie proposes to build, upon
special model, vessel for first class
passengers and mail which will possess
the maximum of speed and space with
the minimum of weight and displace-
ment. By removing cargo space of the
vessel now IN use he proposes to tighten
the structure of the hull and still keep il
submerged to the same water lire. This
would give the hull shallow and broad
upper part and narrow and deep lower
part. 1t might be described as a comb
nation of the centre board type in the
upper part and an English cutter in the
lower part
As regards stability, the new vessel
will prove mean between the cutter and
the centre-board type. He claims that
on account of its fullness above the water
line his plan will insure dry deck both
admidships and at the extrcmities. The
upper deck will be devoted to a spacious
library, ladies cabin, smoking saloon
and MUSHROOM. The main deck will
be taken up by dining saloon, an ele-
giant after cabin and several high-priced
staterooms The dining saloon will seat
656 persons comfortably. The entire
lower deck will be divided into state
rooms of different dimensions.
All of the modern conveniences will be
at hand, and cleanliness, it is claimed,
can be more thoroughly secured than if
steerage passengers and freight were car

The advent of the Americans on the

at Washington is, however, moving in
the matter, and his latest report rec
ommends the building of two fleets Of
battleships, eight for the Pacific and
twelve for the Atlantic; twenty coast

a Modern Romance of the Fast.

A Greek merchant of Alexandria in
Egypt, who made great deal of money,
unable to return personally to his coun-
try, but intent upon choosing a Grecian
maiden for his wife, writes to his CORE
spondent in Corinth at the bottom of his
usual business letter: "Finally request
you to remit me, by returning steamer, a
young lady who might feel inclined to
become my wife. She need not be in
possession of any money, with which
am sufficiently blessed, but a good repu-

Although somewhat astonished at this
singular order of his Alexandria CORE
spondent, the merchant of Corinth, as a
good business man, thought best to fill it
like any other received from so reliable
customer, and to send the merchandise
demanded at short notice Having found
