the puppets of inherited greatness would

the current caricaturing Of the average

age when all OF us were ship builders.
IL Is not done So After an order has
been received for certain kind of ship,
the plans for It are drawn upon paper.
Mr.. Lswis Nixon, the famous construc-
tor for the Cramps. tells me that very
early in the process he makes a picture
OF the ship as he wants II TO look; but
though he does So others may not consider
II essential. At all events. apart from
any drawing. the needed dimensions and
lines are developed upon paper. and then
the model is made. and the president of
the company begins 10 take very active
interest In the work. The model Is made
In the shape OF a block, formed Of
number Of pieces OF wood glued together.
These pieces represent the different
curves OF one side OF the ship. from the
keel to the gunwale-the different water
lines. is how the builders express II. To
understand this, the reader must imagine
a ship made OF solid wood. Imagine
that cut in half, lengthways, and then
imagine one half laid on its side and
cut into slices. The pen-and-ink caicu-
lations and plans produce the shape Of
the ship, and from these it is possible
10 obtain the outline and dimensions OF
every slice or plane between the top and
bottom. Each plane Is measured and
ufdNfl III outline on the DodFn, ana tnb OUT
line is dented or cut in the board with
a sharp tool. All the boards or pieces
OF wood are then glued together and
slmple-looking block is made-a block
that shows nothing Of its true nature
except that the top OF II bears the craven
outline of the top deck or gunwale-line
OF ship. out Of that simple square
block will come the egg which is 10 hatch
the splendid ship that is to be.
That block. made up Of slices. each with
its dented outline OF a different plane of
the ship, is now cut away much as we
boys used TO cut our block, but with
this difference each board is cut exactly
TO the dented or craven line upon its
surface. The shape the block will have
when all the superhuous wood is cut
away will be the model OF the ship that
was designed by the engineer on paper
to fill the requirements OF the customers
order. But will that model stand2 VIII
the master ship-builder be satisfied with
Its lines? VIII 1t do 10 be enlarged in
steel and sent around the world as an
example OF what the Cramps consider
the most beautiful and artistic and use
full shape such a ship could have2 No;
such first model next to never suits the
modeler-who in this case, is Mr. Charles
II. Cramp. He hacks into 1t with fer
vor. He tapers the bow He digs away
the stern. He shaves the whole model
with the nice and dainty touches of a
sculptor at work upon a statue on which
is to rest his boast that he is a true
artist. The fate Of the wooden block
alters the figures OF the engineers plans.
Perhaps the alteration is such that new
drawings and a new model follow. Thus,
by borrowing and lending, the two soon
agree; and upon the two-the model and
the plans-the ship will be built. Some
times a model is on the scale Of quarter
OF an inch 10 each foot of the ship, but
the scale differs with different builders.

The market became strong and weak
to-day by turns, improving q points over

lower than last night Considering how
large the movement was, $1,000 bales
against 5000 bales last year, the market
continues 10 show mucn OF inherent

tufe that will create general desire

hand, this very free movement strength

strange to say, Liverpool reports a better
spot demand, and cables say this after
noon that spot sales at Liverpool were
several thousand after the close OF Dusl-
ness to-day The movement thus far
this week is 10000 bales, against about
l3l 900 bales this week last year and
10000 bales last week. The indications
so far promise a smaller movement at
the interior than this week last year and
on Friday next We may see that the
liberal port movement has been at an

that many people are skeptlcal as 10 re-
