AN ENGLISH OPINION.

A recent number of the American
Shipbuilder devotes column to the
discussion of a scheme for the forma-
ton of line of steamships between
New York and San Francisco, CAL, by
way of the Straits of Magellan. Of
course these vessels would, of necessity,
be under the American flag, inasmuch
as this long passage of many league
is considered by the United States
authorities as in the coasting trade,
and therefore free from the competition
of other nations. Had not this rule
held it is not improbable that the
American deepwater sailing ship
would have utterly disappeared from
off the face of the waters. In the
olden days what gloriously high
freights prevailed, what readiness in
chartering for the splendid clipper ships
along the route from New York to San
Francisco by way of Cape Horn Not
then was Ichabod written over the
temples of the American shipping
industry as it is today. 1t is asserted,
with some degree of truth. that not
infrequently shipowner would clear
the cost of white-winged clipper by
her first cargo From California these
vessels, the admiration of every sea-
man, made for China, and drove our
own ships almost altogether out of the
tea trade. The pernicious influence of
our tonnage laws was thus made mani
fest. American ships of that period
were of exceptionally large beam, pow
erfully spared, and could stand up
against a stiff breeze which would
have forced our narrow and deep craft
to snug down without delay lest capsizal
might save all further trouble. Brit
ish shipowners and shipbuilders, how
ever, did not sit calmly with folded
hands. Chinese fatalism is perhaps
all very well in its way, but will not
hold for the nation that proposes to be
the worlds ocean carrier. The regular
voyages of the American clippers were
New York to San Francisco, China,
London and back to New York. Then
the American flag was familiar
sight on ships in the docks of Liv-
erpool and London. Now an Amer
lean ship in our ports is almost
curiosity. In fact, apart from her
coasts the carrying craft under the
flag of the United States are oonspicu-
GUS by their scarcity. Steam and iron
have proved too much for the starry
f1ag.-Liverpool Journal of Commerce.

slick, which makes it heavier; some
use China clay or French chalk, which
leaves a residue at the bottom of the
wash tub and convinces the washer
woman that the soap has taken it out
of the clothes, and some use molasses
to give color and weight to the bars.
The boxes used for packing soap are
made in the factory from lumber
which the firm cuts from its own for
ests in Wisconsin.
The making Of toilet soaps is a
longer operation and one that requires
greater care. The constituent, either
tallow, cocoanut oil or palm oil, is
boiled with I've in 10,O00-pound ket-
ties. no resin being used. After the
soap has been hardened it is chopped
up in machine until it looks exactly
like Saratoga chips. Then it is put ON
racks and left until it is bone-dry, after
which it goes to the grinding room.
Here in all atmosphere which reeks of
perfumery, the scraps of soap are
treated with vegetable colors of var
ious kinds, together with perfumery.
Then the mass is ground between roll
ers of stone until it is smooth and
stringy. 1t comes out in fine ribbons
and is ground and reground until the
color is perfectly distributed.
The tar soaps are made by adding
tar to the soap shavings. One quart of
perfumery and two ounces of coloring
material are used with every 200
pounds of soap.
On leaving the grinding machines
the soap goes into the hopper of a de
vice which forces it by means of augel
screws through a narrow hole in the
form of a cylindrical stick. Wher
these sticks are about four feet Ions
they are taken into another room
nodded into cakes and wrapped in deli
cate papers. These are of dozens q
different brands, some of which are fol
hotels. some for railroads and some fol
private consumption. Transparent
soap is made by using alcohol in thu
process. These soaps are sold all ovel
the world.
