RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

Editor of The Tribune.
SIR: The question of reciprocity with
the United States has agitated Canada for
forty years. Its consummation has been
prevented until now by obedience to The
dictates of England, by ecclesiastical in
fluences, and also by the ascendancy OF
the Conservative party.
England, unless coerced by extreme pol
Icy, VIII never consent to any exclusive
reciprocal agreement between Canada and
the United States. In the past she has
always sought to control and prescribe
the commercial interests and intercourse
or her colonies. and she stands today ready
as ever to direct Canada by threats and
entreaties to do the bidding of her de-
sires. But recently tha following dis
patch by Lord Ripon, secretary of state
in the Earl of Rosebery's cabinet, was
made public: "If colony were to grant
preferential treatment to the produce Of a
foreign country and were to refuse to ex-
tend the benefit of that treatment to the
mother country and the other colonies or
some of them: such step could not fail
to isolate and ALLEVIATE that country from
the rest of the empire. and attract it po-
litically as well as commercially toward
the favored power. Her Majesty's gov
ernment are Convinced that the colonies
will agree that such result would he

any such agreement"
In Canada the church influence Is
mighty. That influence views with in
creasing alarm its gradual decay; ana
fearful of loss OF power and prestige In
Canada, in case of closer relations with
the United States, 1t upholds England and

New Process for Incaaing the Hulls e
Vessels to Guard Against Barnacles.

Vessels to Guard Against Barnacles.
Considering the fact that the growth
of barnacles and other animals and veg
etable matter below the water line OF
chips not plated with copper will some
times attain the thickness of two OF
more inches, weighing as much as 2;
tons, and necessitating a cost for dock
ing and cleaning of $4,000 to $4,000
the desirability of cheap and expe
ditious method Of coppering ships
bottom is evident. Some time ago II
was proposed to carry out this process
eiectrolytically, but TIC idea was not
received without criticism. 1t has
however, been so persistently followed
up by its originator that plant FOR the
deposition of copper on ships plates
by an electrolytic method is now in
actual operation. The coating depos'
tied adheres so firmly as to make it's re-
moval very difficult; in fact, it is
claimed that the copper becomes prac
tically part of the steel plate wber
the process is complete.
The copper is applied to the ccm
pleted and not to the separate plates,
and hence existing vessels may take
advantage of this method to save dock.
age. The possibilities of the process
are not confined to steel vessels; for
wooden vessels may be coppered by
| this method if their sides are first
| treated with plumbago. To prepare
| the sides of a steel vessel for receiving
its coat of copper, shallow baths, aver
aging, say, 60 square feet, rectangular
in shape, and open on one side, are
made wateltight by coating of tar,
and are provided on their edges with
heavy soft rubber gaskets.
In the bottom of the bath are two
pipes, through which the electrolyte
is circulated. The bath is held Up
against the side of the vessel by poles.
1t is first filed with a picking mixture
composed of dilute sulphuric acid, and
this remains in contact with the plates
about IL hours, after which it is re-
moved and the plate is secured with
sand and soda. If sulphate bath were
then applied a coating would be depos-
tied, but such coating, owing to the
free acid of the mixture, would readily
peel off. To avoid this preliminary
coating is deposited by the use OF
cyanide instead of sulphate of copper
Copper electrodes are placed in the
bath, and proper connection is made
with the dynamo which furnishes the
electrolyzing current The sulphate
bath is applied for 4S hours, and wheI
the process is complete coating Of
three thirty-seconds to one-eighth of al
inch is deposited over the whole sur
face. The process is said to save its cost
many times over, besides making grea'
economy of time possible.-Pittsburgl
