In the Journal Of Political Economy,
MIR. George Tunell discusses some inter
eating statistics Of traffic on the Great
Lakes. One of the most striking facts
In the history Of lake navigation Is the
very rapid substitution Of steam for
sail as motive power. In the course Of
the article Mr.. Tunell says that the In
creased size Of the ships and the sub
shutting of steam, two of the three rad
ical changes that are brought under
consideration, have rendered necessary
the third change, the substitution of
steel for wood as the material for son
struction. The preference for steel has
become very decided in the last decade,
and now only those exceedingly CON
sentative persons who neyer become
adjusted to a new order Of things per-
aist in using wooden yessels. Lieut..
Charles G. Rogers, u. 8. N, in writing
of the changes which have marked Inc
construction Of the lake fleets, says:
1.-THE history Of marine architecture
de ga not furnish another instance of SO
rapid and complete a revolution in the
material of floating equipment as has
taken place on the Great Lakes since
1856. In 1856 there were but six steel
vessels, with an aggregate net tonnage
of 6.459 tons, afioat on the lakes; but
by 1890 the number had increased to
Cs, with an aggregate net tonnage of
90 557 tons. Since 1880 the construc-
ton of steel vessels had gone on with
even Increased rapidity, and for the
fiscal year 1905 steel was the material
used in the construction Of two-thirds
Of the tonnage built in that year" Mr..

Agent Moore Of Weimar gives a great

t. be stared at even in the largest cities.
There ought to be fifty of them IN
