Expensive Ocean Gre,ho.no.

Few people have any idea of the enor.
nous expense of keeping the ocean
~greyhounds in ship shape. 1t costs one
company on an average Of $4,000 a
month for repairs to the various yes
sells They are thoroughly overhauled
every month, and the amount of small
repairing necessary would astOnfsh
even the old vOyager. In the shops on
the American side there is a duplicate
OF every bit of machinery used in the
makeup Of an ocean liner, from enor-
nous pieces of shafting down to the
smallest bolt. The International COM
pany has to pay, among its other ex-
penScs. for a professional rat catcher,
who clears the ships Of the little pests.
About fifty rats are caught at the end
OF each Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
