inders, in traycrsing a given distance
on the rails, will exert the greatest
power. English engineers, who are
continually expressing their surprise
at the enormous size of American
boilers, should bear in mind that the
it's large boiler capacity whichupri-
marily enables the American locomo-
tive to haul heavy loads at speeds
which are altogether beyond the pow
er Of the English machine
The American then gives examples
of some new locomotives built for ex-
press business on a New York road,
as compared with some locomotives
just built for an English road. The
American has 6-foot drivers, 20x24
inch cylinders, 2,114 square feet of
heating surface, and 30 of CRATE area,
while the corresponding figures for
the English machine are Z feet 7 IL
inches for the drivers, 20x26 inches
for cylinders, 1915 feet for heating
surface and 20 for crate area.
In conclusion, the American oners
it's English contemporary a little sd-
vice as follows:
IF the designers Of English loco
motives would cease to strive after an
ideal economy in fuel, and devote their
attention to the moro serious problem
of hauling heavy loads at high speed,
they could solve the problem at once
by adopting American methods, more
over, if the Engineer would spend as
much time in trying to prove to it's
readers how and why the American
locomotive does certain things as it
now spends in trying to prove that it
never has and never will do them, it
would be more in line with modern
developments and less open to the
charge of persistent and unreasona-
bic prejudice. "-KanSas City Journal.

The peculiar courage possessed by
arctic explorers is we'll demonstrated
by the plans being arranged now by
Lieut.. Peary for his next expedition to
the frozen north. He proposes to take
no more than two white companions
and proceed to certain point on the
western coast Of Greenland which has
been used before as the base Of explo-
ration. Thence he will take a half
dozen married couples and push on
northward to the farthest point where
a colony could live. making the latter
place the final base of operations.
Peary thinks he can get within $50
miles Of the pole In this way and by
waiting for a favorable opportunity
tor setting out finally reach It by means
of dog sledges. The extraordinary fea-
ture Of his program is his expectation
that he may be obliged to wait as long
as five years before the conditions will
be right for the last stage Of the expedi-

The annual report Of the Bureau Of
Statistics of the State Department es-
tablished the significant fact that the
foreign trade of the United States last
year showed steady increase in the
export of manufactured goods, the per-
centage of such exports rising from
24.93 per cent in 1896 to 25.71 per cent
last year. Meanwhile, the percentage
Of agricultural exports declined slight
ly. from 67.58 to 67.3S. The report finds
additional confirmation Of the relative
~ rapid advance Of the foreign trade Of
the United States in some figures pre-
scented to parliament by the British
board Of trade, showing that while
Great Britain still retains her lead over
other countries in exports of manufac-
lures, the United States is advancing
at a more rapid pace, and that that ad-
vance was larger in amount and much
larger in proportion than the advance
made by Germany.

In a paper read few days ago be-
fore the London Chamber Of Com
merce by Mr.. Stanley Mackin on Food
Supply in Time of War" much stress
was laid on the fact that England's de-
pendence on supplies of wheat from
Europe, and especially from Russia
and Roumania, had largely Increased
lately. It said that "if by any means
our imports were stopped. our home
wheat could not sustain ns for more
than about six weeks at the most. It
must be remembered that probably
one Of the first acts Of our enemies
would be to declare coal and wheat

According to calculation worked
out by the Revue Scientif1Que Of Paris.
the proportion OF paying load to total
displacement Of q steamship in 1910
was only 10 per cent-that is, the hull.
engines and fuel carried formed 80 per
cent Of the weight Of the vessel. In
1850 the paying load had risen to 26
per cent; in 1850. to SO per cent; in
1870, to so per cent. At the present
time the Atlantic steamers show an
average of IS per cent paying weight.
The advance since 1870 has been com
paratively slow, chiefly because much
higher speeds are now required.
