A TRANSATLANTIC MONSTER.
The Largest Freight Steamer in the
World About Due in New York.

A mammoth freight steamer, the
largest now in use in the world, and
the largest ever constructed, with the
exception of the Great Eastern, will
soon reach New York at the completion
of her maiden voyage. She is owned
by the Hamburg-American Line, and
was built by the Harland & Wolf COM
pany, in Belfast, Ireland.
The name of this queen of freight
vessels is the Pennsylvania. She is 56S
feet long, so feet beam, AZ feet deep in
the hold, and has displacement of 90
900 tons. Her lightweight carrying
capacity is nearly $4,000 tons. Speed
is furnished by quadruple expansion
engines with about 1000 combined
horsepower. designed to develop a
speed of fifteen knots. Accommoda-
tions are provided for over 200 cabin
passengers and for 1,500 steerage pas
sengers. The first cabins are above
deck, amidship, the second cabin aft
and the steerage passengers are quar-
tered on the main deck and the upper
deck amidship. An extra deck above
the saloon deck contains the dining and
smoking rooms. The illustration shows
the Pennsylvania great bulk as COM
pared to the pioneer transatlantic
steamship, the Savannah. The Savan-
nah was about $50 feet in length, with
a 25-foot beam and made her first trip
in 1919.

THE MARKETS.
wall street Review.

New York, Aug. 2i.-The dominant ten.
dency OF today's stock market was still
distinctly reactionary, Notwithstanding
the fact that the days trading resulted In
a fractionally higher average OF prices.
There was a large falling off in the vol
ume OF trading, and the rally which
brought prices up at the close was on
comparatively light purchases by the
short interest to cover over Sunday. The
market was to large extent In the
hands of professional traders. Leath-
er. preferred, was conspicuously stong all
day on the rise in the price of the prod
uct. Sugar was active and gained lalh
over the low point. The rally extended
to 1s in Burlington, rs In st. Paul. In

Tobacco and New Jersey Central. The
total sales of the day were l57,625 shares.

COST OF LIGHTS.
A Comparison of the Relative Cost of
Different Artificial systems.

From the American Architect.
The director of the Electrical COM
pany, of Cologne, has made a COM
parison of the cost of the different sorts
of artificial light, reduced to the same
standard of illuminating power. AS
the cost of materials for Illuminating
varies in different localities, he has
taken the price of coal gas at ninety
one cents per thousand cubic feet; of
alcohol, for use in incandescent lamps,
at thirty cents a gallon; of coal oil at
fifteen cents a gallon, and of electric
ity, at one and three-quarter cents per
hectowatt. Supposing the "mantles"
of the incandescent gas burners to last
four hundred hours, and to cost fifty
cents each, and other apparatus to
have the average life, he finds the most
expensive ordinary light to be that
from incandescent electric lamps, which
costs ten cents per hour for a given
amount of illumination. Next comes
the light from ordinary gas burners,
with openings in the form of slits, which
cost six cents for the same illumina-
ton. Argand burners are, light for
light, about 20 per cent. more econom-
ical than the other sort. Next to these
come incandescent lamps burning alco-
hol which give light at half the price
of the ordinary gas burner. Ordinary
coal oil lamps give light much more
cheaply, the cost per unit of illumina-
tion being little more than one-fifth
that of incandescent electric light; but
the modern gas lights with incandes-
cent mantles are still more economical,
furnishing for one and three-quarters
cents per hour the same amount of
illumination as incandescent electric
lamps at ten cents. Electric arc lamps
are about 10 per cent. more economical
still, and are the cheapest sources of
artificial light at present known to us.

HOLIDAYS THE WORLD OVER.
In Latin American Countries People
Work Only Work 2OODays a Year,

a computation made a short time ago
showed, says the Sun, that among
European countries the two in which
wages were highest and the hours of
labor least were England and France
whereas the two countries in which
wages were smallest and the hours of
labor longest We're Italy and Russia
In some countries of the world an ex-
PLANTATION of the apparent dearth of
progressive industry among the in
habitants is to be found, perhaps, in the
recurrence of holidays of a religious,
patriotic, or purely social character
and many persons who are familiar
with the industrial usages in some cit
les of South and Central America, say
that there tie number of holidays
seems to exceed the number of work.
ing days. There are in such countries
usually no eewer than a dozen church
festivals and there are besides pa
triotic festivals. A similar state of af-
fairs exists N all Latin countries, and
is to be found in the United States,
too, when one turns to the legal festi-
wills of Louisiana. There is the holiday
of Jan. S, commemorating the battle of
New Orleans; the Mard Gras on March
2, in New Orleans; Confederate Me-
mortal Day In April, Good Friday, All
Saints Day, Election Day, Louisiana
Labor Day on No. 25 and Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas days. Florida cele-
brates the birthday Of jefferson Davis;
Texas, the anniversary Of the battle of
San Jacinto, and Alabama, the day of
Mardi GraS. Deducting the Sundays
and holidays, the number of working
days in the United States, exclusive of
the Gulf states, is 905. In Russia there
are 267 working days; Great Britain has

the total number of days in a year
there are left 313, and IL one-third of
the other days available for work are
set apart for holiday purposes 1t is
perfectly clear why there should not
be more than 200 working days in a
year. In Anglo-Saxon countries and in
the United states the special effort of
working men has been not to reduce
the days of labor, but the hours OF
labor in each day. and thus there has
been within the last twenty years a
larger reduction, really. of working
time in the United States and In Great
Britain than in the Latin or Latin
American countries.
