If ocean greyhounds continue to grow
in size the harbor Of New York, which
was deepened to 80 feet seven years ago,
must undergo the operation again. The
steamer Oceanic, now building, which
will be 7O4 feet long and the largestves-
seleverconstructed, is to have draught
of about 80 feet. Most Of the fast trans
Atlantic steamers draw from &c to 20
feet, but few have been loaded to a
depth of 80 feet. tt is proposed in New
York to deepen the harbor to IS feet.
No limit has been fixed to the size Of
vessels. The largest are the fastest and
also the most popular.

Among the statistics compiled for the
year 1897=those relating to loss of life
by disasters on land and sea are of spe-
cial interest. The total loss from all
disasters in the world is estimated at
3s9.o77 lives, against 246,546 in 1896 and
275,391 in 1895. This number includes
1O3,451 lives lost in war or massacre,
but it does not include the 1902 who
persisted by epidemic or the thousands
who died from famine in India and other
countries. These figures therefore
show that 1897 was a record year in the
number and character of its misfor-
tunes : .
