EVENTS MARKING AN EPOCH.

The simultaneous happening Of two
great national events in the field OF in
dustry is likely to mark an epoch In his
tory. We refer to the fact that American
steel makers are able to supply British
shipbuilders with steel shipplates in quail
fly better and in price cheaper than II is
possible for British steel makers n do.
and the further fact that at the same
time. shipbuIlding in the United States
is capable OF being made as cheap as It
is in any other part OF the world. while
the ability OF our builders to produce
ships as good has not. for years. been
seriously questioned. These two events
are pregnant OF great events in the fu-
ture. beneficial. industrially. 10 the

ing firm was obtained from the west Of
Scotland. while now a large portion is
imported from America. The tonnage OF
ships constructed by his firm aggregates.

September number OF the Engineers Ga

ment is made that steel ship plates made
in America are now delivered at Belfast
at ten and twelve shillings per ton cheap
er than they can be supplied by British
manufacturers. The Carnegie Steel
Company, OF Pittsburg, is now turning
out 1000 tons Of steel ship plates, month
ly, for shipment abroad. Mr.. G. o. Her
bert, an inspector for the British Lloyd's
Register Of British and Foreign Shipping.
is now located at Pittsburg inspecting
and passing the steel plates destined for
British shipyards. Recently he was
quoted. in an intervitw with represent
