GERMANY's RESOURCES.

In any estimation of Germany's rank as sea power the marvellous develop ment of her ship building plants and of her ovei sea carrying trade musr be assigned a high value. In less than twenty years the progress made amounts to an economical and tech nical revolution In methods and re- sources. Today she Is able to furnish every type of war ship demanded by her new ambition as commercial rival or an arbiter of war.
 Az late as 1890 Germany was building three-iifths of her trading steamers in Great Britain, and only ten years earlier was her most important com pany in a position to attempt the con- structinn of transatlantic liners. By 1898, the importation of ships from for eign yards had fallen off one-third, and little more than l6 per cent of her own output was built for other trading nations. In January, 1900, she boldly challenged the ship yards of the world, and entered new epoch in the indus try by launching, with much pomp and ceremony. the well known liner, Deutschland. Such was the progress made in q single decade.
 Government encouragement has been a potent influence in the development, and this wise oversight may be said to date from 1870. when the duty on ship building material was removed, and the corps of practical and theoretical marine architects and engineers ere ated and fostered by the state began to exert its infiunce. Within her terri tory there now exist three imperial ship yards and thirty-nine important mercantile establishments for the con- struction of modern steamers. Five of these are equipped for the supply of battle ships. nine others can build cruisers. five can turn out transatlantic liners of the highest type. and at least fourteen can furnish passenger steam CTS of the firat class. Here, then. are possibilities that We must study most cdrefuly.-Ncw York Herald.
