Recent Activity In America.
The recent activity in American
shipbuilding Is due 10 the great pros
perity OF the country and TO new leg
islation. The legislation OF forty years
ago was disastrous. In 1860 there were
on the high seas 2.3S6 900 tons OF Am
erican shipping. which dwindled In the
next ten years to I 100000. and In 1883
was down to 100000 only But the
country started up the ladder again
about ten years ago. and has been pro-
crossing with giant strides The re-
turns at present In hand for 1900 show
that the 207 900 tons OF 1899 have been
exceeded by at least 10000 last year
and It Is confidently predicted that
within twenty years the United States
will beat Great Britain as badly In
ship-buildlng as It is already doing
In the matter OF steel and iron.
On the coast OF the United States has
lately been laid the keel Of two ship,
which. when completed. will beat all

The most costly state funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps that
OF Alexander the Great. A round mil
lion was spent in laying Alexander to
his rest. The body was placed In
coffin OF gold, filled with costly aro-
MATES, and a diadem was placed on
the head, The funeral car was embel-
lished with ornaments OF pure gold
and its weight was so great that II
took 81 mules more than a year to
convey II from Babylon to Syria.

A comparison OF the material OF
which ships are built is interesting. In
1920, for instance. the world had 10000
tons OF steam vessels and 5.sl4 900 tons
OF sailing ships all Of which were built
OF wood. In 1860 the carrying power
OF steam had risen to 6.Si0. 900 and OF
sail l4.S90.0O0, but all but two were
still OF wood. II was not until 1853
that the use OF iron just began In
ship-bullding. In that year was built
La France, an iron-plated frigate, for
the French navy. and In the next year
the Warrior. OF CLIO tons. was built
In England. During the civil war the
Ericsson monitor and other Iron clad
war vessels were built In the United
States. The Monitor was the first
iron-clad successfully put to the haz-
ard OF fierce engagement.
Iron Ships Begun.
The Guion line OF Transatlantic
ships then began building iron ships.
and by 1879 nearly half the steam
vessels built were being constructed OF
that metal. In 1879 came the first steel
vessels Eighteen thousand tons OF

Soon It was shown that a steel vessel

II is with some pride that we note
that In the number OF ships built the
United States stands rncond on the list
but this feeling of pride is humbled
somewhat by the fact that although
Germany built only ninety-elght ships
their combined tonnage was 10000
tons greater than that OF the i54
launched in our shipyards. The cause
for this disparity between numbers and
tonnage arises from the fact that

recess this year for an exceptional a.
mount of work had been accomplished
and preparations had been made for the
prompt consideration of many meas

Hepburn's Nicaraguan Canal bill had
been reported and January 9TH, the
day after Congress will reassemble, had

It will come up on that day but will

All doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
