more bulky in the hull; she has more dis

Shamrock III has an overhang the cross
section OF which looks like an orbicular
accumulate leaf. The forward end of the
plane of the water-line is nearly of the
round-sided V.
The lines from the Overhangs down
through the garboards sweep deeper under
water in Shamrock Ill than in Reliance
because she has a deeper hull and be-
cause her hull is shorter. And the lines
through her bilges are also heavier curves
because her bilges are deeper under water
than those of Reliance. AT the same time
the dead rise in Shamrock III is very great
her garboards are far below the bilges.
Reliance on the other hand, has her GEN.
ter of buoyancy nearer the midship section.
Her hull is very shallow-she has no dead
rise to speak of-and her crooss section shows
bilges that resist forcefully the tendency
to heel TO the pressure of the wind. But

his face undergo great Transformation

brought in contact with his very soul.
All OF a sudden one of the observers, who
was from Detroit. stepped forward. touched
his arm and led him a few steps and asked:

There was murmur of Indignation at
this exhibition OF sacrilege, but the old

sigh of relief he answered:

Corn and cotton now the only inn
portant crops about which there is a doubt,
and every day of good weather brings both
of these products nearer safety. There is
conflicting testimony in regard to the con-
dition of both cotton and corn. The best
information tends 10 the belief that the
yield of cotton will be very large. barring
accidents, and that corn may turn out to
be a disappointment. Very few among
those who have the best Information on the
subject look for corn crop in excess OF
/. So. 900 600 bushels, although the official
crop report gives basis for much higher
estimate-Over 2.200,000,000 bushels. 1t is
clear, however. that the total crop for 1903
will fall somewhat short of that of 1902,
although still large enough to give hand
some returns of profit on the agricultural
output. There is not likely TO be exhaus-
ton or serious abatement of the buying
power of the country at large during the
next year. Without a doubt, however, the
tendency of commodities entering into do
nestle business uses is downward. This is
shown in the trend of iron and steel prices.
Construction everywhere is being cut down
on account of the high wages and cost of
material Quotations for the latter are
being marked down, and there will surely
be less work for skilled labor. There may
not be any open cutting of wages in conse-
quence of this but the effect will be none
the less apparent In reduction in the num-
Der of men employed. This is finding pres
ent illustration in many branches of activi-
ty especially in building and railroad con-
struction w. q. NICHOLAS.

The forecast that the shrinkage in
