What with buying Ocean liners for
cruisers, and contracting for warships,
the ship building trade must be making
a good thing of it, The worlds out
put of new vessels in 1903 exclusive of
war ships, amounted to 2,146,OOO tons.
or this 1864 900 was steam and 1S2, 900

ought to be very much larger. In

good for other industries and demands
much skilled and unskilled labor. OF
war vessels launched last year there
were 119, of which Al were built in
Great Britain and IS were built in other
countries.

Whatever course is taken will serve
to develop what Russia intends to do.
The attitude of her generals at tn"
present time is incomprehensible, as
one gathers it from the kilograms. The
Russians do not seem now to possess
either a Skobeloff or a Ghorko. Events
from now on will move very much
faster. Tomorrow will be exactly three
months since the commencement of the
war.

The position of the British column is

The tornado season seems to have
commenced. Great damage and con-

Sam Parks was not long an inmate of
Sing Sing. 1t is remarkable that so
strong a man should have been seized

he was a remarkable workman, but

from employer and employee was freely
used by him. Then the sudden cutting
