The STORY OF The ARK.
Question Has Arisen as to Ru-
theDticity of Voyage.

As III the case of the story Of Jonah
and his brief but intimate acquain-
tance with the whale, questions have
been raised about the authenticity OF
the story of the trip Of the first house
boat, the ark. Was it possible to con-
struct a vessel having the reputed ca
pacity of the famous craft? What were
it's dimensions anyway? These ques-
tions have buzzed in the head Of more
than one "old subscriber and ICONS
tant reader.'' The editor of the Syren
and Shipping has undertaken to an
swer these questions and ailay for all
time any doubts as to whether the
writer of the story of the deluge was
ignorant of the subject of ship-build-
ing. "Within the last ten years." he
says 'the general Dimensions of the
ark have been closely followed by car
go steamship builders for deep sea
and the American Great Lakes SER
vice. According to the bible, the ark
was 48O feet long, 80 feeS wide and 48
feet deep. Her tonnage was II, Alb,
and she had plenty of room for pairs
of all the distinct species of animals
that are classed by Bufen-244-and
she could have accommodated 1000
persons and then have plenty of room
for the storage of supplies. In the
seventesth century Peter Jansen,
aollander, built vessel of the exact
proportions of the ark, and she was
successful, as records Of the times
show, in making money for her own
ers. Noah, the "Father OF Naval
Architecture, - is held in profound re-
spect by naval architects Of today, who
know how immensely the Phoenicians,
Greeks and Romns and all other ship
builders fell short of the excellence OF
the type of the ark as commodlus,
safe and economical vessel"
