Did II Ever?

| saw a man walk down the street
Witt; high and lordly tread.
And soon | saw his lordly feet
Go higher than his head
Did il ever occur to YOU?
The wind was blowing very high,
There IS no doubt of that:
1t ran against a stately guy
And took away his hat
Did ii ever occur to you?
saw a woman leave the car
And she was round and tat:
she got OFF backward with a jar
And struck the pavement flat
Did ii ever occur to you?

The late Prince Herbert Bismarck
had the reputation of having decided

Il royal reception he bumped roughly
against an Italian prelate, who looked
at him Indignantly. 'You evidently
don't know who I am" said the prince
haushtiiy. 'T am Herbert Bis
marck.' "Oh." answered the prelate.

ShipbuiIdinq in 1904.


just row in our shipyards. Lloyd's
Register, the recognized authority Oh
shipping matters, makes it plain that
British yards are comfortably busy and
that John Bulls supremacy on the seas
is not in the slightest danger The
showing for 1904 is not one which
Americans will relish. Some depart-
ments of industry are at a low ebb in
Great Rritain but the production of
vessels in which to carry the worlds
commerce goes on with the activity
W hich has marked the business for gen.
erations.
Llovd's statistics show that shipping
turned from the stocks last year in
British yards was double that of all
other nations combined, as to steam
vessels. and, including sailing vessels.
that the production aggregated three
ffths of that OF the entire world. The
149 vessels of all kinds. including war
craft. built in British yards had an ag
gresate tonnage of 800 22@@7 The
total tonnage OF the vessels con-
structed by all nations in 1904 was
l,"S1 $3.50. 1875. 500 tons of this being of
steam vessels and only l9O.37O of sail
ing vessels. This is a remarkable il
luStratiOn of the rapidity with which
sails are being superseded by steam.
Another important fact is the in
crease in the tonnage of steam vessels.
Ten years ago and previous TO that for
some years only about half n dozen
vessels We're constructed each year hav
ing Il tonnage of 5000 or more. and few
were built Of more than 5000 tons.
tury the average number of vessels con-
Structed each year in British yards
having tonnage Of 5000 or upwards
VAS 80; Il of 5000 tons. and more We're
launched i'll 1904 and of % which are
now on the stocks no fewer than are
OF more than 1000 tons each. The
enormous increase in the tonnage of in
divIdual vessels is considered one of
the most striking phenomena OF the
times AMI one which must have a ire
mendous bearing upon commerce.
If, however. Great Britain is so far
superior to all other nations in con-
struction Of commercial craft. the
United States can claim the palm III
construction of war vessels, those
turned out of American yards having a
tonnage of 11l.00O, which exceeds all
former annual records except that of
Great Britain. in 1901, when the tom
mage Of her war vessels aggregated go
0nO. OF commercial vessels turned out
of tho yards OF countries other than
led. with 239,O00 tons, and Germany and
France aggregated 1000 and $1,000
tons, respectively. This country can
at least. therefore, claim to be second
in the race. although so far behind
Great Britain.
Another important advance i'm con-
stru"tion mentioned by Lloyd's is the
increased employment of the turbine
propeller. In British yards. in 1904, IL
vessels were equipped with turbines.
and : large ships now in course OF con-
struction will be similarly equipped.
british construction for the commerce
of the Great Lakes is reported to have
materially decreased, and it may be as
Suned that i'll this field there has been
yards.

Fourteen separate routes are pro-

two additional subways, extending the
full length of Manhattan Island. one
of them reaching into the Bronx; sew

Forty-second street and number of
cross-town lines between Fifty-ninth
