dict,d an increase in the next FIVE years
to a length of $50 feet, breadth of
64.S feet, draught of 2o4 feet and 4

years had elapsed the actual dimensions
were found to be: Length. o4o feet /;
breadth. $50 feet: draugbt, 32I feet:
gross tonnage. I7,I5I. Steamships of
500 feet or more in length had increased
from twenty-five to ninety-three-an in
crease of 3zs per cent. Now Mr.. Cort-
hell predicts that in 1913 there will be
total of I6,oS5 steamships, represent
ing total tonnage of 100000, or an
average OF 400 tons. The average di-
sensions of the largest twenty steam
ships will be: Length, 1900 feet:
breadth, 100 feet; draught, 50 feet; /;
gross tonnage, 10000, \
Other interesting features of Mr..
Corthcll's predictions, which are based
on the developments OF the past. are that
The speed of the fastest steamships in
1913 will be thirty knots. that the total
number of sailing vessels will have de-
creased from 56,aSI in 1873 to Io,Soo in
Io4s, and their tonnage from I4iss,Sso
to s,21r,ooo. The weight of sca-bornc
commerce in 1913 will have increased
to 4ss,ooo,ooo tons, and the value of the
combined exports of the leading ten ma
tons of the globe will have reached the
stupcndous total of $Ioooooooooo.
In discussing the outlook for the fu-
turc Mr.. Corthcll said:
There is no reason why steamships
should not continue to increase in size.
and there is every reason why they
Cañon City record., 1906-09-06

should do so. 1t is unnecessary to re
peat the arguments of commercial men
regarding the reduction in the cost OF
transportation by increasing the size of
the mass to be moved. The natural out
come Of the present tendency of trans
portation, both on land and water, is to
increase the volume 90 be moved: larger
cars and longer trains and more power
full locomotives TO move them on the
land, and larger ships and greater power
on the sea, The competition of coun-
tries and ports with one another, and
the necessity of reaching the markets of
consumption by distant producers all
serve to increase the freight capacity of
steamships; and the longer the course
the greater the demand for size.
"a very important feature of the sub
jcct is the urgent necessity of increasing
the draught of steamships. The length
and breadth have far odtstripped this
other most important dimension. The
draught, of course, is rigidly limited
by the depth of water in channels and
at docks.
''The reasons insistently and persist

portions of steamships. but for greater
capacity and greater economy of trans
portation are of the strongest and most
convincing character. As the displaee-
ment of a steamship is increased by in
creasmg the draught, the power required
to drive ton OF displacement at given
speed is reduced. Some instances of the
limitations of draught may be cited to
show how important is the question of
providing greater draught and greater
depth of channels to meet this draught.

sells of to-day, like all the swiftest mail

displacement can carry only 500 to Goo
tons of cargo, II her draught could be

crease would represent about 1900 tons
more cargo. The freight earning ca

Data collected by Mr.. Corthell to show

depth of water for larger vessels shows
that there are 1873 ports which now have
depth OF entrance chantSI Of less than
thirty feet at low water, and 20 (Which
have a depth of more than thirty. feet.
When all the channels are deepened as
now proposed, the number having more
than thirty feet in the channels At low
water will be increased to 81, Ninety
five ports now have less than thirty feet
of water in the entrance channels At high
water, and II3 have more than thirty

The most fortunate port IN the United

DO NOT RAKE UP THE GRASS
AFTER MOVING YOUR LAWN.

Some persons advise raking after
each moving. do not, because the
clippings drop down into the grass
and form a mulch which l consider
of great benifit. They also help to
fertilize the soil. The lawn that is
not moved often enough will not look
well, after you have been over it with
the mower, because there was growth
enough to partially hide the sward
upon which it falls. This will wither
and turn brown in a day or two and
greatly detract from the beauty of
the lawn. But If you keep your lawn
well mowed-and that means going
over it at least three times week in
ordinary seasons-the amount clipped
off at each moving will be so slight
that there will not be enough of it
to show. Do not set the knives so low
that they shave the soil. This prac-
tice will soon spoil lawn, as it in
terferes with the crown of the grass
plants. 1t clips away the blades of
grass which spring from the surface,
and destroys all that part of the
plant which we must depend for color
and soft plushlike effect. Let the
blades be set high enough to leave
at least two inches of the foliage
