feet; gross tonnage, 1917. He pre-
dicted an increase in the next FIVE years
to a length of $50 feet, breadth Of
64.8 feet, a draught of 2o4 feet and a
gross tonnage Of 1894. When the five
years had elapsed the actual dimensions
were found to be: Length, go feet
breadth, 68o feet; draught, 3z.r feet ;
gross tonnage, 1851. Steamships of
500 feet or more in length had increased
from twenty-five to ninetv-tfreean in
crease Of 3z3 per cent. Now Mr.. Cort-
he'll predicts that in 1913 there will be
a total Of I6,68s steamships, represent
ing a total tonnage of 45oooooo, or an
average Of 400 tons. The average di-
Mensions of the largest twenty steam
ships will be: Length, 1000 feet /;
breadth. 100 feet; draught, SO feet /;
gross tonnage, 3o.ooo-
/ Other interesting features Of Mr.
Cortllell's predictions, which are based
on the developments OF the past, are that
the speed Of the fastest steamships in
1913 viii be thirty knots, that the total
number of sailing vessels will have de-
creased from 56,z8I in 1873 to 1000 in
1915, and their tonnage from r4,r85836
to 3,z4I.ooo. The weight Of sea-borne
commerce in 1898 will have increased
to 4s5.ooo.ooo tons. and the value Of the
combined exports of the leading ten ma
fions Of the globe win have reached the
stupendons total Of Srooocoooo~.
In discussing the outlook for the fu-
ture Mr.. Cortheli said:
There is no reason why steamships
should not continue to increase in size.
ard there is every reason why they
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 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 to be moved; larger
cars and longer trains and more power
full locomotives 10 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
ject IS the urgent necessity of increasing
the draught Of steamships. The length
and breadth have far outstripped this
other most important dimension. The
draught, Of course, is rigidly limited
by the depth Of water in channels and
at docks.
"The reasons mistakenly and persist
entity stated BIZ naval architects for in
creased draught, not only for greater
stability, speed and generally better pro-
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1906-09-06

builders and ship owners in urging the
necessity for greater depths.
"As to the cost Of fuel in large and
small steamships, theoretical calcula-
tons and actual practice agree in show
ing that the consumption Of coal per 100
ton miles is about 8 to "a, as between
a 800 foot ship and go foot ship
tie one having loaded displacement OF
300 tons and the other 26,Iso tons, the
one with draught OF "a feet inches
and the other 81 feet IA inches.
THE operation OF the law controlling
the development Of steamships. particu-
larry in respect to their draneht, is mex
orablc. The naval architect and the
steamship companies feel its effects frs,
Of ali, because behind them urging then
on to greater and deeper ships are ths

portions of steamships. but for greater
capacity and greater economy Of trans
portation are Of the strongest and most
convincing character As the displace-
ment Of st amship is increased by in
creasIng the draught, tie 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.
The Deutschland, one Of the largest yes
sells OF to-day, like all the swiftest mail
steamers, carries very little freight be-
cause Of the limits imposed by her de-
parture draught II has been stated that
this great ship OF more thar $4,000 tons
displacement can carry only 500 to Goo
tons Of cargo. If her draught could be
increased one foot, about $50 tons more
cargo could be carried, and two feet IN
crease would represent about 1900 tons
more cargo. The freight earning ca
pacity would THIS be nearly trebled for

one foot extra draught, or made FIVE

loss Of speed, even at a deeper drgsght.
THE Moldavia, of the Peninsulsr and
Oriental Line, on draught Of n feet

cargo. Each additional foot Of draught
gives an increased carrying power OF
about 65o tons. Three feet increase
would, therefore, add about 1000 tons,

capacity. There would be some de-

EVENTS NOTED
HAD A PERILoUs VOYAGE OVER
LAKE MICHIGAN IN
AIR SHIP.
MATTRY'S WILD FLIGHT
Went Up to Amuse People at a Fair
and Took Hair Raising Sail
Through the Air.
A Night Of Anxiety.

The first ship to navigate Lake
Michigan aerially and cross from the
Wisconsin to the Michigan side, hung
tattered, torn and twisted wreck in
a large tree In a dense swamp six
miles southeast OF Wolverine. Its
steering gear demolished, 1t had sail
ed at the mercy of the winds.
The ship is the Columbia and its in
trepid navigator Is Capt. VIM. Mat
tray. The captain dropped anchor"
in this port" in the dead of night
and had almost as terrible an expert.
ence getting out of the swamp as he
had in crossing the lake.
The good ship Columbia was per-
forming, or rather promising 10 per-
form for the visitors at the county
fair at Oconto, Wis. When ii failed
to go up the great crowd of ruralites
that had gathered to witness the
strange sight declared it a fake. Thurs
day evening, however, they changed
their minds. The balloon apparatus
was inflated and its wings" began TO
flap, and the airship arose and few
like bird to the unspeakable won
derment of the fair visitors. Out over
'hN loon ~ NCht, at a hiSHt
OF 1000 feet, and then with sudden
twist 1t darted with the speed of ID
homing pigeon toward Green Bay.
Capt. Mattray, in describing his en-
perience said:
THE big ship shivered and cracked
and moaned in its fight. and to every
counter wind current that hit 1t IL
gave vocal response. Several times

feet altitude and at other times was

dipping into Green Bay and when the
night air struck me | was chilled to
the bone. My teeth chartered and
became numb all over. fell asleep
once from exhaustion and when

to the ship and slept, | guess, about
four hours.

money reaches him.

TERRIBLE scALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and

II had an eruption appear on nv

was. Instead of going to a physician /

SCHOOL MONEY.
a Million Per Year Lost and Reform
Is Needed.

Commenting upon the effort being
put forth by the department of public
instruction to secure a better compli-
ance with the school laws of the state.
Deputy Superintendent w. II. French
says that out OF the $10.000,000 ex'
pended for the support OF the public
school system OF the state $1,000, 900
is frittered away annually.
Asked In what manner the losses to
the districts are sustained, Mr.. French
replied: In many ways. ! will speci-
~ few. We have discovered that
many district treasurers give no bonds,
and sometimes there are defalcations.
Recently a district treasurer up
north who had given no bond disap
peared with $3.50 in school funds.
There are probably other instances
not known to this department.
Again. district treasurers treat pub
lie moneys as their own. They loan IL
or deposit ii in banks and pocket the
interest This money belongs to the
schools.
Sometimes school district officers
allow themselves salaries. In most
cases this is unlawful. The school
laws do not provide for the payment
of salaries. If any are paid they must
be voted at the annual school meeting,
and may not be paid by order of the
board out OF funds on hand at the end
OF the year, as is frequently DONE
The purpose of the department in re
curing school officers to give sworn
answers to certain questions asked as
a condition preliminary to the allot-
ment of the primary school money is
to detect violations of the school laws
and compel their observance, SO that
the primary school moneys will be
faithfully devoted to the purpose for
which they were appropriated.

tight joints. would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great

as white lead and some which are
offered by the name OF ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are lust as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal. lead, corroded and

His Scheme Worked.

II rs related that a certain man was
recently very sad because his wife
had gone out of town on a visit,
which she would not shorten in spite
of his appeals to her to come home.
He finally hit upon a plan to induce
her to return. He sent her a copy Of
each of the local papers with one item
clipped out, and when she wrote to
find out what 1t was he had clipped
out ne refused to tell her.
The scheme worked admirably! In
less than a week she was home to
find OFT what IL was that had been
going on that her husband didn't want
her to know about.-Pittsburg Press.
