feet: gross tonnage, 1917 He pre-
dcted an increase in the next five years
to a length of $50 feet, breadth of
6I8 feet, draueht of 2o.4 feet and a
gross tonnage of 1894 When the five
years had elapsed the actual dimensions
were found to be- Length. 64o feet !;
breadth, $50 feet; draught, 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 323 per cent. Now Mr.. Cort-
he'll predicts that in 1913 there will be
a total of I6,6S5 steamships, represent
ing a total tonnage of 100000, 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, 80 feet;
gross tonnage, 10000
Other interesting features Of Mr..
Corthell'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 56,28I in 1873 to 10000 in
1913, and their tonnage from I4,I85,836
TO 3,24Tooo. The weight of sea-borne
commerce in 1913 will have increased
to 435,oooooo tons, and the value of the
combined exports of the leading ten ma
tions of the globe will have reached the
stupendous total of $Io,ooo,ooo,ooo
In discussing the outlook for the fu-
ture Mr.. Corthell said:
There is no reason why steamships
should not continue to increase in size,
and there is every reason why they

builders and ship owners in urging the
necessity for greater depths.
"As to the cost of fuel in large and
small steamships, theoretical calcula-
tions and actual practice agree in show
ing that the consumption of coal per 100
ton miles is about to A., as between
a 800 foot ship and a $50 foot ship
the one having a loaded displacement of
500 tons and the other 20, so tons the
one with a drauGht of "a feet 6 inches
and the other 81 feet AZ inches
"The operation of the law controlling
the development of steamships, particu-
larry in respect TO their draught, is mex
orable. The naval architect and the
steamship companies feel its effects first
of all, because behind them urging them
on to greater and deeper ships are the
worlds commercial requirements and

one foot extra draught, or made five
fold for two feet, with very trifling
loss of speed, even at deeper draught.
"The Moldavia, of the Peninsular and
Oriental Line, on draught OF II feet

cargo. Each additional foot of draught
gives an increased carrying power of
about $50 tons. Three feet increase
would, therefore, add about 1000 tons.
or 90 per cent to her freight earning
capacity. There would be some de-
crease in speed, but nothing sensibly af-
fecting her time on passage. Facts such
rs these explain the insistence of ship

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
ful 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
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 insistently and persist
emily stated by naval architects for in
creased draught, not only for greater
stability, speed and generally better pro-

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 a steamship is increased by in
creasing the draught, the power required
TO drive ton of displacement at a 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 1t has been stated that
this great ship of more than $4,000 tons
displacement can carry only 500 to 600
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 800 tons
more cargo. The freight earning ca
pacity would thus be nearly trebled for

"Last year at this time I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, un- til it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so 1 suffered the torments of the damned, and l had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until 1 bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and 1 had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until 1 was as sore as could be, and until 1 suffered excruciating pains. 1 did not know what 1t was, and resorted to number of blood purifiers, using at times also Cuticura Soap.

PLAN TO GUARD FOOD LAW.

As the result of the new pure food law which goes into effect January 1 next the department of agriculture is making preparations for the increased labor and equipment involved in it's en- forcement
 The working forces and the appli- ances of the laboratories at Philadel- phia. Chicago, Baltimore and New or leans will be largely increased. while al the ports of New York and Boston there will be erected new laboratories in which to conduct the necessary ex- aminations of all food products coming into this country
 Plans for the latter buildings have been approved by Dr. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry. and Secretary Wilson will doubtless coincide with the ideas of pr. Wiley.
 There is no money available for the construction of those buildings. but the secretary has been assured that it will be forthcoming at the next session of congress.
 Furthermore, assurances have been given that the money necessary to ex- ecute the pure food law through the employment of inspectors and the nec- essary clerical force will be provided.

"Aunt En- was easily the star of
the visitors. Her poem was as good
as if she had written it herself. She
made herself awfully numerous and
awfully promiscious, and she did it
in way that showed she had had
practice.
But we have neither time nor space
to individualize. Suffice it to say
that every one who participated made
hit, and that the entertainment was
an unqualified success, and that those
who conceived it and carried it into
execution are entitled to the thanks of
the city for the pleasantest two hours
of entertainment that our people have
enjoyed for many moons.
Laying aside all frivolity and speak
ing in serious strain, there has
nothing given us so much pleasure
as the loyal and royal manner that
the citizens of Sank Centre rallied
around this entertainment given by
purely home talent. If they will carry
the same spirit into every walk of life
this city will grow and flourish like
green bay tree. The fact is that God
and nature has done so much for
Sank Centre that the residents, or
at least many of them, have come to
the conclusion that it is not necessary
for them to do anything for them
selves. One-half the effort that is and
has been put forth by sister villages,
it put forth by this city would have
made Sank Centre the leading town
in this part of the country. 1t isn't
too late yet for us to get to the front.
The same spirit that made "The
Deestrict Skule" the most successful
affair ever held in this city, the same
local enthusiasm, the same local
unity that backed them up, if mani
tested along all lines will make our
city what it ought to be-one of the
greatest towns in Minnesota, west of
the twin cities. Let us put our ham,
mers in cold storage and get out cant
hooks and boost.
