New Queen of the Seas

The Lusitania is the fastest as well as the largest of the ocean liners. She is 79O feet long and of SS feet beam, and her full-loaded draught is 371a feet. Big as she is her furnaces and turbine engines drove her through the seas at a speed at times of twenty-five knots an hour. She has outdone all previous records, the best of which be- tween Queenstown and Sandy Hook was the Lucania 's-5 days, hours and 23 minutes. The success of the Lusi- tania establishes the value of the new construction. The engineer that de- signed the turbine engines of the Dreadnought was selected to make the plans of the Lusitania.
 The Lusitania has six turbines with a total capacity of 70,000 horse power A recent writer says there are 900,000 blades in the six turbines against which the steam is hurled These blades are slender and they revolve a rotar in a big cylinder, which in turn drives the screws which ceaselessly churn the briny water Every blade must keep its place. and experience shows this can be accomplished in even stormy sea.
 Just as the Dreadnought demon strated the superiority of the turbine in warships, so the Lusitania has done in commercial ships. And this is why the Lusitanias first trip is an event of more than ordinary importance.
 But there are few ports that can accommodate these great ships draw ing over thirty feet of water. The Lusitania could not have entered New York through the long-used Gedney channel, and the completion of the Ambrose channel, which has a depth of forty feet at low water made the new Cunarder possible. It was the Ambrose channel as we'll as the tur- bine engines that has given us this new triumph in ship building and ship speeding. A channel forty feet deep { is now necessity in all great ports.

MABELLE SAYS SHE'S HAPPY

lutely silent on the entire matter-he will not talk. He says people have miscon- strued his statements so often, and have misjudged him so, he thinks 1t best not to say anything. We have both learned not to care Isn't that the best way, after all?"
 Mrs. Corey laughed when I asked her how she spent her days in New York;
 Surely no one would be intrested in hearing such trivial things she pro- tested.
 When I assured her that many would be, she divulged the various modes of work. recreation and amusement that make her life one of joyous activity and changing interest. Here are some of the things she does:
 Gives instructions to servants.
 Takes vocal practice two hours every day
 Walks in the park.
 Rides horseback.
 Reads.

The Qulck-Step Movement.

"There is one pleasing feature about Birmingham which deeply impresses me-" said a travelling man, and that is the qulck-step movement that here prevails
 "I notice 1t among men crossing the streets, entering and leaving cars, and on the sidewalks. l noted it. too, among your splendid women who pass to and fro on the streets To me it Is sign of business and of refinement. The loiterer male or female, Is susceptible to harsh criticism, no matter how worthy he or she may be. and the move-along idea is always best and safest. Let Birming- ham people ever keep up the practice. It favorably impresses the ohservant -lsi- tor"

the United States, because we
have the advantage Of all the
lessons which Europe has learned
and paid for in the course of u
century of theory and practice.
Lest ii might be assumed that
the rapid and gaining depletion of
America forest resources is sui
iiciently accounted for by the in
crease of population, it Is pointed
out in the circular that the in-
crease in population since 1850 is
barely moro than bal! the increase
in lumber cut IN the same period.
Two areas supplying timber have
already reached and passed their
maximum productiop--the North
eastern States in 1870 and the
Lake States in 1890. To-day the
Southern States, which cut yellow
pine amounting to onethird the
total annual lumber cat of the
country, are undoubtedly pear
their maximum. The Pacific
States will soon take the
ascendency. The State of Wash
ington within few years has
come to tn front and now ranks
first of all individual States volume
of cut.
At present but Que fifth of the
total aren of the United States is
embraced in Natl, nal Forests.
The remaining TO r-fifths have al
ready passed or most likely to
pass into private hands. The
average age of the trees felled for
lumber this year is not less than
l5O years. In ether words, if he
is to secure secon crop of trees
of the same size the Ium herman or
private forest owner must wait,
say at least one hundred years
for the second crop grow AS
a rule, such long time Investments
as this waiting wcuId involve do
not con mend then selves to busi-
ness men who are accustomed to
quick r:turns But the States
and the Nation can look much
farther ahead. The larger, then,
the area of National and State
contfol over woodlands, the
greater is the Likelihood that the
forests of the country will be kept
permanent y productive.
