WONDER OF THE WORLD.
Ocean Steamer That Will Be over 100
Feet Loug.

An ocean steamer that will rank
among the wonders of the world is I'M
der construction at the yards of Har-
land & Wolff, Belfast, Ireland. The
keel blocks of a sister ship will be laid
down in January. While nothing seems
to be impossible with shipbuilders, there
are many bold enough to prophesy that,
so far as size is concerned, these steam
ers are the last word in the building
of merchant ships.
They are being built for the White
Star line, which means that to large
extent they are a product of American
enterprise. The line flies the British
flag and is managed by Englishmen, but
it is controlled by American capitalists
The new steamers are an answer to the
Cunard line, which put out last year
the mammoth Lusitania and Maure-
tania to stand for British supremacy
on the seas.
Olympic is to be the name of the
record breaker under way, and her sis
ter ship will be called the Titanic. Each
will be 1000 feet long and so feet
broad. That is, they will be as wide
as a city street and several blocks in
length. The tonnage of each win be
10000, which would be about the ca
pacity of mile long train of so ton
cars.
