Concerning ocean Liners.

Some interesting figures concerning
the great Atlantic liners are given in
Engineering. Twenty years ago. when
first vessels Of 20 knots were intro
duced on the Atlantic, the cost for
each voyage was about $4,000 to s55..
900; ten years ago. when 225k to %
knot ships were put on the service
this was increased to about $3.50
and now It is calculated that the ex.
pense Of a 241z-knot Mauritania OF
Lusitania trip cannot be short OF
$3.50. 900. AS to the total population
of Atlantic liners, the larger figures
apply to the emigrant ships from the
Mediterranean. For 1907 the average
is 1853. whereas in the previous yeal
It was 1856 The maximum averar.
per ship for any one line this year /,

Wild Animals Returning.

The animals that prey are growing
in such numbers in the northern part
of the State, particularly in those
natural game preserves, the National
and State parks, that they threaten
the continued existence of animals Of
the hunt. And from the southern
part of the State, even from such long
settled regions as that about the hig
bend of the Minnesota, in the neigh
borhood Of Mankato, st. Peter and
New Ulm, the three historic towns,
the wolf from being a we'll nigh X
tinct animal has come into his own
again and become a menace
Suddenly, at the semi-centennial
moment, the State appears to be SUPP
porting, as many fish, flesh and fowl
as it did in Territorial days. The
State will have to assume anew the
determination Of wild animals, and
bounties offered will be even more in
demand. There is danger both to
inhabitants and to game in these
depredations. Particularly should
there be concern for the scattered
jewellers in the north of the State who
are anticipating the coming of denser
population, holding down lone claims
and the like.-St. Paul Dispatch.
