cars will be required for their transpor

MAYOR GAYNOR s LIST.

Some curiosity has been mADifested
in the selection by Mayor Gavnor of
New Nork. of the sixteen best books in
the world. Mayor Gayuor is lawyer
of ability, has served with distinction
on the bench, and one would suppose
that his mind would turn TO solid work
1t does. And vet there are no distipc-
tive law books in his list Of sixteen of
the best books. This list is as fol
lows

tuition.
Those are solid works, sure enough.
But, one would naturally suppose that.
in placing so much Importance upon the

States. One would suppose also, that

can history. literature, and lurls-
prudence. and tha.. the reading which
the Mayor recommends being nearly
all of European classics. should be used

So considered, the Mayors list is n
good ono; but, without that. it lacks
the very elementary reading which
would make appropriate tbc list which
he suggests.

RESTRICTION ON SHIP BUILDING,

a new service in the Panama Canal
is suggested by Col Grunsky, the
noted engineer, with regard to the
building Of ships. He has prepared a
paper 10 be read before the Iutcrna-
tioDal Congress Of Navigation, which is
to meet in Philadelphia next Nav,
which will urge that the Panama Canal
sud locks he made the standard for
ship building. beyond which no vessel
shall be constructed in size. This
standardlzing he would have apply, not
only to the size Of the vessels. but TO
the depth Of water in hsrbors, and to
be a check on the inordiuatc length Of
ocean steamers,
slt would, of course, be quite possible
for steamers TO be built much larger
than the l000.foot locks at the Panama
Canal; but such vessels would have to
keep out of the canal trade They
could ply between our Atlantic ports
and Europe, and doubtless would find
plenty TO do i'll that transportation
business.
Col. Gunsky is, no doubt, Il good.
practical man. He stands high in his
profession and what he saws will be
listened to with consideration aud re-
spcct; and 50 far as the canal traffic
is concerned, his word will doubtless be
final. For it is quite true, as he sug.
gests, that the capacity Of the canal and
locks absolutely FIXES limit TO the size
of ships that Will use that canal. II
would he practically impossible to en-
large those locks, and the Colonel urges
that no aid should be given to vessels
too largo to enter those locks or to har-
Dor beyond the standard depth, taking
the canal and the locks as that stand.
ard
There has been raised before this,
the question Of the great cost Of deep
ching harbors in order to accommodate o
the tremendous steamships that are now
IN the Atlantic trade, and those vet
larger that are building. Thus far. the
chief ports have had little difficulty in
getting the depth of water necessary
aud the dockage facilities for those
ships. But, it is getting to be more diff
hcult all the time. and with the incress.
ing length aud draught of these huge
ships, the problem is one that keeps
the engineers ever on the alert Col,
Grunsky is undoubtedly right in claim.
ing that the Panama Canal must limit
the size of vessels using it; but il is
open to serious doubt whether the same
standardizing can be made to apply
10 the transatlantic shipping.
There is always room, even in the
stsudardizing or limiting Of the size
