JAPAN ON THE SEA.

Rates and Lack of Ships.
From the Vancouver Sun.

From the Vancouver Sun.
According to advices brought on the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha steamer Yokohama
Maru. which has arrived at Victoria on
her maiden trip from Japan, there is the
greatest kind Of activity in Japanese
shipping. and compared with last year
the number OF vessels under charter has
almost doubled. with the supply OF ves-
sells to handle tonnage being inadequate
to I'LL the demand.
The vessels most recently chartered
have been taken up for terms Of six
months or a year and represent a ton
mage of IS 900 tons. There is still a de-
mand for vessels. and the chartering
rates have advanced amazingly. The
Mitsuki Maru has been chartered for
5000 a month, the Shinsel Maru for
$500 a month. the Shinyo Maru for
5000 a month. and the Hokubu Maru
for 5000 a month. It is said the profits
obtained by the owners are unusually
large.
The reason that the companies do not
buy vessels instead OF engaging them at
such high rates Is that there are none
for sale, the marine transportation busi-
ness in foreign countries being much in
the same fix. The present rates Of
freight. compared with five years ago,
shoW an increase OF GU per cent iOr Codi
carrying, and between 80 and so per cent
In cereals and other goods.
Many new vessels have been construct
ed in all parts of the world as the result
of the high rates and the demand for
tonnage. From January OF this year to
March 81 II is estimated that 545 vessels
have been built which total 1.675.6 800 tons.
Compared with the ships built during the
corresponding period last year. the num-
Der built during the first three months Of
ISL increased 20 per cent. =,

Evidence of rapidly Increasing de-
mand for automobiles by farmers and
merchants Of the great Northwest AND
an ultimate market far In excess Of the
present, Is furnished by Ira ID. Lundy
dealer in Stoddard-Dayton motor cars in
Seattle, Wash, who has been In New
York for the past week comforting with
the officials Of the United States Motor
Company.
Mr. Lundy said the demand for re-
liable small cars is growing beyond the
capacity of the manufacturers to meet
1t and that 30 per cent Of the cars
sold in Seattle and vicinity were ma
chimes selling for 5000 or under.
While In the East, Mr.. Lundy drove

and give him information concerning the

days, averaging 2o1 miles per day. He
was accompanied by his wife and chill

ment OF the trip.
Mr.. Mckenzie says that none OF = his
family was fatigued In maintaining the
2c0Nmile average. The car did not re-
quire a single adjustment. and the only
delays were caused by two punctures,

DEFEATED TIRES FREQUENT.
Autoists Often Travel on Punctured
Tubes without Knowing 1t.

1t often happens. says the Michelin
tire expert, that motorists travel on de-
fiated tires for considerable distances
without knowing tina such is the case.
This is generally due to the fact that
punctures are not always followed by
sudden defiation, but frequently allow
the air to escape very slowly.
A nail which has entered the tread Of
tire will not generally penetrate to
the inner tube until the wheel has made
a number OF revolutions. When 1t does
pierce the tube, the nail remains in the
puncture. SO that the tire would not be
debated for hours II the wheel were not
in motion.
Oftentimes this does much damage.
for when car Is travelling on Debated
tire both tube and envelope are literally
chewed between the rim and the ground.
When the tire is examined 1t Is found
that the walls of the envelope are
strained and the canvas torn. while the
