Is A SHIP WITHIN A SHIP.
Unique Operation on Worlds
Largest Liner Cost Company
About 81 1900, 900.

The Atlantic liner Olympic. the
largest ship in the world, arrived in
New York, this week for the first
time since September 30. During
her absence she has undergone an
operation unique in marine en-
cheering. An inner hull of heavy
camel steel has been placed in her.
making her virtually a ship within a
ship.
She completed the voyage fror6
Southampton in 5 days, Is hours and
22 minutes, maintaing an average
speed of 21.61 knots. Most of her
staterooms were occupied.
r. e. Shelley, one of the officers
OF the White Star Liner IN Liverpool.
tells what has been done to make the
Olympic an "~unsinkable' ship and as
safe as human ingenuity can make
her.
The effect of the addition of an
inner hull has been to increase the
fioatation capacity of the steamer
three-foid. In the past shipbuilders
have considered il sufficient if a
vessel could float with any two COM
partments pierced. The Olympic
would remain afloat If six eompart-
ments were flooded.
The number of watertight bulk
heads has been increased and some
of them are more than forty feet
from the load waterline.
An extra system of piping has been
installed, so that, If necessary, any
compartment can be pumped out by
way of the bilge or ballast pumps.
The main electric generating sets
have been placed in two special
water-tight compartments, which in
addition TO the emergency dynamo.
will prove a continuous supply of
light and current and power.
To complete the work and to add
more lifeboats has cost the White
Star company s1,500.000. The altera-
lions change the measurement of the
steamer. which is now 46,35S tons,
gross register instead of 1924 tons.

NEW BUILDING A
STEEL MOUNTAIN
WOOLWORTH SKY-SCRAPER IN
NEW YORK CONTAINS TWENTY
FOUR THOUSAND TONS OF
METAL AND THEN SOME.

The King of Skyscrapers came into
its W last week.
More than two hundred miles away
in his office at the capital, the presi-
dent of the United States glanced at
his watch, noted that 1t registered
just 1880 o'clock and pressed a but
ton. A second later waiting thou
sands in New York and its suburbs
saw, flashing out in outlines of fire,
the greatest mountain of steel and
stone ever erected by mantle
gigantic Woolworth Building at
Broadway and Park place.
1t was the formal opening of the
greatest of all skyscrapers-the fifty
seven-story building that F. w.
Woolworth has built for use as an
Office and business block. Towering
1913 feet above the sidwalk and with
so, 900 electric lights flashing from
basement to fagpole, it made an i'm
posing spectacle.
Twenty-four thousand tons of steel.
enough to build an elevated road
from the Battery to Harlem, was
used in its construction. Eighty
seven miles of wire is strung through
its walls and twenty-seven acres of
rentable space makes up its interior,
while thirteen acres more is taken up
by the elevators and corridors.
In the basement are six huge o.
500-power boilers that could lift one
hundred times the weight of the
Statue of Liberty. while the elevators
that honeyeomb the structure, if laid
end to end. would line all of the Man.
haitian waterfront. Every elevator is
provided with air cushions that op-
crate below the eighth floor and
which stopped the fall of the cars in
actual tests.
Thirteen million five hundred
thousand dollars has been spent in
the creation of the building. includ-
ing land and structural costs. $2,-
00O, 900 of that sun was expended
before the building reached the cellar,
as it extends 1870 feet below the sur
face. deeper than the foundation of
any building ever built.
Forty-three miles of plumbing
pipes were laid in the building, with
twelve miles of marble trim and
twelve miles of slate base. No wood
was used in its construction, all the
doors, staircases and partitions be
ing of steel, terra Gotta and wire
glass.
When fully occupied, the building
will have 10000 tenants, enough to
people a small city, and enough to
fill ten ten-car express trains in the
subway. A round trip in its twenty
eight elevators would be equivalent
to a four-mile ride all within one
building.
Frank w. Woolworth officially
announced that the average heighth
of the building from the sidewalk to
the topmost pinnacle of the structure
is 1872 feet and l inch; on Park
Place corner to top of tower, 791
feet Y inch; on Barclay street en-
trance to the top 1913 feet 8 inches.
The building from the bottom of the
foundation to top is 913 feet and
inch.

TRAOEFAVORAbLE
OUN|TEOS STATES
THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
ouoTES FIGURES TO SHOW
TRADE BETWEEN THIS AND
OTHER COUNTRIES.
Secretary of Commerce William C.

Secretary of Commerce William c.
Redfeld, In commenting upon
the detailed figures concerning the
imports and exports of the United
states for the month of March and
the nine months ended March, said .
The figures are striking. both in
their magnitude and in their details.
The aggregate business, inward and
outward, of the United States with
foreign countries for the nine months
was a little In excess of $4,000, 000,-
OO0-an impressive total, which If
maintained at the same rate would
bring the business for the entire
fiscal year we'll in excess of $4,100,-
900, 900.
Great Britain is our largest Gus
toner, buying from US over $47S,-
600. 900 and selling us oyer 1884,
OO0, 900, an aggregate for the nine
= months in excess of s712, 100000, or
A total business of nearly $4,000
900 a month. Canada is our second
best customer. buying from us $780,
000. 900 in nine months. equal TO
nearly s1,30O,000 every working
day. a pretty fair customer. that.
Then Germany comes third, buying
s268,00 900 from us in nine months
and selling us s146,000.0 600. She is
a pretty fair customer, too-buys
over $1,000. 600 a day. And fourth
comes France, to whom We sold
1920, 900, 900, and from whom We
bought S112. O00. GOO, 900.
II Is when We come to look at the
details of our foreign commerce by
what are called groups that We get
at the most striking facts. If. for
example. n is told that our exports
fell off in March, as compared with
the same month a year ago, by about
SIS 5000, 900. so that we only sold
s1S7. 600, 900 abroad in March, that
might seem a favorable condition.
But when one looks a little closer, he
finds that the falling OFF was almost
wholly in the sales of crude materials
for use In manufacturing. and that,
so far from a loss. there was an abso-
Lutte gain in the important items of
manufactures, which I'm the two i'm
portant classes of manufactures for
further use In manufacturing and in
manufactures ready for consumption
actually increased in the month of
March by about s13, 5000, 900. So
that our manufacturers held their
grip upon foreign markets of the
world strongly in March than
they did a year ago.
The figures for the entire nine
months arc such as to give just pride
to every thoughtful American to
whose notice they come. Out of the
total transactions of $4,000. GOO, 900
there is a balance in our favor of a
little over $500. 600, 900. Doing
pretty well, that. But a few COM
PARSONS with 1912 makes it look
even better. For example, II sales
of manufactures for further use in
manufacturing increased over $780,
900 900 and our sales of manufac-
lures ready for use increased over
the same period last ear S~sS,5OO.-
900, an increase In these two lines of
manufactured goods alone OF over

A Spring Prescription.

To an anxious health-seekel Ell
who wants to know his opinion OF
sulphur and molasses as a spring
blood purifier, DR.. w. A. Evans
responds in the Louisville Courier
Journal as follows:
"There is no spring blood puri-
fer equal to fruits and vegetables
to eat, plenty of water to drink
and exercise in the open air."
Humanity has long cherished
the idea that about this season of
the year it needs "spring tonic"
or "blood purifier" Fruits and
vegetables are much to be prefer
red to sulphur and molasses, and
the man who buys his blood puri-
fer from the grocery rather than
the drugstore will get a better and
much more palatable remedy, says
DR.. Evans.
The best physicians of the world
today agree that there is no better
tonic than an abundance of fresh
air and pure water, aided with a
proper amount of wholesome food
and exercise. Fresh air, sunshine
and water are free, bodily exercise
is enjoyed by the industrious and
is made profitable, food is cheaper
than medicine, and the man or
woman who elects to live on drugs
makes a most unwise choice,
