In the meantime, while these further tests are being made, The Age-Herald has out experts who are going over the southern territory with a view to ascertaining the quantity of this southern spruce pine available for pa- per making. It feels that if sufficient wood is found avail able this industry to the south will be equally great to that which has come from steel making in the Birmingham district. It will give employ ment to thousands of wood cutters and will make lands which have heretofore been unprofitable yield a consider able revenue to their owners. It will give employment to people on the rough lands of Alabama which are not fit for agricultural purposes and will make those prosperous who are now living from hand to mouth, so to speak.

 NEW YORK. July g. The worlds largest ship, the Majestic, will soon be operating between this port and Southampton England. according to announcement made here recently by the International Mercantile Marine Company. The titanic sea palace is now being completed at Hamburg, Germany.
 Fifty times as large as any of the packet ships that laid the foundation of transatlantic travel century ago, the Majestic. registering 56.000 tons. will make it's maiden trip in the carry part of 1929. The tonnage of this one ship nearly equals that of all the l32 vessels that formed the famel Span ryh armada.
 Designed as the pride of the Ger man merchant marine and launched in 1914 for the purpose of eClipsing the flags of rival nations, this huge ship was Christened by the then Kaiser and was named for Bsmark. But for the war she would have been commissioned in 1915, the last word in luxurious transportation and a pow er1ul factor in Germany's programme for maritime supremacy.
 As the war progressed announce ments were made from time to time that the then Keiser had ordered the big ship to be ready for service the day peace was won by the Germans. eh completed than when launched. The peace treaty provided that the Germans should complete the vessel as designed and turn her over to the reparations commission.
 The commission has already taken over the ship and has sold her to the White Star Line which is owned by Americans.
 Work on the big ship is reported to be progressing satisfactorily at Hamburg and. barring Interruptions, the ship will be ready for delivery in 1922.
 The Majestic is built on lines simil- ar to those of the Leviathan. which is second to her in size. the latter be- ing 1000 tons smaller. The Leviath- an, now under the American flag. has lain at Hoboken for the last eighteen months awaiting official action by the United States Shipping Board as to her disposal
 The Majestic's dimensions are: Length over all, 956 feet; breadth, 100 feet: draft, 40 feet. The ship will have capacity for 3536 passengers. with 1000 in first cabin alone, and will carry q crew of 1920 She will be equipped to burn fuel oil and will have tank capacity for about $500 tons, or more than enough to feed her fires for a round voyage. Her engines are turbines, with four screws.
 The ship will be equipped with a ballroom, q theatre, a Winter Garden, restaurant, a Pompeian swimming bath, a gymnasium, a tennis court, a conservatory and kennels.
