a hospital for the crew, with beds
for 16 patients.
Safety devices of every nature
have been installed on the Levias
than. Among these is a complete
fire department. An automatic
alarm system, which necessitated
the running of % miles Of copper
tubing to every quarter of the huge
craft, from the fire watchmen's
room;. sprinkler system and ten
pumps, capable of throwing 1910
gallons of water minute are
among the precautionary apparatus
on the Wonder Ship.
Other safety apparatus includes
four microphone submarine signals;
thirteen water-tight bulkheads:
eighteen sliding doors. hydraulIcaIly
operated from the bridge; So life
boats and two motor boats. Tha
latter are equipped with wireless.
An idea Of the tremendous task
which confronted the reeonditiOners
OF the Leviathan in preparing her
for service is shown by the fact
that new plans had to be drawn up
for every part of the vessel before
actual rebuilding could be started.
This difficulty was speedily over
come, however, and the Leviatfan
now stands a superb monument to
the capabiIity OF American mechan-
tcal genius, bringing back to the
Stars and Stripes part OF that glory
which vanished from the seas with
the passing of the clipper ships.
which at one time made the United
States the leading maritime nation.
Americus times-recorder., 1923-05-08

would probably be less than the world
average, for they would be chiefly con-
structed in areas now sparsely popu-
lated and therefore the right Of way
including the cost Of the land actual
ly utilized by them would be in most
cases nominal and in other instances
where the population is dense but
wages low the labor cost Of construc-
ton would be comparatively small,
though this would be i'll some de-
gree offset by the higher prices now
prevailing and also by the cost of
transporting the rails and equipment
winch would neccs 5arily be brought
from other parts OF the world. The
cost OF railway construction, OF
course, varies greatly not merely in
relation TO the physical -haracteris-
TICS Of the areas through which they
run but especially il the sums de-
nlandcd for right of way and the
land on which the roads arc built. Rail-
way construction III certain countries
OF Europe where the population was
already dense and lands and existing
buildings of an expensive character
: was extremely costly and in certain
OF the European countries which were
fully developed prior to the adycnt
OF the railway the cost Including the
right Of way and lana upon which
they were built brings the present es-
innate Of capital per mile t. from
$l50000 to $250,G00, while in the
new countries where railways pre-
ccdcd population the capital per mile
IS stated at less than half that in the
older ard already developed COM
munlties, averaging from $25,000 to
%5.000 per mile, as against $150000
to SZ500O0 in the more densely popu-
lated countries Of Europe.
Recent tabulatiors by the Bureau of
Railway Economies ana other high
authorities put the met capitalization
per mile Of the railroads Of the
United States 1T $68,787 while the
capital per mile in the European
countries (Which were already devel-
oped when railway construction oc-
currcd) is double and in some cases
treble that Of the United States. Tho
capital per mile Of the railways Of
France Exclusive of state raiivays)
is stated at $lS6,394, and the United
Kingdom $274605 In densely popu-
lated Japan the capital per mile is
set down at $111,l56, while in the
newer countries where railways pre-
ceded density of population the cost
is much lower, ranging from $248}o
in Western Australia to $60043 in
New Zealand, and $65,7l4 in Canada.
The total capitalization Of all the
railways of the world apparently ap-
proxlmates S7O,000,000,000 covering
the 10000 miles Of road, suggesting
an average cost of $4,000 per mile,
while as above suggested the cost per
mile IN the areas not yet developed
would, even at the present higher
prices, probably be materially below
the world average Of earlier years.

and stewardess are being recruited
under the direction of men long
familiar with this work.
Not only are the actual creature
comforts Of those travelling on the
Wonder Ship being carefully
planned for, but their amusement
as well. The spacious social hall
of the Leyiathan will be the scene
of many splendid balls and concerts.
Here, an orchestra, under the per.
sonal direction of Paul Whiteman,
win delight both devotees of
Terpischore, as we'll as those more
inclined to music of concert nature.
Games Of many descriptions popu-
lar on board ship, will also be
arranged for the entertainment of
passengers. A library is also in
both first and second cabins.
For those who are athletically in
clined. the huge steamship is equip
ped with two complete gymnasiums,
one in the first and one in the sec
ond cabin. First cabin passengers
will also be able to enjoy a plunge
in large swimming pool, which
when filled, holds 118 tons of water.
The walker, desiring to stretch his
or her legs, will find the promenade
deck ideal for a hike. This deck,
glass enclosed, has a circumference
Of 1,090 feet, and 4.8 turns about
it are equal to a miles walk.
The health of passengers will be
cared for by three doctors and high
ly trained hospital stewards. The
Leyiathan is equipped not only with
Accommodations for "a patients, but
a thoroughly modern operating
room as well. In addition there is
Americus times-recorder., 1923-05-08

Every conceivable convenience
has been installed. The staterooms
are equipped with hot and cold
running water throughout the yes
SCI, while all the higher priced
rooms have their own private baths.
Lights are operated from buttons
ct the head Of the beds-as are the
bells for summoning a steward or
stewardess. The furniture itself is
conducive to the rest and ease that
the American desires when travel
ing; soft, downy beds, roomy chairs
and lounges; well diffused lights,
tasteful draperies, appealing colors
on walls and ceilings, make the
Wonder Ship unique, an American
craft in every way.
The cuisine of the Leviathan
will be Of the same exceptionally
high grade which has always pre-
vailed upon the steamships of the
United States Lines. In the huge
kitchens of the vessel will be pre-
pared food worthy of the taste of
old King Tut-Ankh-Amen himself.
During one voyage the Leviathan
will consume SO tons of meat, %
tons of fish, tons of game birds,
about SO tons of poultry, 80 tons of
potatoes, 10 tons of other vege-
tables, 8 tons of sugar, tons Of
coffee and tea, 2 tons of ham, TX
tons of butter, SO tons of -four and
10 tons of jams. There will be
used 1926 quarts of milk, 1000
boxes of oranges, apples and other
fruits. and about $500 dozen eggs.
The highest standard of service
will prevail on the Leyiathan, and
already a small army Of stewards

ingenuity have made possible the
placing again in operation OF the
Leviathan, despite the claim Of the
skeptical that 1t could mot be done.
Wonder Vessel of the Seven
Seas, the Leviathan; reconditioned
and refitted at an expense of over
s8.500,000 will shortly hoist the
house flag Of the United States
Lines for operation in the North
Atlantic passenger service. Already
Americus times-recorder., 1923-05-08

products were grown and harvested
with only man power and transported
to the railway by the aid of horses
or oxen, which necessarily consumed
a considerable percentage Of the food

served and which could now be served
in large part by mechanical power.
Ra:lway development in recent
years has not kept pace with the. de

With. length over all of $50
feet, ga inches, breadth Of 100
feet and a gross tonnage of 1886,
the Leviathan can be likened, with
its accommodations for q total of
more tain 3,400 passengers, only to
a floating city, capable of being
driven through the seas at tre-
mendous speed by her huge oil
burning engines, which have
maximum of 100000 horse power.
These engines require for their
operation $500 tons of fuel oil for
trip. If the fuel bunkers this oil
occupies before use were filled with
gasoline it would run a fiivvel
26,321, 400 miles, and, at the rate
of 10000 miles a year it would take
a driver 263 years, 2 months and
Is days to exhaust the supply.
In the first cabin department of
the Leyiathan there are accomoda-
tions for 876 passengers; in the
second class for 548 and for the
third, the most comfortable section
Of its kind on any vessel, 1873. In
addition to being able to carry this
number of passenger, amounting in
all to 3,402 persons, the Leviathan
will carry a crew of 1,276, bringing
the total of souls which can easily
be Accommodated to 1874.
Walker and Gillett, of New York,
architects who for years have de-
signed and planned the arrange
ment of homes and furnishings for
leading citizens Of the country. have

population during the years in which
we were extending railways to the
interior Of the United States suggests
that fertile areas of the interior OF the
other continents would not long await
producers if they wers supplied with
facilities for moving their products
to the waters edge, and especially in
view Of the growing demand for food
and clothing materials in other parts
OF the world

With the return Of the Leviathan

the American Merchant Marine will
have taken another huge step for

GREAT AREAS STILL
TNDEVEL0PED

This question is answered by an
examination Of the accompanying
map showing the land and water
TRANSFORMATION facilities Of the world
and noting the enormous land areas
vet awaiting transportation facilities,
to enable them to send their possible
products to the waters edge where
now plentiful supply of steamships
will be available to carry them across
the ocean to the sections Of the world
which do not produce enough tor
their own requirements. 1t will be
seen that the interior areas of four
Of the six grand divisions of the
world South America, Africa. Asia
and Australia, are yet lacking in
railway facilities to enable them to
move their possible products to the
waters edge. The shipbuilding ac-
tivities of the war and the years which
Immediately followed II have given to
the world ample facilities for trans
porting merchandise on the oceans,
but railway construction has been
practically suspended since the be-
GINNING of the war and when we ex-
anime nine the maps of the continents
above named it is apparent that they
have within their respective interiors
en- enormous producing areas which
have no facilities for moving their
products mr. or possible products to the
waters edge.
South America, for instance, with
IN ares of z57O.000 square miles has
but i,ti 5000 miles Of railway while the
tinted In ed States with an area less than
Gaif that Of South America has 252,

PRODUCTIVE LANDS READY

VELOpMENT

Nor can it be argued that the ab-
sence of railways in the undeveloped
continents is due to a lack OF pro-
ducing power of their great interior
areas. South America has probably
less of what might be termed "des-
ert" land in proportion TO its total,
area than the United States had in
the early stages of its development,
and her mountain areas are in np
greater proportion than our own

New railways with which to reach
the interior Of the undcvelopcd sec
tions OF the globe will be demanded
by the consuming world in the I'M
mediate future, The number of

les WHICH must be clothed gees on in
creasing at an appalling speed. World
population, which was estimated at
780,000000 in 1920, was 1,230,0O0000
in 1920, having thus increased 1850
i'll the single century The actual in
crease in numbers in ne first twenty
years Of the century under Considcra-
ton was l70000000 and in the clos
ing twenty years of the century
287,0000O0, Notwithstanding the fact
that the recent twenty year period
includes the greatest war that the
world has ever known.
Should the present rate Of increase
continue the worlds population by
1850 would approximate 2,25O000,
600, or nearly 25%o more than at the
present time. When we find that the
present world production of the great

instance less than that of the years

States in area, has but one-tenth as

The comparative absence of rail
ways in the four grand divisions

denced by the fact that the number

the producing power of the popula-
