Vessel Must be Oipantic, Indeed, and
Well .Equipped to Outclass
Present Service.
Yet another bid for the blue riband
of the Atlantic! Hardly has the colossal
Cunarcler Lusitania left the slips than
the ilarnburg-American line 'announces
its determination to take up the chal-
lenge for supremacy. Not satisfied with
Weir mammoth Amerika and Kaiserin
Auguste Vieto'ria, the Germans are to
build a vessel which will exceed in size
and speed the Lusitania, at the present
the fastest, largest, and heaviest steam-
ship in the world, says the London Ex-
press.
xpress.
The Lusitania and Mauritania, sister
ships, each have a gross tonnage of
38,200, as against the Kaiserin's 25,000.
The next Hamburg -American must,
therefore, very greatly exceed the Kais-
crin in size and weight. She must be
aver 787 feet long and 88 feet broad.
tier speed will have to be over 25 knots,
her horsepower above 800,000, and she
must carry at least 3,200 passengers and
800 cre'iv.
A quarter of a century ago an expert
in the Engineers declared an ocean
speed of 25 miles an hour an impossi-
bility. But the Lusitania will steam
29% miles, and the forthcoming Ham -
.burg -American well over 80. Another
quarter of acentury and ocean speed
may have increased another 50 per cent.
'AMAZING FORECASTS.
Later experts have made amazing Lore -
casts. In the last thit'd of a. century
the tonnage of Atlantic liners increased
flvefold; if, therefore, their capacity
were to increase in like ratio during the
next third of a century, the largest
steamer in the year 1940 would be near-
ly 70,000 tons. Her corresponding di-
mensions would be: Length, 1,000 feet;
breadth, extreme, at upper deck, 120
feet; depth, 75 feet. The Lusitania's
length is 787 feat, breadth 88 feet, depth
60 feet.
This, however, is merely the modest
prognostication of a practical shipbuild-
er. H. G. Wells, dreamer and roman-
cer, might picture whole cities afloat by
1939.
We are told that the next Hamburg-
American will go one better 'in. the mat-
ter of luxury as well as size. She is to
be equipped with Turkish baths, and a
swimming tank for the use of passen-
gers.
But she will have to be a very
won-
derful creation indeed if she is to excel
existing liners in luxury of accommo-
1 dation. Shipowners vie eagerly with;
each other in providing accessories to
passengers' comfort, as a survey of their
recent announcements will show.
Handsomely fitted gymnasia are the
latest allurements. The Hamburg -Am-
ericans have them, of course, so have
the B.M.S.P. Aragon and the North Ger-
man liner Prinz Eitel Friedrich. The
gym on the last-named is 25 feet long,
12i feet wide and fifteen feet high. It
contains.. aneelligeccu 0' S YLi5El e3e"ckri-
i cal health machines.
A PLAYGROUND FOR CHILDREN
is a feature of the C.P.R. company's
Empress of Ireland. An incitation beach
composed of Clyde sand is constructed'
en the upper deck and here juvenile
passengers may shovel and build sand
castles all day long. The vessel also
has a nursery, well stocked with toys.
Ocean libraries have not been too well
stocked heretofore and the companies
are beginning to give better considera-
tion to this department. The Cunard
line has just undertaken to provide pas-
sengers with first-rate service of books,
the volumes being renewed after each
voyage in order to include the newest
and most important works of the day.
The catering system is being revised
in a somewhat remarkable way. On
the newest Hamburg -Americans
meal
meals
are now served ala carte. Passengers
may take tickets to include the custo-
mary dining -saloon meals, or they may
],c liberty with the 1 e rt
y of using the res-
taurant when and as they please.
The Amerila's a la carte restaurant
is on the sixth deck, and its accommo-
dates 120 persons. This is in addition
tr the main dining -room, where 400 per-
sons may take the usual table d'liote
service. The Kaiserin's a lacarte res-
taurant, adapted for 140 people, is the
largest afloat.
Bathing facilities on Atlantic liners
have been considerably improved of
late. The Kai.serin has well -furnished
suites of apartments connecting with
private hath and toilet -rooms, while
many single rooms have their own
baths. The Amerika has luxurious elec-
tric and hydropathic baths, attended by
professional masseurs. On the Car -
mania even the steerage has its own
needle and shower baths.
A GREAT NOVELTY.
aboard the I(aiserin is the palm -court
and garden, a delightful lounge where
afternoon tea is served and where the
surroundings all tenet to realize the at-
mosphere of a palmarium in a London
hotel.
The invention of evireless telegraphy
f., revolutionizing the amenities of ocean
travel. A Marconi installation
of
the.
most up-to-date type is a feature of the
Amerika and the Cunard boats publish
n "Marconi daily newspaper." Liners
converse with each other by wireless
many miles apart in mid-Atlantic, antl
keep in touch with the share from 'Liv-
erpool to Sandy klook, receiving daily
all the current news from hoih shores.
Thus the fear of disaster is lessened, for
assistance may be silrnmoned from con-
sideratble distances, while the facfiilies
for social and business intercourse are
immeasurably increased.
Electricity, indeed, has worked won-
ders in the development of the ocean

ANTS CAPTURE A TOWN.
Millions of the Insects Put Englishmen.
to Rout.
At Sandwich, England, what is de-
scribed as resembling a black thunder-
cloud advanced out 'of a fog which
overhung the sea on. a regent afternoon,.
and crossing the sand hills spread over
the town and then descended. The
cloud proved to consist of millions of
winged ants. Pedestrians covered their
heads with handkerchiefs and fled pre-
cipitately into shops and houses. while
thousonds of the insects covered horses
and vehicles in the street. The River
Stour was covered with a thick black
layer. Later the visitation continued
toward Beal and Ramsgate.
London is suffering from a plague of
mosquitoes and from iialesclen in the
north to Wimbledon in the .south there
are complaints of their ravages: Phy-
sicians 'n all parts have been consulted
by persons sunering from septic poison-
ing
oisoning caused by bites. •
South Kensington's residents .. who
have. suffered severely suggested that.
the pest had been imported in gases
arriving at the museum from various
parts of the globe, but entomolygists
discredit the theory. According to one
authority, there are twenty-five known
species of the family which can live in
the British climate and some have the
disagreeable characteristics of the for-
eign mosquito. •

TEETHING TIME.
Every, mother dreads that period in
her baby's life known as teething time.
The little gums are swollen, inflamed
and tender; the child suffers greatly,
and is so cross and irritable that the
whole household is on. edge. All this
is changed in homes where 13aby's Own
Tablets are used. This medicine allays
the inflammation, softens the swollen,
tender gums, brings the teeth through
painlessly. In proof Mrs. W. C. McCay,
Denbigh, Ont., says: "I have found
Baby's Own Tablets a splendid medi-
cine at teething time. My baby was
very sick at that tate, was cross, rest
less and had no appetite. • After giv-
ing her the Tablets there was a marked
improvement, and in the course of a
few days she was not like the same
child. The Tablets are just the medi-
cine to help little ones over the trying
teething time." You can get Baby's
Own Tablets from any druggist or by
mail at 25 cents a box by writing The

DOGGEIR BANK CRiME.
To be Retold in Letters of an Engineer
of the Fleet.
Letters written to his wife in diary
form by a M. Politvsky, Chief Engineer
of Admiral Rojestvensky's .fleet, are
about to be published through ari Eng-
lish. translation with a London imprint.
The letters dealing with the Russian at-
tack upon the defenseless Hull fisher-
men on the morning of October 22, 1904,
throw such a strong light upon the corn -
mission's report on . the Dogger Bank
outrage that it is not strange that M.
Politovsky, who finally met his death.
in the battle of Tsushima, was not call-
ed upon to testify.
The report states that at 1 o'clock in
the morning a x< suspicious .vessel was
observed from the Suvaroff, which bore.
every 'appearance of being a torpedo
boat. Of this incident M, Politvsky
wrote:
"A small fishing vessel was tossing
helplessly on the seal We saw her quite
distinctly, the black and red of her sides,
her single funnel and the bridge, but
nobody was on deck; panic-stricken, all
had probably taken refuge below. The
unhappy vessel had been the target for
the concentrated fire of our guns. I
matched our shells explode. * The
whole world will now ring with this
shameful outrage."
Concerning the fate of the Russian
vessel Aurora he wrote:—
"A terrible incident has just been re-
ported from the. Aurora; her hull has
been pierced- above water line in four
different places, her funnels are riddled,
the chaplain is 'severely • and her com-
mander slightly wounded. The Aurora
had evidently drawn the fire of our
squadron. In company with the Don-
snoy. she was tar, away in the distance,
our order of advance being in division
of six. In the confusion of the firing
somebody evidently mistook"her for a
Tapanese ship, and brought the six-inch
guns to bear on ter—she was at a. great
distance."
M. Politaysky added that "permission
has been asked to make for the nearest
port to convey flim (the :chaplain; lo a
h s ttal .blit the' acheiral
tl has refused
,d
p s
this."
