And remember that, as ships are rated nowadays, elleMauretania, which mamadeher first run in 1907, has become a compara- tively moderate-sized liner, _ Her 33,000 tons are surpaeeed by the Olympic's 45,000 tans, and the Olympic, in turn, has been sur- passed by the Heroburg-Amerioan Lime's giant In1perator• of 50,000 tans.

I•n tracing the development of ocean steamships; et is interesting to recall the vague ambitions of the designers and builders in the 'first generation of steamship men. They were far ahead of their day—or, to speak more accurately, they were far ahead of their engines. Several times you will comb ,across a sue - den jump in tonnage in some par- ticula•r vessel, a jump which was not bettered for ten Ar twenty years af- terward. That meant that the ship in question proved a white , ele- phant, too expensive to be profita- ble, or too bulky to be efficient. The Great Eastern, of course, is the most famous of the marine white elephants. She wee 690 feet long, land it was not until a decade or so age that her bulk was sur- passed. The trouble with her Was that, at that time, there were not engines of 'suff_cient power to pro- pel her at a speed that would make hos wovyth running, and ,she was so enormous and teeming: arrange- meets were then ser primitive that she was difficult to handle: But in many way's she was one of the best- constructet] ships that ever put to sea, end : she had a double skin which once saved her from sinking, when her side was pierced—this labs bier an improvemenk which marine engineers neglected for flew yeses, until the Titanic disaster taught diem a much-needed lesson. Other 01d Steamers. Going over another lest of odd Sibeatmiships, we ooans upon the Per- sia, of the Canard Line, which started running in 1855. Between the Britannia mad the Persia, the Cunard fleet showed small increases in either tonnage or horse -power, In 1843 the Hibernia and Cambria were rent 'to. sea, each with a ton- nage of 1,422 and a horse -power of 1,040, Then carne the American anise in 1848. These vessels were of 1,825 tons and 2,000 horsepower. It will be noted that the develop- ewIt fn „horse -power had fee out- d.sta•n•oed the inoaease in tonnage in the intervening eight years. And j1 -ally the same entmo of in.- (neve •n.area.. wan maintained in the Asia aaicl A frica, planted in service 1850. They were u•t 2,225 tons 'amid 2,400 .;horse -power„ The Arabia, which followed them in 1825, was simply an improvement upon them, eilb a tonnage of 2,402 aqui, a horse- power of 3,250. There was e radical increase in tl Persia, which was quite a colos- sus for those days, being of 3,300 eors and 4400 noise• -power ltton 1,0 this, she weal nearly's h.ula- deed feet Langer than the vessoTs which had preeedee herr. The Seo- tea, which follo'tr'ed the Persia in. 1862, was practically a' sister drip. But thereaafter, until 1874, the Cu- need Line found it profitable to build vessels much smaller than either' the• P'ereite oe the Scotia, The Bothnia . and •Scetela; • which macre ewe- •first runs in 1874, were only .a. ;iihopssnd t `ns larger .th-e fee Scottie, and were a knot slo't'cr, The A1141100 flreyhounds. It WAS in the seventies that the modern ocean liner, the "grey- hound of the :Atlantic," as it was called, really began to Dome into its own. Modern engineering was be- ginning to • solve the problem of combining weight an'd speed, and the development of creature -eerie forts ashore was cleating 55 clement] for increased comforts, afloat, The Cunard Line in 1881 put in service She Sercia., whieih was a :record- rnaker an hew. taste --;7,392 tons,, 9,000 horse -power, 815 feet long. After tut•er, for ten year's, smaller vessels were built, bust in 1890 the begin- nings of the :preemie Cunard fleet were zi.11 the conlsertiction of the Iver'atia and Saxonia, which are still duh eerviee, They are of 14,000 tons, but were not intended, for speed. Mho Campania and L' ueenia, which went into service in 1893, ,ware con- apiouous as the first expresssteene ships than combined great size, for their day, with speed, Of 13,000 tons, they developed 26,000 horse- power, and made 22 knots an hour. They were the •senisa•tesit furnished boasts afloat in their time, and some people tstill'thsnk that Iho public sa- loons of the Campania have never been improved upon. Her smoking- room. mokingroom. was one of the Cosiest and. haindraonrest rooms afloat. The Lu- cania was burned ab her dock some years ego, and ]ester sold for junk, and the Campania is 50 be sold off this summer. Her peeping will be a real ocean tragedy. Long and .slim, with a single huge, raking funnel, she used to peek like a. big torpedo boat as she swathed through the North Atlanic rollers, steady as a clock to the end. With- al she was a good sea boat for her size, and more comfortable than =ay newer ones. Recent Developmentss. It is in the last ten yee,rs that the big developments in point of ton- nage have been made. As far as speed is concerned, the Mauretania is good for only ferrite knots more than the Campania at her best, but she is eonsiderabiy more than twice the older boat's size. And the de- velopments in the fleets of other lines have more or less paralleled the Cunard Line. As has been said, the L' usitenia and Mauretania are no longer big by comparison with the giants placed in commission by the German lines and, the White Star, although the new Aquitaatia will be the peer of any of the later monsters. There is an indisputa- ble tendency, nowadays, towards ships of 40,000 tons or more and moderate spied,'wide large passeie- ger-easrying capacity. A typical recent instance is the Columbus, of the North German Lloyd, which will make her madden trip late this conning summer. She is of 37,000 registered tonnage, 42,- 000 tons' displacement, and 20 knots speed. In addition to all the'edher modern innprevemeants of ocean era- vel—palm-rooms, gymnasiums, nur- series, tennis courts, etc,—she have electrically propelled deck chairs, such as are Sawed at seaside re•sarts, for the use of passengers who do not ogre eo tramp on their promenade. The big ship of the future will peob.ably be a itliousand feet long or longer, 60,000 tons displacement;, and, beyond question, will contain an autonhobile speedway. VANITY IN ARMY OFFICERS. A Woman Who Changed the Dress of a Regimehit. • . Lady Mester Lucy Stanhope, when staying at Walmer 'Castle in 1804, quite unwittingly accomplish- ed the feat of ehasiging the uniform of a regilient of the county militia. The anecdote, which illustrates a curious streak of vanity in old-time army officers, appears in an aeeount of Lady Stanhope's life by Mr.• Frank Hamel. Somebody asked me before a -great many officers what I thought of them, said Lady Stanhope, and I said that they looked like so many tinned harlequins., One, day, soon after, I was' r'icling through Weimer village, when wee ehould pop out upon me but the colonel, dressed in entirely new regimentals, with die ferule facings; more like those of a regimregiment of the line. ent pardon me, Lady Hes ter," he began, So I stopped; and he addressed nie.

When and flow the St. Lawrence River Was Born. What, is 4he oldest river in the world 1 The St, Lawrence. le e: also one of the fess rivet;s that did not have to hake its own bed, and lee remained ancltanged sines the very beginning of the Anxsricen eon tine 05, Try :to think of at time when the earth was severed by a plass of pa. - ter, lrot•, steaming, and often •are- mendously disturbed by the throes of o, globe beneath it that was shrinking because it was becoming cooler. As the globe shrunk, every particle of the outside was natur- ally pulled in toward the centre, and the hardening cruet, which oouid not be pecked any more sol- idly than it was, had to wrinkle, sinking down here, and bulging up somewhere cine. After a time, cer- tain of these rising wrinkles, or fo,lda, the thicker, or firmer, parts of the earth's crust, stood the strain, and became permanent ridges. The oldest of them that geologists know, and apparently the first that bulged up above the uni- versal ocean and remained high and dry, rtes the broad mass on which Canada naw rests. It is a part of the original crust of the earth, and we can see it to -day, wherever it is not covered by newer rocks or soil, just as it crystallized and eooledi out of the primeval molten material, 'Phis mare formed a broad V from Labrador down to Lake Huron, and thence northwestward 10 Alaska.; on account of its shape, geologists call it tee Canadian Shield, It is the oldest land known, and apparently the strongest, for there are no signs of any extensive changes in it (ex- cept the wearing away of the sur- face) since it first rolled the ocean off its shoulders. Off the eastern coast of this primitive continent lay a chain of lofty islands, about on the line of the Blue Ridge, the White Moun- tains, the Maine coast and Nova Scotia. Between these islands end the mainland was a trough-like space that ran frown eastern Que- bec southwestward to Ohio. It was two or three hundred miles wide, and filled with a shallow sea; and just outside the island chain was FOR MAKING SOAP SOFTENING WATER DISINFECTING CLOSETS,DRAINS' SINKS, %.' :) the soft rocks were set on edge, overturned and splintered against the solid continent. Very early in the struggle a great fracture of the earth's crust occurred here along a curving northeast and southwest line: It left a deep and broad trench between the crushed and displaced rocks of the trough and the granite shore of the Canadian Shield. Into this trench rushed all the interior waters of the continent, draining away to the sea, and the St. Lawrence River was born I There, no doubt, it will remain es the great hollow that held the At- long as the earth keeps its present lantic Ocean, form. At that time there was no Gulf of St. Lawrence. The land extended out to a toast line that stretched unbroken from Nova Soota•a to Lab- raxlor. The present gulf is the re- sult of a sinking of the coast region. Mast of it is very shallow, but a chart of soundings shows the an- cient river bed as, a channel laird ing out between Newfoundland and Cape Breton to the deep ocean Time went on. For ages the straining and cracking of the shrinking globe, earthquakes, sun and frost, pounding surf, running water, blowing gales, ice—all labor- ed to tear down the mountains and carry the wreckage of reeks and dust away into the valleys and seas. In this way vast masses of rock, in layers of shales, sandstones, and what not, were laid down in that narrow trough-like sea between the chain of islands and the continent. .9.11 theses "sedimentary" rocks were soft and week, as compared with the solid old granites deeply rooted on either side of them.; and the trough itself, it sagging fold, was a line of weakness in the crust. As the load of deposits became. heavier and heavier and heavier, the floor of this trough slowly yielded, and es it sank toward the heated region below; the under side melted, and grew thinner and thinner. Thatcould not go on -forever, and soon the continual ahsinkin'g of the globe and the enormous pressure of the .weight of the ocean became it resistible. The Canadian Shield was immovable, so the rock in the though began to bulge or crumple all along its length. Gradually, not all at. once, but by slow end varying movements, those Toads were squeezed up, wSieoh in their broken and worn-down form, we know as the Appalachian Moun- tains. Toward the south there was room for this action to be rather gentle and regular, but in the far north- east the trough was narrow; and INFORMATION FOR INVENTORS Messrs, Pigeon, Pigeon & Davis, the patent solicitors of 71A St. James Street, Montreal, report that 115 Canadian patents were issued for the week ending May 5th, 19141 80 of which were granted to Ameneans, 16 to Comedians, 12 to residents of foreign countries and 7 to residents of Great Britain and Colonies.

Gulick, American' missionary, who lived for 27 years in Japan, has this to say of ":f9ie Yellow Peril and the White" The Yellow Peril. Asia is a sleeping gsaaht," said Napoleon, "let her slecp, for when she awakens she will shake the world." Asia is awaking. She is mastering western science and arm- ing herself with western bayonets and battleships. When fully awake, ar¢rned, equipped and united, whab will 'be her attitude to Christen- dom a At the point of the bayonet will she demand open doors for her emigrants, equal treatee ent with' the "•most favored hations" ? Will she contest the present supremvsay of the white race? This is the milt. they "Yellow Peril" which many are now foretelling. But the white map's economic su- premacy is also threatened, say She prophets. When Asia masters our science and develops her own indus- trial system on western lines, she will not only manufacture her own wares but our also, at prices with which we cannot compete. Our trade will be lost, our entire indus- trial system ruined, our working classes reduced to starvation. In • a word, the teeming millions of Asia will pull Christendom down to her own low level. Black indeed are the clouds hang ing over the west --if the prophets speak truly. Asia looks on the other side of the shield. She sees how the white race has for 400 years been sweep- ing over the earth, ruthlessly des- troying the peoples, seizing their lands, exploiting their wealth. To escape the .White Peril Japan shut up her land two hundredd and fifty years.No longer able to keep out the white man, she has adopted a new poliey with which to meet the white peril; namely, mastery of the white inan's knowledge and requi- sition of his power. The white peril in the Orient hat bean, not only military and econo- mic, but civiliized, inaral and reli- gious, To cope with the white Cean Japan has had to undergo complete reorganization of her national life, alike painful and 'humiliating. China is now starting om the same process. How Japan feels. If you want to see how Japan feels on this question listen to this utterance of Professor Nagai in hie recent article on the "White Peril" : If one race assumes the right to appropi'ieite all the wealth, why should not the other races feel ill ' used, and preterit? If the yellow races are pr'esscd by the white races . and have to ray•odt to avoid con- gestion and . maintain existence, whose fault is it but the aggres- sor's? 15 the white races truly love peace and wish to deserve the name of Christian nations they will prac- tice what they preach, ,and will soon restore to us the rights so long withheld, They will rise to the generosity of welcoming our citizens among them as heartily es we do theirs among us. We appeal 50 the white races to put aside their raoe prejudice and meet us on equal terms in brotherly eo-operation." Causes Indignntion.
