' -First Built .10C Years Ago. • '
•
At Mat built of wood, . they were
Very primitive in character. What is
declared to bca, the tether- of .theise..
Structures was the quaint, wooden,
barge -shaped edifice invented by one.
C. Watson'of which.type a print is
still extant, showing such a dock lift-
ing the brig Mercury at Rotherhithe,
Just over a hundred years ago. Still,
it was not until .the end 'of the nine-
teenth 'century that the advantages of
the floating dociabecame generally re-
cognized. Indeed, so late as the year
1897 there were only lafloating docks
In existence, whereas"to-day there are
over 400, with, It is estimated, a total
lifting capacity of half a million tons.
Half -of the dry docks to be found in
the United States and also in Germany
and Holland, are of the floating type.
The most powerful we have in Great
Britaia is that built by Messrs. Swan,
Hunter and Wigham Richardson, of
Wallsend-on-Tyzie, for the British Ad-
miralty, and now stationed in the Med-
way. It has a lifting capacity of 33,000
tons.
Can Lift Imperatore
It is at the Vulcan shipyards, In
Germany, that we flnd the most power-
ful of these craft, the floating .dock
there having a lifting capacity of ao
less than 46,000 -tons. We get an idea
of her Immense strength when it Is
stated she raised the Imperator clean
out of the water, the largest and
heaviest of liners. This vessel has a
length of 920 feet, a breadth of 98 feet,
a height of 96 feet, and a displacement
of over 50,008 tons.
The .comparatively recent sudden
rise in popularity of floating docks IS
due to the rapidity with which they.
can be bath, their small cost compared
with a graving dock, and their wonder-
ful mobility. Whereas a floating dock
capable of lifting a modern linea or
battleship would cost about 81,000,000,
a graving dock .would demand an ex-
penditure of mere than double this
sum. Then the former could. be built
in a few Months, whereas a masonry
structure would take at least three or
four years to construct. .
At Wallsend a floating dock of 11,-
000 -ten lifting capacity was completed
within eight months of signing the
contract. TJnlike the fixed structure,
the floating dock has the whole world
'Before it, and should trade desert one
port for another, it can'easily be trans-
ferred, while ;the graving dock would
remain Idle,
Twa Distinct Types.
There are two distinct types of
these strange Craft—the box dock and
the self -docking pattern. The first-
narned.:is perfectly rigid, and there -
:fore the stronger of the two. Should
it become necessary to clean or repair
the under -water portions, it has to be
placed in a dry dock. The self -look-
ing type, on the other hand, is so de-
signed that It can lift portions of itself
out of the water, where they can be
cleaned or repaired.
These floating cradles may be said
to resemble a huge -box without eads
or top. The bottom consists of a tank
or pontoon, or several pontoons se-
curely fastened together; and itis by
filling these pontoons with water that
the dock is sunk sufficiently to enable
O ship which requires docking to be
floated over the pontoons.
•The :vessel, is, then •hauled in be-
tween the walls of the dock by caps-
tans fitted, on the tops of the walls.
By powerful -pumping machinery, lo-
cated in' the dock walls, the water is
removed •from the pontoons, and, as
they are emptied, the dock rises gra-
dually until the ship is lifted clear of
the water. While in the dock the ship
rests on keel blocks, and is further
supported by mechanical side -shores.
680 Feet Long.
A description of the Admiralty dock
in the Medway, which is of tbe box
type, will give an idea of the wonders
and capabilities of these floating con-
trivances.' 'at has a total length a 680
feet, and consists of five parts, name-
ly, three large pontoons and two side
walls. • These latter are 154, feet
thick, and have a height of over 60
feet. The dock has an entrance width
of 113 feet, and a total width of 144
feet. The pontoons are divided into
no less than sixty divisions. Running
into each oa.these is a pipe and a
valve, controlled:Ivan a central posi-
tion, Icaowa as the valve house. Stand--
ing•there, the 'dockmaster knows exact-
ly What ye:Ives are open'and which are
shut; and can regulate the descent and
ascent -at his craft acceraingly. •
The dock is lighted throughout with
eleetricity. It posaessesseveral pow-
erful arc lamps for u'se when docking
or working:on a ship at night. There
are also special aarangethents to facili-
tate the, use of electric,. hand -lamps,
On each wall there is a miniature rail-
way, on which rues a travelling crane,
capable of lifting a weight ,of several
Sons. In the walls, too, are the living
and sleeping quarters 'of the crew

autheaticity of some of the episodes
of the "Jimmysaga," as Ono stu-
dent ealted it, is not beyond ques-
tion, but people who know the pro-
fessor will say that all the incidents
related of him might conceivably
be true,
Tale of the Trousers.
There is, for instance the tale of
the trousers, Prof. Mayor, like a
good many other men of deen learn-
ing, is an illustration of the theory
that men are well dressed or not in
inverse ratio to their mental capa-
city. Ono day he happened to fin-
ish the solution of a different pro-
blem when just opposite a tailor's
shop. Be mime out of his abstrac-
tion for a moment saw "Exclusive
Trouseringe" advertised, looked
down at las own nether garments,
saey that they were beginning to
exhibit signs of antiquity and walk-
ed in to the tailor's shop to order
a new pair. In due time the new
trousers arrived home. The next
morning the professor donned the
new garments, and left the old ones
over the chair. He departed to
deliver a lecture at college. A
member of the family came into the
professor's room and observed the
garmerits. A hurried' rush • to the
phone ensued, and the folkwing
conversation took place :
"Hello! Is that the main build-
ing of the university? Could you
pkase hurry and find Prof Nfavor ?"
"Is anything wrong at his
house?" came the reply.
"Oh no I But hurry! Is his ap-
pearance unusual?"
"Haven't heard of it. Why?"
"Because his pante are here, and
we are afriad that—"
Not at Home.
On another occasion so the legend
runs, Prof. Mayor was having a
long discussion with Prof. Fletcher
at the latter'S house. He walked
home in the early hours of the morn,
ing, aral 'found that he hacl, as
ueual. forgotten his latchkey. Be

or gave the -air a tongue., Now, in
the new wender—the Marconi-Bel-
Systein--bas been added,
literally, a wireless eye. The new
device is Classifiedas a , "direction
fender.' • Its duty is to seek out all
wireless stations whether station-
ary or in motion—or in other words,
on coast line or high seas, within a
radius of fifty miles, and' to indi-
cate for the guidance ,of the Davi-
gating officers the exact relation of
the ship to these in terneseelelatitude
and longitude. Its she of 'use-
fulness, even in the present experi-
mental stage, is to 'assist the cape
fain during "thick" weather, in
maintaining a clear course in the
travelled ocean "lanes,". in 'passing
points, and in making port.
Teikie many inventions useful to
mankind this wireless finder is re-
markable " simplicity.. Al-

Signor Tmilio %Teleino, came out on

aii expert, and any of the bri.citge of-
ficers can obtain a bearing as eas-
ily as with a Compass and just as
eonvenientlY, the instruments be-
ing set up in the chart room.
Both the Marconi engineer, Sig-
nor Mmilio Ichimo, and the Captain'
df the "Royal' George," expressed
themselves on arrival at Quebec as
highly pleased with the experiments
which had been Made on the voy-
age. The instrument had been ac-
curate to a degree in detecting the
compass direction of other sta-
tions whether on shore or on ether
vessels. They had been able fo
certain the compass position of
Oape Raee Cape Ray, Father Point
and the ships 'Columbia, Oalgarian
and Sicilian. The Columbia had
been 68 miles away, the Calgarian
53 and the Sicilian 18. Both men
were Confident that neither wind,
wave or fog would affect the accu-
racy of the new wireless device.
The 'Canadian Northern, since the
inauguration of its Atlantic steam-
ship service, has established a re-
putation for ekperimentation 'with
new ideas civic-Lila:bed to improve
ocean uavigation. It was first to
employ a "relay" of operators 'to
sec are continuous wireless 'service.
Later it enabled Professor Barnes
of 1VIcGill, Montreal, to test his de-
vice for the detection of ice at SM.
Since that time one of its captains
has conceived and developed a, high-
ly efficient device for the launching
of small boats .at sea. Now it is the

The well-known English physi-
cian Dr. Lestler, was in his yoath
nefariously wild—and as clever as
he wee unruly.
One day the schoolmaster kept
young Lestler after selmol, and
talked long, and earnest], upon the
error of his ways. The,lad showed
little interest, and at last the mas-
ter said, sternly-, "Young man, I
shall send a note to your father,
and have him call a:it-1 see me."
"Oh, don't ,cici that," said the
bey.
Bub Ilit master repeated "Yes, I
will. Your father shall cbine anti
eee me to -morrow,"
"1 .advise you riot to," replied
the mischievous voothe
"But why nob?" asked the teach-
es'.
"Because my father charges five
shillings for a visit." Young Lest -
let's father was a physician.
