A. GLINT STEAMSHIP.
New Cunard Liner A quit:tido Ifits
Inner and Outer Shells.
The new giant Cunard line steam
ship the Agnitania, which is now be-
ing-
rapidly prepared for sea, having
been launched on .April 21, 1913
from the -yard of the builders,
lHessrs. John Brown & Co., Clyde-
bank, Glasgow, Scotland, combines
in her design and construction the
experience and invaleable informa-
tion deduced from the oonetenotion
and performances of the Lusitania
and the Mauretania and the many
other famous ships •that have pre-
ceded her under the Cunard flag.
Each succeeding vessel built for
the company during the seventy-
three years of its existence has la
one way or another marked an ad-
vance :on its immediate predecessor.
The principal figures of the Agnit-
ania, according to information sup-
plied by the Cunard Steamship
Cempany, are- :-Length, 901 feet ;
brea,c1th, 07 feet; depth to boat
clock, 92 feet 0 inches; gross ton-
nage, 47,000 tons; speed, 23 knots;
aceommodation for 3,200 passengers
and a crew of nearly 1,000.
The unprecedented weight,
length and other striking features
of the great steamship involved the
consideration of unusual conditions,
ancl, like 'everything else connected
with the construction demanded ar-
rangements being made on a scale
of magnitude never before.required
by the Clyde.
An inaportant feature of the Aqui-
tania, as in the Lusitania and Mau-
retania, is that extending through-
-0mb the most valnerable parts there
is that great desideratum, a ship
within a ship., In other words,
there are two -shells, the inner as
well as the outer .shell being water-
tight.
The specie between the outer and
inner skins averages about fifteen
feet, and at shdet inthrvals there
are bulkheads dividing this inter-
vening space into relatively small
eamportments„' It will be under-
stood, therefore, that any fracture
on the outer ehell clue to collision
will result in the ingress of the sea
being limited to a small alma at the
side of the ship. In addition to this
important prevision there are six-
te,en bulklie,ads extending athwart -
ship from the port to starboard side,
It might be thouglit that this
eombined system of transverse and
longitudinal watertight subdivision
was in ithelf sufficient safeguard
against flooding, but further pro -
Nemo. has laeen ma -de by the devel-
opment of the system of fitting wa-
tertight clecics which was introcluee,d I
into the construction of -the Zits'- 1
tania, and the Mauretania.
- From the point of view of
strength, therefore, the 11 quitania
minbodies the main features of the
Eusitania and the Mauretania, with
additions eonsequent upon increas-
ed beam a,nd length. The , Acm
Ilia is also fitted with Frahm's anti;
rollingita,nks, -which have 'proved 81
uceessful on the 'Laconia.
The passenger accommedation is
rovicled on a scale commensurate
ith -the great silo Of the ship. The

few weeks ago workman en-

tall building at Springfield, Masso
dislocated his shoulder. ' It was im-
possible to bring him clown, so a
surgeon climbed up, and, coolly sits
ting astride a girder, hundreds of
feet above the crowded street, pro-
teeded to chloreform the injured
man and reduce the dislocation.
To the ma.n in the street the skill
of the surg-eon is always something
of a miracle. To carve living flesh
with steady hand and sere eye, to
seeure each streaming vein, to re-
move diseased organs, and then to
mend up the wound so perfectly
that ha,rdly a sear remains, seems
to hint to require almost superhu-
man skill.
• Snprone Test.
And there 11 no doubt but that a
big operation calls for the very
highest qualities that man posses_
808. Even an the perfectly lit and
perfectly appointed operating thea-
tres of a great hospital, with e00e13'
possible aid ht hand that modern
science commands, the task is Ft
severe one,
Yet often and often the surgeon
is called 1113011 tO perform opera-
tions widiout any such aids and
then the ordeal may he almor:t as
severe for doctor as it is for pa-
tient.
For instance, in a railway acci-
dent. One raw winter morning,
two years age, a passenger alight-
ing in a hurry from a, train at
the little station of Earlestown,
near Warrington, slipped and fell
between the still moving train and
the platform.
A doctor, summoned in haste,
found that the only possible meth-
od of extricating the unfortunate
man was to amputate one of his
legs.
Instruments were fetched, and as
it was not yet daylight, a ring of
porters ethocl round with station
lanterns, while •other persons
struck matches to assist the sur-
geon.
'What made the horrible business
more terrible was the fact that 11
was impossible to give the injured
man chloroform. He renaained con-
scious all through the operation.
In spite of the cramped position
in which the surgeon was compelled

quickly and .successfully finished,

Often in ,war time strgeons have
Wail to operate on the battlefield,
sometimes actually under fire. But
it was. under fire cif a different sort
that two doctors pert:armed an op-
eration at the hospital at Bidde-
ford, in the State of Maine. The
•eperation was to remove an inter-
nal ulcer, but five minutes after
they liad begun it was discovered
that the hospital was afire. .
To meve the patient was to kill
her. The surgeons stuck to their
work. The roar of flames was
plainly heard, anti the hiss of water
from the fire hose. Presently wa-
ter began th pour through the roof
and pieties of wet plaster to fall
thudding to the floor. The nurses
put up umbrellas and held them
over the patient and the doctors.
No one dreamed of moving until
all was finished and the wound
sewn up, hen the patient was re-
moved to a place of safety.
