The grant increase in the size and Lively senger capacity of the modern Atlantic lines is forcibly exemplified in the return of passengers landed at the port of New York by the various steamship lines us reviewed by Engineering. - Ten years ago it was rare to have any ship debarking ono thousand passagers, and the highest aver age per ship of any line in 1893 was that of the White Star Linc, with 797 passengers of all classes. Even as late as 1500 there was not a very great increase either in the maximum in one ship or in the average of any line; the White Star again took the first place in that year with 886 passengers. In the following year the North German Lloyd stepped ahead of all Average of 1130 the others, with passengers. In 1902 there were only two ¿cases of averages exceeding the thousand, the North German Lloyd being first

Soran consolation, however, is found in the fact that our position, so far as cabin pas. sengers are concerned, is a little more satisfactory. Taking the average of first- saloon passengers per ship the North Ger- man Lloyd tessels again take first place with 153, and if 10 this be added the aver age of second class passengers, we have a total of 362 per ship for cabin passengers, which is very much higher than in previous The highest average in 1902, also yours.
