By working day and night, and Sunday also, the builders of the newest, fastest, and most i luxurious ocean liner ever planned hopeta, gat the Luritania ready to go down to the Tail of the Bank ou June, 29.
Astonishing secrecy is baing maintained in Glasgow and on the Clyde about the interior arrangements of the wonderful boat, " The secrecy is ascribed in, part to the folly Jest rival companies should learn too much," "afioto the fact that on the stocks near her lles ibe new turbing fruiter the Inflexible, la ba launched on June 26, and now guarded day and night'by armed men.

removed from the minds of her builders and owners. The task of moving the vessel, which' is 785 feet long, down the narrow ̈river-a matter of fourteen miles-will be tremendowa, For her bonefit the river is now being dredged in places, but even so she is expected to go ajround.
יי
In addition to the anxiety about getting tha Lusitania to the sea, the builders and engineers are faced with a problem of great importance in connexion with her propulsion... Recent experiences with turbine propelled brats have lad to the belief that the strain upon the four propellers of the Zusifunia will prova a very aeridus matter when this ship, with its gross tonnage of 37,500, is forced at twenty. five knots an hour through the water. The action of the turbines will tend to keep this huge bulk down in the water, thus prevent- ing pitching, but putting at the same time an immense stress on the propellers To safe guard against mishap to the latter is now the problem worrying the engineers. They hopa to overcome it by altering the pitch of the pro- pellers before the ship goes on her trials.
