A bow of this character would probably. have the same action as the bow of an icebreaker, which slides up on the ice owing to the momen- tom of the vessel, and then the great weight of the vessel bearing down upon the ice breaks it, This would probably be" what would happen in the osse of a collision, and the falling back of the vessel to the horizontal would Nov, not only cleave the hole deeper Dec. below the water-line, but "would, Dec. by its orusbing action, distort the Jan. plates for a considerable dist ce

This bow, in the event. of a collision, would crumble back on itself, offering jast ecough, resistance to absorb the momentum of the vessel in s similar way to those buffers which are fitted in some terminal

This might well be done by a judicious disposition of the mate- rial, avciding all horizontal stiffening to the shell, with the exception of the necessary decks. According to the arrangement in mind, the bar stem would be omitted, and its place taken by a flanged plate or a channel. As the blows of the waves are normal to the surface of the shell, then the frames would be canted so 18 to lie in planes normal to the ehell plating; the frames would then be so dispose that they would fold, back on themselves with just, sufficient reluctance Proposed Steamship Service fram

As the result of an exhaustive inquiry carried out by Mr. H. Grigg, Canadian Commit- sioner of Commerce, in regard to the possibilities of trade develop ment, it is understood that the Dominion Governcent intends to encourage the establishment of steamship services between bache the Atlantio and Pacific conti and China. Special atenin will be given to the export of flour and lumber, although other articles will not, of course, be overlooked: It is confidently expected that. a big expansion of business between the two countries will soon take place. while traffic with Japan is also receiving consideration.
