THERE is every prospect that one of the new Canadian Pacific liners to be constructed for the Pacific service from Vancouver to Hongkong and Manila will be a sister ship to the giant Empress of Britain, due here on March 20 on her fifth annual round the world cruise.
According to a reliable London source, Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd. will place an order on the Clyde within the. next few months for a 42,500 ton luxury liner-identical in every detail with the Empress of Britain.
The order will probably go to John Brown and Co. Ltd. It will mean three years work for at least five thousand men who would otherwise be unemployed following the completion of the Queen Mary.
Canadian Pacific Ltd, are considering the construction of two other liers, it is revealed.
Although no definite pronouncement has been made by the Company, it is understood that the Empress of Asia and Empress of Russia, the two oldest Canadian Pacific vessels on the Far Eastern servico, will be withdrawn when the new vessels completed,

Due to unsettled conditions in the Mediterranean, the annual itinerary of the Empress of Britain was altered this year. She omitted all Mediterranean ports, travelling from the Atlantic to the Indian and Pacific Ocenna by way of the Cape. From Hongkong she will proceed on March 25 to Shanghai, Chinwangtag, Beppu, Kobe, Yoko- hams, Honolulu, Hilo, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Balboa, Christobal and Havana back to New York, arriving there on May 18,

Tremendous Puli
Dr. Kuiper found its gravity puil is tremendous. A man weighing 150 pounds on earth, transported, to this star, would weigh 254,625 tons. Under the terrific strain a human body would collapse and spread like water.
The star in composed of gas heavier than anything existing on earth, the astronomers found.
A tennis ball on earth tilled with the gas, would weigh something over 1,000 tons.
How gaa could be this heavy was explained by the star's great hent of 28,000 degrees. In this scorch-" ing furnace, atoms lose some of their electrons. and can crowd closer together. Thus there is much more matter and weight per cubic inch,
