Now the Cedric is 702 feet long, and new Cunarders are being built with a length of 760, and a beam of 78. The maximum depth is still 32 feet, and it will be far more difficult to get this increased than length or breadth, because of the shallowness in many approach channels and over most dock sills. Still, the 1000-foot steamer is approaching, and the time when the Suez Canal must be dredged to 40 feet is at hand.

For Sprains THE right time to treat a sprain is the minute you get it, and the right is CHAMBERLAIN'S remedy to PAIN BALM. You can say what you will about this or that thing being good for a sprain, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm beats them all. The quicker you rub it on, and the more you use it, the sooner the sprain will be gone. Even if Chamberlain's Pain Balm gets you back to work one day quicker han other remedies, it will

pay for itself several times, but it generally cures a sprain, strain, or a bruise a week before anything else, and a week's wages amount to a good deal to most people. One appli

So far as I am aware, no other plan (than that of dredging) for providing deep water accommodation, has hitherto been suggested. except that contained in a scheme of Har- bour Improvement formulated and sub- mitted to Government by me in January, 1902, which provided, inter alia, for the deepening, by natural means, of the water West of the Kowloon Peninsula and inside Sulphur Channel. This scheme I am not permitted to publish. It should cost a considerable sum of money, money which, however, once spont, would be spent once and for all, and would give us many things besides an increased deep water anchorage, including the vexed question of communi- cations, dealt with by Captain Rumsey in his report for 1901.
