THE INFLUÊNCE OF DEPTH OF ́WATER ON SHIPS' SPEEDS.
Engineering, examining this subject, says that for the coastal destroyers of from 200 to 215 tone, the beat depth of water for a to be 20 ft., speed of 26 kuota
whilst the normalisht resistance will
be met with at a depth of 98 ft., no appreciable advantage being gained by run- ning at a greater depth. For destroyers of the River class, of from 560 to 600 tons, and 251 knota spood, the resistance will be at a minimum for shallow water at a depth of about 20 ft., and will then increase until It reaches the maximum at 67 It.. after which it will decline until, at 185 ft., it will be the same as at 29 ft. Beyond 135 ft. the resistance will remain constant at all grostor "depths. The River class of destroyer reach their speed of 25) knots In 25 ft to 35 ft. of water, and also at depths' above 120 ft., but not at any intermediate depth. Probably they would do: better at the 135 ft. mentioned, but they seem to be at their worst in ́60 ft, to' 70 ft. of water, A 780-ton vessel of 33 knota-figures that ocean-going sofrespond to the new destroyers-will do best in shallow water at a depth of about 32 ft., and that in deep water the resistance will be normal at about 150 ft. or upwards. A vessel of similar form, but of somewhat larger dis- placement and of a speed of 30 knots, would be likely to reach, its best shallow. wator performance at a depth of about 38 ft, whilst about 170 ft. of water would be needed to give normal resistance in deep
water.

BALLOON ADVENTURE.
Trip Over the Pyrenees,.
PARIS, Jan. 28. Signor Duro, who won the Deutsch Cup last wook by crossing the Pyrenees from Pau in a balloon, returned to his starting point on Friday to recover his motor car. Interviewed at Pau and Biarritz, he gave a long account of his journey. He had meant to start at eleven o'clock on Monday morning in order to cross the Pyrenees in daylight, but his balloon was not ready until the evening. The wind was still in the north, so he started at four o'clock. Soon he reached a height of 3000 feet, and and at 4500 he was in theclouds. Night came on at half-past five, and he threw out ballast to got to an altitude which would allow him to pass the highest point in the Pyrenees, The highest point, the Pic. Du Midi, is 4500 feet, and he was, he thought, sailing at a height of about 5000. However, at half-peat six, his guide rope caught. Hel

1. Cheapness of my Cigarettes compared to imported cigarettes, owing to tobacco
being admitted duty-free into Hongkong, and that you are buying direct from the Manufacturer, doing away with middlemen's profits,
2.-Freshness of iny Cigarettes, as they are made daily for each day's consumption, which makes it impossible to have an old stock of Cigarettes, as is very likely with imported Cigarettes.

most uneventful within recent years. All the fancied teams won, with the exception of Motherwell, and their defeat by the Hamilton Academicals cannot be looked upon as altogether inexplicable. Mother- well were the only First League team op posed to a combination outside that circle to fall, and as only two pairs of Firat Leaguers were drawn against each other, most of the big clubs are still left in the competition. This of course, means that the second round will be full of interest.
The best game of the round was probably What at Dundee, where the Celtic just succeeded in defeating the home team by..

The Hibernians did well to defeat Fal kirk at Falkirk. They had little to spare, but they get the odd goal, which was rather more than was expected of them. Callaghan able to resume, the Hibernians' prospects are now improving, and they may do well in the further stages of the Cip competition. The Hearts had little opposition at Tynocastle, whither they had Fured the Nithadale Wanderers by a monetary bait. They scored two goals in the first five minutes, and thereafter, toying with their opponents, finished the game with a load of four to one.
Leith Athletic had very hard luck in Losing to Partick Thistle by two goals to one. There were three penalties awarded In the course of the game, from one of which Partick Thistle scored. The other two were given to Leith, but one only was converted. Leith had most of the play. but their finishing was rather weak. They were unfortunate, too in having to play against the wind in the first half and in having to re-arrange their team because an injury prevented one of their backs from playing. Despite these misfortunes Leith played the botter game, and the First Leaguers were forced to kick out towards Whatever "time" to save their goal. credit there was in the play did not, there fore, belong to Partick Thistle.

The draw in the second round of the Association Cup ties took place on TuesdayHE Steamship evening. The Hearts were again unlucky. After drawing a financial blank in the first round, they have had pretty much the same luck in the second. Drawn against Beith at Beith, they cannot look for "any gate money, but they can at least amuse them- selves by speculating on. who their opponents in the third round will be. Beith are not a weak team, all the same, and they contested the Qualifying Final against the winners, Leith 'Athletic. The Hibernians are drawn at home against Partick Thistle and should pass into the third round. The Partick team, when seen at Leith last Saturday, did not inspire The draw, generally, can Confidence. hardly be said to offer much excitement. It seems too easy to forecast the results.
