During the year 426 new ships of 1,995,788 tons Rross, compared with 211 of 1,193.650 tons in the previous twelve! months, were fitted for burning oil Many other ships have been surveyed! with a view to their conversion into

Yet no nationality has made a greater con- tribution to scientific knowledge than our own, and done so much to lay the foundations on which the pros- perity of the world rests today, says the Daily Telegraph.
