TONNAGE,

WHAT IT MEANS.

We are told that a ship is of a centain tonnage and we, who go down to the sea in ships on oxasions "know all about it," but, really, we don't know very much after all and our comparisons are not very accurate sometimes. There are four different costs of tonnage Net Registered, Groes Registered, Deadweight and Displacement. They are all essy of explanation, if not of calculation. Net tonnage is the cubic capacity, in feet of all the cargo-spacer divided by 100. The number has no signi- Seance whatever but is simply an arbitrary measure. This is the ship's

smallest tonnage.
