THREE GREAT PORTS

START NEW' BUILDING COMPETITION.

London, Nov. 1. While the leaders of Britain's

three principal political parties are arguing about imports, Empire free trade and tariffs Britain's three. principal ports are battling for supremacy in the handling of abundant trade, regardless of the Political outcome.

London, Liverpool and South- ampton dock authorities are spend ing millions of pounds sterling on dock improvement schemes in an effort to give their respective ports a lead in attracting the world's shipping trade, both freight and passenger.

In the past few years the Port of London Authority, controllers of what is regarded as the world's greatest port, have spent some £20,000,000 (over $100,000,000) on schemes to extend and improve the docks still further. The great King George V dock at North Wool- worth is one of the results of their In its labours and expenditures. last business year the port handled tl z record total of 58,500,000 tons of shipping, dealt with £705,000,000 worth of trade (84 per cent. of the whole United Kingdom quota), and received more imports than the ag- gregate of the next five largest

Liverpool, the great north west- ern port, is also throwing millions Into the fight.

NAUTICAL INVENTIONS.

A New Lifeboat Launching

Gear.

A new lifeboat launching gear, and a device whereby fog signals can be changed into something that may be seen, with a pilotage instrument for determining the position of ships at night near the coast, and other nautical inven- terest to the sixth International Ex- tions, give a certain shipping in-

of Inventions, at the hibition Central Hall, Westminster. The is organised by the display Institute of Patentees, of which Lord Askwith is president.

ap-

A large model of a ship demon- strates a new device for improve- ment of ships' lifeboats, and their It is the work of launching. Captain W. Marstrander, of New- castle-on-Tyne, the chief of the Scandinavian Shipping Bureau in that port. This equipment, worked by hand, can be fitted to any ship for use with the usual lifeboats. It costs £500. The demonstrations have aroused a great deal of in- terest amongst shipping visitors to a Norwegian the exhibition, and owner has just ordered the

runa pllance. An overbead rail round the boat deck that allows lifeboats to be launched on either side of the ship, according to 'the list at the time of the disaster. A boom drops at right angles to the deck and carries the lifeboat out into the sea, sliding down a wire rope, and comfortably launching itself into the roughest weather. The releasing and launching of the the lifeboats is controlled from bridge. There is also a model of a completely covered-in life-boat, which will immediately right itself if overturned in a heavy sea.

Fog Compass.

The ship's course may be laid to counteract the varying "set and drift," of the tidal current, and any marked variation of this "set and drift, due to stress of weather, may be detected at the earliest possible moment, thereby enabling a navigator to keep account of the ship's position, notwithstanding immediate alterations of the ship's course. Whilst possessing a full range ahead of 80 miles, the scale is such as to be comfortably read. Another small model shows how a boat can get propulsive power out of the waves around it. The rise and fall of the waves at the stern produce the power through small Í blades under the boat.

STINK BOMBS AT OPERA. Japanese Prince Among Those Driven Out.

P

Frankfort-on-Main, Oct. 20. Prince Takamatsu, brother of Emperor Hirobito of Japan, and his consort were driven from the opera house here last night by stink bombs thrown by Fascists.

The bomba

were not directed against the royal visitors, but were in proteat against the opera, ""The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogany."

The Fascista yelled, whistled, chanted and released the bombs amid tumult and shouts of "Long live Hitler" and "Germany awake."

HONG KONG TIDE

The tide-table given below has been obtained by aid of the Tide-predict Ing Machine, which includes 10:com ildes, from the result of the analysis: of the ponents for the better prediction of tidal observations, taken at the Kowloon tidal observatory under the direction of Dr. Dobeack during the years 1887, 1888 and 1889,

The times and heights are given for Kowloon; but they may be used for the Victoria. Naval Yard and Aberdeen, the differences being very small.

The times of high and low-water must not be considered to coincide with the times, of slack-water and change of current, the two phenomena being quite distinct.
