The cost of motor ships is generally considered to be higher than that of steamers. It is, how- ever, inexact to generalize, and it has already been established that high-class fast cargo liner

The assumption in such parisons is that the two classes of ship-steam and motor-have use- ful lives of equal length. Actual- ly, the oil-engined vessel equipped with motors of a good type can reckon on so many more years of useful economic activity that this factor greatly outweighs any extra

capital cost that may be involved.org patan, pastaj tatare, dat

This is a point which has not previously been brought forward, Decause time has been too short for suitable evidence to be acquired. Motor vessels have, however, now been in service sufficiently long for a reasoned opinion to be given which confirms the statement have made. Last month a pro- minent British shipowner, with experience of a very large number of steamers and motor ships re- marked that the life of a motor ship

We

again with the condition that the engines are of a well-built, well- designed type-was to be reckoned as 10 years greater than that of a steamer,

The machinery of the Selandia, which has been in regular trade fer almost 20 years, is now running with equal economy and reliability to that shown in its year of service and could certainly be relied upon for satisfactory and efficient opera. tion for at least another 10 years if the bull would stand it.

con-

At Belfast during the course of last month we inspected three single-screw British-built motor ships equipped with the first Har. land-B. and W. engines yet structed, and which were placed in operation 17 years ago; whilst no work of any importance was need- ed on the propelling engines, new boilers are being installed to sup- ply steam for the auxiliaries, which is an indication that the owners anticipate many years' use- ful activity.

Other similar evidence is ac cumulating that motor ships long outlast steamers, and, what is equally important, their economy remains unimpaired and the repair bill does not rise, for increasing age calls for no large replacements as in a steamer. If at a moderate estimate the economic life of an oil-engined vessel be set at 25 per cent. greater than that of a steamer built to an equally high-class specification, it is evident that the question of the real capital cost of a ship resolves Itself in favour of the motor vessel, no matter of what class. And this le a matter apon which too much emphasis cannot be laid in the near future when the problem of the construction of tonnage of the most economic type will have to be considered on all sides.-Mator Ship.

STOWAWAY IN PACKING CASE.

Adventurer's- Ignominious End.

Paris, April 10.

"I will go to America even if I have to go in box," Louis Chlanese, a 20-year-old. Parisian, often told his parents. A few days ago they received a bill for trans- porting a packing-case aboard the liner Lafayette.In the meanwhile Louis had disappeared.

The parents wireleased the liner in mid-Atlantic, resulting in the the discovery of Louis in the pack- Ing-case, which he had occupied for five days among the cargo. It appears that the case, which. measured 7ft 2in. long and Sft. Zin. high, and was labelled "stowaway from ballers," arrived at a carrier's office by handcart, accompanied by the intimation that, it contained bats for a New York firm

The Dollar Steamship Line have announced that repairs for the President Cleveland will not be completed for sey- eral days and that the s.s. Pre- sident Madison has been sub- slituted to take the schedule of the President Cleveland.

The President Madison is scheduled to sall from Hang. Kong at 6 p.m. on Saturday from Hong Kong to Shanghai, Honolulu, Kobe, Yokohama,

San Francisco, Los Angeles, Balboa, Cristobal (Panama Canal Zone), Havana (Cuba), and New York.

It is expected that the authori-ma ties will not permit Chiàuese to land in Ameries. Upon his return to France he will be prosecuted on various charges, Including travalli ing on the railway, without a ticket.
