* EMPRESS OF ABIA.”
LAUNCH OF NEW C.P.B. LINER.
[BY THE "CANADIAN MAIL'S" SPECIAL
REPRESENTATIVE]:
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, DECEMBER 30TH, 1912.
In order to ensure the safety "of the vessels in the event of collision or ground- ing, the hulls are to be sub-divided by humerous, watertight bulkheads, closely spaced, one effect of which will be that any four compartments can be open to the sea, or flooded, and, the vessel will remain afloat.
A departure from current practica has been made in deciding to construct the vessels with cruiser sterne and rudders entirely underbung. This form of stern, besides giving the vessels a very distine- tive appearance, increases the effective length of the waterline, and so sesiste propulsion,
Mrs. G. M. Bosworth, the wife of the Vice-President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, may be said to have added another page to the history of that cor poration's conquest of the mercantile and tourist world on Saturday, November 18th, when she launched the turbine steamer Empress of data. For undoubt edly the new boat and her sister ship the Empress of Russia will conquer the traffic between Asaries and the Far East, for superiority of size, speed, confort, and magnificence will be theirs.
The vessels are destined for the Van- couver-Yokohams-Hongkong service of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and they promise to make a "hit with the tourist public. They will certainly be the most. graceful boats on the Pacific, and those who had the privilege on Saturday of secing them at the works of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Govan, where the Empress of Asia took the water, were unstinting in their admi-modity is conveyed from Japan to the ration of the shapely lines of them: The fact that they have been built with cruiser sterns is partly responsible for their prettiness, though their form is equally admirable in every other respect, The launch of the Empress of Asia was successful in every respect. When she was released by Mrs Bosworth the vessel glided down the ways and took the water in a manner that testified to the perfection of the arrangements.
THE C.P.R.'S ENTERPRISE. Subsequently, the guests at the launch, were entertained at lunch by the Fairfield! Company, and Mr. Alexander Gracie, M.V.O., its Chairman, presided. proposing success to the new ship, Mr. Gracie remarked that the Empress of Asia was an exact replica of the Empress of Russia, launched three months ago, in overy respect except in the decorations of her public rooms.
The vessels will, of course, be fitted with the most up-to-date Marconi apparatus. the comfort of the traveller which modern In fact, all the latest contrivances for ingenuity in the world of shipbuilding bas devised will be introduced in the construction and fitting out of the Empress of daia and Empress of Russia They will carry 200 first-class, 100 second- class, and 800 third-class passengers, and have very large fraight-carrying capacity. Special arrangements have been made for carrying silk, as its by the Canadian Pacific route that the bulk of this com- markets of the world. By following a specified northern course, the C.P.E, mail steamers shorten the route by about 300 miles when compared with the routes to United States porta

WEISMANN'S
The Times says it has received from Mr. Herbert In
C. Robinson, Director of Museums in the Federated Malay States, a long letter, dated Kuala Lumpur, October 20th, in reply to the, lotter on the fauna and flora of the Empire by Sir H. H Johnston, which was published in The Times of October 4th. Mr. Robinson begins by taking exception to a statement by an American naturalist, Mr. C. W. Beche, quoted by Sir H H. Johnston, R.M.S. that the preservation of the faung and flora of the Malay Peninsula is not guiciently safeguarded. After stating that Mr. Beebe saw but little of the wider parts of the country and that his travels did not extend far, Mr. Robinson goes on to say:
The Empress of Russia would be decorated in the French style of the
Louis XV-XVI. period: the Empress
of Asia would represent the English Georgian style in its decorations. The splendid character of the boats would be realised by those who had seen the sister ships that day,
With regard to the C.P.R. itself, said the speaker, they all wondered what its: expansion was going to be next. It had already a network of railways through Canada joining up the various agrical- tural and industrial centres of the vast colony, and it had immense fleets sailing on the Pacific and Atlantic seas; yet that did not seem to satisfy it, as it bad bad to come to Europe, and now C.P.R. observation cars were found on the Austrian railway.
In concluding, Mr. Gracie said it gave them great pleasure to have with them that day Mr. George M. Bosworth, the vice-president of the C.P.R., Mr. A. Piers, the manager of its steamship lines, Mr. G. McLaren Brown, its European traffic manager, and Mr. T. Hewett, Skinner, the eldest son of Sir Thomas Skinner. -
Mr. Skinner, in the course of a reply to the toast, said that the words which bad been used by the proposer of the tocat signified very concretely the fulfiment of the ambition of those men who first started on the project of connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific with a steel road. In those early days it was a matter of stern negotiation to collect the money necessary to complete. construction, but to hear people talk nowadays of the prosperity of the C.P.R. one might think that it had been mere child's play. It was also surprising to compare the pre- sent price of the company's stock with
it was in the early days! people looked upon 275 as a very loy price, and said it would go to 300; but he could remember when it was not much over 30, and the preference stock, now about pár, stood at 66.
PRESENTATION TO MRS. BOSWORTH. Mr. Gracie then proposed the health of Mrs. Bosworth, and presented her with a diamond brooch, enclosed in a silver casket, with an inlaid tortoiseshell lid, as & souvenir of the occasion.
Mr. Bosworth replied for his wife, end remarked that the vessel launched that. day was the eighth built for the Canadian Pacific Railway by the Fairfield Shp- building Company, and he had no doubt it would turn out to be the best. The two Empresses which maintained the Atlantic service were built by Fairfields, and when they made their first appear- ance they aroused great admiration. He was confident that these Empresses for the Pacifle would be just as well received, for they would be quite the finest pecca of marine architecture sailing the Favifis, Mr. Bosworth went on to say that if
the Empresa of Russia and the Empresa
of Asia were a success he quite expected they would be followed by another, or perhaps two others, and he hoped that if the price were right they would be built by Mr. Gracie's company. Mr. Bos worth concluded by proposing the tonst of the builders.
Bir Digby Morant, one of the directors of Fairfield's, responded, and remarked that from the managers and foremen downwards all had been glad to put in their very beat work for the C.P.R
Mr. Gracic then proposed the health of Mr. A. Piers, who had assisted the build- ers, and stated that complete harmony existed between Mr. Piers and his staff and the officials of the company,
Mr. Piers, in reply, testified to the splendid character of the work put into I the Empress of Asia by the Fairfield
employees.
THE LINER'S DIMENSIONS.
Ench vessel measures 590 ft. in length, 68 ft. in breadth, and 46 ft. in depth. Each is of 15,000 tons burden, and the contract speed in each case is eighteen knots per hour.
n addition to their size and speed, b vessels will have 'n' number of at- Atractive features which will undoubtedly draw a very large proportion of trans- Pacific traffic to the Canadian route. The main saloon will be no less than 74 ft. long and 61 ft, wide, lit from the rides by a number of beautifully designed windows nearly 6 ft. wide, and from above by a large well 26 ft. by 18 ft. wide. Besides the usual spacious dining saloon, lounge, café, library, and writing- room, a large gymnasium will be pro- vided on the upper deck. Another fea ture adopted for the first time will be the laundry.
As a matter of fact, I am probably correct in stating that in no part of the tropics under British control are the local fauna and flora placed under more stringent safeguards, and from over ton years' experience of the Malay Peninsula, from north to south, which has largely been spent in zoological and botanical collecting, I am certain that no species of animal or plant stands in the slightest | danger of extermination or even material reduction, taking the country as a whole.

In the adjacent colony very similar legislation exists.

In Johore the regulations as to shooting game or hirds are even more stringeut. In the Protected Malay States (Kelantan, Kedah, Trengganu, and Perlis) no special legislation as yet exists or has been shown to be accessory, while in the Siamese portions of the Peninsula, which I have visited on numerous occasions, the posi tion of the indigenous fauna and fora is thoroughly sound.
