The Prevention of Piracy. The employment of women searchers as well as mea would seem to be a desirable stop in view of the suspicion which widely prevails that arms are smuggled aboard ship by women, and it the suggestion that, all'. baggage should be locked in a store-room is a practical one, that also would be a useful precaution, There is something to be said, too, for the offer of a substantial. reward for information of an in- tended piracy, for there is a strong suspicion that these adventurea are planned in Hongkong. We | have heard it suggested that the pirate gauge get to know the. movements of treasure and are in- formed when emigrants returning from abroad with their savings on their person are intending to make the jouraey from Hongkong to their native homes.

Draught of Ships on Cost of Transport.
As to the actual effect of in creased draught on the economy of ships, Professor Sir John H. Biles recently gave to the Domin- ions Commission some suggestive data. It may be remembered that some years ago he te kled the problem and present d to the Institution of Naval A:chitects a lucid case in favour of increased depth. Bie paper on that occasion took as a basis a 500-ft, cargo | carrier of 28 ft._draught and 12 knote speed. By increasing the length of the ship to 700 ft.. without increasing the draught the actual cost of cargo-carrying would be incrassed from 88, 6d, to 118.2d, per jon on a 5,000 seamile voyago, whereas were the draught increased in correct ratio to the length of the ship the cost would bereduced from 8a. Od.in the 500- ft. abip to 7. per ton in the case of the 700-ft, steamer. In other words, advance in size, including depth of hall, if ren lered possible by deeper channels and harbours, would convert the loss of 28.0d. in the 700 ft. ship to a gain of la. 6d, ns compared with the 500 feet ship on a 5,000-mile voyage,

Far Eastera Shipping. The position of British com TRANSPORT,mercial and maritime interests is the subject of rather a gloomy: and pessimistic report sent home by Mr. Hodgson the British Con- eal at Vladivostok. Of British trade be remarks that it has never been anything but insignificant, and in 1912, it was, as far as can be judged, rather moro éo than No. 1683.sual. The actual volume of British trade cannot be ascertain- el, the greater part of it being. shipped through Hamburg and

many. As a consequence British imports are not deemed of suffici. ent importance to be put under a beading by themselves. Why they shouled cut such a poor figure is difficult to understand but Mr. Hedgeon, as too many others have doue before him, attributes this to British indifference. In timen) gone by, he says, British manu- facturers dismissed the country from their minds as not worth bothering about and now-antar ally enough-hesitate to take the alopa necessary to recover lost. ground."
