In this total are included no mer- chant vessels ordered by the Govern. ment _and no general service trawlers, tugs or craft built on Government order. "The list is composed of battle- shlps, battle-cruisers, light cruisers, dutroyers and submarines, together with armed merchant cruisers, sea- plane carriers, monitors, mine-sweep- ers, those new vessels known as sloops, which are really little lighter than cruisers or low speed destroy- ers; gunboats, patrol boats. hospital steamshllrs. and also the Q-boats and PQ-boats. of which so little could be said whlle'the war was on, or even yet can -be said. "The battle-cruiser Hood was the greatest of all our mystery ships, She and the Rodney would have been the greatest surprise packages of the war. ln speed and gun power they were to have exceeded anything atlost. Only the Hood, however, will be completed, as s great specimen of the latest in British naval architec- ture. All that exists of the Rodney will be scrapped. "But it is really in marine' engi- neering that the year 1918 and the war period as a whole have been extraordinary. The twelve months’ record in production of ships’ mach- inery is held by the Walisend-on- Tyne, which turned out engines of 318,290 horse-power, but other drms halve turned. out machinery in amounts which would have been not- able in normal times. “The year 1916, however, was the year of the highest records, the Fair- neld Company, on the Clyde, alone producing marine propelling mach- nsry totalling 468,410 horsepower. This was the year when high-power destroyers were being turned out al- tnost ‘en masse by all firms to hunt down German submarines,‘and it will li_ve for all time in the industrial an- nals of the _United Kingdom as a year which/contributed more than snyother to the supremacy at sea which ultimately strangled Germany and compelled her to cry aloud for peace." Bonilres. ‘.. The boniires which lit up London during the armistice celebrations were familiar sights in the London of Henry VIIl's reign. At the sunsetting, in the months of June and July, say_s Old Stow the Chronicler, “Boneilre.s, ’ as they were called ln his day, were made in the streets, "ovel'Y H19-D be* stowing wood or labor towards them.” Citizens set out tables near the tires, with plentiful refreshments, on festival days, and thereunto they invited their neighbors, and "pas- sengers" also, “to sit and be merry with them in great familiarity." These “bonetlre” celebrations were considered good opportunities for the closing of old disputes, and for the bringing of good amity M1101!! heigh- bors. llluminations, too, were DPM- ticed in Stow's time. He speaks of the custom on the days of St. Peter and St. Paul for every msn to SIIHGUW his door with green birch. long fen- nel. st. .inline wort. °rvin and While llles, and adds that some of the citizens had lamps or sim with 011 burning in them all night. 501116. too, hung out branches of iron cur- iously wrought contiiining hundred! of lamps lighted at once.

Sllilnglini Harbor. i A body appointed to make an ex-~ baustive study of the best means of enlarging the harbor facilities of Shanghai, China, has recently re- ported, recommending that $40,000.-4 000 to $45,000,000 be spent in mek-' ing the Whangpoo river into a lake,f_ the shores of which will be one con- tinuous iine of docks. Emphasis is! laid on me incl uni ciiinn in des-} lined to share increasingly in inter--_ national commerce after the war. To` meet the new demamls there must be ‘ harbor facilities suiiicient to accom-‘ module the largest boats that will come through the Panama Canal. It is pointed out that if some one port‘ in China does not make adequate pro- vision for the great ships from Amer- _ ics. and Europe, a Japanese port willi undoubtedly be made the terminal. for the built oi' the trans-Pacific; traffic, and only second-rate vessels would come to China. i In urging the making of the arti-g ilcial--lake and other improvements; involved in the'chanKe. including the _ building of quays along- some 38| miles of sl1oi'e, attention is called to_ Hamburg, Germany. and the expen-i ditures made there to provide s. world _ harbor. lt is said that a whole dis- i trlct of the German town, with 1,000' houses inhabited by z4,oo0=pereons.' was sacrificed in order that the bar- bor improvements might be made. It _ is maintained that Sha_ngliai’s advan- I tageous position as compared with other Chinese harbors, and its loca-| ___ ___ _ tion at the mouth, oi the great Yang- I tse river, make it the logical port for 'thevast improvements described.--_ Popular Merchanics.
