economy IN working. The reasons are these the
tonnage or power of carrying cargo. increases in
triple ratio with increase of size, but the power
and fuel necessary propel, increase only in two
fod or duplicate ratio, to the increase OF dimen-
sion thus, if the length, BREADTH and depth Of one
vessel be double those OF another, coRteris parbus
then the tonnage will be 2S,2I2 ighhod that Of
the first, but the mechanical power and fue required
will only be 2E2, or fourold; this for equal speeds
the power OF engine, and expense Of fuel for an
eightfold cargo, are only fourfod proportional
advantage, therefore, is realised Of two TO one. So

regard TO the effect OF adverse weather, and OF hea
Wy In the case of the large vessel; for the
waves are just as high which encounter the small,
the large yessel-proportlonaly, therefore, to the
size OF the vessel they smaller obstacles to the
progress OF the larger ship The COED effects of size
extend also to the capability Of economy in long
voyages We have seen that the proportion of pow
tor an equal speed is smaller in the large vessel
there is therefore, smaller relative space occupied
by the engine and by the fuel for the voyage, that
is to say, much larger space is available for prof.
table cargo. Again, as regards passengers, large
vessel Will carry more than proportonable height
out Of the water; may have, therefore, more decks
and so accommodate greater relative number of
passengers. All these things, therefore, in ia

We have not stated, neitherha we forgotten, the
opinion OF some, that steam ships have been already
made too large, and that we should go back rather
than advance in size. They found this opinion on
the instance of the unhappy President and British
Queen. This, however, Is mistake; the President
and British Queen failed from very simple cause,
