This vessel has a let-2th of M0 feet, a breadth of 98 feet, " height or 96 feet. and a displacement of over 50.00“ tons. The comparatively recent sudden rise in popularity ot floating docks is due to the rapidity with which they can be built, their small cost compared with a craving dock. and their wonder. ful mobility. Whereas a floating dock capable of lifting a modern liner or battleship would cost about $1,000,000, a growing dock would demand an ea. penditure of more than double this sum. Then the former could be built in a few months, whereas a masonry structure would take at least three or trur years to construct. At Wallsond a floating dock of Il,, 000 ton lilting capacity was completed within eight months of signing the contract. Unlike the fixed structure, the floating dock has the whole world before it, and should trade desert one port for another, it can easily be trans- ferred, while the grating dock would remain idle. th th drtlarrul to ho the father of these structure, was the quaint. wooden, llztrgnwhnpml "difiee invented by one C.

Still, it was not until the end of the nine. it-t-nlll century that the advantages of the tioating dock became generally re- cognizr'd. indeed. so late as the year 1897 there were only 143 floating docks in existence. whereas today there are tutor 400, with, it is estimated. a total! lifting capacity of half a million tons. Half of the dry docks to be found inl tho United States and also in Germany and Holland, are ot the floating type. The most powerful we have in Great t Britain is that built by Messrs. Swan. Hunter and Wigham Richardson, of Was'lyeemrotvTytus, for the British Ad- miralty. and now stationed in the Med-I way, it has a lifting capacity or 33,000} 1llgilriin (lf HUAIINB m However. accurately planned' and carefully tineshed a vessel may be, the time comes when she has to no on the time come; when she has to go up the "siek llat.‘ The ailment may only amount to the need of a fresh coating of paint; or it may be desirable to re. mom- tho accumulation of barnacles and marine Weeds from the ship's bot-1 tom, which have perceptibly reduced her speed.

Floating docks are invariably built complete at the yards, and then towed to their destination. This, on account of the enormous distances they have to travel. and the storms they encoun- tor en route, often proves exciting work. lit-fore now they have broken loose frnnt the tugs and only been re- captured with great diftieulty, while it was but a year or so ago that one be- came a wreck on the South African cessity. Here the floating dock has a great advantage over the rival mason- ry edUlee, for it can be moved from place to place as occasion may re- quire. It can work in a harbor or any sheltered position. and as the time re- quired to berth a ship only occupies a few hours. quite a number of vessels can be attended to in a comparatively short space of time.

Prof. Mavor has traveled much in Russia and China. and an ancient "shuba." a sheepskin coat. was for many years one of the sights of the campus. His economic lectures were once described as a student as “around the world in M) minutes." There is, for instance the tale of the trousers. Prof. Mavor. like a good many other men of deen learn- l mg, is an illustration of the theory (that men are well dressed or not in Iinverse ratio to their mental ea Ja- lity.

In due time the new ‘trousers arrived home. The next morning the professor donned the new garments, and left the old ones over the chair. He departed to deliver a lecture at eollege. A member of the family came into the profvssor's room and observed the garments. A hurried rush to the phone ensued, and the following conversation took place: "Hello! Is that the main build- ing of the universitvl Could you please hurry and find Prof Mavorr' “Is anything wrong at his house!" came the reply. "Oh no! But hurry! Is his an pearance unusual?"

Prof. Mavor was having al long discussion with Prof. Fletcher‘ at the latter's house. He walked home in the earlv hours of the morn- ing, and found that he had, as usual. forgotten his latchkey. He pounded on the door for several minutes. A head was thrust out. from an upstairs window. "Prof. Mavor is out," came the call. "Jimmy" turned solemnly around and went. back to Prof, Fletcher’s.l known, as the hero of them.
