PASSING OF THE SAIL. Attention is called in tlio London "Times" to the disappearance of sails alone tlie coasts and flordi? of Norway. Thousands of trawlers and, deep-sea fishing boats aro being eauipped with internal combustion engines l , and the familiar brovm -sails are vanishing for ever. "We do. not doubt," says "The Times," "that'the news will raise a, wail in many quarters, and that tho effect of progress upon tho pictureequo will once more bo denounced: but we are not at all sure that t.his outburst-, if it comes, will deserve much sympathy. _ A similar change, slower, but not Ices iir ovitablo, is goinsr on around our own shores. Tho fishermen are discarding their sails, or'oniy keening them for secondary uso, and are buying engines. "A full-riggod ship in stately progress np the Channel ifl a delight to tho eye, but olio learns with the changing years that isails are not 'a primary factor In the beauty of ships."
