"SUPER-LUSITANIAS." Just as faic Dreadnought is now outclassed by the super-Dreadnoughf, so the Lusitama and the Mauretania, the pride of the British merchant service, will, save in speed, be surpassed by the White Star leivathans to be launched next year. At least this is the impvtesion one gefs from an article about these vessels in the London Daily News. The tonnage of the Curnard fliers is 33,000; that of the Olympic and Titanic ■will be about 45,000." As the average speed aimed at will, be only twenty-five knots, compared with the Cunarrhrs' twenty-five knots, more space in proportion to size will bo available for passenger accommodation. In'this the new boats will he the finest on the seven seas. They will have nine decks. Oric of the upper decks will lie designed lo serve as a ball-room and skating-rink. If the passenger tires of the main dining saloon, which will sent COO passengefs, he will be able to wander from one cafe to another in search of variety. One of these restaurants will be built on an upper deck astern looking over- the water, and vines twined round rafters and climbing up latticed sides will produce something of the effect of an openair resort in Southern Europe. There will be a grill-room suggestive of an Old English chon-house, two gardens, a great swimming bath, and the largest and most completely equipped gymnasium afloat. For the wealthy there will not only be a suite of cabins, but even comfortable flats, so that it -will be possible to cross the ocean in luxury without sacrificing the privacy of home. Each vessel will carry under normal conditions more than 5000 persons. It is sad to think that the splendour of such immense and luxurious boats in which the science of the shipbuilder and the skill of the, hotel manager combine to produce comfort and safety, will be clouded by such a vulgar thing as seasickness. •»' ■ i> ii ■■■! ■ m^mm^^—^
