CONSTRUCTION OF LEVIATHANS. Frequent mention lins been made in various quarters' of the designing and building of larger vessels than the Mauretania aiid Lusitaiii'a (says a London correspondent). Thero is no mechanical difficulty'inVcnrryiug iut'.suclr a scheme with the expressed- ihtehtio'n of gaini ing ;greater sea speed; but at present, a very grave hindrance exists^-orie-that in a financial sense raises questions of: serious, importance. All-vessels require docking and wharf accommodation, arid' tho numbei of natural harboui-6 with, channcla of approach easily 'navigable by vessels' of great length and great draught is extremely-limited: The artificial construction of ports and of deep channels of approabll is a costl^-.-investment, and ; ,th6ir- conservation ckuscs perennial outlay oii a lavish 1 scale.
