NON-ROLLING SHIPS,

Ac AVallsend-on-Tyne the Cunard liner Laconia about completed; her trial trips were io enmo oft this month. The ves-ej constitutes a new departure in British shipping, for she will be the first liner under the red ensign to be fitted with anti-rolling tanks. It is currently reported iliac if the tanks arc a s'ucco.ss in her case tiny will he provided—of connse, on a scale to suit her large dimensions—in the Cunard Company’s 60.090-tnn liner Aquitania. The tanks in question are on the principles enunciated by Dr. Erahm, mid already subjected to severe tests of efficiency at sea in vessels of considerable tonnage. it hardly needs to be pointed out that if, by tho uso of this device, the rolling of a ship can be reduced to a minimum in a heavy beam .sou, the comfort of the ocean passenger will lie enhanced in a singular degree. Hitherto, it must be confessed. British shipowners hare not show n undue haste in availing themselves of this mechanical device. although in principle it is by no means new. Sir Philip Watt*, for instance, long since ma-cle a number of valuable experiments in die direction indicated. Li; lias, hmyover, been left- for the Germans to lead the way in tho practical application of the idea. It is stated that, following upon the prool which has been given of their utility in other German steamers, the 11 nmhurgAmeriean Company have been Induced to have anti-rolling tanks fitted in their linen* Amerika and Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, ns well as in their big in tor media to steamers Cleveland and Cincinnati, and in the cruising steamer Victoria Louise, formerly the famous greyhound Deutschland. it is likewise believed that the ll.amburgAmerican Company wiiEsimilarly equip tiie two 60.060*t0u liners now being built for them in. German yards. Dr. Ernhm'.s system ha., gained great popularity in an unusually short space of time. SAILORS AND COMPENSATION. According to a London shipping authority ( when seamen were included in the British Workmen’s Compensation Act it was rather supposed that an undue burden had been laid upon shipowners. This expectation lias not been realised, for the average compensation paid last year was was 12s -id ner bead of llie seamen employed. This i> much higlmr tluiu the average . in some oilier occupation 1 *, but it compares with 12' U)d* in the cases of perengaj.cd in waistructional work, 20s 2d in tl.o case of workers in mines, and 20> (h! ii, iv.-p-Ti of dork labour.
