THE CELTIC AND KAISER WILHELM 11.

OfTate many comparisons have been dr^wn between 1 the two new leviathans, the White Star liner Celtic, just launched from Harland and Wolff's, in Belfast, and the Norddeutscher- Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm IL, still to leave the stocks at the < Vulcan ' Worfcs, in Stettin, Germany. These comparisons are, in many respects, erroneous, and as the two vessels start an interesting experiment in modern ship-builiirag, merit correction. The Celtic, registering 20,880 tons gross, has a displacement of 36ft 6ia of 88,700 fcoua, frith a length of fOOft, breath 7 of 75ft, and a depth of 49ft. The Kaiser Wilbelm 11., on the other hand, registers 19,500 tons gross, and sbctos a displacement of 26,000 tonsat 20ft^drau'ght, with a length of 707 ft, breadth of 72ft, and depth of 41ft. It will be noted that the N D.L. liner is 7ft longer than the Celtic, but the latter 'vessel has a much larger displacement, being Bft deeper and 3ft broader.

The design of the German liner ib different, as she is contracted to have a higher speed than the Celtic, which fur' her manifests itself in the latter fjH|t^r indicating I^OOO-horee p6wer, * -...an'Ht 40,000 horse powpr of the Kajf*t -Wihifltu il , giving her a speed ot2|itnocs against 18 'knots in the Cerabr TWre is aiso a marked difference of the' distribution of passen-ger!-for the three classes. Whereas the Celtic only carries 500 in the saloons, the German liner will carry 1,000, but the Celtic berths 3,253 in the third class, as against only 800 in the Kaiser Wilhelm 11. Though the considerably larger driving power, the crew of the German vessel will aggregate* ,585, and the Celtic 335 men.

the English company adopting the course of building vessels with normal speed, and, therefore, less expense, as against the German system of introducing flyers, with the heavy cost of forcing them across the Atlantic at a maximum speed, in order to give time, and do more journeys annually> and save in the victualling department.
