An American Inland Seaport.

SniPBUILDING EXTRAORDINARY. Shipping and shipbuilding are usually associated in the mind with the oceans and the great seas that divide the continents, so that the uninitiated Etranger who arrives in Cleveland after a trip of about GOO mile 3 fby train from the seaboard is to be par- I doned for expressing surprise at finding that city claiming distinction as a s^apovt, and ppeaking with pricle of the products of its shipbuilding yardß. Yet as be becomes ticquaiuted with the Forest City, as it is calied, owing to the number of trees that 'line its streets, he will admit that these claims aye not altogether unjustified. The city in which Garfield was born is situated on the shores of Lake Erie, one of the gre:it inland seas, on « hose waters float a fleet of vessels numbering some 3000, and including all sorts and conditions of craft, from ferry boats to large passenger steamers of 400 feet in length, and driven by engines of ) 8000 horsepower. I A visit to the harbour shows the extent of the shipping done. All along the ex tensive piers vessels may be seen discharg- j ing iron ores, brought from the shores of | Lake Michigan. Most of thia ore is loaded j into large freight cars of 50 tons capacity, and sent to the rolling mills in the Pitts burg district. The vessels employed in the ore carrying business are specially built for the purpose, the features being great carry ing capacity on a small draught of water, and special facilities for getting cargo out and in. They are of varying dimensions, having a length anywhere between 300 and 500 feet, and carrying from 3000 to 8000 tons of ore. They have only one deck, and are provided with as many as 10 or 12 hatches. The way in which the ore is taken out is very interesting. Set up on the pier are a set of six lifts or cranes of special de sign, each operating a bucket capable of holding a ton of ore. Such is the facility with which the material can be handled owing to the number of hatches and lifts employed that 6000 tons of material can. be tmusferred from the hold of a vessel and loadod into cars in 20 hours.

"While iron ore is the chief material handled, large quantities of coal and general merchandise are shipped. A BIG SHIP IN 50 DATS. The methods used in buildiug lake ves sels are to some extent different from those adopted at home. As a rule a yard has only two building berths, but owing to the methods adopted, and the use of a travelling crane for handling the plates, etc., they are able to build large vessels with great ra pidity. In fact they claim at pome of the yards to be able to launch a vessel of COO feet in length in from 30 to 40 days from the time of laying -the keel. Owing prin cipally to there being no tide on the lakes, the vessels are launched sideways, and, in ' many cases, into quite narrow docks, not more than double the width of the vessels launched; in fact, some yards launch their vessels into their dry dock, so that they can fit them out with the same appliances { as are used for tackling repair work. MOVING BIG BOILERS. One cannot but admire the very smart way in which as a rule material is handled in American workshops. It was, therefore, a surprise to me to see the manner in which the American Shipbuilding Company trans ported the boilers for their ships through the streets of Cleveland. The distance to be traversed is about a mile, and the time taken seemed to be several days. A frame work of wood, not unlike a sleigh, is pro vided, on which the boiler islset. On the ground long battens are laid, and between the sledge runners and these battens a num ber of wpbd runners are placed. The boiler is towed along by. means of a tackle oper ated !>y a horse turning an old fashioned windlass, set up in the middle of the street, some distance in front of the boiler. As fcho horse walks around, the end of the tackle is coiled up on the -windlass, and the boiler is moved slowly forward, meanwhile tho wood rollers and'the battens are brought from behind and replaced in front of the boiler by the men engaged ou the work. No darn.ige is done to the streets, but the pro gress made is so very slow that the method does not seem to be worthy of imitation.

SPEOfA.MSATION IN PKODUCTrOy. Cleveland is the home of many industries, all kind of metal and hardware g.x ds 'being fashioned'in its workshops. Specialisation seems to be a strong point, as large numbers of factories are found each turning out one set of articles only. Thus factories turning out nothing but screw-nails, iron fittings for carriages, spikes for holding down rail road rails, and so on, are general. The Cleveland Twist Drill Company is a case in point, and a visit to their works illustrates the methods adoptedin the best type of Am erican manufacturing concerns. Through out it is evident that capital has not been grudged, but put into plant everywhere tii.it it was possible to save a shilling on the cost of production. The factory, like all American factories, is alongside the rail way track, for great attention is always paid to shipping facilities. A coal conveyor car ries the coal needed in the works from the waggons to a hopper in the roof of the pri vate electric power generating station. From this hopper the coal passes down shoots to the automatic stokers on the boilers below, being weighed on its way down.

The power' is all generated by electricity, and the machines are driven by electric mo tors, thus doing away almost entirely with the revolving shafts and running belts so characteristic of a workshop. By this means it is claimed that the operator has the fullest control of his machine, and can therefore run it to the best advantage. Many of the tools employed are of special design to accomplish the greatest amount of work, and are so arranged that one skilled mechanic can, without undue strain, tend to four, and, in some cases, six. In this way it is possible to both pay high wages and have low wages cost on the pro ducts.

workmen's wages., The workmen are paid good wages, get ting from Is to Is 3d per hour, and are in every way encouraged to do their best. Large lavatories are provided for the men washing up before leiviug off work, and clean overalls, with a locker to hold them, are put at the disposal of every employee. There is also a large well-equipped dining h'ttll, where excellent meals are served from the work kitchen, at a price below the actual cost, as it has been found advantageous; to lose a few pounds a week on the restaurant and keep the employees contented and steady at work. In this and other ways an endeavour is made to g«t the workers to ! recognise that their interests and their em ployers' are identical. Notices requesting suggestions tending to promote efficiency or add to the we I'-being of the workers are posted in the shop. All such suggestions must be made in writing, and placed in a box provided for the purpose. Every sug gestion, which, when adopted, is found to be of beneSt, or to affect a saving, is paid for , in cash. : A. C. T., in " The People's Journal." i

iU O«KLu Bflciu S^feJn



Th© Case of Fflr. F. COHY. (BY A WELLINGTON EEPORTFR). By the noble self-sacrifice of our oolonul troops in responding to the call to ;i;ms on bshu-if of the mother Country when the S'juth African war was declared we now Ijavo experienced soldiers returning to the colo nita whose insight into the modern me! hods of conducting warfare should prove of tuvat assistance iii imparting pnicti>a! military know lodge to our volunteer forces,® New Zealanders, Canadians, and A::s:ti ".liana have proved themselves worthy foemen in every battlefield wherein they h»ve been cug&eed, and the patience, intelligence, and foresight shown by them during^ the many intervals of scanty faro and other priva tions have aroused the admiration of seasoned old warriors whose campaigns are irunorons. Their discipline and daring have boon highly eulogised by the officers under whom they have served. At one time, ow ing to the deficiency of transport, the army ha<l to perform much work that would other wise have been done by horae3 and mules. After Bleeping in wet clothes, and suffering the ravages of cold, hunger, and fatigue, besides drinking any water that could bo found, no wonder that such an appalling list of deaths occurred of those unfortunates who failed to escape the prevailing diseases. The ,nuniuer of victims to enteric fever forms a dismal feature in the history of the war, and it is Bincerely hoped that every man who has recovered sufficiently to re turn to his home may loon enjoy the manly strength which he exhausted in upholding the honour and dignity of the British Em ' i>ire. An incident which is worthy of the reader's attention was supplied to our repor ter by Mr. Frederick Cory, of Rixon Grove, Mount Victoria, Wellington. • " I am informed that you were in delicate fipalth gome time back," hazarded the re porter. " 1 would like to know the par ticulars of same if you have no objections ? " " I have not the slightest hesitation in giving publicity Id my experience of sick ness, as I consider I shall be discharging an obligation and a duty at the same time. It is About twelve years ago, I dare say, since I first became run down in health through extreme heat and overwork. I was physi cally and mentally worn-out, and my nervous system showed marked signs of my serious j state of debility." '•Were you living in this city at the time?" 0 " No, I waa residing in Melbourne. I have travelled nearly all over the adjacent colonies, however, and I considar that the sudden changes of weather in some parts have had a great deal to do with bringing on my attacks of debility, dyspepsia, and liver troubles. My appetite fell off com pletely, and I slept very poorly. I was also troubled with indigestion. I felt tired and fatigued, with a great disinclination for j cxci tion of any kind. During the progress j of those twelve years I have taken a lot of j physio of various k'nds, with the result that I am convinced there is no medicine to compare with Clements Tonic. I forget exactly how I came to start taking it, but when I did commence it was not long be fore I fait that I was in possession of a very Valuable medicine at last."\



"How did Clements Tonic act with you ? " " Unlike all tho other so-called remedies I had been taking, I found that after taking ft few doses of Clements Tonic I was able to sleep Boundly and well, and my whole system gradually underwent a change for the better. The recuperative properties of Clements Tonic acted in a remarkable man ner on my norvous system, which was toned and braced up once more. By degrees my appetite assumed its normal proportions, and I «us thus enabled to regain my lost flesh. I lost all trat-se of indigestion, and the fearful headaches from which I used to puffer now departed. - The disappearance of all my distressing symptoms was only a matter of time with Clementß Tonic, which restoroJ me to a first-class condition of health and strength. " If aye you used any medicine since t" 11 On'y on a few occasions during the ex cessively warm summer months/when I take some Clements Tonic to keep me in order. I always found Clements Tonic a faithful fitftjid, therefore you are at liberty to pub lish my testimony in any way you like.
