Frederick Dlnion had ;in illu-.lr;it- ed iiitirli! on Clyde- lii|>'>uil.lim; in ;i recent issu of th^ I' ill M:ill M-IKI- zini'. Hi" r'-c:il!.s the f.icl t.h:il. in 1770 .'in engineer consulted by i h.- .lUlhoriU -s deepened the River Clyd-- to four or fic fuel righ; up to Cl.-.t- gow at low water, in placa ot t hi- ilcplh of 11 inch.', whii-.h win iu n i- tunl depth. Io-d;iy tin- Clydi- li.n a uniform depth of about 30 feet, and th* tngtfesi liners can be taken to the centre of the city. This much, without which Glasgow could have become neither the shipping nor ship- building cx-ntre it now i, ha.s been achieved at a co,i of something like fifteen millions sterling. Two mil- lions hive I, eeii pi-ni simply in dredg- { during th--- laal fifty years, and there ia now a large fleet of -. ..am- boats with very ingenious machinery, employed in this service. Clyde shipbuilding is now carried on by about forty firms, but more than half the tonnage comes from sir or eight yards. These firm* have each a .special reputation in their trade, une yard being noted for its huge warships and liners, .yiul ti- er for its huge cargo boats, a third for large light pleasure crafL. Be- ginning a lit lie below the Custom station at Sluvisbank, the yards ex- tend on tho right bank of the river lo Dumbarton, and on the left to Port Glasgow and Greenock. At Covan and 1'atrick we aro in the heart of the industry; on the lower reaches of the river there aro, of course, breaks in the fusilade of riv- eting which Hounds so sweetly to the ears ot Glasgow people as the unmis- takable token of "good times." Ac- cording to weight of output, Kussell's yard at Port Glasgow i ,-asily first; according to value, which now-a- days with *) much competition in speed i, qua,, different thing, the Kairfi-ld ind Clydeb.ink yards dis- pute precedence. Dennys', of Dum- barton, are famous for their pleas- ure steamers, and Hendersons', of Meadow:de, for their yachts tho Brittania, th* Meteor, and other fa- mous craft, were built there al- though both yards produce a good nunrber of fine ocean-going ve>seU.

There \* one feature at Dumbarton which is, I believe, unique on the Clyde, if not in nhipbuilding generally. This ia an experimental tank, in which paraffin driven models of the ships to be built are tested for their stability, speed and resistance to the pressure of water. The tank is three hundred feet long and twenty-two fe.et wide, nnd contaias nine feet of water. It is eaid that valuable results in hydro- dynamics have been obtained from these experiments, which aro carried on by specially trained staff An- otli-r interesting feature of Messrs. Dennya' works is the award of pre- miums to the workmen for any im- provement, however small, they may be able lo suggest or effect in tools, machinery or method. FACTS AND FIGURES. In 1861 fifty years after the launch of the Comet th- ou'put on ih' Clyde wias nearly 07,000 tons. In ISUM it re-ached a total of Wfl.Kfc! tons, com- prising 328 vessels. Kn.Minoiis as th-se figures seem, they nevertheless repiesent adeclin- inClydn shipbuild- ing relative totb.- rest of th- country which hii.si.ikeu placn during the last few year*. In 1898 the tonnage launched on tne Clyde was consider- ably less than a third of th- total launched in British waters; in 1880 it actually exceeded one-half. But an elimination of (bo figures clearly shows that the changn in the per- centage, ha.s been brought about by the ad vanc.t of Newcastle, Hartle- IKJO!. SunuVrUnd, Belfast, rather Jh.m by falliug-off on th? part of Glasgow. When utcel was first introduced in 1878. Ihe prestige of the Clyde for ocean liners was at its height. Ac- cording to data given by Mr. Lhivid Pollock, the naval architect, 79 of 138 vessels of 4,000 tons and upwinls wh.ic. h were built beiwe-n IHiM. i lie lireat Kasli-rn'.s year, and 1884 came from yards lx*lwcen Glasgow and (ircuuuck.

A Physician Tell* the Ixuot Amount tm a Healthy Person Scientific Diet lo One Day. A f.mioux physician has made up a new .sysle.m of what neuylu should eat to be healthy. Ha figures t his out in as exact, sciontific way is m engineer calculates how much roal his enginu needs daily. He calculates that a person needs three and one- third pounds of solid food daily. But ilr- knowledge of what weight of food a person should consume a day does not settle t ha diet ques- tiion. which is one of tha moat im- portant things in life to every per- son. A set of thin great physician's diet tables, while not a.* lurious looking as a French chef's table d'hote menu, will result in better digestion. In these tables this physiologist .shows t he different degrees of nour- ishment in the various kinds of meats, cereals, and vegetables. Among meals tn-ef stands at tint head o the list, for its prut"rls. or albuminous qualities, with tho ex- ception of fowl.
