A well-known shipbuilding firm in the north of England is at the .present timie building a vessel which will be carried to Africa -in portions. It will be re-assenibled at its -ultimate desti nation, e Every .,year -ships -are built in Great Britain for -use on lakes -and Inland waters in all.parts of the world. Usu 'ally these are built and bolted togeth er in the -shipyard 'before being -taken to pieces and sent -to distant parts in separate ,packages. A large mission -steamer built some years ago 'for use -on Lake Nyassa, in Africa, was -erected -in England -as if for launching; . But no rivets were used ; bolts and nuts held the steel framework -together. The .'des, port and starboard, were painted in differ ent colors, -and -every bar, plate, and pilece of -steelwork bore a different number an( 'letter. Thus the builders in Africa could tell at a glance whether a plate be longedl g one side or' the other; the exact position it was int,ended 'to oc. cupy was denoted by' the reference number and letter. . In orper -to facilitate transport, this steamer was divided Into over three thousand packages, each of which weighed from'half a hundredweight to five hundredweights. The greatest difficulty encountered in sending these ships abroad Is with the bol'ers and masts. The boilers weigh many tons, and the masts are difficult to handle on account of their length.

Anyone can marry-anyone, every. one !-if they have a business man aiger who knows the business. Since the war, in France, weddings have doubled, births increased and deaths declined in the most astonish Ing manner. Now, as all know, marriage does not necessitate a business manager-the 'old ihelter-skelter way of falling in love by hilzard will undoubtedly con tinue, very much in vogue; but if anyone imagines that marriage Is not moving with the times and yielding to business organization, they know little of what is happening in France today! Never before have girls done such marrying in France-with available bridegroois so reduced in number! What is more, this organized promo -tion of marriage gives every girl a chance-despite handtcaps of unnc: quaintance, social disadvantage, plain looks, lack of money, lack of family. lack of pushing friends to aid the match. Your business manager's your push Ing friend! Helps girls to marry? Helps men, also. Perhaps even, more so. . . You will object. And romance?
