Many who have traveled on the great , trans-Atlantic steamahiDa will' appreciate certain compari sons which an enterprising ohserr- er has figured out, regarding their enormous size. For example, the space inside the Majestic, the larg est of these vessels, ia the equiva lent of 4Q0 detached suburban residences of eight rooms apiece. while her single tonnage more than equals the combined tonnage ofthe entire fleet of the Spanish Armada, which was atself more than double the combined tonnage of the British fleet which sailed against that invincible array. Will the time ever come when vessels of the size of the Majestic will be Bonsidered almost insignificant, as are today the mighty galleons o Queen Elizabeth's time? Chris tian Science Monitor.
