Where Children Waded “Aquitanias” Float “The plan worked. The pitifully eagre two-foot depth of those days| ad become § feet by 1826, 22 feet by 1900, and is now 26 feet—suffictent to accommodate the huge modern ocean liners. J)'icks, wielded by wad- ing men started the loosening of the river bottom in the old days; then came horse drawn harrows. In late years explosives and the most mod- ern of steam dredges have helped keep the channel to its depth.

Just as trading in the spices of the East made Venice wealthy, so trading in tobacco from the American colonies brought great wealth to Glasgow. The profits were put into more ships and the eity soon was independent of Amerlea and | § was trading lucratively with the whole world, “Industrially, it might be said that ‘Glasgow made the steam engine, and the steam engine made Glasgow.' James Watt made his great inven- tion at Glasgow university. A years after Robert Fulton's ‘Cler- mont’ had made its first trip on the Hudson, the first steamboat in Europe was operated on the Clyde at Glas- gow. Coal and iron ore were develop- ed near by. Blast furnaces and ma- chine shops came. Now Glasgow, hav- | § ing madz her river, built her ships, equipped them with ‘made-in-Glas- gow' machinery, and bunkered them with Glasgow coal, sends them to the ends of the earth to reap profit for the old home town."
