der that viii startle the world Tie boat
consists mainly OF wood, ana is fifty feet
long and eight in diameter. The shape
suggests cigar. The head is designed to
constitute sharp ram, which, when driven
by the prodigious strength contemplated
will perforate the iron plating of a ship.
and then, by retrograde motion, quickly
withdraw itself. This ram looks like the
snout of a hog, built of steel, and has
peculiar edges of sharp surfaces, intended
to facilitate its operations On top of the
craft and in lis center is a small iron tIir-
ret surrounded with little electric lights TO
aid in steering. Between this turret and
ram at the head is an aperture, at the
mouth of which is a dynamite gun, this
being hidden from view. Directly over the
gun and situated on the deck Of the vessel
is sharp, thin piece of steel 1t
is intended to use this to cut hole
in small craft or other torpedo-boats
by rising suddenly from underneath them
and piercing them. The inventor claims
that he can destroy vessel by rising rap
idly in the manner described as easily as
by darting along horizontally and punctur.
ing its side. The rear of the boat is con-
structed like an ordinary propeller. Its
machinery is in every sense double there
being twin screws, two engines, etc After
punching a hole in the side or bottom of an
enemy, it is claimed for the torpedo boat
that it can, after retiring to a distance fire
dynamite into another vessel as often as
may be necessary. To discharge or project
dynamite the boat merely shows its turret
for few seconds, and never comes up at
the same point twice. II will be impossi-
bic for an enemy to bear a gun on it sue
cessfully, even if it were exposed in its ell
tirety. In the new vessel many features of
asv .inl t-,r.r ,1.,s
are: Accuracy of movement and certainty
of destruction, safe concealment from the
view of the enemy when desired. an ability
10 move faster under water, make greater
distance without rising to the surface, and
project dynamite further than ever hereto
fore demonstrated.

Scant Courtesy Complained of.
NEW YORK, August 3lst.-Yachtsmen here
complain of the scant courtesy aud super
cilious air of superiority shown by The
owners of the Genesta, in preparing for the
coming race, refusing to allow any points

though tn" Americans could teach them
nothing. They took good care to see for
themselves just what the Puritan could do.
After all the talk about blood being thicker
than water between the two countries,
there appears TO be not much determination
among American and English yachtsmen.
Those who pretend 10 know the Genesja's
ana rough sea the Puritan has scarcely a
chance against her.
