Fig. shows another aspect Of ice-boating
which is almost too awfully jolly to be quite
comfortable to anybody but very strong
minded person. In ice-sailing it is
always necessary to sit on the wind
ward sido of the craft. This is done to
weight it down upon that side; otherwise
the breg 20 might catch the sail and tilt the
whole thing over, and there would be at
once a shipwreck and runaway. Even
when the crew arc thus balanced upon the
windward side a sudden gust sometimes lifts
the iron foot of the cross-tmber upon one
side quite off the ice. Then all the force of
those on board is expended to get it down
again.
But trip on an ice yacht is simply tre-
mondous. How know, l tried it once my
self. It isn't common for a woman to do
that sort Of thing, but l assure you it is
altogether proper. The sport is not 10 lie

Think of going before the wind, the moon
shining alike upon piles oil snow and piles OF
cloud, white, cold and noiseless, like ghost,
the ice gittering all about you, the wind
blowing a gale benin you, and you going
o. a speed which would make your hair
stand on end if you thought about it, which
you don't do. If you are woman, and think
about anything, it is of the good-looking

Ice yachts sail most rapidly when going
across the wind. II the wind is from the
east or west the boat makes the best speed
from north to south, or south to norlh. The
sails are always rugged parallel to the course
of tine boat, as nearly as possible. This is
called sailing 'close hauled, " an it is by this
means that the ice boat can outstrip the
wind which propels it. SARAH KING.

"sunset Cox and the Sultan.

Mr.. Fenrn, Of New Orleans our new min
ister to Greece Roumania and Servia, tells
good story on Mr.. Cox. He went to his
pot at Athens via Constantinople The
sultan cordially accede1 TO Mr.. Cox's re-
quest to give Mr.. Fearn an audience at the
Yildez palace, on Friday, after Salemlik.
There was much worry about these infant
nations and their relations to Turkey, and
Mr.. Cox desired to have our minister to
these states and the porte on gool terms.
After the usual formalities were over the
sultan remarked to Mr.. Fearn:
1T seems to me, Mr.. Minister it must
give you great trouble, labor and travel to
represent your country at three nations SO
far apart from each other
ALLOW me- said Mr. Cox, ito reply for
my friend Your majesty will understand
that Mr. Fearn has not as much to occupy
him with his three kings and two queens as
l have with one king and"
Thereupon Mr.. Cox gave a sudden halt
Visions of innumerable queens in the next
apartments floated before him. The sultan
helped Mr.. Cox out of his dilemma by a
cordial smile which Mr.. Fearn says colored
his cheeks with modesty and frightened his
eye with humor.
Another story on his colleague told by Mr..
Fearn is given below:
In making his calls Of courtesy upon the
minister OF war, Ali Saib Pasha, Mr. Cox
found the minister over head and ears in
dispatches. These Ottoman ministers, how
ever, are always polite. They offer coffee
and cigarettes invariably to our foreign
ministers After partaking of these Mr..
Cox presented his Fluctuations upon the ae-
ce sion of the new minister. After this was
translated into Turkish by the dragoman
and ano her cigarette and coffes, Mr. Cox
said: "When ran for office in a western
agricultural state never talked to a man
at a threshing machine, especially if
wanted his vote" As the minister had just
purchased few American machines and
tested them upon his farms in Asia Minor
he understood. The irrepressible gravity of
the Turk gave way, and he swallowed the
chestnut, .worm shell and all.-New York

THE FupFRA

The inventor of this new combination of
power is John Secor. He has given uch
time and experiment TO the stuly Of the
subject and as complete test of the capa-
bilities of his invention has constructed o
vessel of about 100 feet in length Tho
only difference between her appearance and
ordinary steam craft is that she
appears to have no visible means OF propul-
sion. there is no wheel or paddle 1t is true,
but not far from the stern, on each side, un-
der water, are two square pipes, from which
it is expecte gas will be forced against the
water at pressure exceeding 100 pounds to
the square iuch. The inventor claims that
Ne can develop continuous pressure of fif-
teen tons against the water from the mouth
Of each PIPE. II this proves to be fact the
vessel will move through the water at an un-
heard-of speed, and without the jar and
tremor. that usually accompanies our present
methods of propulsion.
Explosive engines Of various kinds are
being used successfully for many purposes
now, but the tiiethod of increasing the force
by exploding a compound in Compressed air
and releasing the tremendous pressure to
exert itself against the water is the novelty
in Mr.. Secors Invention. If successful, this
principle can only be applied 10 navgation,
