of the brain of Kansas man. The ice
yacht is designed to skim over the frozen
surface of the lakes and rivers, but the
snow has hitherto proven an impossible
expanse, with the exception of the sleigh
and the snowshoes. By the application
of this new idea, however, the snow be-
comes equally under the subsection of
the sportsman in any district where there
is enough of it and where the country is
open enough for it to be undisturbed.
The principle is almost the same as the
ice yacht, but applied to the toboggan.
A large toboggan is made, and the rum
ner-planks are set ten feet apart and are
thirty-two feet long by two feet wide.
Inese rest, OF course, under the tobog-
gan, which is about twenty feet long by
ten feet broad, and is only different from
the ordinary toboggan in the matter of
lee-boards about six inches in height,
which run along each side. The mast is
stepped into wooden "foot," or square
block of wood, and is about twenty feet
in height; to such boat the dimensions
of the boom would be about twenty-five
feet and gaf twelve feet. The boat is u
peculiar one in appearance, but sails well
as soon as crust forms upon the snow.
The one saw last year was fitted at the
masthead with a peculiar bent piece of
stout, flat iron wire, placed to catch
the telegraph wires as a cow
catcher catches an obstruction, and
to lift them up and slide them
over the mast as the boat passes under
meath them. The great reason for this is
that the snow being several feet in depth,
it, of course, decreases the distance be-
tween the wires and the ground, and so
something is necessary to lift them up.
The steering gear of the snow yacht is
simply pole about ten feet in length,
fitted with a broad end, which can be
turned at the will of the pilot, so as to
dig into the snow and so obtain good
purchase, or when running before the
wind, it can be left to trail behind.
These boats sail very fast in good wind,
and are fairly easy to manage, the only
difficulty being found by inexperienced
mariners in putting them about. 1
brought up too suddenly, she will not
get quite round, and will jamb right in
the wind, and unless the occupants have
snowshoes on board, and so can get out
and boost her round, they are likely to
have hard time. Without snowshoes
the weight of the boat will push the men
into the snow, instead of their efforts
moving the boat. 1t will be readily seen
that this boat is simply an adaptation of
the idea of the Fijian in his double canoe,
which is applied to the snow surface in
stead of water. 1t is expected that by
means of the snow yacht the mails on the
Western prairies will this year be de-
livered during several months of theyear
when previously it has been practically
impossible.

breaking boats very slow in an ordinary
breeze, the brains of our builders and in
ventors were devoted to the task of get
ting the highest rate of speed out of a
ten-knot breeze rather than breaking the
record obtained in favorable gale.
The difference between these is like
the record of skater on circular track
and one with the wind behind him. The
latter breaks the record, but the former
wins the race, and that is the aim of the
ice yachtsman.
Several ideas have been tried with
more or less success, the skate blades
have been ground on different patterns
from the old straight t-edged blade, and
instead of the under surface which runs
on the ice being perfectly flat it has been
sshollow ground" that is to say, the
centre of the blade has been more or less
cut away, leaving the outer edges sharper
and harder, so as to diminish the lecway
in reaching, which, of course, increases
the speed by just so much.
Hitherto the sloop rig has been the
popular style, and it is yet believed by
experts to be the fastest and most salts
factory rig known. This year new rig
will be tried, which will be productive of
considerable interest in ice yacht circles.
1t is a modification of the latteen rig of
the Mediterranean feluccas, and the great
advantages claimed for it are that it gives
a great spread of unbroken canvas, is
easier manipulated than the three or
four sails of the sloop, and, better still,
brings the bulk of the sail area and con-
sequent resistance to the wind right down
to the very point which modern sailing
science proves to be most productive of
high speed.
The latteen rig consists of sto1t mast
stepped in the ordinary way, and the
sail is spread upon huge gatf, or boom,
which extends in an arc from the bow Of
the yacht up to the top of the mast and
beyond, the sail covering the whole space
from stem to stern. This rig is one of
the fastest known modern rigs as applied
to ordinary sailing craft, the fcluccas of
the south of Europe being proverbial for
speed, and considerable interest IS felt as
to the result when the good properties of
this rig are fully demonstrated.
The ice boat is not difficult thing to
make, and modification of one that will
sail well may be made by anyone who
knows anything of the carpenters art.
The rest is easy, as any blacksmith will
give estimates FOR a set of three blades,
and, in a city, che hardware store will
obtain quotations and goods from the
makers. Take a dry goods box, about
five feet long and four feet wide, and cut
down to depth of two feet. Clamp
the bottom and the sides of the box with
pieces of iron, so as to make it sufficient
iy strong to bear the strain that will be
put upon it. To the sides of the box
forward attach two planks, which NEE:
at the points, to form bow. These
planks are shaved away so as to present

Inc picture gwen ABOVE is an excel
lent likeness of the psychological enig-
ma" of Madison Square Park, New York
city, who was once famous as lecturer
and debater. He is by many dubbed ga
crank" because he became recluse and
voluntarily dumb. He had not, up to
year ago, it is alleged, conversed with, or
even spoken to adults for many years.
In mild and pleasant weather he spent his
days in Madison Square Park, which he
gave as his address. He never went to
his open air residence without putting
huge bouquet of cheap flowers on the left
lapel of his coat. It is said that he
talked to children, of whom he is very
fond, and bought them playthings like
roller skates, balls, carts and hoops. Be-
fore sunset Train meandered out of the
park to his civilized home at neigbor-
ing hotel. He IS always jotting down
"points" for some great literary bomb
shell, and he floods the papers with his
enigmatical and rambling compositions.
George Francis Train was born IN BOs-
ton, March oath, 1929. In 1888 his
father, mother aud three sisters died of
yellow fever in New Orleans. In 1S42 he
was in college in Cambridge, Mass, and
in 1914 established the Liverpool Packet
firm of Train & Co. He was married
October 5th, 1851. In 1853 he estab-
lished the house of George Francis Train
6 Co., shippers, in Melbourne, Australia,
and during the same year declined the
presidency OF the Australian Republic.
In 1S6O-61 he devoted himself to the in
PRODUCTION of street railways in London,
but not succeeding in this, returned to
America in 1862 and became noted as a
public speaker on the issues Of the day.
Many of his speeches have been pub
Ished, and he has also written various
works, among Others "An American
Merchant in Europe, Asia and Austria
lia," "Young America in Wall street, "
"Spread Eagleism," etc, etc. In 1867
Train was assaulted in Boston, Dayton
and elsewhere, on account of his utter
ances, and an attempt was also made to
assassinate him at Alton, III. He
obtained the original capital, about
$2,OOO,OO0, to construct the
Union Pacific Railroad. In 1864
he organized the Credit Mobilier with a
capital of $4,000, 900, and obtained
donations of land grants for the company
at Omaha. In 1869 he began an active
canvass for the presidency Of the United
States, as candidate for the Grcenback
party. In 1872 he vert to Europe and
delivered many public speeches, and Gu
his return published some alleged obscene
literature and Anthony Comstock put
him in the Tombs. Train was also
adjudged lunatic, but after years
confinement was released. In 1874 he
became the champion of the working
men; quit eating animal food, butter
and condiments. He refused the Green
back Presidential nomination in 1876,
also refusing invitations to lecture. In
1877 he began psychological CONVEX
sations" in Madison Square. 1t was in
this year that he became disgusted, evil

it Except ehildren), and stopped talking
with adults. Train is said to be very
rich, and owns much real estate in
Omaha and other parts of the Vest
Yankee Blade.

SNOW YACHTING.

an upward slant at the apex. Underneath
the box, crosswise, attach plank twenty
feet long with equal projections from the
box on each side. This plank should be
nine inches wide and two inches
in thickness. Lengthwise of the box,
at point midway between lts
sides ana at right angles to the long
plank, fasten another so that it extends
underneath the box backward, to form a
keel and projects from the box rearward
eight inches. In this projection cut a
hole in which to insert the stcrnpost; at
the base of this sternpost is fixed one of
the three skates, while the other two are
fastened at each end of the long plank.
The skates are the bases of support upon
which the craft rests. The stclnpost is
so adjusted that when ruddcr handle is
turned to port or starboard the skate turns
also and directs the course of the boat,
il the same way as would be done by Il
ruddcr. The mast is stepped into solid
foot, which rests upon long plank run
ming crosswise underneath the box, and
this mast is strengthened and steadied by
passing through second piece of plank
ing placed crosswisc on top of the box.
The sail is simply the sail of a catboat,
only made smaller and lighter to suit the
boat. Anyone with any knowledge of
the carpenters art and of the ordinary re-
Quirements Of boat can make an ice
yacht for comparatively few dollars out
side of the first cost of the skates.
One of the most interesting sail inven-
tions of the past year is that of the snow
yacht, which is stated to be the product
