money in tho craft. the Metcor's designer

and took fresh start. He had learned great
deal in his experiment any way and he was
moro convinced than ever before that tho
future of ocean travel would depend largely
upon the utilization OF steam of high pres

strength and economy. and applied to engines
as simple as possible but capable OF standing

aim in machinery equipments. lines as fine
rs those of a. racing yacht were his
ideals for form OF hull. and schedule time of
less than five days across the Atlantic the ulti-
mate object. Mr. Blivcn attributed the failure
OF the Meteor to causes beyond his control. but
he said little about it except to a few near
friends. He knew the boat was q failure. and
rather than make excuses for her or saddle
the responsibility upon others shoulders he
preferred to prove III moro practical way that
no could produce II greyhound of tho seas
worthy the name.
So Mr.. Dliven set to work to study It all out
moro carefully. Scarcely Il night since the
Meteor failure has he gone to bed before
o'clock in the morning He is up again by 8
o'clock. and with about four hours OF sleep he
starts. in on his work Of study. taking only
time during the day to ent his meals and get a
little fresh air. He has kept this sort OF thing
UP for years. and is still in n healthy state OF
mind and body. with plans all made for spring.
