When the Grand Duke Nicholas and
other Russian officers were guests of
John Jacob Astor last May a. his resi-
dence on the Hudson they were greatly
pleased with their hosts electric launch,
and soon after the grand duke ordered
two electric launches os the same pat
tern as that designed for the New
York.
The Dimitri Donskoi had orders to
take the two launches on board, but it
was found that they could not be COM
pieted in time for the flagship'S sailing,
and it seemed that the grand duke was
heard of the plight of the Russian ad-
miral, whereupoE he offered to let the
Russians have the launch built for the
New York. The offer was gladly &C
cepted.
The launch is 30 feet long, 6 feet 10
inches beam and % inches draft. She
has speed of eight miles an hour for
five or six hours. with one set of storage
batteries. and can make much faster
time tor fewer hours.
Her motive power, SiXty-fOur storage
batteries and tho motor, are placed un-
der the cockpit. The operation of the
boat is exceedingly simple. 1t is con-
trolled by small lever switch. the only
Itlccc oL iidCllHcTy i'll SiSut, DIT the sue
of the wheel, which is located forward.
This lever allows of four different
rates of speed. Particularly noticeable
features of the electric boat are the
noiSelesSneSS OF the motor and the alb
sence of any vibration except under the
highest speed obtainabe. The boat is
built of seasoned white oak, planked
with selected white cedar, copper
fastened The decks are Of mahogany.
The cockpit will seat twenty persons,
while the weight of the boat is only
$500 pounds.
This is the first time in thirty years
that foreign power has had craft of
any kind built in America

little on the boat. but it evidently was
only a squire, for the boat again
gained. When Robinson's Point was
reached the whale took the inside
course, and it was feared it would run
ashore and so end the race. To prevent
this the Flyer kept off shore so as to al
low 1t plenty of sea room in rounding
the point. By reason of taking the out
side course after the point was rounded,
the whale had gained consider
ably OH the boat, but it was evil
dent from the erratlc movements
of the leviathan that it was fast
becoming tired out. and that it would be
only matter of a lew miles more when
the monster would have to acknowledge
defeat. About half q mile from Pulley
Point the whale and boat were side by
side, and the excitement among the
passengers was intense. women and
children Joining in the wild and Vigor-
Gus yelling. Bets, which at the begin
ming OF the race were offered thai the
whale would do up the boat.
were all withdrawn. and no one could
be found who would risk 10 cents OH
his whaleship. When Pulley Point was
passed the boat was ahead fully six
lengths, and five minutes after passing
tile Point the greatest race on record
was ended, the man had constructed to
sail on top of the water boat that could
outrun the -swiftest denIzens of the
deep.
A passenger that came up on the boat
that crossed the Flyers track reported
seeing dead whale near Pulley Point.
Whether or not this was the remains of
the whale that raced the Flyer has not
yet been verified, but it is quite probable
that the race the boat gave it may have
proved fatal.

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
Stockings Had Been Named After
Him and There Was Trouble.

New York Tribune.
MAN in the Moon" stockings are the
latest eccentricity. They come in all
colOrs, but perhaps the most startling
are those III which the groundwork is
black. the moons bright orange and the
features outlined in each stocking with
black thread. These moon faces are
half an inch i'll diameter at the toe OF
the stocking, and they increase in size
from there up to the knee.
A certain young woman saw pair of
these stockings hanging In the window
OF Broadway shop. At the time she
was too busy to buy them, but week
later she went down town again and
entered the establishment where she
supposed she had seen them. She
avoided the salesman and induced a
tweiye-year-old errand boy to wait on
ner. She felt ashamed of herself tor
caring 20 buy such peculiar hosiery.
The boy informed her that she had
come to the wrong place: it was not
that particular shop that she had seen
the stockings, as they had never kent
them. SO she started to leave; but Just
as she reached the door that dreadful
boy called to her:
Say, lady, you can get those Man ID
the Moon stockings ats, block
below here -
The poor girl rushed out, while the
clerks and customers in the place smiled
at her confusion.
However, she went to IS, and at
the stocking counter she saw half a
dozen statesmen and one woman clerk.
She asked the woman to show her plain
black hose, as the men were standing
nearby and she didn't like to ask for the
Pair after pair of plain stockings were
rejected. Some were too thin. some
were too thick; none suited her.
Finally the statesmen were engaged
with other customers; then she leaned
over the counter, and in a confidential
whisper asked the woman to show her
Man in the Moon" stockings.
AlaSi The woman turned, and in an
overload voice called TO one of the men
and asked him if any of that especial
kind of hose were TO be had. He hunted
out boxful and held up one particular
glaring pair for the wouid-be pur-
chaSer'S benefit.
/ She blushed and wondered what the
OnlookerS would think of her taste.
Then an idea occurred 10 her:
+ Those will do nicely" she said: Il
think they'll be- very effective on the
stage. don't yeu%'
She preferred TO be taken for ballet
dancer rather than have any one sup
pose her well-bred young person of
outrageous tastes.
She bought the stockings, and then
discovered that she hadn't money
enough to pay for them. so she had to
give her name and address in order to
have them sent to her home. She has
been living in terror ever since, lest
through the indiscretion of some of
those statesmen ruIHor be started that
she Is about to go on the stage, in the
ballet.

reached the surface the inflated skin
came up and told somewhere near the
point of his temperance.
When the big black shining skin
showed above the water there were two
canoes near enough 10 sink each short
shaft into its exposure. As the wounded
monster felt the incision he again dis
appeared, but he had SIX skins to drag
down instead of two this time, and the
blood which spurted from his sides, col
orlng the water for quite distance.
told how well the native muscle and
skill had co-Operated.
Again the Indians raced over the
water, but this time the whale re-
manned longer under and went further.
He had Out-traveled the hunters and.
despite their frantic efforts, sank again
before they came near him. But he
evidently did not like the load of air he
took bottomW ward, for he soon came up.
Fortune favored the natives, for still
another lance, TO whose line were three
skins, attached. plunged-into his side.
The furious fish now failed to sound
and, as the canoes came up and circled
about, his great tail came down, catch
Ing one, breaking it into pieces, IN some
unaccOuntable way sending fragment
into the side of one Indian and breaking
the arm of another. But it was evident
that the battle was nearly done. for the
water was literally incarna0ined with
the life flow of the whale, and as spear
after spear found its way into the sides
and back his efforts to escape ceased
altogether. Finally, with a last attempt
to wreck further vengeance on his pur-
Suers, the big fish lay dead on the water.
When the whale was found to be dead
the five canoes circled, each one three
times. about the inert mass of blubber
and bone. the occupants chanting sort
of song, to which time was kept by their
dipping paddles.
In the excitement of the perSuit and
the battle no attention had been paid to
the flight of time nor the direction of
the chase. We were out Of sight of land
and the sun was trailing a splendid
pathway across the ocean down toward
the rim of the sky. The hunters were
skilled i'll endurance and thoroughly ac-
quainted with the ocean. They made
their lines ali fast to the whale, and
some of them slept while others
watched. The following morning be-
fore day dawn the biz light of Tatoosh
island was seen, and as day came on
the bold prOmOntorY of the coast was III
view.
The tide sets in-shore off the mouth OF
the outlet of Puget sound; breeze had
sprung up, and. with mutton-iag sails,
which the Indian always carries in his
canoe, aided by their paddles. our little
fleet approached the shore ten miles
north from its point Of departure. In
the afternoon the whale was anchored
at high tide, and when the ocean reced-
ed the natives set to work and carved
up their prize. The first sportsman had
first choice, and so on. 1t was a law that
division should be made in this order.
Little. big, old and young Toasted almost
to bursting. Nor were the Indians at all
particular as to the preparation. Whale
blubber, including the skin, was eaten
raw. Little naked children were quite
as happy with mouth filed with black
raw skin as San Francisco u.chin with
jaws maSticating watermelon.
