AN ILLINOIS "RUDDER GRANGE"
One Way Of Spending Pleasant Sum.
mer Is to Buy Il Canal Boat

There is one family of Washington
ians-a retired army officers who are
going TO experiment this year with
Frank StOcktOn'S ''Rudder Grange
conceit and at the same time take in
the Worlds Fair. They are to visit a
relative who spends his summers in 4
hOuSe-bOat on the kankakee river. Ia
Illinois. Several years ago. after hav-
ing been fairly worn out with the bad
accommodations at conventional sum-
mer resorts, this gentleman made up
his mind to be perfectly independent
form that time forward.
He accordingly bought a canal boat
and had it fitted up with every domes
tic comfort. Next, he bought Il lot of
land large enough for playground and
horticultural purposes, on the border
Of this river. Every spring the boat is
taken out OF its winter quarters, towed
to the summer dwelling place and there
made fast to the shore. A gardner
puts this culliyable land in order and
plants it literally with the vegetables
of the season, So that all summer long
the cook has only to step ashore and
dig potatoes right out of the ground
or help herself to beans and peas,
radishes and onions galore. If the
family gets restless amid-SeaSOn and
| wants a change, it is perfectly simple
thing to hitch up the horses and tow
the boat along to some other spot fol
a short stay, and it is equally easy t.
return at an hours notice. This sum
mer, both host and guests will make
daily trips into Chicago when the
weather is fine, and visit the Expo

A WONDERFUL BOAT.
1t Can Make Eight Miles an Hour
Through Two Feet Of Ice

1t Can Make Eight Miles an Hour
Through Two Feet of Ice.
The most wonderful ice-crushing
steamboat in the world has been set
aside by one still more wonderful, SAYS
the New York Sun. Like the first one,
it is built TO carry trains of cars across
the Straits of Macknac from Mackinaw
City to st. Ignace, Mich, in connection
with the Duluth, South Shore and At
lantic Railroad, along the southern
shores Of Lake Superior.
In those straits the ice in winter is
prodigiously thick, and when there is
not Il solid bridge of clear blue ice over
the water there is apt to be a wedge
of drifting ice. The ferry-boat that
carry the heavy trains across this
piece of water are obliged to- be power
full fighters, and they are built in u
peculiar way to do their fighting, Their
bows, which are as solid and strong as.
Il naval ram, are built to slope inward
and downward, so that the boats climb
up on the ice and break or crush it
down. The enormous weight of the
hS"SSe bSsie, tliS SIS. -h'illC, "lliSu
a,OOO,O00 pounds, will crush any ice
that it rests upon. Under the bow is
Il prOpeller-screW, which not only pulls
the boat ahead but sucks the water out
from beneath the ice in order that the
ice may be more easily broken.
Then, again, the screw sucks the
broken ice away and casts it behind as
the boat pushes its way along. This
new boat cost more than a third of a
million of dollars. She can carry eigh-
teen Loaded cars on her three tracks
and can make fifteen miles an hour.
Her side planks are six inches thick,
and the sides Of the vessel are nearly
three feet thick toward the bottom of
the hull She is all coated with one
quarter inch steel except at the bow
and stern where the steel plates are
two inches thick The two ends of the
boat are almost solid timber, to make
a battering-ram of her. Her bow screw
is smaller than in the stern, but with
both. at work she can make eight miles
an hour Through solid blue ice two
feet thick and when she encounters
soft or drift ice ten feet thick her for
ward screw will bore through it and
hurl! it out of the way without it's,
greatly impending her progress.

body. to use Lady Aberdeen's own
words, is to open up the market and
form new trade connections where
they are required. We think it is not

desirable end has already been attain

have already said, certain to further

IRISH INDUSTRIES,
The Countess of Aberdeen Personally
InSpectS Them.

Freeman's Journal, Dublin, July %.
Yesterday the countess Of Aberdeen
visited the convent and local indus
tries in the towns of Monaghan and
Drogheda, and thus concluded her
tour of inspection Of the industries
of the west and north of Ireland Her
ladyship had spent busy day on Tues
day in Derry. 1t is satisfactory to
learn that in contrasting the machine
work with the hand work of the
peasants the countess of Aberdeen
found that the latter had many points
of superiority. AS she justly said at
Srabane on Tuesday there must al
ways remain definite place for home
industries, no matter to what perfec-
The work of the hand can never be
properly superseded by machinery, and
consequently a brisk demand for it
will continue Indeed, as far as we
gather from Lady Aberdeen, the de-
mand at the present moment exceeds
the supply, and the Irish Industries
association is naturally unwilling to
IaihC o1uSIS tHOg hoNC SOl1lc
guarantee that they can be speedily
supplied. It was mainly with view
to estimating the extent to which the
Industrial movements had spread in
the remOter districts of the west of
Ireland that the countess of Aberdeen,
with characteristic energy and unset
fshness, undertook with such marked
success. It is impossible to question
the advantage which this personal in
spection by a lady of unbounded en-
thusiasm and wide experience must
prove to our local industries. It will
put her ladyship, and through her the
Irish Industries association, in touch
with all the ramifications of the in
dustria1 movement, and enable them
to gauge the amount of work they
can legitimately undertake and the
measure of success for which they may

A DEAD BEE.

Silent in a lily tent,
Dead the bandit lies;
Over him the white leaves bent,
Shutting out the skies.
Clad in all his shining gold,
When the soft wind blows
You may see him here-the bold
Robber Of the rose.
Strange the fate that brought him
here
Thus to die amid
All the honey-plunder dear
In this lily hid!
Yet how just il seems, that he,
Folded in this bloom,
Sleeps in death-a honey-bee
Within a honey tomb!

Dimitri WaffilgeWitch Grigorowitsch
came before the public in 1913 with a
short story of Russian official life 1t
was at once recognized by the then
well-known critic Bjelinskif as a work
of art. Since then he has written many
tales, true and excellent pictures of
Russian village and peasant life, which
had some share in bringing ABOUT the

at British ignorance and proceeded to
preach a severe Sermon in the Debats
