A THIRTY-FIvE POUND boat.
Run by Electricity and n Handy
Thing for an Outing.


The coming summer will certainly
be the most active season efer known
in this country among the
manufactures Of electric steam
launches. There is a sickness about
the electric launch which makes those
who possess it VOW they would never
go back to steam or naphtha. one
important factor in its popularity is
that women like it. for they can wear
the daintiest dress throughout the
longest summer day without fear OF
dirt or sOiling when the motive power
is the silent. unObtrusiYe cell. hidden
away out Of sight.
II is not every one is able to afford
an electric launch. but every one who
owns rowboat or sailbOat can,
at but slight expense, tit il up so as to
to be electrically propelled. Several
devices for this purpose have been
lately invented. One of these is a
detachable motor and propeller. The
whole thing weights only 80 pounds.
and it is worked by batteries placed
under the stern seat
The moter and propeller wheel are
supported upon a movable tube. fiexi-
bly, Connected with each othcr.and the
tube has an attachment for adjusting
1t to various forms Of boats In the
same manner and with the same ease
th1t a rubber is shaped This pro
duces combined propelling and steer.
ing mechanism. entirely superseding
any form for rubber for steering
purposes.
1t is so easily carried and adjusted
that it Is sure to be in request
among hunters and tourists in the
mountain lake regions, as well as
among bOatmen in general. There is
something very seductive to the
summer loafer in the idea of being
able TO row his skif until he is tired
and then to let the boat paddle its
own way back while be enjoys his
smoke and well-earued rest. Another
form of electric rubber has been
brought out in England, which weight
about 10 pounds.
1t is combined with a propelling
apparatus, which can be attached to
or detached from al ordinary boat
or canoe in new minutes. without
the necessity of altering the vessel

one-third the price Of an ordinary

A sea story from San Francisco says
that the coal laden ship Wachausett
recently encountered gale, with high
cross seas running. During the height
of the gale a terrible wave came down
upon the vessel, sweeping her full
length. Four seamen were washed
overheard. The four men were carried
some distance off, only to be swept
back to the vessel again by tremen-
dous cross sea. Three of them were
violently thrown upon the deck. The
fourth man was washed within reach
OF the lower sheet, which had dipned
to the rolling craft. He grabbed It.
held fast, and was hauled safely on
board. 1t is difficult to say whether this
story should have been sold to a scan
factory or a dealer in cosmetics. II
seems to be strongly impregnated with
lie and certainly it is the greatest wash
ever offered to the American people.

A clergyman in California prayed
publicly for woman holding a city
office, and she sued him for SANDER
and secured verdict. The court ruled
that public petitions of this character
intimated too plainly that the individ-
ual prayed for stood in need of such
prayers and that discretion was as nee
essary in praying as in other affairs
OF life. "A little louder, please" said
man to minister who was opening
public meeting with prayer. Il arp

reply. If the Jealous Californian con-
tinues praying for this woman it will
be SO that only one person can hear

The death Of a switchman from heart
disease suggests the possibility Of a
dreadful tragedy. A man who was
acting as switchman was found dead
in his shanty, with some Of the switches
out Of order. He had died suddenly
before he had replaced the switches as
they should be, and it was only because
he was discovered before a train was
due that a casualty was averted. Moth
ing the dramatic author can devise
could make a stronger and more SEN
sational situation than a misplaced
switch, an on-coming fast passenger
train and a switchman dead at his
post.

letter from Yokohama to the New York

is for country; everything for the noble
emperor" He also gives many Incl

OF the Japanese soldiers anxious to die
for their country, and parents reioic-

sons killed in battle. 1t is not surpris-

people in their war with China. They
