Among the multitudcs OF inventions
that are offered to the public day by
day there are some that commend
themselves to the judgment at first
sight, and fill off-hand 4 iong-felt
want. The electric boat-propcller is
surely n such invention as mention
ed above. 1t has the accumulated adj
~vantages of being cheap, portable
compact and perfectly safe to the
user.
Briefly described, it consists OF m,v-
able tube. hinged at the stern of the
boat, much as an oar Is used in scull.
ing. The tube contains Il flexible shaft
formed of three coils of plosphur
bronze. This tube extends down and
out into the water. where it carries a
propeller, and ut the inboard end an
electric motor is attached, which Is
itself driven by batteries. The ruddcr
and the propeller are thus in one, and
the steering properties of a boat so
fitted would be very swift and power
full.
The tune. with its inclosed flexible
shaft, is partly filed with oil and
these parts are thus automatically
and constantly fabricated. The rate
Of speed is from three to five miles an
hour. The combined propeller. motor
and rudder weighs only thirty-hve
pounds for a ten to eigllteen-foot boat.
The batteries weigh from 100 to 30
pounds, but being in four parts, are
easily handled.
This very ingenious and effective
invention will be gladly welcomed by
the sea and river sportsman. Its
hardness and noisclcsSnesS make it
admirably adapted to duck-slooting:
and it will commend itself at once to
the special needs of the fisherman.
All sportsmcn, at one time or another.
when they have been following the
windings of some narrow stream, or
threading their way through the
mlzes OF Il ruSll-grOwn marsh, have
wished for a means Of propulsion of
smaller compass than a pair of scullS,
or even a canoe paddle. The electric
propeller, working snugly in the wake
OF the boat, is admirably adapted for
such work, or for any circumstances
where Il boat has to be handled in q
crowded wakeway. The running ex-
pcnse amounts to only 5 cents an
hour.

From the following commercial cir.

A novelty in advertising is shown in
a Scotch church. The congregation
could not pay its minister, when a
soap firm offered to pay $500 a year for
five years on condition that it's adver-

Beside the busy way,
Would be the home that Christ would SET
Should he come here today?
Which massive pile of brick or stone
Whose spires point tow I'd the sky
Would be the place where he would go
To pray to God on high?
What well made creed would he select
To recommend to all?
What form of prayer or mode Of song
Would he and his install?

Where idle. hungry men.
Stand discontented clamoring
For work, and then again.

Beside sick child's bed,
Or watch by night with stricken ones.
Who mourn beside their dead
No wretched beggars by the way

That poorest people wear.
