To decide upon what class OF sailing
boat is most suitable to the amateur
boat builder is a very difficult question,
because 1t throws open wide field of
work. But it must be q small boat,
otherwise it would be out Of the range
of an amateurs workshop. A center
board, yard rigged boat would be tile
most useful craft for an amateur, as that
style OF rig is safer, and CAD be handled
by one person, and, further, 1t is not ex-
pensiye to Construct. The following di-
inensioDs will make q very handy boat,
and will afford the amateur an opportunity
TO display his skill in designing.
A GOOD BOAT.
1 have made one like 1t myself. and
sailed it on every big river, FROM the
Thames and the Rhine TO the Hudson and
the Mississippi. 1t is q center board,
such as have sailed the big races, but is
built upon a more modest plan.
Length over all, 8 feet; water line, 4;
beam, 5 feet; depth at bow and amid
ships, feet 8 inches; depth at stern, 2
feet inches; midship frame from bow,
feet inches. Fig. shows sheer plan
with sails set: Fig. 2 is the deck plan, and
shows the boat will be decked for six feet
from the bow.
Iu the first place, the keel and stem and
stern posts must be made; the keel should
be OF elm, 4 feet long, 8 inches square
in the center, tapering to inch at bow and
stern. a slot must be cut in the widest part
OF the keel 8 feet inches by l inch, for
the center board, which should be 12 inch
boiler plate, shaped as in figure.
The construction OF the center board
box is shown in Fig 3. The stem and
stern posts should be of oak; let the
stem be at right angles with the keel
and stern post rake aft about eight de-
grees. Red pine is the best pIauking,
l-2 inch thick; should be ready planed
TO save labor When the curve is rot
great the planking can be laid on with
out strainiug with the help OF couple
OF iron screw clamps. The knees for the
Ore-foot shoald be bolted in, not nailed or
crewed. A 1 2 inch rabbit or groove is cut
on either side ttop) OF the Keel for the first
streak to fit into. Each side of he steru-
post b. Fig. 4, just above the rabbit a
timber will be bolted. as shown by c, 1-2
inches thick and 3inches deep, and connect
ed 10 the sternpost A.
EXACT CONSTRUCTION.
But before the timber C Is bolted on
a piece OF I-2 inch plank must be fitted
on the side of the sternpostto form the wo
sides OF the rudder-post trunk.
The frames on which the boat has TO be
built must now be made These ribs or
tinlbers should be made with scarf-joint
figure. Better to cut each piece from solid
wood soas 10 have a athOrough grain as much
as possible, and this is a good rule TO follow
all through your building operations Have
your wood solid as possible
When all cut out and Joined together.
bolt them firmly to the keel These ribs
should be 1 1-2 inches thick by inches
extra strong inches by 2 z inches.
The morning times., 1896-06-21
BETTER HAVE YOUR SAILS DONE BY A A|LMAKER
Like Ratseys Trousers, Your Sails Never Fit and
Will Be Just Dingy White.
AMBITIOUS AMATEURS CAN HAVE A HOME NAVY

1t is usual to put the pIankins on in
three or four lengths, but in a small
boat OF this size a good deal of 1t may
go on in one, but 1T may be Necessary
to use more on the curves. After the
boat is planked and all the nails removed,
the temporary frames come out and the
rest OF the floors are put in. The decks
may now be laid for the foredeck. Trains
must he put in to support it, two trans
verse and one longitudinal across the
center, 2 inches by 1 1-2 inches, the
decks of 1inch spruce. grooved.
LAST TOUCHES.
Now the hull must be calked with pitch
and oakun. Red lead may be used where
the joints are very small. An outside gun
vale streak OF oak, 1-2 inch by inches,
must now be put on. The rudder must be
made as in Fig. Q, two rudder rings
having been riveted on the stem-post to
receive the pins on the rudder, both of
which can be bought ready-made. The
boat is now ready for painting, rigging,
etc.
Fig. l illustrates the sails, which had
better be made by a sail-maker, unless
the amateur has had experience. The
mast stands IL feet above deck and the
same in shape as Fig. 1 dimensions. It
may be 1-2 inches ut the top, inches
at the deck and A inches at the step;
bowsprit should be 2 feet lond.
The mizzeDmast may he feet above the
deck and the sail what is known as leg o.
may be 4 inches in diameter. tapering off
mutton in shape; the gaff for the mainsail
a little toward the end. The sail-maker
will give the correct size of all the sails.
Homemade sails never. in my experience.
fit very well, and they cost within i
dollar of what you would have to pay a
sail-maker. He will guarantee a good sit-
This will make n good boat, which will
prove a good sea boat and a good sailer,
If given about three to four hundred
pounds of ballast and can be easily man
aged by one man. and no man of ortii-
nary means wants a boat he cannot n.ln
age himself

Our animal Friends
Perhaps the most entertaining of all
sea birds are the gulls. of which several
species may commonly be met with, chiefly
along the coasts. Gulls. as n rule, find
flight more difficult than other birds
which We have described. They keep close
70 the ship, and whel they are accustomed
periodically to beat over certain path
their wits become sharpened and they
afford no end OF amusement to the passen-
gers. A crowd OF gulls will follow a

carelessly picked this up, and. almost

on the Leon. After him come Carlos

buster OF which you hear now on her
latest expedition.
The sixth venturer was Francisco Garlic
Jose Maris Aguirre last November, and
in the same month Torres y Pujals ar
rived with a schooner laden with things
to fight with. He very materially helped
the Cuban cause. After the quiet of the
winter, and when the coasts opened freely
again Enrique CalloZO took the eigl:h
successful filibustering boat and crew
down in March, three months ago, loaded
mostly with rifles.
LIST OF FILIBUSTERS.
And now, money being more plentiful,
filbusters began to go faster and faster.
Braulio Pena sailed on the Three Friends
that same month-March-and five days
later Calixto Garcia went on the Bermuda,
sister ship to the Laurada, with sup
plies-food and drink, for vegetation is
killed.
The Competitor, commanded by Juan
Monzon, was successful in April, and in
May-last month--JuanF Fernandez Ruz flew
to Cuba with the Laurada again.
The Three Friends was the thirteenth
boat, and her phenomenal success BAN
ished from the Cuban mind all thoughts
of unlucky "thirteen.''
The men who have led these expeditions
are now either all fighting in Cuba or CT
ganizing other filibustering expeditions to
go TO Cuba again. They contemplate equip
ping the Cuban towns with machinery and
all the necessaries of civilization. even To
looms for weaving and mills for carrying
on home manufacture. Their plan is that
when the war is over Cuba will find herself
in posses Of fine cities with established
plants for supporting her people.
Whether the will succeed as fully sthey
hope or not is another question They are
the most daring men of modern times and
their firm faces and fiery eyes show n
spirit that has Liberty, with large L.
back of it
BY their aid the Cubans have crept so
well up into Cuba that most of the island
is theirs. In spite of the crown and throne
and credit behind the Spanish end of the
island. And by their aid the Cuban part of
the. island has now its telegraph lines, its
hospitals. its arsenas, its military stores
and even its railroads. The filibuster is
the uncrowned hero of Cuba and his name is
mentioned with lowering OF the head
which we give heroes.
The early history of every country shows
its martyr list. but there is no history that
shows braver one than these who are
now filibustering for Cuba Libre.

Enthusiastically to them abOutother women.
This is one of the most artificial of yawns.
It has not even the pretense OF reality about
It.
The most essential difference between the
real yawn and the assumed one is that the
former is contagious and the later is not.
One has only to indulge in this physical act
uDwittingly in street car to see it pass up
one side and down the other. The minority
of those who follow the first example do 1t
without noticing where the Initiative came
FROM or that they are following it On the
other hand, an artificial yawn begins and
ends with the person who perpetrates it.
