YACHT DESIGNED LIKE A SALMON.
Unique Vessel Being Built at RaIti-
more for Jacob LoriIIard.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 24.-There is a yacht
rapidly nearing completion in Baltimore
winch IS expected to perform wonders in the
way OF speed. Jacob Lorillard and his son
Ernest, who live on Throgg's Neck, are build
ing the yacht and it is understood that she
is to be fitted with rotary gas motor the
invention Of e. w. Prall, of Washington.
The striking feature of the boat is that she
is built on the lines of salmon. To get this
peculiar construction it is said that several
sections were taken from a big salmon and
the Lines followed in building the hull of the
yacht She will be so feet over all and 8
feet beam. Her sides are to be covered with
red cedar planking three-fourths of an inch
thick, fastened to clear-grained white oak.
She will be divided by several watertight
bulkheads, which will reach foot above fhe
water line. ~
The yacht, it is said, will be propelled by
single screw. The weight of the motor
and all its appliances is not to exceed / 200
pounds. Mr.. Prall says he can produce
motor within the specifications which will
develop between 700 and 1 000-horse power
The designers of the yacht expect her to be
the fastest boat of her class ever put into
the water.
From all that can be learned about Mr.
Lorillard's new yacht, 1t would appear that
she Is built upon similar lines to those Of the
steamship Howard Cassard which was over
200 feet long. The Cassard was a total fail
ure. The lack Of beam made 1t necessary to
place all her machinery below water line
and the cramped space made it impossibIe *
design engines which would give the neces-
sary amount Of power Mr. Tnr,IIard'e
yacht may prove success, and If she does
she will be a great credit to her designers
as she Is built upon ideas at total variance
with all methods of modern yacht designers,

RHEUMATISM.
Torture and Agony are It's Attendants, In
Addition to this, the Fear of
Sudden Death.

Rheumatism, as is well known, IS caused by
acids existing in the blood, due to poisonous
secreti0nS from some of the great life centres
of the body; which, if not counteracted and
carried off increases from day to day, causing
the sufferer endless pain, until the disease
finally reaches the heart, where, by sudden
contraction the end is suddenly reached. The
cure for this terrible affection is in every
instance Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. 1t acts
directly on the stomach liver and kidneys,
promoting perfect action of these organs. In
addition it pu'tfeS the blood, which thus
performs its natural function of nourishing the

gers on a Rainy Evening.

A limits theatre car was filled With

body looked glum and detected
AS the car swung into the tunnel q,
Dig man, wearing a silk hat and

he gathered impetus as the car started

down as though the ribs were broken.
He gazed at it sadly for a moment
and muttered half under his breath:

guess it's the one she got for a we'd
ding present hun'erd years ago. Mus

Then he unscrewed the handle and
put 1t in his pocket. Next he drew out
one Of the ribs and folded it up like a
jack knife. BY this time everybody in
the car was regarding him with amuse-
ment and decided interest
When he had extracted all the ribs
and folded them up, he drew out the
rod, folded the cover neatly into a
package less than a foot long, and put
ting 1t with the handle, rod, and ribs
into a snugly fitting case stuck into
his pocket.
He again attached himself to a strap.
and sWayed back and forth with the
movement Of the car, apparently oblivf-
GUS to his surroundings until the con-
ductor called Schiller street, when he,
drew out his case, rapidly adjusted the
umbrella frame, drew on the cover,
screwed the handle fast, and bovine
politely to the passengers, dropped Off
the car.

pie in the car five minutes to make
up their minds that the man was en-
tirely sober, and was simply calling at

Inc exploding chamber Is the heav-

ed OF steel and in it the powder ex-
plodes as 1t comes from the maya zine
through the feeder. AS the exDlos;on
occurs a gaseous smoke is generated
which acts much the same as steam
IN that it operates the piston head Of
the driving rod within the CYLINDER
one end Of which is connected
with the exploding chamber. AS the
volume of this gaseous smoke is in
creased the action Of the rod is pro-
portlonalIy increased, and an increase
OF speed results. To avoid any possibiI-
lty OF the explosion Of the gases gener-
ated by the powder there is a valve at
the top Of the exploding chamber
through which the excess of gas is au-
tomatically allowed to escape.
The speed Of the machine to a Ger
tam extent regulates the action Of the
valves in the supply chute. This is a.
small thumb-screw in the chute which
adjusts the angle of the back Of the
chute, forcing it nearer the valves
or increasing the speed as the rider
may wish. A rod working from the
rear wheel to the chute opens and
closes the valve as the wheel revolves.
and thus allows the powder to escape
from the magazine.
When starting the powder is expIoG-
ed first by cOncusssion. The rod is
forced down, the valves in the chute
are opened and a cap within the cham
Der is exploded, causing the machine to
start. Just the reverse operation
brings the machinery to a stop. The
drawing upward Of the rod closes the
valve, causing the flow Of powder to
cease, and as no more gaseous smoke
can be generated, the machine comes
to a gradual stop. To make a sudden
stop the ordinary brake is used
