DETROIT, Mich, July 1.-THE fourth
day of the Blue Ribbon races was not
largely attended owing to the threatening
weather Shortly before the hour for
starting a heavy shower struck the city.
At the track it only sprinkled enough to
lay the dust. To-days races were slow.
In the four-year-old pacing event the bay
geding Agitato opened up a warm favorite.
but lost the first heat TO Eyelet. Dustin,
who drove Agitato, was replaced in the
next three heats by Dckerson, who won
the race easily. The event of the day was

lation 2A class, trotting, for n0n-winners
of the main STAKE, for a purse of $1,000.
All the horses that started in Tuesdays
race and were losers of the big stake
started with the exception of The Abbott,
whose owner would not race her more than
once a week. OF the thirteen starters
Octavia was a hot favorte. She lost the
first heat to Mosul finishing fifth. Dick
Wilson drove Mosul, and IN the second
heat the bay gelding sold for $50 against
$50 on the field with Octavia. Mosul took
the lead and held it way into the home
stretch, when he went off his feet, let
ting Octavia win by three lengths. In the
third heat Mosul again led into the stretch
and breaking about seVenty-tive feet from
the wire, allowed Octavia to win. The
fourth heat was won easily by the mare.
with Mosul second. In the last race George
Macy was behind Hastings, the favorire,
and he drove her under the wire first in
straight heats. In the last heat it looked
very much as If the bay horse would dis
lance the field, but Macy held him back

Turpin calls his new protective appnra-

ACI1ON OF THE WAVES.


Anew motive power for driving a boa
has been put into use by Secretary Lin
den, of the geological garden at Naples.
To the observer the little craft Is a
mystery. Neither sail, oar, engine nor
smokestack are visible. 4 man sits
calmly at the rudder and steers the
boat wherever he wills.
All the more remarkable issthe mo-
ton because it is the result of no power
in the boat but rather of the movements
Of the waves themselves. and~the1higher
the waves the more rapid is the boat. :,
Secretary Linden was led to adopt
this method Of propulsion from OBJ
servin" the movements Of fishes at the
aquarium. The tail motion / n partieal-
lar attracted his attention. After many
years OF experiment he has adopted a
plan OF extreme simplicity. From
either end of the boat a steel rod ex-
tends down into the water. At their
lower ends are attached horizontal fins
OF flexible steel plate.
Every movement Of waves causes
these plates to vibrate up and down in

that there are many diseases of an in
