A Miniature Steamer.

HANOVER, y. H., Sept. Is. The small
est pleasure steamer In this country, one
in fact approaching the miniature, is now
ploughing the pleasant waters of Mascoma
lake at the neighboring town of Enfield,
\. H. 1t is owned by DIR. j. X. Shatswell
OF Dedham, Mass, who is taking a vaca-
ton at this resort The craft is hardly
10 feet over all in length and Is inches
wide in its widest part.
The miniature feature of the boat,
which is of partieul II interest from its
small size and yet enormous power, is
the engine which the doctor carries to
and fro IN his boating expeditions, in an
ordinary small handbag. The boiler
of the engine holds about quart Of water
and the engine cylinders are about one
inch IN diameter.
The smoke stack of aluminium is two
feet high and two inches in diameter.
The fuel used is charcoal, which is stored
in paper Gag aboard the boat. When
it becomes necessary to clean the tirebox,
the work is done with an ordinary sized
tablespoon.
The engine rests on a table tray, II 1-2x
II IL inches, and its performance is some
thing marvellous. The boat carries two
persons with ease and is used as a means
of actual transportation, Recently when
an approaching storm threatened to make
the long stretch Of lake decidedly danger
aus for small boats, Dr. Shatswell took
another boat containing eight people in
tow, and landed them with dispatch and
safety, without experiencing any difficulty
whatsoever in 50 doing.

Japan Favorable.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. TIE newspa-
pers reaching the State department in the
official mails from the east, show that the
almost universal expression in the public
press of Japan is in favor of the United
States holding permanently and govern
ing the Philippine islands. The position
taken is that this will be in the interest of
peace and commerce and good govern
ment. The editorials say that this is the
only issue of the matter that will satisfy
the highest interests Of the islands and
the demands of civilization. The papers
declare that the United States in assum-
ing the control of the islands will receive
the moral support, if not the active CO.
operation, of Japan and Great Britain.
