The fact is, almost everybody has a
weak spot somewhere. Death and dis
ease are always looking for weak spots.
If your stomach or your liver won't do
its proper work, if your body fails to
get its full nourishment from the food
you eat, and your brain loses part of the
sleep it ought to have, no matter how big
your frame and muscular your limbs may
be, you will give out; disease will find the
weak spot, and nature will give way.

the jib. jib-topsail and staysail will be
much larger than those carried on the

be larger. This increase is made pos
sible by the top hamper of the boat
having been made as light as possible.

low. The clubs for the topsail will be
about ten feet longer than those on

the extra sail spread will make her

HER SAIL SPREAD.

NEW YORK, June IA COMPARE
son of the plans of the sails of the CO.
lumbia and the Defender gives some
idea of the enormous spread of canvas
the new yacht will carry. When the
Defender was raced three years ago it
was thought that in sail area she had
almost reached the limit. Herreshoff
has given to the new boat about 10
per cent more spread than the cham
pion of 1895. On the water line the
two boats are about the same length.
but in overall length the Columbia is
seven feet longer. Her ballast has
been so adjusted that it is expected
that she will be able to carry the in
creased spread easily, and it is posi-
BILE that before the cup races are sailed
the Columbia will have her sail plan
enlarged. This was done in 1895 with
the Defender, and if Herreshoff has
been as conservative in his figuring
this year as he was then it will be
done again.
All the spars on the Columbia are
from two to five feet longer than
those on the Defender. The main
boom is about three feet longer, the
gait about five feet and the topmast
five feet. The mast, too, is longer, so
that the mainsail will be about three
feet longer on the foot, five feet longer
on the gait, and have about two feet
more hoist. The triangle of the head
