advise that the wheels of some old
wagon be utilized. Strengthen two or
three spokes of the hind wheels by
placing triangular shaped pieces of
board on both sides of each wheel and
boiling these boards through. See fig
ure 8. Returning now to the power me-
chanism, notice that the ends of the
upright posts are notched, as shown
in figure 6. Flatten the crossbars in
the center by cutting a little off on
each side, and force them into the
notches, then bind the upright bars
above and below the crossbars, as
shown in figure 5.
OF course you will have discovered
that all this power mechanism has
nothing to do with the sailing part of
the wagon. 1t is for use if the wind
dies down. Then all hands can work
the bars back and forth and so take
the craft home under her own power.
A coxswain is a very convenient
member of crew. but when the wind
dies down and all hands must take to
the oars to get home the coxswain

THE TALLEST TREES.

The highest trees in the world are the
eucalyptus trees, which are famous be-
cause it is believed that they have the
quality of purifying regions that are
cursed with fever. There are nearly
one hundred different varieties OF eu-
calyptus, nearly all of which reach
great nights. The biggest variety pro-
duces trees that grow to such enor-
nous nights that no structure in tne
world can compare with them. Trees
have been measured that were 800 4uo,
and even 450 feet high. They are NOT
as big around as would be expected,
the largest being only little more tnan
25 feet in girth. The trees are wonder
fully swift in growth In southern
France a eucalyptus tr~n that was
planted twenty years g was meas
ured recently, and it was Ind that II

make a pivot on which the bars may
work back and forth on the side of the
wagon. Figure 2 shows this attach
ment.
The under part of the handgear is
shown in figure 1. 1t will be seen that
the pair of bars which descend on each
side of the wagon bed are hinged into
the ends of two other bars that run
horizontally. These horizontal bars are,
in turn, fastened to the wheels A
brace is fastened across these two I'M
der bars to strengthen them, and to
insure their working together.
Although l have known boys who
could do It, making a wheel is by no
means an easy piece of work, and

represents a great deal of weight from
which no momentum is gained Many
boys, therefore, prefer to have their
sail wagons steered as a four-oared
shell is steered, that is by one of the
rowers.

than is shell. because in the case of
the former the steersman faces in the
direction in which he wishes to go.
While in the case of boat the steers
man either has to take line on some
objects on the shore or else keep twist
ing around to see where he is going.
If a piece of wood shaped as shown
In figure eleven is fastened just in
front of the first mans feet in such a
way that it may turn to the right or
left, and ropes are run from each end
of this stick to the front wheels, the
bowman may steer quite as we'll as a
coxswain. The front wheels of a sail
wagon are arranged like those of an
ordinary wagon, that is, so that they

The hand gear shown in figure seven
should be made of oak, ash. hickory or
some other tough wood, and it must be
carefully fitted together. A hand gear
that rattles when in motion has some
thing wrong about it and needs bet
ter workmanship. 1t will be noticed
that the first two upright posts, count
ing from the left, are hinged in the
center of the wagon bed.
The other pair of posts, unlike these
first two, extends below the bed of the
wagon. This pair is to carry the power
to the wheels.
To provide a strong pivot on which
these two long power bars are to work,
nail two triangular pieces of wood to
the side of the wagon bed. Then shave
the outer points of the triangle off and
fasten a strip of wood across this part.

Brave Soldiers and a Terrible
Creature That Was Neither a

For several months the peasants liv-

had been frightened every few nights
by strange cries from the woods.
Sometimes the cries were uttered al
most at their doors, and the trembling
people could hear the rustic of some
thing moving about outside. No man
dared even look out of window to see
what strange creature it might be,
but all had an idea it was a goblin.
There were wood-cutters among the
peasants, and they had to go into the

LONG HILL.

THIS HORSE HAD NOTIONS OF HIS OWN. Will Eastwood of Bridgeport, with his family, started with a livery team to visit his mother in Stepney. They got as far as Long Hill church, when the horse concluded he had been far enough or as some one said, s'The mu. SIC of the organ charmed him." so he would not go without leading. MT Eastwood thought that rather slow tra vellng, beside paying big price for the use of the team, it was most too much like working passage. With ali the coaching and whipping he would not go unless he was led along by the halter. After long time he got as far as E. $. Shelton's. The use of the telephone was sought to let the owner of the shorse know how far they had got. After waiting awhile another horse was hitched before the surrey and they went on their journey. The first horse would go back home all right but to go north it would not. It must have known how bad the roads were.
