che Development Of the Auxiliary
Yacht.

The following has been called from an
article appearing in the special .'Trans-
portation" number of the Scientific AM
erican:
your true sailOrman, with his inborn
love of the sea, always looks askance at
yacht that depends for its motive.
power upon anything more than we'll
trimmed sails and natures own motive
power, the wind. To him it is the very
hckleness Of the breezes, the uncer-
tainty OF the tides, currents and various
elements that go to render navigation
difficult, that constitutes half of the
CHARM of yachting, for is it not in the
observation of these, and in the accum-
ulated experience OF many seasons
cruising in foul weather and fair, that
he develops that confidence, resourceful-

yachtsman? On the other hand, in this
bnsy, Workaday, age, when we are in
s'icn hurry to accumulate our store,
big or little, as the case may be, of this
worlds wealth, we have come to be-
efadge even the all-tOO-brief hours that
w give to recreation; and the long de-
lays which are inevitable on a sailing
yacht through falling winds, or foul
tises, have led to the experiment of in
traducting a limited amount of steam
or other mechanical motive power on
sailing yachts. The great convenience
OF being able to continue on ones course
in calm weather at from one-half to two
thirds the ships sailing speed, or of be-
ing able at the close of days sailing to
enter a crowded harbor and come to ones
mooring, with canvas all slowed and
everything made snug before the moor
irs, is picked up has appealed sa strong
ly 10 large number of yachtsmen, that
the auxiliary sailing vessel is becoming
interestingly popular. The auxiliary
power varies from the small gasoline

steam engine of the cruising schooner.
One of the most difficult problems to
sol 20 in vessel of this type is that of
reducing the resistance offered by the
pr peIler, owing to it's drag upon the

difficulty is so constructed as to enable

be altered, while they are in place under
water, to the pitch most suitable for
working with steam under varying cir
cuIlstances, as we'll as to feather them

there are 80 cases in which husbands

in fact a perjurer and beast and
