FUTURE OF MOTOR BOATS.

Coming Season VIII See Lively Rae.
 ing In American Waters.
 The Iandsman who is not a motor understand the furor over automobile boats and why they are called such and not fast launches, says the Illus trated Sporting News. These speedy selves, and their introduction may cause a revolution in small boats for pastime and water communication sim liar to the effects of the automobile on tomoblle boat is merely an automobile engine in a hull modelled for high speed. The advantage over steam and naphtha launches has begun to be hinted at in the trials already made at home and abroad. In a contest on the Seine the winning boat maintained an average speed of twenty-two miles an hour, and faster times have been made over shorter courses. The first match race in the United States had as a competitor motor boat that had cov- cred measured mile in minutes and 26 seconds.
 Yachts capable of such high speeds are of huge cost, operated by picked crews and have been compared with the latest designs of torpedo craft. The automobile is nothing more than a thirty foot launch, weighing with it's engine less than 800 pounds, but capa- ble of developing more than twenty horsepower. A yacht or torpedo boat capable of speed of twenty-five miles an hour measures its horsepower by thousands. The motor boat Is handled and steered by one man, who controls rudder and engine just as he controls his automobile. These craft made . sensation in England and France be fore they attracted much attention ir the United States, but the coming sea son will see lively racing on waters near New York and a big boom in the demand for these handy little boats whose speed and ease of handling arc wholly new in small craft

Ah0uf Cheese.

During this part of the year cheese, macaroni and preparations of corn can be more freely used than in summer "A dinner without cheese" says Bril- lat-Savarin, lis like woman with one eye,"5 and a small piece with a water biscuit or plain cracker is never amiss at the conclusion of the meal. For this roquefort, edanl, pineapple or any very rich variety Is considered best. Ordi- nary American cheese is preferred for rarebits. When bought in large piece cheese can be kept ih, good condition by wrapping it first in cloth dipped in cider vinegar, then in waxed or parchment paper. When stale and dry grate and keep 1t in glass jars A spoonful or two will be decided inn provement to many dishes. = Table Talk.
