+ "SIidine" Boat.

Some experiments made on the
Seine recently with remarkable
automobile boat OF new type yield
ed surprising results. The boat Is
described as a "slider. from :he
fact that ii really glides upon the
surface OF the water. leaving no
wash whatever. and not through
the water. With motor OF four
teen horsepower the extraordinary
rate of speed of eighteen miles an
hour was reached on Il measured
kilometer. The boat is - feet 6
inches long by 9 feet 9 inches broad
and is described as launch,
though her shape is quite unusual
for that c:ass of boat. Along the
keel are five inclined planes, the
pressure upon which when the mo
tor begins TO act lifts the bottom of
the boat to the surface. Count c.
de Lambert is the inventor The
motor is a Dion.

DATES AS FOOD.

Country Life In America records
that Mr.. David q. Eairchild. the
agricultural explorer, who has Wis
tied the date producing regions of
the old world, has written an ac-
Pount of his Investigations for the
department of agriculture, with
special reference to date culture in
America. The doctors seem
agreed Mr.. Fairchild SAYS, that
sweet things in excess are injurious
10 the digestion, and the dentists
claim that sugar ferments between
the teeth. forming Tactic acid,
which attacks the dentine. But for
all this ii is doubtful if there can
be found sounder, stronger race
with better digestion and finer,
winter teeth than the date eating
Arabs.
"Ihe remarkable physique of the
Arabs and their resistance to the
almost unbearable heat of their
country might be attributed, il. part
at least, to the nature of their sim
pie food. At any rate, thorough
investigation of the food value of
the date and its adaptability to the
formation of food for our hot sum
mer season should be made, and
possibly this wonderful vegetable
product, which is now used in
America only as second class CON
fection, might be utilized as basis
of nutritious new food"

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Story Of Newsboy Who Wanted to Be
Obliged With a Match

A small newsb boy who had made
the find of a half finished cigar on
the pavement stepped into a small
shop to obtain match.
"Say, give us match, Will you:"
he asked of the woman behind the
counter.
1--WE don't give matches; we sell
them she replied.
"llow much =
"a cent box"
One dirty hand went into his
pocket, brought out penny and
placed ii on the counter.
GIVE me a box.
The box was purchased. With a
grave air the small boy took it,
drew out match, struck light
with all the grace possible and puff
ed energetically upon the discarded
cigar stub. Then, leaning conf
dentially across the counter, he ex-
tended the box of matches 10 the
woman and said:
Say, You jest take this box Of
matches, will Yer, and put it in
some place where you can lay hands
on it easy, and when some other
gentleman steps in and asks for a
light don't sell him a match; give
him one on me-" And with a lord
ly nod the young American made
his way back to the street.-Lippin-

COLD STORAGE HOUSES.

and Other Fruit ON the Farm.
The large cold storage houses in the
cities are usually cooled 10y mechanical
refrigeration. This method is too ex-
pensive for use ON a small scale in the
country. Ice and the natural tempera-
ture must be relied upon. The Illinois
experiment station has reported the
details of building storage house ca
pable of holding ice for controlling the
temperature This house WAS built as
cheaply as possible and for the most
part 10y unskilled labor. 1t cost when
completed S3.I3O40.
During the season 1000 barrels OF ap-
pIes were placed in ii by Oct. > and
seventy tons of ice put in the refricer
ator The temperature of the storage
room fell rapidly after the ice was put
In 10 about So degrees T.. and this TEN
peraturc. or a little lower. WAS main
tanned throughout the experiment. The
'ost of storage per barrel of fruit in
lAis building up TO April %. or about
even months, was l9.l cents, or 300
Cents less than the usual charge for ap-
PIE storage. Based upon these results
t is estimated that the building if
%tored to its full capacity each year
would pay for itself in five years.
The fruit in the building was ex-
amined from time to time during stor
dge. Without exception ii kept well
There was no scald, no withcring. The
fruit remained plump and in perfect
condition. and the percentage Of rotten
fruits was very small. The results are
believed to plainly show the utility of
buildings of this character cooled by
ice. Commercial growers Of apples

Another problem studied by the same
