Skate SAILING.

There is nothing new in the idea of
skate sailing, says Dan Beard, in
Outing. 1t is as old as skates, and
dates back to the time when our an
cestors with bones of animals bound
to their feet spread their ample cloaks
and allowed the wind to watt them
over the surface of the ice.
But since that time the art has
progressed, keeping pace with the
evolution of the modern steel skate
from it's rude bone ancestor. Some
time in the sos skate sailing was first
brought to the attention of the gen.
eral public by series of articles upon
this subject which appeared in various
periodicals, and we then became fami.
Lar with the Danish square sail and
topsail, the long double, or two-man.
sail of the Norwegians; the English
1ateen sail, with the mast made fast
to the skaters leg, the handsome dou-
ble-diamond sail invented by Charles
Ledyard Norton and many others OF
minor Importance.
AS a rule, the foreign designs are as
clumsy, impracticable and as much
out Of date as the forms of govern
ment under which they flourish.

AUTOMOBILE BOATS TO BE A

Automobile boats are going to be
the reigning fad among owners OF
small yachts this coming season, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. In fact, take
yachting and boating as a whole, and
it is safe to predict that the tuto boats,
as they are now popularity called, will
demand the largest share of attention
of anything afloat in the way of pleas
ure craft
In its choice of name the recently
organized American Power Boat Assoc
citation clearly showed that it intended
no discrimination against any boat
driven by artificial means. So steam
and naphtha boats are eligible to any
races held under the auspices of the
association, complying, of course, with
different restrictions regarding length,
but with the high speed that auto
boats are capable of making it is not
likely that the old-style boats will fig
ure very prominently as candidates for
racing honors.
While all of these boats are power
boats, they are not all motor boats,
for, as the name suggests, motor boats
are those driven by a motor-it may
be the old-style heavy marine motor,
or the newer and faster automobile

make close to twenty-four miles IN
hour. Plans for a boat to cost about
$4,000 were made last season, and
this boat is expected to be promi-
nent competitor in many OF the big
races near by during the season. The
boat will be seventy feet long, and
will be fitted with two French-made
motors of 100 horse power each. 1t is
expected that this boat will make
twenty-five knots an hour. OF course
a boat of this size will be miniature
pleasure yacht, with all the character
istics of yacht designed both for en-
joyment and speed. The automobile
boats, however, of seventy feet length
or over, will not be numerous, but
few novel cruising yachts of this class
are being built that will be even
larger.
The few cases cited are, of course,
exceptional, and no one need think
that because thousands of dollars are
spent for specially constructed auto
mobile boats, that the boats them
selves are expensive Injuries. Like
automobiles, they come at all prices,

Writer Tells of Charm of Hunting
Small Creature.
To my notion, there is a peculiar
charm about trailing a hare, writes
Edwyn Sandys in February Outing. In
the first place there is a superb uncer-
tainty about where you will locate the
beast, if it knows where it is itself.
You find a fresh track, and if wise,
you follow it in what apparently is
the wrong direction, and then-wel1,
you just keep on following. Some
where, perhaps only few yards to
one side of where you struck the
track, is the other end, and, of course,
a hare. You acquire wisdom concern
ing this small technica1ity later-pos-
sib1y hours 1ater-but that does not of
necessitw spoil the sport. 1t may be

thicket, which hampers all the rising
ground, marking the edge of a great
swampy woodland. 1t is easy-in fact.
almost too easy. The hare loves
swampy woodland, so, of course, he
merely has skipped for a trif1ing die
tance along the rim, as it were, of the
depression, then gone down and squat
ted under some handy log, from
which shelter you will bounce him
within five minutes. theoretically
this is sound practically it is a 100 to
1 shot on an utterly unreliable tip.
Impulse prompts you to slant down
toward the swamp at once, to jump
him from somewhere, promptly knock
hin over and be done with it. This
will save useless pottering over fool
ish tracks, and also some valuable
time.

leaves, dropping twenty-dollar gold
pieces into my hat, as an officer OF the
law checked them off. While in the
midst of this unusual occupation 1
heard a slight rustic at my side, and.
looking up, beheld Rollin Pemberton
gazing down at me. 1 had not seen
him for five years, and at parting our
relations were not cordial, but he ad-
dressed me in a tone of voice which
indicated that whatever ill-feeling he
may have borne me had disappeared
in the lapse of time 1 returned his
salutation and went on dropping gold
into my hat, followed by other metals
and paper currency to the amount Of
five thousand dollars. Then 1 arose to
my feet, brushed the leaves from my
clothing and calmly surveyed my audi
ence, which consisted of a man in
shackles, two officers and Mr.. Penn
berton.
Five years before 1 had left Mr..
Pemberton's presence after a rather
stormy interview, in which his daugh-
ter Maude and myself were principally
interested. L had sought his consent
to our marriage. He stormed and
ragged until 1 feared that he would
topple over from heart failure. you
are too young to think of such thing
as marriagei" he exclaimed. ct is
preposterous! Go away and stay five
years. You are both mere children!"
Well, 1 went away after an under

the old gentleman was right.

fifty miles away. 1t was from friend
of the paper, and said: "Send a man

for right man. Sensational"
An hour later 1 was on my way to
Bowlington by rail, and by daylight /
was at the city prison, the most likely
place. l thought, to pick up the scent
of the story 1 was after. Just as !

Going at Highest Speed

81 60 an hour to prope1 a 100-horse-
power automobile boat. This is an
unusual power, and would only be
employed in a veritab1e racer, but
few boats of even greater than 100
horsepower are being built for the
coming season.
The popular sizes for automobile
boats are from twenty-five to fifty
feet, and large number of new boats
of thirty-five and forty foot lengths
will be seen in the waters around New
York this year. Boats Of this size,
equipped with suitable horse power,
not excessive as intended for speed
alone, but adapted to general cruising
purposes and yet capable of making
good time, will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000, while if the boat is built for
speed, which requires special design
ing, Hghtness and yet stability of
build and extensive motors of very
high power, the cost can be jumped
up to $4,000 and even over. The
auto boat recently built for H. H.
Rogers Jr., cost over $4,000. The
boat is 511k feet in length, being the
regulation launch style, open cabin
and fitted with an American-made
eight-cylinder motor of 125 horse
power, and it is expected that she will

About Rats,

DR.. Danysz of the Pasteur institute
in Paris finds that rats can contract
a special disease to which other an
imals are not exposed. He has sue
ceeded in obtaining the bacillus of
the disease. 1t is necessary only to
soak bread or grain in a bouillon of
the microbe culture and allow the rat
to eat it, when they contract the NAL
ady and usually die within five to
twelve days. A number of expert
ments have already been made with
the new method, especially in the sew
ers of Paris, which are full of rats.
and very good results have been OBJ
tanned. 1t was proved during the ex-
periments that the young rats are the
most sensitive to the action of the
microbe. The new rat-exterminating
culture is coming into practical use
in Paris and especially at the Bourse
de Commerce, where it is used to pro-
tect the deposits Of grain.

part of the new charge goes out with

Besides the greater simplicity in
management, there is also the advan-
tage of less cost in running the motor
boat. About a gallon of gasoline an
hour is necessary for 10-horsepower
boat equipped with four-cycle motor.
For a naphtha launch from twenty-five
to thirty-five feet long nearly three
times the amount of gasoline would
be used, SO that it will be seen that
for long distances the amount of fuel
to be carried forms a considerable
item. As the horse power increases
in the auto boats the use of gasoline is
likewise increased, SO for 10-horse-
power boat about ten gallons of oil
would be required an hour, and at six

The ease with which motors may be
placed in small ssailboats is convert
ing many of the latter class of boats
into veritable auxiliary yachts. A
motor of one and half horse power
to three horse power in a catboat ban
ishes forever the horrors of being be-
Gained when out for a half days sail.
While the small motor will not give
great speed, it at least keeps the boat
moving, and much faster, too, than
can be accomplished by the laborious
method of polling or that which may
be given by transient zephyrs, which
by their suggestion of breeze simply
add to the miseries of the continued
calm. Not only for pleasure, but for
business purposes, are motors in
small sailboats being recognized as
genuine boon. Many of the small fish
ermen around Buzzard's Bay and Mar
tha's Vineyard and in other localities
along the sound have recently placed
small motors in their boats, for they
find that it often saves them the loss
of their fish, as well as giving them
the quick market in the ability to
reach port without relying upon the
fickleness of the wind. Naphtha
launches also have been remodeled
into motor boats, a change that Is
easily accomplished in the naphtha
launch, as it conforms in every feature
to the p1easure-built motor boat.
The greatest novelties in these auto
mobile boats will be found in those
designed for fast speed, and several
OF this class will be seen this season.
The offer of a challenge cup by the
American Power Boat Association for
boats from twenty-five to thirty-fve
feet long has given a decided impetus
the records that were made last year
both in this country and abroad, indi.
cate what may be expected in the
direction of fast time on the water
with this popular style of small craft
OF course, for racing everything is
sacrificed to speed. The passenger
capacity is limited, and the boat is
built of the 1ightest possible materials
1t is in fact, narrow, sharp boatlike
shell, propelled by an engine of great
power. These boats have been aptly
called torpedo-shaped because they
look something like the regulation tor
pedo boats. Many of the designs run
to an absolute wedge, with the prov
as sharp as a knife, and the widest
part of the boat at the stern. They
are practically fiat on the keel, and
some of the fifty-foot length boats will
draw but nine inches of water. They
virtually skim over the surface OF
the water and when meeting a wave
plunge right through it. In stiff race
therefore, the occupants are constant
ly wet with the spray that is thrown
out from the sharp-pointed bow.
