motor. Without going into the techni-
cal differences, the motor boats dis
pense with the necessity of the some
what clumsy boiler, thus simplifying
many of the details of navigation. The
third and last distinction comes in the
latest term for a boat-the auto boat.
All auto boats are motor boats, but the
distinction that places auto boats in
class by themselves is the fact that
they are supplied with regular auto
mobile motors. In the few that have
been built here, and in the larger num-
Der that are being turned our for use
this season, the motor is identically
the same as is used in automobiles.
The same method of propulsion as is
used in the horseless vehicles on the
street is now being adapted to water
craft. For racing purposes the few
evidences that have been given indi-
cate that the same success is in store
for auto boats as has been won by au-
tomobiles, the ability to beat anything
that has ever tried for high speed at
various distances.
The term auto boat, from the fact,
probably, that the most notable auto
mobile boats have been supplied with
motors of high horse power designed
for racing purposes, has come to sig
nifty racing motor boat, but in the
growing popularity for this class of
boats the racing feature will gradually
cease to be the predominating charac-
teristic of the boat, just as in automo-
biles, the mere possession of one by
no means implies that the owner has
purchased it for racing purposes.
One prime reason for the growing
automobile motors. whether they be of
small or of high horse power, is their
greater simplicity of management
over the old-style power boats. Less
room is needed, in one place, for the
mechanism. Although gasoline, which
is virtually the same as naphtha, is
used as the fuel to generate the pro-
polling power, a small amount is re-
quired SO that the weight of the boat
obtaining. at the same time, more
room for carrying capacity, if required.
There is no boiler to trouble the
amateur engineer, and the other an
noyances attendant upon the proper
care of boiler are obviated. With
the wheel or steering gear in front of
the boat, and the motor in the rear
one man can manage the little launch
all day, if necessary, just as soon as
the motor is set going By turning off
the power the boat stops, and no fur
Their attention need be paid to the mo-
tor until it is time to start the boat
again.
1t would require too much technical
description to attempt scientific ex-
PLANTATION of the motor propulsion, but
on the automobile boat the gasoline is
sprayed into the cylinder by an ato-
mizer and explodes by an electric
spark About one drop of gasoline is
used for each explosion. The popular

vine furnished evidence that some
human being or a lower animal had
passed along that way shortly before.
1 followed the direction of these
signs. A heavy shower had fallen
late in the night, and had obliterated
any evidence of overturned leaves.
1 had not proceeded one-fourth OF
the distance through the timber when
1 noticed a peculiar looking hump be-
side a cluster of bushes. 1 had been
jabbing my stick into hollow logs and
other places likely to be chosen by
the thief The hump which have

a year, but as 1 passed, 1 poked at
the little elevation in a mechanical
sort of way. felt something spongy;
1 scraped the leaves away and there
lay a canvas bag! I at once called
the other members of the party to
my side before 1 removed the bag
from its hiding place. Then at the
direction of the officers the bag was
opened and the money counted, the
small vest pocket book by one of the
officers The full amount of five thou
sand dollars was there.
This was the money I was dropping
into my hat, piece by piece, when
Rollin Pemberton came up did not
know that he was interested in the
matter and had no idea how he came
to be on the scene-that place being
a thousand miles from his home. The
officers took charge of the money and
we turned back toward the highway.

we walked away together. Ralph"

power, capable of making five to eight
miles an hour, may be had for a few
hundred dollars For $3.50 to $500 one
may obtain a very servfceable boat
that will provide summer recreation
for a party of from six to ten persons.
The ease with which these small boats
may be managed is great point in
their favor. To those of modest means
and yet who wish to own some kind of
water craft by which they may get
somewhere in a half days or a days
trip, these reasonable-priced motor
boats are appealing with strong favor.

is an explosion to every two revolu-
tons, while in two-cycle motor there
is an explosion with every revolution
In the four-cycle motor the exhaust
follows the explosion and the cylinder
is emptied of the old charge before the
new one is injected, but in the two
cycle motor the old charge is exhaust
ed on one side while the new one is
being injected on the other. This

With Foolish Haste.

with foolish haste we rush from play
To struggle madly in the fray:
We seek to beat the brazen gong.
To pit ourselves against the strong,
As IL the chance might fade away.
We rob sweet childhood of its day
And leave the laughter and the gay,
Glad moments that to youth belong,
With foolish haste
Love sweet1y beckons us to stay,
But, rushing on. we answer nay:
From laughter and from love and song
We go to struggle in the throng,
And end by sinking In dismay,
With foolish haste.

JOTTINGS

The body of William McGaffey, a former resident of this town, was found in the old Curtis pond near Thomaston last evening. MT McGaf- fey's two daughters. it will be remem- bered, were killed by lightning over fifteen years ago and it is thought that MT McGaffey never recovered from the shock received at that time. When found in the pond (for which years ago he helped construct the dam) he had an axe tied to his neck, which led the finders of the body to the con clus1on that he wished to end life as soon as possible. His only survivor Is daughter who now resides in ThOmaston. However. his loss will also be keenly felt by his many friends and former associates In this place.

 s'Yes," she answered fearlessly. "But you are not going to touch him. Let anyone of you dare to enter this house and the white man will come and eat you up"
 A few ventured nearer, shrieking in derision; but they were towards. They knew the terrible white man! And with loud cries they fled back to the forest.

TROLLEYCARSCRASH
Church Excursionists Tn Col lision Near Hampstead, N. Y.
MINISTER IS FATALLY INJURED.
St. George Church Train Run Into by Working Car - Twenty Badly Hurt, Mostly Women and
 Children.

HAMPSTEAD, N. F., July 21- Twenty persons, nearly all of them wo. men and children, were injured here when trolley train carrying excur- sionists from St. Georges Episcopal church of this village was run into by working trolley car just beyond the Greenfield cemetery switch. Both the train, which was made up of thRee cars, and the working car were going at full speed at the time.
 The point where the collision oc- cured is on a sharp curve, and the track there is lined with underbrush, so that the metorman of the excursion train could not see the approaching car until 1t was only few feet away.
 The most seriously injured are: The Rev. Dr. J. Meyer Cook, pastor of the St. George Episcopal church, in ternal injuries, may die; Mrs. Cook, wife of the pastor. right leg injured; 1; Miss Marion Gildersleeve, thirteen years old, daughter of Undersheriff Gildersleeve of Nassau county, jaw bone broken; Miss Rebecca Lee Roches- ter, twelve years old+ nose broken and face badly cut; Miss Rochester's maid, badly injured while trying to protect the child
 Sixteen other persons received seri- ous injury.
 The Sunday school excursion was on its way to Long Beach and the in tention was to take the railroad train at Freeport. The merry party had marched from the church to the cars singing and waving flags. Half of the town was down at the trolley line to see it off, and there were cheers and waving of handk erchiefs as the three cars pulled out. Motorman Rhodes of the excursion train said that he had the right of way, and the cars whiz- zed over the single track at top speed.
 Near the Greenfield cemetery there is a switch where the cars pass. The three cars of the trolley train had pass ed this and continued on. Just below was the curve, the other part of the line being hidden by the thick growth of underbrush. As the picnic train was rounding the curve Motorman Rhodes saw the working trolley com ing along. He wound his brake up hard and jumped. Few of those on the car had any sign of their peril. There was great crash, and then the air was filled with the shrieks and groans of the injured.
 The Rev. Dr. Cook was said to be in a serious condition, and 1t is thought he will die.
 St. Georges church is one of the old est on Long Island, having celebrated its two hundredth anniversary last April.
