the great and powerful Darons who,

the King; and he for some days before

fiddlers, glee maidens and harpers

the reason of all the hustle and I'M

been surnamed Tanner of the Ravens

Feed pale girls on SCOTS

The fact that it is the best

MILES A MINUTE
SPEED OF ENGINES THAT DRIVE
FAST AUTO BOATS.
Propellers Driven with Tremendous
Rapidity-Mechanism Of No
/ tive Power Must Be
Perfect.

When one Of the fast auto boats is
dashing through the water at the rate Of
from 20 to 25 miles an hour the propeller
wheel revolves from 500 to 1,25O times in
a minute. When the number Of revolu-
tions is stated one rarely comprehends
what 1t means.
In a boat of high power the propeller
will be 23 inches in diameter. This means
that its periphery is a little over six
feet
II this screw revolves at the rate OF
1850 times a minute the outer edge Of
the blades Of the propeller are cutting
through the water at the rate of Just
one and one-third miles minute.
These propellers are not fat. If they
were they would have no purchase on
the water and the boat would not move
an inch. To give them a grip on the
water each blade is twisted slightly,
like a spiral, and this twist increases
the stretch Of the blade beyond its cir
cumference by about IA, so that what
marine engineers call the helicoid path
OF the propeller would be very nearly
two miles In a minute.
This remarkable speed is produced by
q motor that is only 2S inches wide, 40
inches long and II inches high. It de-
velops a horse power of about SIS.
The propellers which drive the fast
Atlantic liners are about 4S feet in cir
cumference. The tip of the blade will
cover about a mile and fifth each min
ute when revolving at full speed.
The cruiser Minneapolis, which is one
of the fastest in the navy, has propellers
4S feet in circumference. They make
1872 revolutions a minute, so that the tip
Of the blade when driven at full speed is
travelling at the rate of 6,3S6 feet each
minute, and the helicoid path, OF the dis
tance covered by the spiral twist Of the
blade. is $50 feet a minute or more
than q mile and a half
The MinneOplis and the ocean liners
are driven by steam, but nthe fast auto
boats gasoline is the motive power.
1t can be understood to what a nicely
the mechanism in a gasoline engine is
adjusted when It is stated that to make
1000 revolutions a minute means that in
four cycle engine, there are 500 sprays
Of gasoline forced into the cylinder, 500
times the electric battery makes a
spark and 500 times the escape valve
Is opened to let the gas out.
If there are four cylinders at work on
the sameshaft, andmany Of fthefast boats
have four cylinders, then each operation
is repeated four times. Some motors
have eight cylinders and one Is now be-
ing built that will have u cylinders. II
is figured that a motor uses a pint Of
gasoline for each horsepower an hour
An eight horsepower motor will use a
gallon Of gasolene an hour and viii cost
about 16 or II cents an hour to run. A
24-horsepower motor will take three gal
Ions an hour, which viii make the cost
about so cents an hour.
There is a motor boat now being built
that is to have a 5O0-horsepower motor
This motor win consume about so gal
Ions Of gasoline an hour, and II run foi
ten hours a day. win cost more than SsC
