There are alcohol-fuel motors also, that
are quite able to qualify; not to speak of

weeks from the present date 1t will be

terrupted with an anxious note In his voice,
"and for that reason am possessed to go

Mimetic art as applied to Egyptian paint
ing and sculpture was curious misnomer
Probably no other nation of the world at
that time was so devoted to it, and GER
tainly no other people of equal advancement
of that or any other time so willfully ig-
nored the simplest rules OF proportion per
spective and form. The sculptors ability
to suggest majesty and repose, and at the
same time ignore anatomical construction,
was wonderful. To preserve the features
and individual characteristics of model
and obey the rules of convention was feat
to be achieved only by an Egyptian. There
was no lack of genius in him, but he had
been denied liberty of execution until he
knew no other forms but those his fathers
followed generations before.
Presently Mentu, raising his head. noted
that the shadows were falling asiant the
court. With an interested but inarticulate
remark, he dropped his pen among Its fell
lows in an earthenware tray, his plans into
an open chest, and went out across the
court, entering an opposite door.
With his fathers exit, Kenkenes shifted

thought grew on his face. After long in

the well-known lanes, so that all trans
atlantic steamers can be on the lookout
for them. Also number of cean-going
yachts will station themselves along the
course" to wait for them.
Risk Of Fire.
Mr.. Nixon's adventurous motor boat,
starting from New York quite alone. will
make practical experience of the ominous
risk of fire. 1t must not be ignored that
there are engineers and constructors of
reputation who are at present uttering
warning voices against the employment
Of great masses of highly infiammable
essences on such a long trip as the cross
ing Of the Atlantic.
These highly infiammable essences. 1t is
argued, are just barely acceptable in au-
tomobiles because of their great practical
advantages; yet 1t must not be forgotten
that all of the many dangerous accidents
not eccasioned by faults of steering, &c,
are invariably due to the infiammability
of the essence. The struggle, therefore,
between these now classical motors and
promising outsiders like the Gardner
Serpollet steam engine and the carbura-
tors that use heavy petroleum and schist
oils Is likely to enter into new phase
with all kinds of sensational possibili-
ties.
What we must never lose sight of is the
immense and utter novelty of the propo-
sition to cross the Atlantic.
AS a preliminary step to the colossal
event, what is practically the organiza-
ton of the Atlantic Cup" is now actively
preparing for the cup of the Mediterra-
nean," from Toulon to Algiers, for which
there are already seventy-one entries.
Well, even this Toulon-Algiers trip car
ries with 1t conditions so novel and out of
all practical experience that there is room
for lot of theoretical dispute.
Different Conditions.
It is not difficult, for example, for first
class road-racing automobile to do indif-
ferently long course of 600 kilometers
Qike the Ardennes circuiD or six short
course of 100 kilometers each. The proof
is that in the last Ardennes circuit Rigolly
and his auto, who hold the single kilometer
record, were among the first to finish. And
so on. One could give quantities of such
examples. This is due to the fact that the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-10-22

mass of essence on board the boat must be
enlarged. There must also be space for
making repairs, where fire can be lighted.
And there must be pumps to replace used
up essence with water ballast.
Thus the same "Trefle-a-Quatre' motor.
which made it's record at Monaco In a boat
of one ton. will need boat of two and a
half tons for the Cup of the Mediterra
mean" Will ii make thirty-eight kilometers
per hour in it? 1t will make just about
twenty-five Hlometers per hour. But then
the crossing from Toulon to Algiers will
require thirty-four hours instead OF twenty
five hours; and to be prudent ii must carry
forty hours of essence l. e., ]. 200 liters in
stead of 1 ,2d0 liters And so on. The diff
ference is immense.
One expert says that, to use over again
celebrated formula, the speed difficulty
will be found to increase as the square OF
the distance to be run.
Difficulties in the Way.
All this is far from crossing the Atlantic.
French naval officers who have crossed the
Pacific in torpedo boats protected by cruis-
ers, are unanimous in declaring that the
minimum length for a transatlantic motor
boat must be between forty and 80 meters
yards. The crew of six men demanded by
the rules of the "Atlantic-C Cup must be
lodged in a way to give them physical re-
posse. G., they must be able to sleep lying
down. The boat must have powerful
pumps. 1t must have a mast and sail for
emergencies.
A boat of this length represents a mini
mum displacement of between seventy and
eighty tons. Now, the motor force neces-
Sary to push ii at a speed of fifteen knots
is at least 400 horse power. AS the best
motors use 400 grams of essence per horse
hour, we arrive, with losses and defective
carburation, at 500 grams Admitting that
one burns only $50 grams, this represents
half liter per horSe-hour. or 2g0 liters per
hour for 400 horse power Multiplying by
twenty-four hours, obtain $500 liters
per day.
Suppose the boat makes fifteen knots per
hour, the crossing will take twelve days
4,SO0 multiplied by twelve equal $1,000 liters
of essence. Add three days reserve. 14.40)
and we arrive at - 003 liters, lie. seventy
two tons. which will necesstate a boat OF
at least 100 tons.
Calculating the liquid energy at @ 40
cents per liter. its cost to take motor boat
across the Atlantic will be Si.4OD.

HE'S lO3 YEARS OLD

Written for The Evening Star.
The query Are you a Mason?" if put to
venerable James Bellows McGregor of
Worthwhile N. H, would not only be an
swered in the affirmative, but, in addition,
that he is indisputably the oldest living
Mason in America.
Recently this well-preserved patriarch OF
the Order of Free Masons celebrated his
one hundred and third birthday, surrounded
by happy and joyous representatives of five
Generations of his family, who Joined him
in singing the songs of his boyhood days.
Tt was in the year 1925 that McGregor be-
came member of the Masonic order, and
he has steadfastly adhered to its principles
ever since being recognized as one of the
strongest and most faithful supporters of
the order in this country. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing for high dignitaries OF the Ma
sonic fraternity to journey many miles to
see him and have a chat regarding Ma
sonry of the good old times, and he is
known to thousands of Masons all over the
world as the grand old man. of the order.
Next to a good long talk with brother
Mason, Mr. McGregor's greatest measure OF
happiness and delight in his declining years
is a walk about the grounds of his old home.
where he was born and played as mere
child, and where, one hundred years ago,
he wildly recollects having drunk freely
from the old wooden watering trough on
grounds adjoining the ancient premises. 1t
was in this treasured spot that many never
to-be-forgotten scenes, of which he was g.
part, took place nearly century ago.
At the Old Home.
That the old house in which he was born.
and even the old wooden watering trough at
which he drank when a child. are still In

Early in life young McGregor taught
school in different parts of New Hampshire,
and subsequently became clerk in a store
and finally proprietor of a mercantile bust
ness.
His Hundredth Birthday.
The one hundredth anniversary of his
birth was appropriately celebrated by the
Masonic fraternity, several hundred men,
bers attending the social function, which
was held in the dwelling constructed by Mr..
McGregor's own hands. The affair was in
the hands of Mount Vernon Lodge of Free
