Modern Racing era #.

The truth of the old saying that there
is nothing new under the sun has been
once more demonstrated by the dis
covery of a model boat, at least 1000
years old, which resembles in many re-
spects the racing craft of the present
day. This model boat was discovered
in an Egyptian tomb. Although the
boat is only a toy. it affords proof of
the fact that the racing boats Of 1000
years ago we're certainly modelled on
the lines of our latest racing yachts.
The model is obviously that of pleas
ure boat, for the hull has been so cut
down for the sake of speed that it
would be quite useless as cargo or
passenger boat. The most modern row.
ing boats made have not such deep
keel as that from which the model was
copied.
There has been a good deal of discus
sion at one time or another as to
whether England or America invented
the ''fin KEEP for racing boats. There
is no question now that the honor be-
longs to neither country, since both
have unconsciously copied the idea
from Egypt. Until a few years ago
boatbuilders had never constructed a
boat with line of prov equal to that
seen on the little model just unearthed.
Racing yachts of twenty years ago had
no such lines.
In some respects, at least, we have
improved on the boats of 1000 years
ago. The stern of the model is not SO
good as would be the stern of model
of modern rading yacht. Considerable
improvements have also been made in
the steering gear. However, to all in
tents and purposes the boats used by
racers of today from the point of view
of appearance. In the matter of speed
the modern boat would be their superb

APPROPRIATIONS FOR MAINE
Asked for in the Book of Estimates Sent
to Congress.

Asked for in the Book of Estimates Sent
to Congress.
The annual book of estimates sent to
Congress calls for total of $50, 500 for
lighthouses and aids on the Maine coast.
The largest appropriation asked is $751;
600 for establishing steam fog signal
at Little River Head, at the entrance
to Cutler Harbor. This is to assist YES
sells that are entering the Bay of Fundy.
The smallest appropriation asked is for
800 to purchase land on which to build
an oil house at Ames Ledge Light Sta
ton, Kennebec River The land it is
proposed to acquire is opposite the
ledge on which the light is situated.
Then $4,000 are asked for the erection
of fog signal at Boon Island Light
Station for the protection of steamers
from Pollock Rock. The two other ap-
preparations asked are one of S14, 400
for establishing light and fog signal
near Isle au Haul, in the larbor of that
name, and one for $4,000 for establish
ing a light and fog signal station on
Buckle Island, near the entrance to
York Narrows, Me.
Only one appropriation is asked for
the improvement of rivers and harbors
i'll Maine. This is SAL, 900 for complet-
ing the improvement of the kennebec
between Gardiner and Augusta and
was authorized at previous session of
Congress- There are other projects
that the Maine delegation want auth
orized, but they will have to come
under the River and Harbor bill that is
now being framed in the House. I'm
provements at Portland Harbor and
in the Penobscot River near Bangor
are the most important of these. The
Maine delegation have already taken
steps towards having those items in
cluded in the House Bill. They are
certain to be taken care of, for after the
River and Harbor bill has passed the
House it will go to the Senate Commit
tee on Commerce, of which Senator Frye
is chairman. If necessary the bill can be
amended there.
In the book of estimates also are
items for the support of the Togus, or
eastern branch of the National Soldiers
Home. These items for Togus are as
follows: Current expenses, 5000; sub
sistence, $134,OO0; household, $4,000:
hospital, $4,000; transportation of
members of home, $1,000; repairs, $780,
900; new coal shed, 4,5OO; extension of
green house, $1,000; additions to and
alterations of library building, $1,000;
farm, $4,000.

son, ESQ.,, Frederick H. Appleton, Esq, and
Charles A. Gibson, directors; Edward Stet-

THE SURVEY.
The engineering department of the new
road is hard at work on the data already
obtained for the new road and field parties
are at work ON Cape Jellison and near
Standpoint.
AS now planned two terminals are pro-
jected. one at Cape Jellison, the other at
Dor, the latter property having been pur-
chased last spring. 1t is understood that
work will be commenced on the piers at
Cape Jellison very soon.
Surveys have developed what appears to
be favorable route, striking the river
some distance above Standpoint and rum
ming between the county road and the river,
almost in straight line to the end of Cape
JellisOn.
If this route is followed it is said that it
will be comparatively easy grade and will
add to the picturesque features of the new
road, besides making Fort Point accessible
and possibly creating boom for the once
famous summer resort.
The survey is still in the preliminary stage
and will not be fully decided upon for some
time.-BangOr News.

KILLS CATARRH GERMS.

Breathe Hyomei and Be Cured of Catarrh-
Costs Nothing if 1t Fails.

times a day through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and benefit
will be seen at once. Continue this treat
ment for d short time, and your catarrh will
have been cured by llyome.
There is no roundabout way in HyOmei'S
medicinal action; it does not try to cure a
disease Of the head by putting medicine in
the stomach. 1t fills the air you breathe
with balsamic healing that SootheS the
irritated and smarting membrane, destroys
the germs of catarrh that are present in
the head and throat, and is the only treat
ment that can be relied upon to cure.
When using Hyomei the air you breathe
Will be like that on the mountains high
above the sea level, filled with volatile,

the irritated mucous membrane of the air
passages.
Ihis treatment has been so successful,
curing 80 per cent of all who have used it,
that Hyomei is now sold by K. II. Moody
under an absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it does not benefit. You run no
risk whatever in buying llyomei. II it did
not possess unusual powers to cure, it could
not be sold upon this plan.

haler will last a lifetime; and additional
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for SOC.
