IDEAS IN BOAT BUILDING
Constructors Find New Methods of In
crea<ng the Speed of Water Craft.

Constructors Find New Methods of In
creaSng the Speed of Water Craft.
Granville H. Rood, OF Washington. a
boat builder OF wide reputation. has re-
Gently succeeded in upsetting all rules
of steamer construction heretofore &C
cepted as inviolable by the builders
Of the world generally. Ordinarily it
has been the custom to place the pro-
pellers aft OF the stern. but this icono-
elastic inventor proposes to locate them
well under the hull, where they will
work, according to his calculations, in
body Of comparatively dead water.
In torpedo boats and similar speedy
small craft the propeller shafts have
been extended rearwardly OF the stern
in an endeavor to attain this same OBJ
ject-namely. to place the propellers
in dead or undisturbed water away
from the wash and swirl caused by the
agitation Of the water through which
the hull has passed
The blade propeller is also to be
abandoned. being replaced by a spiral
blade, which makes at least one com
plete turn about the shaft, II being
assumed that this construction will
result in greater efficiency by the
avoidance OF the pounding. lifting OF
water and the cayitation inherent in
the customary form Of propeller Maxi.
mum carrying capacity and speed
with minimum engine power is also
sought by designing the hull along the
familiar scov lines. resulting in a very
light draft
1t is asserted that the engine power
necessary to obtain a predetermined
speed In a boat Of given length is di
rectly proportional to the depth Of the
hull. and, moreover, a lght-draft de
sign Of hull lends itself readily to tbs
use Of multiple propellers. located par
allel to its length in a comparatively
undisturbed body OF water. Finlik,
keels are provided. which serve TIL
double purpose OF supplying and car
rying the several propeller shafts ant
of protecting the latter from injury b,
striking distractions or fouling by en-
tanglement with weeds or grasses.

NOT HARD TO CARVE GLASS.


Diamonds Are Not Needed In cutdna
the Brittle Substance.
II often occurs that glass tubes Of
various dimensions have to be cut
where a diamond Is not at hand. as IN
shops and power plants where oil and
water gauge tubes must be neatly TT
ted The usual method adopted Is to
hle small groove around the tube and
separate the glass with q sharp rap
at the place weakened by the file The
result Is not always satisfactory, be
cause the ends often break uneyenly
owing to the difficulty Of making
straight groove with the file Better
results are obtained when only a small
incision Is made with a file. just
enough TO cut through the enamel Of
the tube on one side. and not all
around. While the tube is still warm
from the friction Of the file the tube
Is then taken between the thumbs and
forefngers, the thumbs opposite the
file incisIon, snd the forehngers around
the tubing. close, but not covering the
incision. Pressure OF the thumbs in
variably causes the tube to break In as
straight and clean line as though cut
with a diamond
Another method Is to Use a fine saw
blade Cthe finer toothed the better. for
a saw Is only another form OF fle). and
this should be kept fed with fine EN-
cry, carborundum, OF puiverized silica
sand or hard grit. moistened with cam

Essence of Orange Leaves

One OF the remarkable Industries Of
Paraguay is the preparation Of the es-
sence of orange leaves. More than $50
years ago the Jesuit priests, who then
ruled that secluded country, imported
orange seeds and planted groves, which
have now become immense forests,
filed with small establishments for ex.
tracing the essence. which is exported
to France and the United States fol-
use in soap and perfumery making. II
is also employed by the natives in
Paraguay as healing ointment and g

and perhaps in a week or two you will
have something to remember this oc-
casion by"
Rob thought he would, too, If his
W plans did not fail.
Elyin stood over him while he
studied the names on the lists.
List number one was made up OF
names and addresses in cities of South
America, mast of them being in Ar
gentina. Some we're even in New York,
a few in London and Paris. There
were about 300 in all. List number
two, or those to whom the cipher was
to be sent, were men in the republic,
most OF them with some kind of a mil
itary title. Rob's curiosity was aroused
at this, and he resolved to read the
cipher, If possible. There were about
q hundred OF these names. List number
three, to whom the Loyalty" letter
was to be sent, were scattered all over
the world, but most of them were civ
ilians in South American countries.
1t was clear to Rob that he had mere
than one days work before him. he
began at once. He was methOdlca IN
habit, and as he wrote a letter from
form number one he would address an
envelope from list number one, and
then check off hat name. Elvin
watched him do this a few times, and
then, with a satisfied nod OF his head,
he walked out.
OF course, letter number M was not
clear to Rob. 1t was evidently a form
previously agreed upon among the con-
spirators, to be sent under certain con-
ditions. Rob soon had it word for
word in his memory, and wrote the
letters rapidly. But 1t took him till
late in the afternoon to finish list num-
Der one. He had stopped for lunch, but
ate alone. Capt. Elvin did not re-
turn.
1t had begun to grow dark, and Rob
