Making Them Shipshape
The after part of the boat may be
fitted with cushions and hood so that
the boat can be converted into pleas
ure cruiser, or 1t may contain provis-
ions. munitions or anything that may
be required, but the one idea the build
ers have kept constantly in mind is
that of a boat capable of maintaining
high rate Of speed when required
and yet having a shipshape look for
ordinary use. Owing to the special de-
sign OF both and her machinery It has
been possible to fulfll these somewhat
difficult requirements
The machinery OF one Of these motor
boats consists OF an eighty horse power

Of which may be seen by referring to
the diagram. The engine is suspended
on horn plates, held to fore and aft
bearers, which in turn are stayed to
the boat by gussets. The reversing
gear is carried on the same bearers

whether ahead or astern; it is purely a
locked shaft without running gears of
any kind, the spindle only of which is
in motion. This gearbox is filled with
oil, which lubricates the bearings when

The boat may be controlled to nice

oil. which is actuated with very little
effort; in fact the clutch may be forced
out by merely pressing one finger on

a bronze stern bearing, where 1t is

THE OBSTINATE LUNATIC
Physicians Argument Had No Effect
on One Man

The late DR.. Leroy M. Taylor, the
eccentric hermit and orientalist of
Washington, devoted some years of his
early life to the study of insanity, and
he would sometimes discuss insanity in
an interesting way:
"Obstinacy, invincible obstinacy, is
a phase of insanity that attracts me-
he said one day. II have often tried
with all my ingenuity to drive delusions
out of the heads Of obstinate lunatics,
but 1 have never succeeded. The OBJ
stinate lunatics were always cleverer
than 1.
II once knew an insane chemist who
declared that he was dead. l said to
him: Now, sir, you know you are not
dead. Why not admit it?
al admit nothing, said the chemist.
I am dead
"'Dead men, said /, don't bleed.
Their blood doesn't circulate. VIII you

experiment, so as to see whether you

"'How deep would you cut2 the
lunatic asked gruffiy.
"'Oh, a mere scratch answered.

trifugal pump having large capacity
and driven directly by a chain from
the crank shaft. The exhaust consists
Of water jacketed receiver, into
which the exhaust pipes lead. The re-
ceiver discharges it's contents into a
water jacketed pipe, which in turn per-
n1its the exhaust gases to pass into a
silencer, and then overheard, by which
arrangement the exhaust gases leave
the boat without noise and in such a
manner that they are rendered practi-
cally invisible. The petrol is carried
in tank slowed away in the hold and
is pumped up as required to feed the
tank above the engine under the for
ward part of the turtleback.
The boat can be controlled easily by
one man, and a crew of two is ample
to do everything that is required. AS
racer she met the redoubtable Ger
man crack Blitzmaedel at Kiel and de-
the Trehe-a-Quatre, the formidable
French champion, proved that she was
quick to get away and could easily
maintain her speed.
The reliability trials organized by
the Automobile club showed that she
could run for twenty hours without a
stop and do fifty per cent more mile

lands motor boats. With her enorm-
Gus radius of action Mr., Edge be-
lieves that a person viii have to live

have been watched. This is the point
Mr.. Edge wishes to prove by lending
his motor boats to the admiralty. Ac-
cordng to the same authority, motor
boats offer the only means thus far
devised of attacking the enemys sub
marines. Behind a motor boat a tor
pedo can be trailed. The submarine
outside port can be sighted and ex-
ploded and a rapid return made with
out giving the enemy a chance of re-
tallation, for the motor boat is praeti-
cally immune from attack by tor
pedo.
The hull of the Napier Minar consists
of three slices of mahogany sewn to-
gether with copper wire. and, though
extremely light. is much stronger than
the ordinary type of boat. The hull
is painted gray outside and the decks
are painted white. while the interior
fittings are of polished mahogany. The
launch is divided into two parts, the
forward containing the machinery, the
