FRENCHMANS SLIDING BOAT.
skins Along Surface of the Water at a
Good Speed.

The fact that stone can skim the
water if its fiat surface strikes squarriy
has recently been put in practice in the
construction of Il sliding boat by
French inventor, NJ. de Lambert. The
friction which is present when the de
Lambert boat slides over the water is
very slight, and the power which is
necessary in order to make the boat glide
is not high. When the boat is at rest
it is supported by floats.
The boat constructed by NJ. de Lam
bert has a total length of 20 feet, with
a width of 10 feet between the inclined
planes upon which it slides. The boat
has parallel floats resembling certain
Asiatic canoes. The two floats are very
narrow and are united by crosspieceS,
partly of wood and partly of aluminium,
metal which has been used to Il large
extent in the construction of the boat
because of it's slight weight.
The motor used is a 12-horse power,
but the essential parts of the boat are
fixed sliding planes, adjusted under the
boat at carefully regulated distances
from each other. These planes, which
are made of wood, are immersed to a
depth of several centimeters when the
boat is at rest, and they are inclined
at an angle which has been decided upon
after wide experimentation. The total
weight of the boat is about ZOO pounds,
but in order to move this weight it re
quires motor of only 12-horse power.
while in the case of automobile boats
the motors required are Co. 50 and even
100-horse power.
NJ. Belief says that NJ. de Lambert 5
boat has been timed by official chroE-
ometers. and that the results have been
surprising. When the motor is started
the boat commences to move with the
planes still submerged, cutting the WI
ter horizontally But this lasts only Il
short time; the planes show an in>taa-
taneous tendency to rise, and they gre
practically on the water at the end Of
few meters. Then the speed quickly H'
creases because of the immense dlW-uH'
ton in resistance. and soon the boat IS
sliding on the water. or, more eNa'.if,
on a LAYER of air resting between the
planes and the water. at a speed OIL

BRAIN is REMOVED.
London Surgeon Performs Most Daring
Operation.

There is great deal of secrecy about
the illness of Countess Telfener, Mrs
John Mackay's sister, but now it is
known that Sir Victor Hortsey per-
formed on her onc of the most wonderful
operations ever conceived. much less eX-
ecuted For twenty years the countess
has been martyr to 5Xcruciating neu-
ralgia. She tried every sort of cure in
England and on the American continent
fruitlessly. During the last six months
her continuous pain was beginning to
threaten her reason and she agreed 10
submit to the knife. 1t was such an
appalling process that one of the nurses
tainted, but to the great joy of all con
cerned it was pronounced Il success
First of all, piece of skull was sawed
away. Then the whole brain was taken
ont and the nerve which caused all the
pain literally torn away.
1t was a fearful task and il was with
terrible difficulty that the nerve was dis
entangled from the brain, but Sir Vie
and with as much calmness as though
bandaging Il finger he replaced the brain,
filed up the hole and sewed up the open
scalp wound. Those who saw him de-
clared that when he had finished and the
patient pronounced still alive he went
white as death. He did not utter
word for some time.
Countess Telfener has not had the
slightest twinge of the old pain since
Indeed, except for necessary attention
and the Inconvenience of the outside

COMB WITH REMOVABLE TEETH.

sistance is an experience often resulting
in damage to the comb, but more disas-
trOus yet in its liability to be knocked
from the shelf and in falling to the floor
suffer severe damage.
A comb with teeth that can be re-
moved and replaced has been recently
designed by a New York inventor and
who has been given patent on the
same. 1t consists of back supplied with
Il longitudinal recess and wire hinged
to the back at one end. The latter is
meant to receive the individual teeth and
when closed to hold their butts firmly
in the recess. Thus, at any time it will
be possible to take out broken teeth or
replace them with new ones.
