A WATER BOAT AND MILL.
Tin Pan and Tall Lamp Chimney Con-
stitute Parts Of Interesting
Apparatus.

OF course any boat, unless it happens
to be an iceboat, a stone boat. or a
gravy boat, may be called a water boat;
but am speaking Of boat driven by
water as we'll az through water. Its
principal parts are tin pan and tall
lamp chimney. Close the small end
Of the chimney with a cork, into which
a rubber, bent glass, OF lead tube IS
tightly fitted; prop the chimney up In
the pan with the small tube projecting
over the rim, I'LL the chimney with
water and set the chimney craft afloat
IL will move with the ease and grace
Of turtle, though not so fast, until all
the water has run out, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. You can produce better
imitation OF speed by using, instead OF
the pan, little wooden boat Of more
shipshape model with the water tube
projecting over the stern. but unless
the vessel is very broad Of beam 1t will
capsize
In fact, the boat is made not 10 90

ing at all; and another illustration OF
the same principle is given by the
water mill now TO be described
The mill is made Of the same lamp
chimney, or another, with corks or
plugs in both ends. Instead Of one
water tube II has two, three, four, or
more, going out like the spokes OF
wheel and bent at the end-all In the
same direction. The chimney is set up
right between two pivots, which press
against the upper and lower plugs, and
is filled with water through a hole In
the upper plug, which also serves TO ad-
NIT air when the mill is turning The
only use for the top plug, In fact. is to
give point Of support, aud the yes
sci must be open TO the air at the top.
AS the water flows out through the little
tubes the mill turns the opposite d.
rection, and II there is not too much
friction at the pivots Il will soon be
spinning rapidly. The water boat and
the water mill are examples Of what
are called reaction machines The prin-
ciple they illustrate is that, generally
speaking, you cannot move anything
without moving something else In the
opposite direction. In both Of these
cases as the water is forced outinthe d.

The Impression that Mr.. Powell had
been unduly active in the interests of
the Syrians and incidentally had con-
tributed to the agitation against the
Haytien government was shown to be
erroneous. Mr.. Powelfs own reports
made it clear that he actually had
been doing his utmost to conserve the
peace and to aid the Haytien govern
ment in it's effort in the same direction.
A misrepresentation had existed on
that point. so that Mr. Powells status
is likely to be improved as the outcome
of Mr.. Leger's visit to the state de-
