FRENcHMAN's SLIDING BOAT
Skins Along the Surface Of the Water
with Lightness and
Speed.

The fact that q stone can skim the
water If it's fiat surface strikes square,
ly has recently been put in practice
in the construction of sliding boat
by a French inventor, M. 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, says
the American Inventor. .s.
The boat constructed by M. de Lam
bert has total length of 20 feet, with
a width of ten feet between the in
clined 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, a metal which has been
used to large extent in the construc-
ton of the boat because of it's slight
weight.
The motor used is a II horsepower,
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 1000
pounds, but in order to move this
weight it requires a motor of only II
horsepower, while in the case of au-
tomobile boats the motors required are
60, 80 and even 100-horse power.
M. Belief says that M. de Lambert's
boat has been timed by official chronom-
eters, and that the results have been
surprising. When the motor is started
the boat commences to move with the
planes still submerged, cutting the wa
ter horizontally. But this lasts only
a short time; the planes show an in
Simultaneous tendency to rise, and they
are practically on the water at the end
of few meters. Then the speed quick
ly increases because Of the immense
diminution in resistance, and soon the
boat is sliding on the water, or, more
exactly, on a layer Of air resting be-
tween the planes and the water, at a
speed of IA, Is or Is miles an hour.

MUST KEEP SILENCE.
AMERICAN OFFICERS CANNOT
~ TALK OF WAR PLANS.
Example Of the japanese Navy
Will Be Emulated by the
Heads Of Our Own Sea
Forces.

One of the revelations OF Japanese
character and Japanese prudence that
the events of the last year and half
have furnished is the ability OF that
people to keep their own counsel. AS
a consequence, says the Detroit free
Press, they have sprung one surprise
after another upon the world, and this
has aroused so much wonder and ad-
miration that other countries, our own
among them, have undertaken to en-
ulate their discretion. It is now an
nounced that our navy department Will
hereafter order officers to keep silence
concerning matters affecting that arm
of the service. OF course, we contend
that our navy is the equal, if not the
superior, of any other in the world, but
that it's personnel has rather over
worked the boosted American freedom
of speech cannot be denied. In the bat
tie of the Korean strait there was hard
ly a question of division of honors; but
had there been it would not have taken
shape among the participants or in
official circles. The ascription OF sue
cess to the virtues of the emperor and
the spirits of their ancestors precluded
all controversy.
Then again, we can hardly imagine
a Japanese naval officer dragging in
the sovereign of neutral country in a
'Hoch der kaiser" me und Gott' in
cident, even as an afterdinner pleas
antry of club banquet. Without doubt
our tar;y heroes talk too much. They
are too free with their boasts and their
criticisms, and the same is true of the
military arm of the service. This anna
BILE weakness can perhaps be qualified
somewhat, but we doubt whether it can
be entirely eliminated. It is not alto
gether a matter that can be reached
by discipline 1t is not discipline that
is wholly or in large part responsible
for it among the Japanese. The virtue
of silence where silence works to their
advantage is an inherited quality.
Moreover, it has been often noted that
the United States and the east, Japan
especially, represent two opposite types
of national expression. Here individ-
ualism asserts itself; there the indi-
yidual is absorbed in the state. There
fore the secrets of the army and navy
are state secrets, and no individual
would any more think Of disclosing
them than the arm of man would move
until the brain willed it. Here we regard
our knowledge and our ideas as our own,
to do with as we will. We resent any
challenge of that right, and probably the
new regulation will be stigmatized by
those to whom it applies as gag or
der" There is more hope that we can
successfully emulate the Japanese hos
pital service than their practice of off,
cial silence. Certainly wehave never yet
been able to do what Japan has done,
which is to mystify and defeat the best
newspaper correspondents in the world.

STORY OF HISTORIC GEM.
Diamond That Shone in Royal
Crowns and Swords Stolen
by Thieves.

The Pitt diamond was first employed,
after it became one Of the crown jewels
of France, in the ornamentation Of the
crown that was made for the coronation
of King Louis XIV, in 1922. In 1871
it was entered in an inventory of crown
Jewels that was compiled by order Ut
the national assembly during the revo-
luton and it was deposited at the Garde
Meubel after the assembly had deter
mined to sell it if buyer at suitable
price could be found. But no offer was
made, and so it happened that in Sep
TENDER it was stolen with other jewels
by a band of men who broke into the
Garde Meuble. 1t was secreted by the
thieves in a hole in the timber work Of
a garnet in a low, lodging, and there it
remained some time. 1t was at length
discovered by the republican authori-
ties and deposited in the national treas
ury.
1t was not again disturbed until 1904,
when it was set in the pommel of the
sword which Napoleon wore when he
crowned himself emperor at Notre
Dame In Paris. Empress Marie
Louise carried it off with other crown
jewels to Blois, after Emperor Napoleon
was banished to Elba, but her father,
Emperor Francis of Austria, obtained
it from her and sent it to Louis XVIII.
That king, on Napoleon's return from
Elba, fled with it to Client, but after
Waterloo returned with it to Paris. In
1880 the diamond was used by King
Charles K. at his coronation, but since
then it has not been employed at any
ceremonial. Shortly after the fall of the
second empire many of the crown jew
els of France were sold by the repub-
lican government for the benefit of the
state. But no buyer was found for the
Pitt, or Regent, diamond and it remains
in safe custody at the Louvre.
