FAST FLYERS OF THE SEAS
Auto-Boats Built. to- outstrip Any
thing That Floats on the
Water.

Picture boat about 40 feet long.
That would be practically the length OF
an ordinary street car. It is not five feet
wide, or much less than half the width of
the car, and is so made that when float
ing evenly on the water it draws about
eight inches. This beat, states Pear
sons Magazine, has sharp stem that
cuts cleanly through the water About
amidships the form of the hull is shaped
like the letter U, and toward the stern
the bottom is fattened so that it rests
on the top of the water. This is an auto
boat, built for speed: and if 1t has not
speed it is good for nothing. It is fitted
with powerful engine that will drive it
over the water at a rate of 20 miles an
hour or better, and everything in the
model and construction Of the boat has
been sacrificed to speed.
. Speed. speed-that is the one idea Of
the sportsman nowadays. He wants to
have the fastest of whatever his fad is
This speed is to win little glory for
short time; and then when some one
wrests that glory away by producing
something speedier, the search for more
speed is carried on further, and there
seems to be no limit. Marine engineers
say that the limit Of speed must be
reached some time, but each year finds
boats that were champions of the pre-
vious season relegated to the second
rank, and speedier craft take their
places at the head of the list.
Now the fad is for fast launches, Eau
toboats'' they are called, because the
motor that drives the prope1lers of these.
boats is similar to those used in auto
mobiles. These boats are simply shells
with motors as powerful as can be con
structed, and as delicate as the mechan-=
ism of fine watch. The shells are SO
thin that one wonders how they hold
together; but they do, and the boats
dart about the water, rivaling the mace
of the railroad trains and leaving be-
hind them cruisers and steamers that
have won worldwide fame for their
speed. + 80

MIGRATION OF SQUIRRELS.
Singular Sight Witnessed by Audu-
bon from an Ohio River
Flatboat.

There was some excuse for killing
squirrels in early times, for they were
a great pest, being great thieves OF
seed corn and green corn. More than
q dozen different varieties were indi-
genous to the United States, but the
best known was the common gray or
migratory squirrel. says Youths Com
panion: It was called migratory on ac-
count Of the long journeys it some
times made. Occasionally, for reasons
OF their own, probably in search Of
food, these squirrels used to migrate
from one part of the country to an
other In great numbers. Once started
on ono OF these migratlons, neither
mountains nor rivers could stop them
and they devoured everything eatable
that came in their way. Audubon de-
scribes one which he witnessed: It
was in 1919. when we were descending
the Ohio river in a fatboat, chiefly
with the intention of seeking for birds
then unknown to us. About 100 miles
below Cincinnati, as we were floating
down the stream, we observed large
number OF squirrels swimming across
the river, and we continued to see
them at various places until. we had
nearly reached Smithland, a town
about 100 miles above the mouth OF
the OHIO. At times they were strewn
as sit It we're, over the surface Of the wa
ter, some Of them,s being fatigued,
sought 2 few moments rest on our
long steering oar, which hung into the
water In slanting direction over the
stern OF our boat. The boys along the
shores and In boats were killing the
SQUIRRELS In great numbers, although
most of them got across" %
