The ordinary Philadelphia) ice cream is
made with cream, sugar and fiavoring, and
the Neapolitan with custard of different
degrees of richness. Both are stirred while

Spreads through the land and lingering

With laggard footsteps, yet awhile to dream
Amid the light of autumn trees ablaze.

MANY-MASTED SCHOONERS.

Seven Masts and Even Six Considered
Too Many for Various Reasons, Some of
Which are Given Below.
Since the seven-masted schooner
Thomas W. Lawson was built in 1902,
frequent reference has been made in
the public prints to her great earning
capacity, and several fast trips that she
has made from the Chesapeake to Bos-
ton, which leads TO the general belief
that she has been prosperous. Still
there has been no effort made to dupli-
cate her, neither have there been more
than one or two slX-maSters built since
the Lawson was launched, which, with
the fact that there has been III contem-
plation the removing of one and per-
haps two OF the Lawson's masts, is
doubtless the reason why there are no
more seven masters and only one six
master under construction at the
present time.
1t is a well-known fact among sailing
vessel navigators that fore daft
lower sail should be about three tifths
ing the sail good boom length, which
keep the gaff from going off too far in
a strong breeze, so as to spill the wind
out of the head of the sail Six and
seven masted schooners are obliged to
have their masts set closer together
than four and five masters, which mar
rows the sails SO that the gaff is off
against the lee rigging even with the
sheet trimmed fiat aft, hence there is a
great loss of wind and thereby propell-
ing power Nothing can be done to
remedy this, but to build longer and
consequently larger hulls. But that
would hardly do at the present time, as
the Lawson has had more or less
trouble in consequence of her great
length as a coaster, not being able to
take cargo for crooked-river ports, and
being a miSfit at many of the WharveS
in ports where she has had to discharge.
1t is the opinion of experts that five
masts in one vessel are enough for the
length such vessels should be built. To
build them much, if any, longer for the
coastWise trade makes them uuhandy
and shuts them out of many small
ports. That this rig is adaptable to
foreign-going as well as coastwise yes
sells is proven from the fact that the
five mast steel schooner kineo, built by
the Sewalls, of Bath, Me-, in 1903,
carried cargo of coal to the Philip
pines recently, and her master writes to
his owners that she behaved admirably
during the entire voyage, and she ell
countered some very heavy weather.
