ARMY CRAFT IN SECTIONS.
Vessel Intended for Prompt Han
ding of Troops and Sup
plies in War.

A most unique and interesting Sec
tional steamer has recently been con-
structed for the United States engineers
office of the army department, with the
idea of having boat that could be
transported on a large steamer or war;
ship and assembled where required for
service in moderate seaway. Nothing
of similar nature has ever been con-
structed, reports the American Inven-
tor, making this boat of particular in
terest, as the parts are arranged so as
to be readily put together and are self
locking.
The boat is built of steel, with twin
screws, and has two compound engines
and Seabury water tube boiler. The
vessel is 80 feet long, with a draft of
3.5 feet and beam of 50 feet She has
displacement of II tons and operates
at speed Of II knots per hour. The
section containing the engines has a
space cut off fore and aft, 11.5 feet, with
an inside bulkhead for the officers quar-
tiers.
The sections are fitted with cones, one
foot two inches in diameter. In the Sec
ton next to the engine is boiler install
lation, which includes storage tanks for
water and fuel bunkers for 16, 900 pounds
of coal. The engine section contains
two double cylinder compound engines
with nine-inch stroke, the high pressure
cylinders measuring six inches in d.
ameter and the low pressure cylinders
IL inches. The section ahead of that con-
tanning the boiler installation has quar-
tiers for crew of 20 men and also serves
as hold for the cargo, while the bow
section has the necessary store lockers
and carries the chain and anchor equip
ment, as well as derrick.
The boom and derrick mast provided
have capacity of Il, 900 pounds, the for
ward deck also having hatchways which
are provided with watertight covering
flush with the deck. There are two light
boats with davits on the steel deck,
which is constructed to carry a load Of
10000 pounds, concentrated on truck
of four wheels, having an eight-foot
wheel base. There is windlass on the
deck of each section and steel cable
to connect the sections, bolts being used
for reinforcement and when the steel
deck is in place each section of the steam
er becomes water-tight compartment.
1t is stated that this type of vessel will
be of special service for the prompt
handling of troops and ammunitions in
time of war, the necessary war material,
provisions and men being easily trans
ferred from the army transport to any
coast where it is necessary to make a
landing.

four wedges are cut apart after being
shaped in single block. In addition
to the small one-quarter-inchg grooves,
shown in the cross-sections of the two
shelves at G and D in Fig. 172, small
strip one-quarter inch wide and one
eighth inch in thickness should be glued
on the upper side at the front of each, as
shown on the shelf c at x. This strip
can be omitted if desired, but it adds not

Fish Unaccounted For.

"Old" Gorton, of Manchester, was an
ardent disciple of Izaak Walton. On one
occasion he was sitting upon the rail-
road bridge in company with some OF
the young men of the town, pursuing his
favorite occupation. The fish did not
bite well, however, and one of his COM
panions, becoming impatient, unnoticed
by the old man, got up, wound up his
line and started for home, throwing a
couple of fish into Gorton's basket as
he passed.
After time Gorton, too, tired of his
poor luck, prepared for departure. Lift
ing the cover of his basket, he looked in,
counted his catch and said, with sur
prised and disappointed voice: why,

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
and commentator testifying to the
merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,

the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.

AS he took the first bite she noticed
an expression on his face which she
had not hitherto associated with the
consumption of ham sandwiches. and
her glance Immediately ceahed to be
casual. The guest, unconscious Of OBJ
servation. made his way slowly but
surely to the fire, and with Infinite
Gexterity cast away the ham sandwich
In great agitation, the hostess watched
the remaining sandwiches. and with
deepening emotion saw another and
another guest execute the same man
euver. She had the rest Of the sand
wiches removed. and tried to forget
them for the time being. Afterwards
