YACHTING FOR RICH AND POOR.
Changes that Have Come About in the
 Sport in Recent Years.

Changes that Have Come About in the
 Sport in Recent Years.
 When yachting first become popu- lar sport and pastirne it was so costly that only the rich could enjoy it. The popularity of yachting may be said to have started in this country with the organization of the New York Yacht Club in 1854. There were yachts be- fore that time, but the yachtsmen who met on board the Gimcrack gave the sport a boom and it has been growing in popularity ever since. For many years only those who had plenty of cash to spare could own and race yachts, and the sport was rich man s luxury. The cost of building and main taining yachts increased and the sport is probably now the most expensive in the world. if it is indulged in i'll a first class way. Yachts are built for the very wealthy nowadays that rival ocean steamships in their size and speed. They are fitted with every modern convenience and everything that money can purchase is put. or board these floating palaces, so that these boats can only be supported by multimillionaires. w It is the same in the first classes of racing yachts. These boats are now 1 much larger than they were years ago They are built of metals that have in- ] creased their cost. The sails and rig ging are specially designed for them
 and to own a big racing sloop ol schooner one needs 8 very long purse ! Taken as a whole, though, yachting is not nearly as expensive as it used f to be, if one is content to indulge in a moderate way Boats are built for racing each season that cost $100 each and upward, and the owners of these small boats get as much fun out of them as those who own 90 footers.
 In cruising boats, too, vessels can be | purchased for a very small outlay and with a little care the cost of main | taining them is moderate, and mar
 who has a liking for the water car have all the enjoyment he wants fo1
 a little money. He will have to work | of course. He must run his boat him. i self It costs money to hire and keer
 a crew, but those yachtsmen who have
 not money to burn enjoy this work l and if the boat is one that requires

THE c4PE-To-CAIRo RAILRoAD.

Tn an address to civil engineers in London recently Mir. G. A. Hobson stat
 ed that six-tenths of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad are already completed, and bN the end of this year seven-tenths will have been completed. The uncompleted tenths, however, sesm almost impossi- ble under existing conditions. There is no considerable traffic for the portion of the route between Khartoum and the Zambesi, and the construction of that portion presents great engineering difficulties. Cecil Rhodes ideas have, however, fascinated capitalists as well as the general public, and money has been found for his South African schemes past all expectation. The mag mates of finance have their sentimental side, it appears, as well as other peo-
 pie, and a large idea sometimes appeals to them powerfully. The recent bridg- ing of the zambesi river at Victoria Falls and the extension of the road many miles north of the river for the development of valuable copper and other mines are achievements which without the impulse of imperial senti- ment might have had to wait twenty years more for their accomplishment. Mir Hobson surprised some of his hear CTS by stating that Beira has "the finest larbor on the east coast of South Africa" and that the branch railroad thither from the Cape-to- Cairo line is to be provided "soon'' with up-to-date terminal facilities. Hitherto it has been almost wholly unprovided with dock and wharf accommodations. Lorenzo Marquez, it's rival, is already, it is stated, much improved.

three or four hands to handle he can always find some kindred spirits who will always help him out in the work. and very often two or three will club together and have a small sloop which they will run on cooperative plan.
 A small cruising sloop or yawl can be purchased for from s300 to $500. There are many of these boats around here. and they are sound and sea- worthy. They are boats which have been discarded by the more wealthy members of the yachting fraternity who have grown tired of them, and perhaps want something better of fas- ter. A little work and an outlay of $40 or $50 at the most each spring will put this craft in good shape for the season, and then it is not hard to keep it up. When two or three own a small boat between them, they usually keep it at one of the small yacht club an- chorages not far from the city. Some times they will live on one of these boats all the summer, using it as sort of houseboat during the week and making short cruises in it on Satur- days, Sundays and holidays.
 Different schemes are adopted for meals. Often these men will get their own meals, taking turns acting as cook. Sometimes they will get their meals on shore. and if they have a lit- tie money to spare they can hire a man who will do their cooking and help take care of the boat To do this will cost about $50 month, and the money is we'll invested.
 The one design classes have done much to cheapen the cost of maintain ing a racing boat, and these classes have also done much to develop the

 One design classes became popular some years ago. At first a few were built and raced and the attraction of these classes appealed so to the yachts men that every year since then they have been growing more popular New York Sun.

The Santa Barbara lighthouse has been kept by a woman, Mrs. Julia F. Williams, for thirty-eight years. Tn 1856 lighthouse was erected two miles south of Santa Barbara, and President Franklin Pierce appointed Albert J. William to be the keeper. In 1865, near the close of the civil war, Mrs. Will Hams was appointed keeper to succeed her husband, who had died. She has had the longest service of any keeper on the coast.

Perhaps there is such thing as per- petuaI motion. A thirty-thousand year clock has been discovered by the Hon. H. C. Strut of England. Strictly speaking, of course, "clock" is hardly the word to apply to it, for it is in no sense a timepiece, although it is said that it will go for some 30,0OO years unless the wear of it's parts destroys it before that time. One-twelfth of a grain of radium is hung over a small electroscope made of two thin strips of silver. These, charged with electricity emanating from the radium, move apart, touch the sides of the vacuum tube in which they are fixed, transfer their charge to an aluminium wire (thus ringing a belD, are discharged, fall to- gether again and then apart again, and so on for the 3O,O0O years or so already mentioned.

The following extract from a school girls essay comes from a high school in India, and was published in the monthly magazine of the school: King Henry 8, was the greatest widower that ever lived. He was born at Anna Dom- iro in the year 1066. He had 51O wies, besides children. The 1st was behead- ed. the 2d revoked. She never smiled again. But she said the word Calais would be found in her heart after her death. The greatest man in this reign was Lord Sir Garrett Wolsey. He was sirnaned the Boy Bachelor.

The total is- sue since the inception of the society has reached the colossal figures of 192,- 100000 The list now includes the com- plete Bible in 100 languages, the New Testament in 94, and at least one book of Scripture in 1s6 more. Some $50 ,ooO copies of the Russian and Japanese Scriptures have been distributed among the belligerents in the Far East.

Great things are expected from the submarine telephone by officers of the United States navy. The principles un- deriving it are very different from those of wireless telegraphy. In the latter the telegraphic impulses are transmit ted through the air or ether by cleo tricity. In the submarine telephone sound waves travel through water un- aided by any electrical force. Water, being denser than air, acts as better sound conductor. It transmits sound four and half times as fast as air, 1,10o feet a second being the rate in the atmosphere, while in water it is 4,712 feet or almost mile second.

School Land Law Suit.

State Land Commissioner E. w.
Ross is a party to bitterly COM
tested case now pending in the SUI
prere court of this state which in
wolves an exceedingly important if
not to say interesting question con-
corning the state school lands. For a
five year lease upon a piece Of school
land upon which no lease has yet been
signed or issued the state land com
missioner has two bids-one for $500,
a price agreed upon with the commits
sioner, and the other for $4,000, put
in before the deal had been closed up.
He insists upon accepting the smaller
bid, and has been temporarily en-
joined. The defense which the com
missioner presents to the supreme
court, is that the matter is one solely
between the state and the chosen bid.
der, and that the larger bidder has no
legal rights in the matter and that
the acceptance Of the one bid over an
other is entirely optional with the com.
missioner. The largest bidder main
tains that he has a right to interpose
and that the discretion which the com.
missioner has must be exercised by
the same rules as would guide man
in the management of his own bust.
ness, or such as would be required of
a trustee or receiver by a court in the
administration of the affairs of any
other trust estate. OF course, if the
commissioner is right and he has a
right to thus let the school lands in
private and without competition, II
could result in an immense loss an.
nually to the school fund. In this one
case alone it amounts to over five
thousand dollars. Hon. E. B. Palmer

for the opposite side.
