to a float bag (Which is not seer here),
and this bag serves at the same time
to supply the air which is required for
working the carburetor during the time
when the box may be sunk below the
surface of the water. This Is only for
emergencies, however, and in general
the carburetOr takes the air through a
suitable pipe from the outside. A set
OF valves control the air supply in these
cases. For cooling the motor cylinder,

the water comes from the outside and
leave the box again through suitable
openings on either side Of the case.
Gasoline Is supplied from an aluminium
tank OF square section, which Is fitted
against the back of the case.
Attached to each side Of the main
case is an air bag of some size which
serves as a float. The swimmer is seat
ed upon a projecting saddle formed of
a metal plate covered with cork. The
saddle is hinged to the box in order to
fold it up when not in use, and ut the
outer end Is attached an air float which

straps are fastened in place by a hook

The cruiser Boston, which met with

She was in command of Rear Admiral
George Francis Fazon Wilde, then a
captain. Prior to the declaration of

1880 miles to the south Of H~ongkong,
In a Korean port. when one day a tele-

read something like this:
"War with Spain. Hurry to Hong

Captain Wilde instantly cleared his
ship for action and started ut full speed
for HOngkOng, where he arrived three
or four days later, with every gun
loaded and every man at his gun ready
to fight at the sight of a Spanish flag.

Interior Of That Country ver

The threatened depletion Of the for
ests of the United States and the in
creasing demand for lumber of every
variety have turned the attention of
those interested in lumber industries
to the necessity Of seeking other
sources of supply.

bureau of III and labor:

small. All the lumber used in this
town and vicinity for construction pur-
poses is imported from the United
States.
"A small amount only of the ma
hogany. cedar and other hard woods
has been c'lt lear the rivers. Many
concessions for exploiting mahogany
lands in this district have been granted
by the Honduras government. and short
tramways are being planned to get out
the logs. but these will do nothing with
the vast forests in the interior, al
though the expectation of mahogany
should show a decided increase in the
next few years.
AT present there does not appear to
be any way to utilize the pine timber
resources Of Honduras-as the pine Is
found almost wholly In the interior
until the country is supplied with trans.
portation by railroads."

You hardly see how one would care
70 60 in swimming every day
Some thirteen times or anywhere
Below a hundred. we will say;
Beneath the hot and blistering sun
Upon the sands for hours to sit
And then to call the torture fun:
But that's the boy Of It.
A dip into the placid lake,
A loaf along the sandy shore,
Most any one would like to take
For twenty minutes, less or more;
But who would like to dive and swim
And swim and dive and never quit?
No gentleman, full grown and prim;
But that's the boy Of It.
1t doesn't seem that one would wish
To be in soak the summer through,
Half human being and half fish,
A fitting subject for the zoo;
TO be turned yellow by the sun
And by the fierce mosquitoes bit
And call it only chastened fun;
But that's the boy of It.
The river or the swimming hole,
Or any place where it Is wet,
Out where the salty breakers roll.
There you will find a boy, you bet.
In garb that nature handed him,
A bathing suit that's bound to fit,
You'll find the youngster in the swim.
For that's the boy Of it.
