Motorboat Moves
On Air Ball Bearings
Special Correspondence to The Star.

Special Correspondence to The Star.
LONDON, May 10, 1905.
TT the sanguine expectations OF the in
ventor are realized we are soon to witt
ness a revolution in motor boats. In
stead OF forcing their way through the
water amid a smother Of spray the new
type of craft will skim lightly over the
surface on a succession of air bubbles or
globules that may be likened TO ball bear
ings.
The practicabiity of the idea is to be put
to the test in boat now in course OF con-
struction by Saunders, q noted boat builder
at Goring on the upper Thames. In shape
the boat is mere box. some thirty-three
feet long by eight feet wide, the bottom
sloping upward at the forward end, FORM
ing scow-shaped bow. She is not pretty,
but in these hustling days 1t is accounted
no sin to sacrifice beauty TO speed. On each
side and amidshps are fixed three stout
keels, each about eight inches deep. Be-
tween these, on each side OF the center
keel, are seven other lighter plates OF about
half the depth, making seventeen In all,
extending the full length of the bottom OF
the boat. Between the fms or plates are
a number of holes sloptng aft. They are
connected with an air compressor driven py
a motor engine.
The boat depends for propulsion on the
reaction of the Jets of air from these ORR
striking the water. At the same time the
air Is prevented by the fms from escaping
to the sides OF the boat, and thus. IL is
claimed, is formed species of air bed be-
tween the water and the bottom OF the
hoat over which the craft will glide with
much greater velocity than could be at
tained IL forced through the water in the
ordinary fashion by propeller: 1t sounds
daiIghtfuIly simple in theory, but even to
the law mind II is obvious that TO sustain
the weight of the boat the air bed would
have to be at considerable pressure. which

amornt of power. But the inventor Is no

SPED ~ TYPESETTiNG

type is manufactured as 1t is needed, and
each line drops into its proper place below
the line which preceded it. The spacing
is done automatically. When the type has
served It's purpose it is thrown back into
the melting kettle only to go through the
same process again and again. The tiny
brass mold that fell into line at the touch
of the keys are carried back by an auto
matte device to their original positions, only
to respond again when it is their turn to
make another type And wonderful as the
invention is, its product is very little differ
ent from the hand-set type. The great
value of the machine Is the time it saves,
and the resulting ability to get news into
print" 1t is only another cog In that re-
markable wheel that enables the world to
hurry.
What may be the cause of this nerve
racking rush of the present day? Is 1t not
merely that each man has to hurry in or
der to keep pace with his neighbors? II
some great benefactor could form a speed

their time he would add ma terially to hui

fellow would slow up the problem would
be solved.

ual, taking his time. Probably he Is going
to a store to make a purchase, but he has
an idea that the store will await his arri-

away if they do not hurry. You can jot
1t down in your note book that the leisurely

does not belong in New York. But the
next day he walks faster, and soon the
mania has made him It's victim. In two
weeks he is moving as rapidly any one.
When he gets back to his home town he
runs away from his neighbors, and is in
such a hurry about everything that the
town is questioning his sanity. Slowly his
speed slackens, and in another two weeks
he is back in the old gait, to the great sat
isfaetion of his friends.

necessary spaces and punctuation. Then
as he completed each line he had to space
OUT so that the line would be uniform in
length with the others. But even with all
this detail men became expert and scarce
ly any one ever thought of setting type by
machinery.
Then, with hardly a moments warning,
the typesetting machine was placed on the
market So marvellous were the things
claimed for it by it's inventor that at first
he could not sell enough stock to make

with speed in railroad transportation there
should be mentioned the successful at
tempt made several months ago by one of
the flyers of a great railroad system to
clip two hours off the schedule time be-
tween New York and Chicago This great
distance was Travelled by the special train
in sixteen hours, and a record was
hung up in railroad transportation.
There was time when the pilgrim

Island, breaking the silence with Yolleys
from their old-fashioned guns. month
ago the silence of this same island was
broken by the putting and snorting of au-
tomobiles as they hurried along at the rate
of ninety miles an hour. But even this
rapid pace was slow as compared with the
performance at Ormond Beach some time
ago, when a record of two miles In one
minute was established by the driver of
a motor machine.
The mania for speed is apparent in every
industry. The early newspapers contained
only two pages and appeared once a week
(often only once a month";. because that
much time was needed to set the type and
print the paper. Today something impor-
tant occurs at o'clock in the afternoon,
a reporter is sent for an account OF the
occurrence. The story is written-perhaps
a column long-is edited, put In type and
at haIf-past o'clock the public on the

The great progress along this line is IN

years ago. all type was set by hand. The
conpositor took his stick in one hand

sars The only village communes In Po-
land that paid the taxes for 1905 in full
were those in which the inhabitants had
followed the revival. But the Polish pa
triots, who had organized an anti-tax-pay-
Ing crusade, and the higher clergy, who
still adhere to the traditions of the Roman
Catholic priests in Poland and look upon
patriotism as an inseparable adjunct to
their religious faith, were aroused to the
greatest Indignation by these tenets, which,
IL adopted by the Polish people, will entire

Extreme measures were resorted to by
the bishop of Flock, who sent the 'Cuffer''
priests from her diocese to other govern
ments. hoping that when far away from
the nest of the movement and Kozlowska
they would forget about their revival. But,
as a matter Of fact this plan only served
to spread 1t throughout the districts in
which the disgraced clerics settled. The
archbishop of Warsaw then determined to

the Russian authorities, who refused to in
terfere in the matter, and KozloWska
stayed where she was. About this time she
had another vision, in which she said she
had learned that the anti-Christ was born
a year or two before in a small town in
Spain, and that it was the mission OF the
Teviyalists to wage war against him as
soon as he was grown up and to prepare
for the struggle in the meanwhile by max
ing as many converts to the new sect as
possible. Politics were to be abandoned,
the Russian government obeyed, and every
thing done to quiet Poland in order to give
as much time as possible to the crusade
against the anti-Chrtst.
The Russian government learned with
satisfaction that the priests belonging to
the new sect told their focks that they
must pay the government tax, thus render
