MOTOR BOATS FOR FISHING.
Iceland Fishermen Are Descending
Altogether Their Old Craft.

"The world do move" For many years,
ever since. perhaps. the old Norsemen
used To go fishing in their gaIleys the
Iceland fishing boats have won rich
living from the sea. Hardy sailors they
were, and picturesque. and the boats.
though not built for beauty. were vet
able with born sailors at the helm. TO
withstand any northern gale. But d com
nlete revolution of the fisheries in Ice
land Is near at hand Both the open
boats and the sailing cutters disappear
rs fast as they are worn out. No new
purchases of these are now being made.
In the future. fishing will be done almost
exclusively with motor boats and steam
traWleTS which give many times better
results, and do not require SO large a
crew. During the last two or three sea
sons there has been expended nearly
S250.0e0 for motor boats, and they have
given such good results that there are
instances where Il boat in the course %
five months earned double its value, be-
sides giving its master and crew an in
come equal to n well-Daid officials salary
for the whole year.
At Westmanna Islands there were only
two motor boats In 1905. and they gave
so much better results than other boats
new ones for about $4,000
But the trawlers have given still bet
ter results A small trawler. owned by
company In Haynefjord. during 1896,
earned enormous profits, which has led
to the organization of two new tTawi-
ing companies in Reykjavik, one Of which
is having a trawler built in England.
while the other. with a capital OF 100000
kroners $500, is buying one all com
plete at the same place.
This is only a small beginning. Pur-
chases of new trawleTs Will in the near
future increase SO rapidly that in the
course of five or ten years It will be
possible to create a good-sized Icelandic
TRAVELLING fleet. The main hindrance, of
course. is the lack of home capital but
this is not insurmountable when the peo-
pie learn to unite.

CRAPSEY IN DEFENSE
Former Rector Addresses a
Crowd in Carnegie Hall.
URGES FREEDOM OF THOUGHT
Declares that Intellectual vision of
Some Men Penetrates Farther
Than That of the AIuItitude-AnaI-
ogy Between Astronomy and The
oIOEy Pointed Out by the Speaker.

New York, March 10.-Mr Algernon
Crapsey. Of Rochester, addressed a con-
gregation Of the Ethical Society on The
Increasing Light" at Carnegie Hall this
morning. Every seat in the main audi
forum was filled before DR.. Crapsey be
gan to speak. and during the first fifteen
minutes of his address the double rows
of boxes above were filled to the last
chair.
Although Dr.. Crapsey did not refer
specifically to his troubles with the
Episcopal Church, the tenor of his ad-
dress was an exposition Of his faith in a
broader religious freedom of thought and
an intelligent Interpretation Of the sym
bolism of religion. He began by drawing
an anology between the physical failures
of a material world and the spiritual en-
dowments given man in the world Of
thought
Have Power or Perception.
..One of the conditions Of life in this, our
world, is light" said DR.. Crapsey; 1T is
here. a manifest fact All created things
stand revealed in the light. There is in
ourselves a power 10 perceive the light.
It is the relation of the human eye to
the fact Of light that constitutes the
marvel of vision.
THAT wonderful organ that has been
given us with which to see was not
always perfect. But the perception of
light has been increasing through the
ages according to individual powers Of
perception. Even to-day some men can
see more than others.
MANS faculty OF perceiving the truth
IS called reason. The reason of man is q
divine gift, but it has been perfected by
a long course of training.
The speaker went on 10 say that there
were. some men whose powers or reason
ing Cutstrip the common faculty They
leap ahead and by their daring establish
truths which the slower masses or IN
telligence come to grasp and understand
after the passage of years lie clteu
GaIIileo and Copernicus, whose intellect
ual vision could penetrate farther Than
that Of the men of their times. At first
these men We're damned and then they
were believed. said DR., Crapsey-
Attempt to Interpret Truth.
Like astronomy. theology IS an at
tempt TO interpret the truth, continued
the speaker. THE history of theological
development is no different from that OF
astronomical investigation. Some men
leap ahead of the accepted truths Of their
times because they have clearer vision
but those who cannot see damn them for
so doing.
.oTbe greatest sin a man can commit,
continued Dr. Crapsey- is 10 sin against
his organ Of appreciation. Sin against
vour eve. and YOU are thrown into total
darkness. YOU lose the perception OF
light The mortal sin against your in
telligence is to refuse to use j. To say
that YOU believe thing simply because
YOU wish TO believe il is crime that
leads TO the madhoUse.
THAT man who limits the intelligence
and who thwarts the confidence OF ms
feIIoU-man is the greatest foe 70 the
human race"
