wAlTTLEs BOAT WITH KNIFE.
Ohio Man Makes Miniature Of Side
wheel Packet During Leisure
Moments.

Gallipolis, O.-Andrew Wode, Of
Pomeroy. has made . miniature steam
boat which il patterned after an Ohia
river siiewheel packet. An ordinary
two-bladed penknife was used In iti
the blades being nearly
,sorn out before 1t was completed. Mr.,
Wode did the work during odd hours
and completed 1t in less than three
months.
The hull Of the boat is four feet
and two inches long and IA inches
wide. From the bottom of the hull to
the top is 80 inches. The swing stage
Is 26 inches long. On the lower deck
are the boilers and engines. All the
figures and the yawls on the davita
were whitfield from solid blocks Of
wood. In the rear is well-appotnted
bar room, with bartender and custom
ers. A faucet in beer key looks like
the real thing. One passenger is in
the act of turning down glass oil
beer and the nickel is on the counter
to pay for 1t.
A figure on the forecastle. wearing a
tile hat, is credited with being the
captain Nothing is missing from the
outfit of the boat-bell, whistle, stove
in the pilothouse, spars, etc.. are all
there.
1t is made entirely Of pine and pop

and the small nails used in fastening
the various parts together. A man
can carry 1t under his arm. 1t is paint
