SOME POINTS ABOUT BUYING A MOTOR BOAT

Coast are said to he many small places o. all-the
year-round residence which are largely dependent
on motor boats for mail and food supplies
The United States government early discovered
the advantages OF the motor boat and it Is
to he found in practically every branch of Uncle
Sans marine service.
In consideration of the amount OF service rem
dered. the cost Of operating motor boat is

consumed and one-haIf gallons OF gasolene an
hour. and tho boat had a tank capacity Of seventy
five gallons enough tor run OF two days with
out reflIinE the tank Il is. however. in the op-
Grafton of the larger craft that the economy OF
the motor boat is most forcibly demonstrated one
yachtsman who has owned several steam yachts
eighty feet in length and over purchased 6e-fOot
motor Yacht and proved to his own satisfaction
the great economy of the motor boat. An S-foot
steam yacht could. he found. develop no greater
speed than the motor boat The former required
for a crew a captain a mate, engineer. a fire
man. a steward, cabin boy, cook and two deck
hands The motor boat required simply a captain.
steward. engineer and two deckhands- The saving
on labor in favor Of the latter craft was declared
to be more than half. and though the crew Of the
motor boat need not be licensed men, the captain
and engineer of the steam Yacht must be licensed
The claim is made by motor boat experts that
though ii costs about $500 a month. including ali
charges to run 60-foot motor yacht, that amount
of money would not buy the coal tof 4 steam
yacht of corresponding size and accommodations
one hundred dollars is said TO be fair estimate
of coal. oil and similar supplies neces-
sary to run the steam yacht ten days, under the
most economical administration. for it is pointed
out that even when the yacht is not under way
and the fires banked, there is stin Cons.d-
era BILE consumption OF coal going on When the
motor boat stops. the consumption OF fuel stops
The claim is also made that the steam yacht
fully one hour is required to make a new fire and
get under way. and another hour is needed in
which to attain full speed. while the motor boat
can be under way, full speed. within ten min
The adaptabIlty of the motor boat for travel in
practically all waters has been repeatedly demon
strated Though it has its restrictions for ocean
travel it possesses the advantage OF being able
to weather rough and to proceed along prac-
ticalIv any inland route. The Dixie few
seasons ago made the trip from New York to Gal
weston passing through the Erie Canal 10 the
Great Lakes through the Illinois and Michigan
Canal to the Mississippi down that river to the
Gulf and to Galveston. Trips even longer than
this are made each summer by even smaller boats.

Each succeeding year serves to add to the popu-
arity of the hunting cabin type of motor boat ana
TO other types ranging anywhere from % to 100 or
100 feet In length over ALL and especially adapted
TO cruises Of shorter longer duration. -Four
persons can five aboard tls average hunting cabin
boat for q considerable time without great dscom-
fort and on the larger cruisers six. eight or
more persons may be accommodated. The owner
of one cabin launch measuring but thirty-thTee
feet over all spent one entire summer aboard tie
boat with his wife, and for part Of the time they
entertained aboard a long trip two friends,
man and MS wife the whole party getting along
without Inconvenience.
In many different lines of usefulness the motor
boat is now to be found where once it vas never
considered and certain industries are being COM
petely revolutionized by IL. This is especially
true Of the fishing lobster and oyster industries
along the entire Atlantic coast. Whale boats used
by fishermen along the New England coast for

variable winds or the muscle Of their crews toll

EXPLORATION OF KAmcHATKA.

There is an awakening interest in the Kamchatka
Peninsula. the mainland Of Asia north OF She
Japanese Islands. Its seventy-five hundred in
habtants live by hunting and fishing, though small
quantities of barley rye raised. The capital
IS Petropavlovslx. the east coast and the eX-
ports comprise sable. fox and other skins, whale
oil. fish and eggs. Tie trade is chiefly vith Ok
hotsk. The following report concerning the ex-
ploration OF Kamchatka has been received from
James W. Ragsdale, consul at st. Petersburg:

fishing grounds and to face any kind of weather
Another saving directly attributable to the advent
OF the motor boat IN this field OF industry is IN the
reduced number OF required TO man a Doal
and tend the travis the lobster pots In Maine
waters. With sails to be looked after, 1t IS pos
sble for do work which formerly
needed crews of four. Then, again, the advent OF
the motor boat In the fishing and lobster grounds
has brought with It attachments through the
medium of which the engine is made TO do the
heavy work of bringing the lobster pots to the
surface and of hauling in the travis.
Motor boat ferries have in some places sup
planted steam ferries and slowly but surely the

The part the motor boat has played in the de-
veopment of the pleasure and health resorts of this
country is probably not realized by even small
percentage of those who annually visit these
places

ST. JOHNS CHAPEL LOSES.

Justice O'Gorman handed down decision in the
Supreme Court denying the application Of members
of St Johns Chapel for permanent injunction re-
straining Trinity corporation from closing the

TO interfere questions OF religious ecclesiastical

were involved. The temporary restraining order
being vacated by the decision, there is legal
obstacle the closing of St. Johns Chapel By Trim

said that the St Johns people undoubtedly would
appeal the decision but that the case would hardly
