Boat Driven by Waves.

There is n boat. OF Italian invention.
whose motive power is supplied solely
by the action OF waves. Elastic floats.
submerged a short distance. are Mt.
tached to the stern or bow OF the boat.
One end OF the float is left FREQ TO
bend up and down with the impulse Of
the water. The result OF the action Of
the waves is to drive the boat in n d..
rcction away from the free end of the
floats. The speed is two or three miles
an hour. The motion of the boat Is In.
dependent OF the direction OF the
waves. and can be across or against
MS well as with the wind. The In.
ventor received his inspiration from
his study OF the motions OF fishes. and
he regards the action of the elastic
floats us resembling that OF n iish's

Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. October ). - The
Phillies will be managed by Charley
Doom again next year, Doom having
signed contract with the club yesterday
afternoon. According to President Fogel
the new contract contains no other con-
ditions than were named this season.
President Fogel declared that Manager
DOOM had full charge of the team this
season, and would have full control next
year.
Manager Doom witnessed the Athletics
game yesterday at Shibe Park. He said
he was glad the matter had been fixed up
and that he intended to plan during the
winter to strengthen the Phillies for next
year. President Fogel and Manager
Doom both declared they were satisfied
with the showing made this year under
the heavy handicaps which followed the
team all season.
The pitching staff will be given special
attention for next season, as Manager
Doom feels satisfied that If the pitchers
had done their SHARE the Phillies would
have been right up with the leaders. To
finish in the first division is about all
that could be expected under the condi-
tons, but Manager DOOM is satisfied that
If some of the new men who have been
signed come up to expectations the
Phillies will make one or two steps for
ward next season.
