twentieth century cuoo,,ts,

Dugouts are usually associated with
bygone days, but they still figure in
Maryland navigation. A few are even
being made today. The dugout is the
Chesapeake canoe of the Eastern
Shore oystermen.
1t is made by placing three pine
logs side by side and fastening them
together with wooden pins. Then the
inside is dug out with an adze and the
outside similarly shaped.
The result is non-sinkable craft
with bow and stern alike that is
rugged with two sails and sometimes
a digger" as well. From these boats
the oysters are taken up with tongs
When the oyster season is over these
canoes are painted and aquatic races
are INDUCED in by the oystermen.-

ADVANTAGE OF LIQUID FUEL
Use of Gas Engines Aids in Minimiz-
ing of Space and Reduces
Expense.

The weight of and the space occu-
pied by propelling machinery being
less for gas or oil motors than for
steam engines, it follows that a yes
sci of less displacement will suffice
to carry the same cargo, says a re-
cent article in Casters Magazine.
Moreover, owing to the greater eff
cheney obtained by adopting the in
ternal combustion principle, a less
weight of fuel will suffice for a voy-
age of given duration. Both these
statements apply in all cases, but in
vessels making short voyages, and in
which the weight of fuel carried il
small, the second consideration is of
little moment. For long voyages,
however, without refueling the bunker
or tank capacity can be very much
reduced for gas or oil motors, and
greater economy in displacement can
therefore be effected in long voyage
than in short voyage vessels. Short
voyages will be more usual for the
size of cargo boats considered. I'll
for vessel of, say, 1000 tons dis
placement and 1000 indicated horse
power, 100 tons weight could be saved
in machinery and fuel by adopting
gas engines and producers with coal
fuel, or oil engines using heavy oil
fuel in place of reciprocating steam
engines with boilers burning coal or
oil, the displacement of the vessel
could be reduced probably by little
more than 100 tons.

CALIFORNIA; WINE CISTERN
This Huge Tank Is the Largest in the
World, Carved From Solid
Rock.

One of the show places Of northern
California is the Italian-Swiss colonys
immense dry wine vineyard and win
cry at Asti in Sonoma county, which
is also famous as being the section
where Luther Burbank, the plant viz
ard, has conducted most of his won
derful experiments with flowers and
fruits.
At Asst is the largest wine tank IN
the world. This great cistern is vir-
tually a huge subterranean lake of
wine, carved from the solid rock and
lined with a two foot thickness of
Portland cement, with a glazed sur
face. The upper sides and roof are of
reinforced concrete topped by unique
center dome built of rough rocks This
mighty tank contains enough ruby
vintage for whole nation to toast its
heroes with and is just 10 times as
large as the great tun at Heidelberg.
To be precise, the Asst cistern is "a
feet long, "a feet wide and 20 feet
high, and its contents would provide
glass each to 100000 people. An
idea OF its great size may be gained
from the fact that when it was first
emptied a hundred couples Joined in
gay ball within it, to the music of
a large military band.
The cistern was built to conserve
the wine until an opportune time ar
rived for selling it, and to make large
blends and maintain from year to year
the same type and character. In this
tremendous underground concrete re-
ceptacle the ruddy vintage, hermetic-
ally enclosed and safe from outside in
fluences, mellows and ripens.

Pronunciation of Gully.

The Spenserian pronunciation of
the word July is not by any means
dead yet. In English country dis
tricts the accent is still commonly
put on the first syllable, while in
Scotland that pronunciation is the
general one. But the word does not
then rhyme with duly" for the sec
ond syllable is as clearly pronounced
as if it were accented. Indeed, July"
might almost be included in the small
list of English spondees, which is
generally held to consist solely Of
amen" and "Goodby." "Goodby" has
always seemed to the writer a very
doubtful specimen. for it is seldom
nat one hears its two syllables equal
ly accented Another unrecognized
spondee is, If one accepts the rural
pronunciation, the name of the month
April. Millions of Englishmen pro-
nounce 1t slowly and deliberately

The little Man Smoke LIN

A cold shudder crept around a big
table in one of the Atlantic City cafes
the other night when clubman, who
has recently returned from London,
announced to the guests at dinner
party that he had happened to be
driving past the Crippen house at
Hilldrop Crescent, one dark, gloomy
night, and had seen the mysterious
shadow of clammy hand at the win
dow. The story so affected another
guest at the table that he Immediately
summoned an innocent bellboy and
sent him off through the place calling
Doctor Crippen" The effect on the
many patrons of the cafe was cleo
trical, and the unsuspicious bellboy
crying the terrible name in automa-
ton fashion as he passed from table to
table, left a wake of amusement and
laughter which ended in roar when
little man stood up and with mock
solemnity yelled Here l am"

BUILD FRESH AIR SCHOOLS
Board of Education of PaWtucket, r.
l., Have Adopted Plans for Open
Rooms.

"One open-air room in every new
school building" is the policy which
the board of education of Pawtucket,
R. l., officially adopted at its meet
ing on July IL, says the Survey Maya
zine. This slogan was framed by
Frank o. Draper, the superintendent
of schools. The committee on school
property approved of the recommended
ton and the architect who is prepar-
ing plans for a new school building
was instructed to incorporate in his
drawings an open-air room even be-
fore the whole board had taken final
action on the proposal. Pawtucket
opened its first fresh-air school in
May, and is therefore quite recent
addition to the ranks Of the cities
an up-to-date school system. But this
busting city in northern Rhode Island
has taken a most advanced If not as
yet unique position in deciding to
make special provision in every school
for children with predisposition to
tuberculosis.
Pawtucket also illustrates how
quickly public sentiment can be Gre
ated in favor of providing fresh air
for children in the schools. Two years
ago an effort was made to convert a
small schoolhouse into an open-air
school. Surrounding property owners
who didn't care to have lot of sick
children in their backyards," killed
the plan temporarily. A year ago a
tuberculosis exhibit was held in the
city, and as an indirect result Paw
tucket now has one of the best open.

Dickens Nearly Popular as Bible.


Dickens public passes beyond the
bounds of the British Empire. There
is America-with its eighty-five mil
lions of people and its widespread, it's
fervent regard for Dickens. There is
France, where Daudet could write:
Little Nell and Paul Dombey came to
me as a revelation of purity and in
nocence.' There is Germany, where,
as Bunsen said, Dickens compels
tears and laughter amongst Germans
as amongst his own people" There
is Russia where Tolstoi relates that
he found the christmas Carol in
the cabins of the humblest serfs, and
where "Oliver Twist" and Nicholas
Nickleby" are read in seven different
translations in the realms of the czar
1t is futile to multiply evidences of
the universally of the genius of Dick
ems. Next to the Bible and Shakes
peare, his books enjoy the widest
popularity.-Strand.

The Soldiers Pie Eating Contests.

The Soldiers Pie Eating Contests.
In order to train plebes in the en-
durance, mentality and valor requisite
for a soldier in the United States
army, pie eating contests have been
introduced at some of the military
schools. Nothing could have been
chosen which would be more likely
to arouse patriotic sentiments and in
difference to danger. Pie is essen
TALLY an American institution, and
even the average citizen has shown
a fine contempt for peril whenever a
slab of blueberry or apple has been
Haunted before his eyes. How much
more, then, will the embryo soldier
be careless of death, nay, even eager
for a tempting of it, If his Unborn
American pie-nourished fortitude is
pie-implanted and pie-perpetuated.

Complaint Was mncurabIe."

A remarkable fraud has just been
worked on the Institut Pasteur in
Paris by negro hailing from eastern
Africa. Alleging that he was suffer
ing from the terrible malady Of sleep
ing sickness, the negro was admitted
to the hospital to undergo treatment.
His symptoms were diagnosed as per-
petual hunger, coupled with profound
drowsiness. The doctors at the hos
pital, believing the mans case to be a
genuine one, took him in hand and
lavished every conceivable attention
on him. A fortnight was spent by the
self-styled victim of sleeping sickness
in alternate sleeping and eating.
Eventually the negroes utter incapable
ity to make any kind of physical effort
aroused their suspicious, and without
more ado he was discharged. Some
days afterward the negro returned to
the Institut Pasteur to thank the
principal for the latter's kindness to
him. 1t was then that the doctors
realized that the negro's complaint
was "incurable."

man named Hans Jorgenson and
Henry Wollhein, while driving along
the St. Peter bluff road, near the

one man was under it, The Stein

meath and SHE'D out over the steep
bank, and the buggy was tipped over
upon a barbed wire fence. The horse
broke loose from the buggy and ran
