FITTED FOR FISHING WORK.
Power Launch Club Remodeled and
Rechristeued.

The old power launch Club, which was
formerly used to carry those who wished
to try their luck at the games aboard the
ark anchored in the mouth Of Hunting
creek. Virginia, from the landing at New
Alexandria to the ark, has been rebuilt
and made a handsome fishing craft, and
has been given a new name. Annie q.
About a year ago the Club was pur-
chased by Capt. Aleck Watson of this
city. who used her in fishing work on the
river last summer and this spring. After
the spring fishing season closed she was
laid up at the 18th street wharf, where
the high cabin that extended almost the
entire length Of the boat was removed
and her hull cleaned out More freeooard
was then given 1t and 1t was decked over.
The engine was set well aft, with living
quarters for her crew forward and cargo
room amidships and movable awning
arranged to shelter the deck. The changes
have made the boat a handsome little
craft and more available for the fishing
work in which she will be employed.

The most recent and the most significant

Toronto, who came TO the United States
from Oxford University at the invitation
Of Dr. White to accept the chair Of
English history at Cornell. and was the
most illustrious scholar ever connected
with the Institution. Through forty years
his loyalty and devotion never faltered,
and they were expressed in his last will

university his residuary legatee to the
amount Of about three-quarters of a mill

Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald
ITHACA. n. Y, June 25. 1911.
Ezra Cornell, the founder of Cornell
University, was a Quaker who was ex-
communicated, when he was young
man. for marrying outside of the faith.
When he became rich and influential he
declined invitation to be reinstated, and,
although he had a reverence for every
thing religious. he never attached him
self to any other denomination. His
father was a farmer near the village of
De Ruyter. in the western part Of New
York state; his wife was a favorite pupil
OF his father, who taught school winters.
Ezra Cornell was a carpenter and showed
genius In mechanics from his childhood.
When he was only seventeen years old
he planned and built a two-story house
with only the assistance of his brother
and the neighbors who came to help him
raise 1t, as was the custom in those
times. When he was eighteen years old
he came to Ithaca looking for work. He
walked the entire distance. and arrived
upon the scene of his career with only
a few dollars and his Sunday suit OF
clothes. This was in April, 1923. In
short time he became superintendent of
years, and found an opportunity to en-
ploy his mechanical genius in inventions
to promote economy of time and labor.
He carved an imperishable memorial of
himself in the rocks by excavating
tunnel from the gorge through hill to
convey water to his employers mill 1t
was his own idea, and he superintended
the job, which was finished in 1881. The
tunnel is still in use today
In 1881 his employer retired from bust
ness. and MIR. Cornell being thrown out
of employment, purchased the patent
rights for q new pillow. While peddling
it he made the acquaintance of the man
who had taken the contract for laying
conduit for the wires of Prof. Morse's
new invention-the electric telegraph
between Baltimore and Washington, at
the rate of 500 mile. The conduit was
a failure because of defective insulation.
and ii soon became apparent that the
wires must be placed on poles. Mr.. Cor
nell was given the contract for erecting
the poles, and invented the insulator to
which the wires were fastened, the same
that is used today. He was present at
Baltimore when the first test of the cleo
trio telegraph was made. and in the place
of honor, under the dome of Sibley Col
Iege of this university. erected by Hiram
Sibley, Mr.. Cornells associate in the tele-
graph enterprise, is the instrument used
by Prof Morse to send the first message
transmitted over the wire, which COM
prised these words:

BOY SCOUTS IN ENGLAND
GET THOROUGH TRAINING
Movement Is Encouraged by
Moral and Financial Sup
port of Every One.

Friends of the Boy Scouts movement,
who believe that by training the youth
Of the country in the rudiments OF cam
paigning and preparing them to become
capable soldiers in case Of their coun-
try's need, declare that America can
well take q leaf from England's book in
this regard. They point out that in Eng
land. situated like America to a certain
extent in the matter of securing recruits
for her army. this movement Is encour-
aged not by words alone. but by moral
and financial support in every degree OF
society, with the result that there are
many tens Of thousands Of boys now re-
ceiving training in matters of the utmost
importance to troops in the field.
The training OF an army recruited from
men, who as boys have had the advan-
tage Of this training. would require less
time and effort than one made up OF
the average man. Besides, the knowi-
edge SO acquired is useful in many ways
In civil pursuits. IT Is argued.
In Shanghai, China, the English boys
and English subjects arc entering the
Boy Scouts movement with vim. as they
are in other places where British sub
jects are located and British youth being
trained to manhood. The North China
Herald published in Shanghai. gives con-
siderable space to the activities Of the
local "Baden-Powell Boy Scouts" The

Progress in Shanghai.
L. NJ. Beytash, in charge of the Shang-
hal Boy Scouts. has this to say about
the progress Of the boys:
''The six months training has resulted
in the following number OF boys passing

animation by the local doctors.
I'm addition to the above, practically
all the boys have become efficient in
jiu-jitsu. have become well acquainted
with local topography and their physical
ment during the time they have been en-
bodied.
II venture TO think that. in view of the
above, the boys are gradually becoming
an asset to the community. and would
Of the volunteers. should they be re-
CURED at any time. I would. in fact, like
to suggest that this Onicer might be
approached with a view to testing the
practical use Of the scouts from time to
time in actual work. It would, in addi-
ton. give much satisfaction to the corps
IL the council would entertain proposal
to nominate an inspecting of1cer. who
could report on its efficiency by inspec-
tions made at any time at his discretion.
I might add that the corps is now fully
equipped with serviceable khaki uniform
and complete accoutrements.
