Pleasure Boats for South America.
In Uruguay, Argentine, Chile and
parts of Brazil there are great oppor-
tunities for the sale of small sailing
craft such as catboats OF canoes and
light rowing boats with outriggers.
Many of the larger cities of these
countries, situated near the water,
have boating clubs and hold annual
regattas. These sailing and rowing
contests are international in their
character and attract visitors from
each of the countries sending contest
ing crews. The Tigre river, about ten
miles outside of Buenos Aires, is lined
with boat clubs and is a favorite re-
sort for Argentinians during the sum-
mer months.

WARSHIPS' GOOD WORK
FRENCH VICTORY OVER INVADING
SCHOOL OF PoRPoIsEs.
British Vessel Also Met and Destroyed
Sea Monster That Had Caused
Fear-Norwegian Fleet Found
IT'S Task Too Big.


Not all the tasks warships are called
on to undertake have to do with war
and the destruction of human life and
property.
A couple of French warships were
sent out into the Mediterranean some
years ago to wage war against a
school of PROPOSES which were doing
an immense amount Of damage to the
fishing industry in those waters. After
three days hostilities, during which
quick-fring guns were used with con-
siderable effect, the vessels returned
to Port triumphant, having practically,
anliihilated the enemy.
A year or two ago a warship of
Great Britain's Australian fleet was
given the strange job of capturing or
destroying a mysterious sea monster
which had been reported off the Falk-
land islands.
1t is pretty safe to say that the Off
GERS, If not the crew, entertained
grave doubts of the actual existence
of the frightful creature which had
been described; it was too terrifying,
hideous, gigantic and ferocious.
But shortly after the ship arrived in
the waters where the monster was sup
posed to lie in wait for vessels, the
officer of the watch deserted a
Strengthening beast making toward
his ship, and it was Immediately
guessed that this must be the sub
stance of all the alarming tales. And
a pretty good substance it proved. too.
An attack was made upon it, and
after some hours fighting with har-
poems and quick-firers, the mysterious
monster, which proved to be a sea-ele-
plant between 10 and IA yards long,
was slaughtered and taken aboard.
Some years ago the Norwegian gov
eminent sent out powerful little feet
of warships, armed with mines, tor
pedoes and quick-firing guns, to ex
terminate vast horde of seals which
was denudingN the sea on the north
west coast of all fish life.
But the government had reckoned
upon tens of thousands of seals, where
as there were millions. So unending
was their number that the feet had
