NEW STYLE OF BOAT

Boats with glass bottoms are nd novelty, but Frank Stiles of Cocoa = nut Grove, Fla, has invented a craft of this sort which is different.
 Upon its deck is built a cabin which is dark room. not designed for pho- tegraphy purposes. but for observa- tion. The Deck is placed across two boats arranged catamount fashion, and in the floor of the cabin is set a large sheet of clear glass.
 Ventilation is provided by grifls 90 constructed as to permit the passage of air while excluding light. The oc- cupant of the cabin, on closing the door thereof, finds himself in darkness. and so can look down through the sheet of glass into the depths of the water below-the catamaran arrangement of the supporting boats leaving between the latter wide open space, so that there IS nothing to interfere with the view.
 In the warm seas of tropical and subtropical attitudes, as, for instance. among the West Indies and in Florida waters one may in sheltered places. see the bottom clearly at a depth of many fathoms, and thus inspect at leisure, if only by the help of a giass bottomed bucket, the wonderful ma rine gardens, with parrot fishes and other flnny species of brilliant and gau4y hues moving about amid a wilderness of corals and strange and interesting plants
 Study of this kind can be conducted to much more advantage with a. glass bottomed boat of the kind described which is built with stern wheel drive by combustion engine. In the floor of the cabin is an opening through which the occupant may fish when by ob- servation through the glass, he as To- cated a school. a

LINcoLN,s LIBRARY

Lincoln's own personal decision a< ga1nst slavery came partly from per- sonal experience and partly because he learned his American history in tha best of all ways. from the original doc uments. English history Lincoln learn- de from Blackstone, which he found ir the bottom of a barrel of truck of va rious sorts bought by the grocery of which he was partner. The business was not successful It left Lincoln in debt of s1loo which took him fifteen years to pay. He read Blackstone'a Four Books with only webster's Prim- ary dictionary bought when he was twenty-four years old He rightly deem ed Blackstone an epoch in his life American history was supplied by Eranklin's Autobiography, weens Washington" and Rafnsay'a, and a campaign life of Henry Clay.
 Shakespeare came early. It succeed = | ed the Bible. Lincoln is our only pres- ident who read Shakespeare constanf- iy and read it out loud in conferences and contact with men, so that he bor- Cd lesses minds Burns. Lincoln knew by heart and lectured on him.
 The humor of his own day he read avidly. Petroleum V. Nasby and Arte- mus Ward be read to his cabinet to his delight and Seward Welies and Stanton's disgust.

cHlNA,s NoAH HAp No ARK


 China had it's Noah. no less renow- ned than the Biblical character hon. ored by western countries. He was practically contemporaneous with the man who built the ark, too, since 220O B. c. was his period. But when the food waters came in China Ta-Yux didn't build an ark to save few. He built revetments that controlled the rushing waters of the Hoang. the larg- est river of China and saved his na- tive land and people.
 The Story is told in the king the books of history edited by Con fusious. The ability shown by -Yu1 in building the Hoang revetments and adjusting hte channels 10 the volumn of water made his name famous for an time even fl the Occidental man in Inc street hasn't happened to have heard it before and knows only the story of Noah. His engineering skill has not been surpassed. or even equal cd by his successors. and his method of river control may be needed by en Einesrs today.
 lt is practically the method adopted by the engineers of the Mississippi riv- CT commission. namely, the adjustment or Inc velocity of the current to the ma Nimum load Of silt which the water carries. The hydaulic engineer of to- day accomplishes this by impoundinr the excess of water during flood sea sons and releasing it during seasons Of drought; Ta-Yux accomplished the same result by the construction of ad 9itional channels. Tn the lower part of the plain nine additional channels were constructed. Any number or all 7t them could he thrown open 10 flood as necessity demands. Thereby a un form volumn of water and a constant velocity of the current was insured.
 lt was a. task of thirteen years thrice according to the Sbu-king. Ia UT passed his own door without ev- en staying to caress his child. Detroit News.
