and inside the boom. It was hard, awkward work and duckings were frequent.
 Now, boom jumpers take the hazard at full speed. They are 20-foot motor boats of particular sturdy construction. Bows are cut well under so they will slide up on the log easily In addition to the regular keel there are two others. one on each edge of the hull's bottom Thus they pre- serve equilibrium when sliding over a log.
 They also extend beyond the stern and form we'll which. pro- tects the propeller from hitting the log or smashing its blades against floating pulp wood.
 Sightseers, unaccustomed to the antics of these strange craft, get an unusual thrill when they see the bloom jumper heading for the log at full speed-and then, instead of smashing to pieces, sliding up and over the obstruction.

GREENVILLE. Me. Aug. 1.--A novel fleet of motor craft has been built and is operated here in the wood pulp and paper industry
 These boats are known as boom jumpers" There are 25 of them to be found on such large lakes as Moosehead. Chesuncook. Chamber lain, Churchill and Eagle, where rafts of pulpwood encircled by long log booms, are assembled.
 In building these huge log rafts there is a great deal of what the lumbermen call "pick up" work both inside and outside the booms that bind the logs together. For merly this was done from a bat teau.
 To get over a boom it was nee essary for the crew to place their weight near the stern of the bat teau so that the bow would rise and ride up on the boom log. Then the men in their calked boots scrambled out on the log and pushed or hauled the batteau over
