The spice OF exploring romance In boat
building was thus constantly at hand
during the construction period, reliev-

One disadvantage OF the majority OF
speed boat models Ia that they are not
reinforced and protected adequately
against possible damage from humping
into various obstacles. Every once in
so often power boat OF this descrip-
ton. equipped with q steam or gasoline
engine, will run amuck along the Dor
ders OF the pool or basin where 1t Is
raced. Such excursions usually result
diaastrously, not only to the model in
volved but also to others which may
run abaft its wild course Mr.. Luke
has insured his model, built so care
fully against any such damage.

Previous 10 building his famous speed

model craft for his young son. This
boat. called the Dart. Is - inches In
length and STA inches In beam, with q
mahogany hun and deck. Originally
Mr.. Luke purchased q coiled-spring en-
CINE, which Is operated by means OF a
battery Of five strong springs. and m
stalled 1t IN the Dart. This power plant
operated the boat at a speed OF miles
an hour. but did not stand the test of
time and hard service satisfactorily.
Hence MIR, Luke built an oscillating en-
CINE and a small water-tuhc boiler, lu-
brteated by displacement hhricatpr,
which he has now nlaced IN the Dart.
This new power plant viii run the boat
