OUTBOARD Is AMAZING

Pistons Travel 10000 Feet an Hour
at 1O-Mile Speed.
Some of the amazing facts learned
In a trip through one of the country's
largest outboard plants is that the pis-
tons In an outboard travel 10000 feet
every hour, while the boat, powered by
one Of these models, travelling at 10
miles per hour. would move only $4,000
feet in the same length of time. No
less than 100000 explosions take place
every hour in each of these little power
plants.

terials and as many as 762 parts are

OutbOard Cruise
Down Mississippi
Grand Adventure

TWENTY-FIVE days after leaving
their homes ct Arkmore, Okla,
Claude Ferrier and Charles Ha--
mon, 17-year-old high school youths,
arrived at New Orleans after cuising
down the Mississippi in a 14-foot boat
powered by an outboard motor.
Getting caught in whirlpool, hitting
a ferry boat at midnight, shooting an
alligator and pulling COWS out OF quick
sand were some of the exciting adven-
lures experienced by the boys.
Freshly caught fish and some canned
goods they took along solved the meal
problem for the boys, and at night they
camped on sand bars or river banks.

However, as all bass anglers know. Sep

IN URING her first seven years Of
service the Apache cruised the
Gulf of Mexico from Port EadS
to the Rio Grande, engaging in many
blood-tingling chaSeS with smugglers.
At the outbreak of the war with Spain,
on April Is, 1898, she was transferred
to New Orleans to act with the military
authorities Of the Crescent City, and
she spent the next three months sweep
ing the coast for arms runners and
Spanish naval and commercial craft.
A little more than two years later
the Apache took an active part in
cane that lashed Galveston and the
Texas coast. She put out lifeboats
and cruised about the streets OF the
city, rescuing many who were marooned
in second and third floors.
The Apache was first known as the
Galveston, but when recommiSsioned,
following her overhauling at Phila-
delphia, it was under her present name.
After another brief trip to the Gulf of
Mexico she returned to nearby waters
and has been here ever since.
No time was lost by the Apache in
getting into action In the World War.
The crew had Just heard the mobili-
Zation order read when the command
ing officer sent a detail from the
Apache aboard the Bulgaria, the
Rhein and the Neckar, three German
vessels interned in Baltimore. They
found much of the machinery on these
ships destroyed in order to prevent

WHEAT IS DUMPED
ON EVE Of PARLEY
Observers Fear French and
German Exports to Un-
settle u. S. Price.
BY NEGLEY FARSON.
By Cable to The Star.


LONDON. England. August 10
Severe German and French dumping
into the British market Is the prelude
to the world wheat conference opening
in London on Monday
The Germans and French are offerr
ing wheat at 20 shillings per quarter
plus cost of insurance and freight to
any port in the United Kingdom.
Owing to the bumper crop in England
this year, 1t is expected that 40 shil-
lings per quarter will be the average
price the British farmer will get for
his crop.
The French internal price is around
go shillings per quarter. So sanxious
are the French to uphold internal
prices and protect the great peasant
life, which is the basis Of French ex-
istence. it is stated, that the Paris
government Is now preparing to export
1000 600 quarters of surplus wheat by
paying exporters subsidy.
British Farmer Protected.
In other words, the French wheat
exporter Is getting as a pure subsidy
virtually the same price the British
farmer is getting for his wheat.
But the British farmer is himself
protected by the British wheat quota
Under the act of May. 1882, the gov
ernment assessed the standard price of
As shilings per quarter On a limit of
100000 quarters-price and quota
limit to remain constant until 1885. Up
to 10000 quarters British m1llers
must pay the government a levy of 8
shillings pence on every sack of flour
weighing $50 pounds. The government
uses this fund to reimburse the British
farmers the difference between the aver
age price that year he obtained in the
open British market and the govern
ment standard price.
British farmers, therefore, are vir-
tually unhurt by foreign dumping. This
years bumper crop Is not expected to
yield much more than the quota of g.
600 900 quarters on which rebates are
paid. BY selling prematurely, which
many farmers are forced to do in order
to obtain ready cash for farm purposes,
they might sci below the average years
price. They would thus be losing the
difference up to the average price.
U. s. Injured Most.
The main sufferers from foreign
dumping into the British market will
be the United States and the domin-
ions. The United States already loses
against the dominions by two shillings
per quarter Of the preference Great
Britain gave to the dominions at
Ottawa But this two shillings tariff
is a mere drop in the bucket against
the present German and French dump
ing prices Of 20 shillings per quarter.
The spirit Of the Ottawa agreement
was, IN the first place, for the British,
second for the dominions and third for
foreign producers. However, unless
some further action is taken at Mon
days wheat conference, it looks as If
even the dominion prices must be sacri-
feed to the dumped French and Ger
man wheat.

U. S. Whaling Fleet
Is Likely to Pass
Out of Existence
Only Ia Vessels of 9,367
Gross Tons Are Left
Today.

A once hourishing institution, the
American whaling feet. is now on the
verge Of becoming non-existent. the
Commerce Department said today.
In the heyday of its activity the
fleet comprised some 100000 gross tons,
but has been gradually reduced until
today, according to A. J. Pyrer, as
sistant director of the departments
Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat
Inspection, only IA vessels Of 9.367 gross
tons are left, as compared with a fleet
of 1859 gross tons at the close OF
1858.
The story Of the fleets rise and fall
is recorded in the statistical division Of
the bureau. The latest figures, COM
piled as of June 80, 1888. showed there
existed in the United States 13 steam
vessels of 8,763 tons and one motor
vessel of 604 tons.
Since the time the first American
whalers headed their well provisioned
vessels away from the New England
Coast late in the eighteenth century
in their search for swimming treasure" !"
the bureau pointed out, the headquar-
ters for the feet have moved COM
pletely across the Continent and today
all American whaling vessels, with one
exception, are operated out Of San
Francisco and Seattle. The one vessel
is the only remaining whaler out Of
the port of New York.
