WEDNESDAY 14. 1898
POOR PEAR HAROLD.
He Was Overcome by an Aged Wo-
man's Attentions.
A look of pain and utter weariness
rested upon Harold Harcourt s pret-
ty well-bred face as he sat there on
the veranda idly rocking to and fro In
theshade of the wisteria vines.
“I used to think that woman hon-
ored and respected a young man for
trying to earn his own living he
wa« saying in a hopeless dreary mono-
tone: “but since mother's death threw
Bhat they don’t. A working young
man seems to be regarded ns legiti-
mate prey by everybody. You are
insulted whichever way you turn

community land arc. in many instan-
ces mothers of families. .
“Your helpless position —for depen-
dence upon a salary is helplessness-
es constantly taken advantage of. and
vou are perfectly powerless to resent
familiarities in speech that make your

ders of his own sex. for men you
know are always the hardest on m n
And. too it is tihose men who lead sllK
and satin existences and know noth-
ing of the exigencies of life that are
harshest in their judgments.
“O. how sick I get of the whole
thing! Some days I wonder if life is.

yesterday a bank stoop-
ing gray-halred old creature with one
limb in the grave—came into the
office and after ogling me for some
time remarked tlbat I was too P
to work.’ and tried to put her arm
around me." . -
Young Harriet Horsey who had
been listening with pained sympathy
now leaped madly to her feet.
“Her name!" she cried her hand-
some womanly face with wrathi and
indignation. “By heavens I demand
is the use?” cynically and de-
spalringly replied Harold. “She is
no worse than hundreds of others and
besides to whip her would only cause

sition. No no my dear Hariet. It

But the bitter laugh with which he
ended the speech turned into a sob
and soon the fair head was bowed in
a perfect abandonment of gnet.
Leaning over her
witth love and determination Harriet
Horsev took in her strong arms the
frail fair form so illy equpped to
fight the battle of life and strained the
weeping youth to her breast.
“Mary me and end it all. 810
passionately murmured. 8®? you
will dear heart! 0. say you will.
As Harold raised his face blushes
dried the tear-wet cheeks and happy
love light shone in 'his eyes.
“I love you!” he simply said and
kissed His noble lover.—G. E. Creel in

WAVES MOVE A BOAT.
INVENTOR INTRODUCES A NOV-
EL FEATURE.
Uses Resilient Florets—Latter Respond
to the Force of the Billows—Fair
Sjieed is Atta'ined.
What aerial navigation is to the In-
land aspirant for inventive honors
the problem of contriving a boat
which shall go against wind and wave
propelltxl by the power of the waves
which oppose It Is to the seafaring
inventor. In every seaport town one
can find ancient mariners who have
bee® working for years along all
sorts of lines to this end and are
convinced thoroughly of the ultimate
practicability of their plans. The
fact that several of their predecessors
occupy 'pflaces in the local cemeteries
as a result of too great zeal in experi-
mentation wiDh boats of this type
doesn’t seem to have a deterrent ef-
fect upon the rest who go on from
failure to failure with undiminshed
courage.
And now comes the news from Italy
that their project is not visfionary;
that a boat has actually been built and
operated which navigates against the
waves or in any direction counter to
them or equally well wftlh them by no
other force tlian that derived from the
waves themselves. In 'tbe last Issue
of the Scientific American this craft
is described in detail.
The wave-propelled boat is 13.13 feet
long 3.12 feet beam l.b. fee in depth
and has a displacement of about 440
pounds. It is decked over except for
a small cockpit in the middle for the
steersman and Ilias water-tight com-
partments at both ends. The little
craft is staunchly enough made to
stand heavy weather at sea. It is
the invention of H. F. L. Linden sec-
retary of the zoological station at
Naples Italy where the experiments
have been made.
MOTIVE POWER FROM FLOATS.
The motor contrivance consists in a
serie* of powerful resilient float* with
free ends attached to the boat at bow
and stern. Each float Is of four
hardened steel plates 19.50 inches in
.068 inch in thickness at the attached
ends thinning out to .0098 inch at the
free ends. Canvas is spread between
t.lie plates giving an area on the upper
surface of each float of aibout
square feet. In some cases tbe in-
ventor has increased the resiliency of
the floats by means of steel tongues.
The floats are placed at such a depth
that they shall at all times be under
water.
The plnciple upon which the boat'
proceeds is that of the swimming mo-
tion of fishes which the inventor has
had plenty of opportunity of observ-
ing in his duties at the Zoological
gardens. He made up his mind that
the swimming motion of the fishes
which he studied might be imitated
inedbanically with good results and
his experiments finally crystallized in
the discovery of the following facts
given in his own words:
“If powerful resilient floats be at-
tached horizontally obliquely or ver-
tically under the water line of a
ing body for example a boat in such
a manner 'that the free ends of the
floats(made of sheet steel or of other
elastic material or of some skeleton
covered by a membrane like the
webbed feet of acquatic birds) are
directed rearwnrdly then the boat
will move constantly ana spontaneous-
ly opward through the waves by rea-
son of the impact of the water on the
elastic float* the operation of the
latter corresponding essentially to the
action of a fish’s tail.
ETFEOT OF THE WAVES.
• The resistance encountered in the
water by the floats due either to the
motion produced by the piidhing and
roiling of the boat or to the direct
pressure produced by the impact of
masses of water falling on the upper
surface of the floats causes these elas-
tic floaits to bend outwardly to a cor-
responding degree; but as *oon as ths
waves have momentarily' subsided
the floats spring back to their initial
position. It is evident that the strik-
ing of the masses of water against
the arched surface of the floats as
well as the exertion of force du 'ing
the backward springing gives rise to
a force which is directed toward the
fast ends of the floats and which
drives the lioat in the direction of
this impulse. Thus by means of a
continuous motion of alternate arching
and backward springing the boat is
put in motion and as already remark-
ed in a direction from the free to the
fast end of the floats.
‘The effect of the floats is the more
pronounced as the motion of the
wave* is stronger and more frequent.
Owing to the resistance enocuntered
by the floats hi the water tbe pitch-
ing and rolling of the boat are mate-
rially reduced.”
After experimenting with the floars
in various positions and on various
parts of the boat the inventor found
that horizontal floats attached to the
ends of the boat where the pitching Is
greatest gave the bast results and
were simplest to handle. By this
means lie succeeded in achieving a
speed of two and one-half miles an
hour with the boat whose dimensions
are given above against a brisk
southerly wind in the Bay of Naples
the boat towing a one and one-half
inch plank five fleet long. The motion
of the boat is entirely independent of
tihe direction of ithe wind being gov-
erened totally by the direction given
to the free ends of the floats. When
the free ends of the floats are pointed
forward the boat is driven to the
rear and vice versa. To get the great-
est measure of success the floats must
arch themselves in approximately the
same curves as the caudal tins of dol-
phins and other flslies. Mr. Linden
says that his exjieriments have shown
the speed and effectiveness to be in-
creased with the length of the boat
without increase of the area of the
propelling floats. He hopes to experi-
ment witfh large vessels under vari-
ous conditions of wave activity.
There is no medicine in the world
equal to Chamberlain’s Cough Reme-
dy for tihe cure of throat and lung dis-
eases. This I* a fact that ba* been
proven in numberless case*. Here is
a sample of thousand* of letters re-
ceived: “‘I have tried Chamberlain’s
Gough Remedy while suffering from s
severe throat trouble and found im-
mediate and effective relief. I can

considered which demands even for
the work of the farmer the uncouth
ugly clothes which are worn in toe

not the farmer feel that life was more

the heavy russet walking shoes of
fashion with flat heels and wide toes
and a suit of serviceable but becoming
corduroys with the soft and conven-
ient but nevertheless picturesque blue
flannel shirt which the late war made
famous and characteristic? It would
cost little and look well.—Kansas City

ALL THAT’S LEFT OF HIM.
How’ the Bride Explained the Ab-
sence of the Bridegroom.
They had “done” the east in tlie
rosy light of the honeymoon and were
on their way home to settle down on
the cozy little nest already prepared
for them. Marriage did not induce
him to stop the smoking habit and
when he left her in the parlor car
while Hie went to the smoker to enjoy
an hour with some pleasant 'acquain-
tame made on the trip he only did
something to which the pretty bride
had already become accustomed. But
in this instance he varied the usual
program by going with his friends to
another partor car to meet their folks
and have a little chat.
When the bridgegroom hod been
gone away for a certain length
of time the wife forced a smile to
her lips while she went in search of
him. She learned in the smoker
where he had gone and then let out
a little scream when she saw that
there was no other parlor car on the
train. Filled with adire dread lest
“hubby” might have been lost to her
forever she nervously explained to
the conductor.
“Don’t worry” he laughinly ad-
monished her “your husband’s all
right. We cut that car out at the
last station. If he noticed tihe change
and did not go to Pittsburg with the
car he will get into Detroit tomorrow
morning.”
“Not tin tomorrow morning?” she
moaned “and there will be a hundred
people at the depot to meet us. You
just must get him there tonight.”
“Impossible madam. There is no
way of getting him there.”
After the little woman bad ex-
pressed her opinions of railroads she
became a true philosopher and ac-
cepted the inevitable. At the Mich-
igan Central depot she steped jaunt-
ily from the car her left arm em-
bracing an overcoat and a cane.
"There’s all that’s left of him.” she
ffliouted and then they had a good
deal more hiMrou* fun than they
would have had had he bw>n there to
partieiiMite.—Detroit Free Press.

HAW ON A WATCH.
“It i« bad practice to be continually
setting a watch by the stem-setter ’
observed a watch repairer to a rv[x»r-
ter “for it has a tendency to wear out
ttie band that attache* the hands to
the pinion. The hands are tightened
to the pinion as firmly as they can be.
and every setting looeens them some-
what. There is a class of persons
who set their watches every day rath-
er than give a little attention to the
matter of regulating them. They find
than the watch gains or loses a minute
or a few minute* in each twenty-four
hours and instead of curing this by
the regulator which is put in the
watch for that express purpose and no
other they force back or forward the
bands by the stem-setter or by a key.
If the hand pinion wears out. which
It frequently does it Is considerable of
a job to put in a new one or place new
hands on it anti the work necessarily
cost* something for watch repairers
hare to charge for their work. If a
person knows that a wMeh gains or
loses a certain amount in each day it
is better to calculate back or forward
than to be continually setting it. A
little study of the regulator will do tbe
work much better without the risk of
wearing out anything.”—Washington.
