aHC ON A TORPEDO BOW
Che Ken Have to Take Their Sk
nnd Food in “Catch as Catch
Gan” Fashion. »
| A man on a torpedo boat has to cat*
i his sleep “on the fly,” and he become
I exceedingly expert, being young ant
j adaptable, at making up the require!
I amount of alumber in little mosaics ot
1 an hour now, halt an hour then and tea
I minutes later on. He becomes accus
1 tomed to drop into a doze whenever i
favorable minute arrives and he is not
on duty, and to stay in that conditioi
uutii a suuuen lurca oi cue Doat sn&Kes
it out of him. Never at sea does he ex- .
pect to be able to turn In for a ful) ■
night’s sleep, says a writer in the Boston
Globe.
ThU difficulty of sleeping on a torpedo
boat at sea is one of the principal rea
sons why the fleet of destroyers sent to
Manila had an itinerary arranged for it
which provided for 90 day3 spent in port
and only 70 at sea. This 90 days of rest
against 70 of active seagoing is calculat
ed to be about the limit of endurance of
a picked crew on a torpedo boat A de
stroyer. it must me remembered, is only
a torpedo boat of a larger growth, and
not so much larger as to make any mate
rial difference in the amount of discom- j
fort and strain put upon the crew, espe
cially where the theater of action is the
open ocean.
A man who has had much service on a
torpedo boat said to the writer:
“It is not only sleep with which you ,
have to play catch as catch can on board :
a torpedo boat, but you have to play tag
with your food as well. If there was
anything like a sea on. we never used to
think of sitting down to table, but took
such food as we could get in one hand
and ate It while we held on with the
other.
“A great part of the time cooking was
next to impossible, and cold canned
stuff, or what was left over of the stuff
which had been cooked in port, had to
suffice us, and we grabbed that as we
could and when we could.
“The cook always, or almost always,
used to make coffee for us, though how
he managed It was a mystery, lor
though he used to lash the coffee pot
to the top of the stove and toe down
the lid, the pitching and the rolling of
; the boat in a heavy seaway would spill
s large portion of the contents of the pot
i out through the spout.
“Then cookey would put a cork in
the mouth of the spout, and when the
| boiling coffee generated steam enough
the lid would blow off, or the cork would
fly out. Altogether, it was only by the
exercise of indefatigable energy and
skill of the sort which ought to have
been recognized in geneiral orders that
finally enough coffee wodld be manufac
tured to give each man s^Rup,**
MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
- I
Kotor Boat Invented by Frenchman
Goes at Express Train
Speed.
Among the many interesting experi
ments with motor boats, says the Lon
don Mail, perhaps the most pictur
esque were those on the Seine at
Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert,
in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion
and Bouton, brought out their bateau
glisseur, or gliding boat It is also
called a hydroplane, and that name is
really indicative of its construction.
With a De Dion 14-horse power mo
tor, the count attained a speed of 28
kilometers an hour in his first ex
periments, and now he has added to
that speed and has made 32 Kilome
ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
The inventor of this hydroplane la
not, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise the
speed to 3& or even 40 kilometers, or
25 miles an hour, or a speed that is
not exceeded by the use of a 40-horse
power motor.
The boat itself is 36 feet long and
nine feet wide. To the bottom of the
boat are affixed five planes or fin3.
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. They
are hinged, however, and are all under
control of the driver. When the mo
tor is set in motion and the boat
begins to move these planes, begin
ning at the bow, are gradually, given
a backward angle. The boat rises in
the water and then gradually rests
upon it, with the stern of the boat
only immersed. The speed increases,
and the boat, following the Inclination
of the planes, glides along the surface
of the water just as an aeroplane
glides on the air, and with not much
more resistance.
It is confidently expected that with
an increased horse-power motor the
hydroplane, will reach a speed of 60
miles an hour.
TO AUCTION QUEEN’S GOODS
All Furniture and Treasures of Isa
bella of Spain Except Personal
Jewels to Go Under Hammer.
It has been decided that the personal
Jewels of the late Queen Isabella of
Spain, who for many years lived ia
Paris, will not be sold as expected.
The casket containing the precious
stones, neeklaces, etc., has been pro
visionally deposited at a hank, and as
soon as the affairs of the late queen are
cleared up and the contents of her pal
ace disposed of the Oomte Quiaqul,
who has charge of all these matters,
will distribute the Jewels among the
royal family of Spain.
On the other hand, the furniture, ob
jects of art and all the other treasures
tn the Palais de Castllle, Queen Isa
bella’s home In the Avenue Kleber, op
posite the united States embassy, will
he sold at public auction.
; The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to
i|an Sebastian to consult King Alfon
so's wishes on the subject and the auc
tion will probably take place early in
tfie autumn. The catalogue is being
prepared.
It is well known that the contents of
'.he Palais de Castille are marvels of
) hoattty and worth and constitute a verl
MS museum. Several offers have
» aade for the palace itself and the
it nding gardens, but nothing defl
iH ts yet been accepted. The estate
o i 4,600 square yards of land,
ti at $160 to $200 a yard.

, tulti in Getting Goods to Oap
of Guatemala.
—
\ nogua mercna.ni. sold some cuiiuu
goods not long ago to be delivered at
Qutanla City. Within 300 feet o< his
warehouse a steamer was loading for
Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway
to vithinttptiles of the Guatemalan
capital. Toreach the latter the goods
would have to be packed over the moun
tains by Indians or on muleback. The
merchant iound it cheaper to ship by
way ot San Francisco, thence by boat to
San lose, Guatemala, and to the cap
ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus of
the Southern Pacific, is almost next door
to Mobile. New York, however, en
joyed a cheaper rate because there was
competition with the routes across the
Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn.
So the goods were sent by boat to New
York, thence by boat back to New Or
leans, and thence on their way, going
nearly 10,000 miles instead of 1,100 by
the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil
ity to get at the west coast markets has
■lone much to keep American goods out
of them. Guatamaia has now arranged
Tor the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capital,
and a cheap direct route will thus be
opened.

Brain
W orkers.
Brain workers suffer from
headache because they over-tax
and exhaust the brain nerves.
Tired, irritated, tdrbulent
brain nerves throb and ache;
this weakens the brain power,
and robs the memory.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
bring tranquility to the ex
cited nerves and stop the pain.
If not relieved, this nerve
disturbance is frequently ex
tended to the stomach, causing
nausea, vomiting—sick head
ache.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are convenient to take—just a
little tablet, that in a few mo
ments relieves the pain; they
leave no disagreeable after
effects, as they contain no
opium, morphine, cocaine or
chloral in any form.
“From personal experience X can
testify that Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills i
are a most excellent remedy for head
ache and neuralgia. I have been a
great sufferer from both diseases for
the past three years. A friend who
had also suffered from neuralgia
handed me some of the Anti-Pain
Pills. I took them and they gave me
almost instant relief. Since then I
have a package at home, and another
at the office, and they never fail to
relieve me.” R. V. MEGARY.
