MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
Hotor 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
Futeaux, 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 is
not, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise the
; speed to 3fr 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 fins.
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. They
are hinged, however, and are all under
control of the driver. Whensthe 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 exnected that with
j an increased horse-power motor the
hydroplane will reach a speed of bO
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
I jewels of the late Queen Isabella of
Spain, who for many years lived in
Paris, will not be sold as expected.
The casket containing the precious
stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro
visionally deposited at a bank, and as
soon as the affairs of the late queen are
cleared up and the contents of her pal
ace disposed of the Comte Quiaqui,
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
in the Palais de Castille, Queen Isa
bella’s home in the Avenue Kleber, op
posite the ijnited States embassy, will
be sold at public auction.
The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to
i San Sebastian to consult King Alfon
! ~o’s wishes on the subject and the auc
ion will probably take place early in
the autumn. The catalogue is being
prepared.
It is well known that the contents of
he Palais de Castille are marvels of
beauty and worth and constitute a veri
' ible museum. Several offers have
! been made for the palace itself and the
| unrounding gardens, but nothing defl
1 aite has yet been accepted. The estate
■overs 4,600 square yards of land,
: calued at $160 to $200 a yard.

Mobile Merchant Experiences Diffi
culties in Getting Goods to Cap
ital of Guatemala.
A Mobile merchant sold some cotton
.MIMS I1UL lUIIg, «|-U lU uunvivu
Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his
i warehouse a steamer was loading for
I Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway
! to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan
| capital. To reach the latter the goods
j would have to be pa ed over the moun
! :air.s by Indian.- or on muloback. The
I merchant found it cheaper to ship by
way of San Francisco, thence by boat to
I San Jose, 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 w ere 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
done much to keep American goods out
of them. Guatamala has now arranged
for the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capital,
and a cheap direct route will thus be
opened.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiaarti
Subjects at Present Residing in
South America.
German migration to South
America, and especially to some
of the southern states of Brazil,
is periodically a cause of com
ment and concern to some who
think they see therein a sinister
scheme of imperial conquest.
For two or three strong reasons,
says the New York Tribune, such
fears seem to us to be not well
founded. One such reason is
that the number of Germans in
Brazil is not, after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later,
census returns are available, but
careful estimates now place the
total at more than 17,000,000, of
which number less than 3,000,000 ,
are Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
I whites. Of these, in 1901, only
j 2,700,000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans.
The latest and highest esti
mate of the number of Germans
| in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage.
Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
zil are twice as numerous, and
| Italians three times as numer
ous, as the Germans. Nor yet
are these Germans so massed in
ucnaiu cto iu iuiui a uia* ;
jority of their population, as
some have imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Rio
Grande do Sul, where there are
200,000 of them, but the whole
population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less i
than one-fourth. In Santa Catha
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
: total of 300,000, or one-third,
the largest proportion in any
state. In Parana they are 47,000
in 280,000, and in Sao Paulo 30,
000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed out as ominous
that these Germans continue to
use their own language, to pub
lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official use of that
language in courts and schools
Weil, the same may be said of
Germans in New York, and in
Milwaukee, and in many other
parts of the United States.
Th'e conquest which Germany
hopes for in Brazil is not polit
ical, but commercial. The profit
she looks for in this migration of
her subjects is to be found in in
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Every
shipload of Germans landed in
Brazil creates a demand for j
many shiploads of German man
ufactured goods. Every so-called
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the case too
much stress cannot easily be laid.
Provisions from Trees.
There is a tree which grows in
(Sumatra, Algeria and China which
is known as the vegetable tallow
tree. From its fruit large quanti.
ties of oil and tallow are extract
ed, and the fruit is gathered in
November or December, when all
the leaves have fallen. Excellent
candles are made from the berries
of a tree which grow's in some
parts of South Africa and the
Azores. At Sierra Leone is found
the cream fruit tree, the fruit of
which is very agreeable in taste.
In Ceylon there is the breadfruit
tree, from which a food is made in
the same way that we make bread.
It is said to be equally good and nu
tritious. In South America we
find the milk tree.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Curious Incident.
1 A man on Twenty-third street
furnished much amusement to a
number ot people on a recent
windy afternoon by a predicament
he fell into, or rather that fell
onto him A large gunny sack
dropped from the roof of one of
the buildings, and, as it descend
ed, filled with air, coming down
with mouth wide open, like a bal
loon. It struck the unfortunate
man squarely over the head, cov
ering him completely down be
low the shonldera, and pinioning
his arms so that he had difficulty
in extricating himself. He strug
gled as if he thought-btjr&f being
kidnaped until be managed

The power that gives you
life and motion is the nerve

irritable, cannot sleep; have
headache, feel stuffy, dull and
melancholy, or have neuralgia,
rheumatism, backache, peri

Dr. Miles’ Restorative Ner
