earth and sky were illuminated, the roaring
of the flames could be distinctly heard, them

With flying feet, with a desperate resolve

not for fear of the thwarting of her purpose.
As ehe passed the window she saw her old

smile parted her lips. For all the hidden
wealth of mountain and canon she would net

Well she knew the swiftest and most un-

Frantically the girl shouted, in despair -

But the impulse had been sufficient to

The application of soda -ash or any other

firm, smooth and along this part of th
Lencaeldie coast effording ample sea
loom for the evolutione of tlaese singula
and somewhat ghoetlh looking craft, Th
send yaohe is simple re coustruction, con
slating essentially of a long, narrow body
with seats along the sides for passoneers,
mounted on four wooden vvheels. The beek
wheels of a send yacht serve exuntly the
tame purpose as the rudder of a boat. The
wheels are strongly. belle,with wide treads
to prevent their einiting in the sand when
passing over soft plush, and are covered
with splash boards in tho usuel mariner.
The yachts are of different sizes, some being
able to accommodate about twenty people,
though they rarely carry so many. The
smaller crafts aro cutter -rigged with large
meineeil and jibsail stretched from the
point of a bowsprit tome six feet long prce
jecting from the front axle. The targe
yaehts have two masts, carrying
foresail and jib. The smile, rigging endrun-
ning gear are almost identical with those
common on boats and small yachts, the
spread of canvas being about the same as On
racing boats of equal length. Local fisher-
men form the crew, the cutters being man-
ned by two and the schooners by three men.
When a send yacht is ready for a cruise
with all sail set and her complement of
passengers aboard, the steersman takes his
place at the helm, while Ids mate gives the
craft a start by placing his back to the front
axle and pressing against the sand with his
feet. When he feels that she is fairly under
weigh he climbs nimbly on board and teats
himself or stands near the mast, his duty
being to attend to the jib sheet and keep a
sharp lookout ahead, While the helmsman
directs the count, and looks after the main
sheet. If there is a good breeze the yacht
soon acquires considerable velocity, which
is liable, however, to continual variation,
according to the force of the wind and the
state of the sand. At one time, with a fresh
breeze and firm, smooth bottom, she may
be gliding along at perhaps a rate of twenty
miles an hour. Directly afterward a .ull in
the wind and soft or rough sand may re-
duce the speed to seven or eight miles. Re-
garding the maximum speeds attained, the
fishermen tell some pretty stiff yarns.
We have heard a hundred miles an hour
spoken of quite seriously; but there does
not seem to be any good reason for believ-
ing that "seder the most favorable circum-
stances avelocity of thirty-five or forty miles
an hour is ever exceeded. Even this is an
enormous speed, and it is plain that the
vehicles moving at anything approaching
such a rate mast be handled in a very care-
ful manner to avoid accidents. And here we
may say that the addition of powerful
brakes te the front wheels would be an im-
provernent. So far as we have noticed,
none of the yachts are at present fitted with
these useful appliances.
The sand yachts are able to proceed
against the wind by "tacking." or making
a zigzag course. With a stiff breeze they
sail very close to the wind, and have a great
advantage over their sisters of the sea in not
making any "'leeway."

Self -Made
Self-made—though there is really no crea-
ture of that sort m creation—is a title which
ID current use has come to be received as a
kind of indisputable challenge to admira-
tion, a proof of intellectual nobility and fit-
ness for high office. Great respect is doubt-
lese due to the energy of any man who
makes the most of his gifts or his opportu-
nity. Such men may here and there rise to
the peerage of the world. But the Self-made
man is badly made who is not ready to con-
fess that other men might have made him
better than he has made himself, and espe-
cially that institutions which gather and
treasure up the wisdom of the past and are
complicated instruments perfected by ages
are likely to educate better than an indivi-
dual mind, however vigorous, or an individu-
al will, however resolute, or a personal -aspi-
ration left to itself, however persistent.

Two Experiimnts and Their Results,
The other night two American cruisers
were anchored at Newport. They were pro-
vided with all the modern equipment neces-
sary to repel a eupposed attack of torpedo
boats. The attach took place and the boats
were beaten off ia all directions. But it was
only a few weeks ago that a shriple experi-
ment was tried in England and the torpedo
boats carried all before them. 1 here was
no practical difference in the method of de-
fence. In that the Americans, were as good
as the English, but at Portsmouth the au-
thoritees uted real torpedo boats that chum -
ed througe the water at the rate of 22 knots
an hoer while at Newport they used row
• boats, or slow tenders, and they were dis-
covered long before they could get near the
cruisers.
