The Junk is built along tho lines of an oriental slipper with the curved keel for tho sole and the drop aft for the hool. The common river boat or sampan Is on tho even more familiar model of the Inverted flat Iron. Tho modern large junk Is a good sea boat and will rido a severe typhoon In safety.

maran is a favorite of tho Chinese fisherman and the larger streams of that oriental country aro well populated with these boats They are constructed of two narrow canoes fastened tngethor and propelled from the stern with a long, narrow oar. In Its original form the catamaran consisted of three logs, the middle one being tho longest, lashed together. It was used by the natives of the Coromandel coast, particularly Madras, and also In the West Indies and on tho coast of South America. Tho FIJI Islanders developed tho catamaran idea In their war canoes, which consist of two parallol logs Jolnod together with a platform on which a mast Is placed. Those boats are safo and also very swift. The flying proa of tho Ladrono Islanders Is another typo of the catamaran made with two hulls of unequal size. Tho larger hull, which carries the rigging, ls perfectly flat on one side and rounded oh tho other. On this aro placed bainboo poles projecting beyond tho rounded side, and to tholr onds Is fastened a boat-shapod log ono-half or one-third tho size of tho larger hull. This prevents capsizing as offoctually as tho Fiji double canoe. Both onds of the proa aro made alike, and tho boat Is sailed with elthor end first; but tho out-rlggor Is always to windward. Against a head of wind the proa Is kept away till the stern approaches the wind, when tho yard

wooden uprights fastonod to tho sldo3 of tho boat, overlap each other. The natives, however, are expert In tho handling of tho craft. In southeastern India, noar tho Strait Settlements, an odd sailing craft may bo found. This vessel Is rigged with four sails, the larger one sot slightly to tho front of the conter, while two others of still smaller design aro set ono at the prow and tho other midway between tho two. Tho smallest of tho sails is rlggod at the stern and is Intended to aid In steering tho craft. On tho rivers of England and Ireland may be seen several types of the wherry, which Is very popular In these waters. Oars aro used to aid tho single sail In tho smaller boats of this typo but tho Portsmouth wherry, used in tho oj)on sea, has a malnsafl and rojofcos in a topmast and a topsail. Tho Turkish caique Is a familiar object in tho Soa of Mnrmora and among the Islands of the Aegean. She Is distinguished by her peculiar maineall, which Is a combination of a fore-and-aft sail and a squaro sail. Pages of interesting reading might be written of tho many peculiar boats which may bo found tho world over. While the ossontlal prlnclplo of boat-building must necessarily bo similar, various nations and trlbos have developed tho idea along different linos until to-day tho various styles and typos of water craft can be numbered by tho hundreds.

WHY THE BOY WAS BAPTIZED

At a little luncheon Klvcn on tho day boforo his departure for Europe to Joseph Cowen, tho English Zionist, tho subject of apostasy came up and one man, to illustrate Its prevalence, related that only a few days ai?o tho first child in tho home of one of New York's wealthiest Jews had been baptized because "the parents hoped by that luranp to remove an obstacle In tho way of tho boy's projin-si.' This dialled to nn&hor man at tho taiuV a etory toll at Daslo by tho late

Dr. Theodor Horzl. At n dinner party, so went th story, given by Mr. Stockson lionds. a precocious child asked the father: "Do all people turn Into Jews when they grow old?" "No, my boy," answered tho father, who had renounced his faith und bocomo a Christian before tho little fe"ow was born; "no, my boy, why do you ask?" "Well, father, wo'chlldron nro all Christiana, you and mother are Christians, but grandfather, who Just tamo from Itussla, ho's an awful Jaw."

"Cost Reduction" Through Combinn tlon, If True, Has Proved -of No Bcpcfit to the American PeopleWhole Theory Wrong. Secretary Taft scorns to havo got Into trouble ovor his lato romarks to the railroad conductors nt Chicago. Tho Socialists quoto what ho said with sailBfactlon as admitting "tho I'nct of tho class struggle." Tho secretary doUares ho wos misquoted, and that what ho did say was this: "That unless loborora uultod Into nrgnniztitionH, the Inborer would stand ni chunco In that Inevitable controversy that wo always hopo will bo peaceful, but that must exist that Inevitable controversy ns to how labor and capital shnll sharo tho joint product of both." The effort of Secrotnry Taft to allay the dislike of labor to him, on account of his former injunctions whon Judge, In tho interest of employers, and against tho strikers, will roqulro moro than such a small tub that he has thrown to, the labor wholo. Hut whatever may coino of tho controversy botweon Mr. Taft ami organized labor, thoro Is another statement ho is roportod to havo mado In the same speech that no Democrat can Indorfo. bocnuse It does not ngroo with notorious facts. "Combinations of capital," said Mr. Taft." within tho bounds of the law are necessary for business expediency and for cost reduction." Mr. Taft evidently believes with President Roosevelt that there are "good trusts" which through morepoly can produce "cost reduction." It would be interesting to know how these eminent Republicans explain tho fact that although the steel trust by combination virtually controls tho 3teel production of tho country and has undoubtedly reduced tho cost of production, yet persls'ts In maintaining tho nrlco of Its products at tho top notch. "Cost reduction" of trust products Is but of littlo service to tho American people if they do not participate in tho reduction by buying cheaper goods. As thö trusts by combination may reduce the cost of tholr products, why should not tho peoplo who use them participate In the re duced cost? From the restricted views of Secretary Taft and President Roosevelt, a trust that produces cheaper than Independent manufacturers can, is a good trust, but from a Democratic standpoint the wholo theory of trust combinations is bnsed on monopoly, and the tariff which protects tho trusts is tho chief cause of their existence. Cost reduction without reduction in price to consumers Is but an absurd Republican fallacy, Thero can bo no trust or combination unless thero Is some kind of monopoly back of Jt. Therefore, thoro can bo no combinations that are good for the people. Those trusts that are proterted by the tariff would soon bocomo mparatively "good" if the tariff that protects them was reduced to a rove hue baslK so that the competition they have smothered at home by combination would bo revived by competition from abroad. If by combination un-dr-r free competition tho trusts, bo It ho steel trust or any other trust, can then by "cost reduction" soil their products cheaply to tho American poopb there would bo somo ground for saying such n competing trust is a good trust. But there never can bo a pood trust ns long as it Is bo proucted by tho Republican policy of tariff protection that it can charge moro for Its products here than it sells such products for in foreign countries. If the trusts havo any bargain counter propositions to offor, they should be first offorod to tho American people.

Trusts in the Senate. That eminent Republican, United States Senator Guggenheim of Colorado, although when elect od to tho senate ho resigned as presldont or director of tho smelting trust, Is still evidently looking after the IntoresU of tho trust On April 2S. tho Congressional Record discloses tho fact that ho submitted to tho senate an amendment to tho sundry civil appropriation bill proposing to appropriate $75,000 for tho transportation of silver dollars by registered mail or otherwise. As such an appropriation will allow tho treasury to pay the freight by express or otherwise on sliver dollars for such banks ns can uso silver, It should add to the demand, and thus help to create a domand for allvor dollars, and thus put up the price of silver which tho smoltlng trust controls. It comes mighty handy for a trust to have a United States senator ready and willing to do it service.

An Important Bill. Tho sonato almost unanimously passed the very important bill of Senator Overman, of North Carolina, designed to "curb tho power of Inferior federal court Judges In issuing Injunctions against stale laws, by requiring that all applications for such Injunctions shall bo heard by nt least threo ludges, two of whom must be above tho grade of district Judges." Tho bill, If It becomes n Inw, will restrain tho power of tho federal judiciary In taking cognizance of cases which would otherwise go to stnto courts. It alms to limit the Issue of injunctions restraining tho oporatlon of stnto statutes and thereby innke It harder for fodoral courts to assutno lurlsdlctlon In a given caso.
