IDEAS IN BOAT BUILDI NG.
Constructors Find New Methods of In-
creuslug the Speed of Water Craft.
Granville H. Rood, of Washington, a
boat builder of wide reputation, has re
cently succeeded in upsetting all rule»
of steamer construction heretofore ac
cepted as Inviolable by tbe builders
of the world generally. Ordinarily It
has been the custom to place tbe pro
pellers aft of the stern, but this Icono
clastic Inventor proposes to locate them
well under the hull, where they will
work, according to his calculations, In
a body of comparatively dead water.
In torpedo boats and similar speedy
small craft the propeller shafts have
been extended rearwardly of the stern
In an endeavor to attain this same ob
ject—namely, to place the propellers
in dead or undisturbed water away
from the wash and swirl caused by the
agitation of tbe water through which
the hull has passed.
The blade propeller Is also to be
abandoned, being replaced by a spiral
binds, which makes at least one com
plete turn about the shaft. It being
assumed that this construction will
result In greater efficiency by the
avoidance of the pounding, lifting of
water and the cavitation Inherent In
the customary form of propeller. Maxi
mum carrying capacity and speed
with minimum engine power Is also
sought by designing the hull along the
familiar scow lines, resulting In a very
light draft
It Is asserted that the engine power
necessary to obtain a predetermined
speed In a boat of given length Is di
rectly proportional to the depth of the
hull, and, moreover, a light-draft de

use of multiple propellers, located par

RHEUMATISM
AN INDESCRIBABLE TORTURE
Because Rheumatism sometimes comes on suddenly it doesn't
prove that it is a chance disease or one due to accidental causes. It
takes time for it to develop, and is at work in the system long before
any symptoms are felt. The blood is the first point of attack, and
the poisonous acids that cause the aches and pains are then distrib
uted through the circulation to different parts of the system, and
settle in joints, muscles and nerves; and when the system is in this
condition it needs only some exciting cause like exposure to night air,
damp, chilly weather, or the cold, bleak winds of winter, to arouse
the slumbering poisons and bring on Rheumatism. The severity
of the attack depends upon the amount of acid in the blood, and the
quantity of acrid matter in the
joints and muscles. Some peo- RHEUMATISM IN ELBOWS, WRIST»

ates in the blood, as Rheumatism «08 Bloomfield Art,
does, cannot be cured with ex
ternal remedies like liniments and plasters ; such things scatter the
pains or drive them to some other part of the body, but do not touch
the disease or improve the condition of the blood. The thin acid
blood must be restored to its normal
purity and strength, so that all poi
