IT IS A REMARKABLE BOAT. Can Ball Aicalimt Any Wind and In Nix Inches of Water. There Is on Luke Wntin, In this county, one of tlie most peculiar boats In the country. It will not do to call It a sallliont, says the St. I'uul Pioneer Prexs, for, although it Is driven by the wind, It lias no sails. Tho term stern-wheeler Is somewhat a misnomer, for that name Indicates something by steam, or gasoline, neither of which this strange boat uses. The machinery consists of a -windmill, set up In the center of the bout, the wheel of the mill being connected with the shaft on which the wheel that drives the boat Is hung at the stern, and when the wind blows and drives the windmill around the windmill turns the paddle wheel at the back of the boat and she moves forward through the water. The boat Is made with a flat bottom and Is quite wide, so that It draws only a few Inches of water, and Inas much as there Is no propeller to be come tangled In weeds beneath tho surface, the boat can sail over the water anywhere where It Is 8lx Inches deep, and Is therefore In great demand when the season for gathering water lilies arrives. The windmill Is so adjusted that the power it gives to turn the paddle wheel Is far In excess of the resistance the boat offers to the pressure of the air upon it, and the boat therefore moves easily forward, directly against the wind, although driven by the pow er of the wind alone. This makes it very convenient to use, for although it is, in reality, a sail boat, there Is never any danger of Its getting caught against a lee shore and being unable fo get away. All the helmsman has to do Is to turn the prow directly into the wind and con nect the power, and away she goes, skipping over the water as lightly as a bird upon the wing. Theodore Pettman, of Wheatley, Is the maker and owner of the boat, and lie has hadso many orders for dupli cation of it that he is liable to go into the manufacture of others like It Defend Jew. "It Is ignorance and race prejudice that lead Immigration restrlctlonlsts to classify Jewish immigrants among tlw undesirable," declared a Chicago banker of the race. "There Is no such thing as a grave Jewish problem in . this country. Statistics show that the accession of hundreds of thousands of 'Ignorant' and 'Russian' Jews by im migration in recent years has not bur dened the rich Jews. On the contrary, it has helped to make them and the country as well richer and more pros perous. As to the differences between the liberal Americanized Jews and the newly arrived orthodox Jews there Is nothing to be exercised over. For brethren to quarrel occasionally is but natural. ' But no matter how bitter the attack of the orthodox Jew on the liberalized Jew, the tenets of strict orthodox Judaism command that all differences between Jew and Jew must be forgiven and forgotten on the eve of Atonement day. No scene can be more Impressive than that in Jewish homes and in orthodox syna gogues on the eve of Kol Nldre, when those who have happened to quarrel during the year tearfully extend the hands to one another, earnestly pray ing forgiveness."
