Laugh Marers Tonic Makers.
Blessed are the laugh makers. Their
bits of humor are like rays of sun-
shine on our paths and brighten our
ways. They put us on better terms
with ourselves and with the world
Lincoln was a humorist and this fac-
ulty helped him wonderfully in his
trying official life. His amusing sto-
ries usually carried a little moral
which was clearly apparent through
the covering of fun. The moral Is
lacking in many of the laughable tales
of the day. yet they serve a good pur-
pose in leaving us in a pleasant frame
of mind. They quicken our spirits
and the smiles they produce are
passed along to the friends we meet
later. It has been truly said that It
Is difficult to estimate the Influence
of a smile or the ultimate beneficent
effect of a pleasant thought.—Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
Boat Driven by Waves.
There is a boat, of Italian invention,
whose motive power is supplied solely
by the action of waves. Elastic floats,
submerged a short distance, are at-
tached to the stern or bow of the boat.
One end of the float is left free to
bend up and down with the impulse of
the water. The result of the action of
the waves is to drive the boat in a di-
rection away from the free end of the
floats. The speed Is two or three miles
an hour. The motion of the boat is In-
dependent of the direction of the
waves, and can be across or against
as well as with the wind. The in-
ventor received his Inspiration from
his study of the motions of fishes, and
he regards the action of the elastic
floats as resembling that of a fish's
tall.
