The Caille Provides an 
Heal Trolling Speed Without Slowing Down the Motor 
The Caille Five Speed Motor gives you five positive speed 
adjustments. You have a high speed forward, a trolling speed, slow 
reverse, fast reverse or you can bring your boat to a stand-still with¬ 
out stopping the motor. Suppose you were trolling with a 
Push-Button Controlled 
and your line became entangled in the weeds or stones. You 
would simply press the button at the end of the steering handle 
and drop the handle to the neutral position in the rachet. This stops the 
boat but the motor remains running. Press the button again and drop 
the handle to the next notch, and you back slowly to where the line 
is caught. Then you stop the boat without stopping the motor, whil?" 
you disentangle your line. When free, press the button, raise 
the handle one notch and you travel again at trolling speed. 
Bring the lever to the highest position and off you go at ^ 1 J 
1 to 10 miles an hour. And all the time the motor revolves in one direction 
at normal speed. 
Has Magneto Enclosed in Flywheel 
This is of the high tension, waterproof type — fully guaranteed—and gives a good, 
hot spark down to practically the last revolution. We can furnish this motor with 
dual ignition (batteries and magneto) if desired, at small extra cost.

effective results, and travel' twice as far. Some 
will say that you will miss the sociability and 
novelty of traveling with two untutored and un- ® 
spoiled specimens of Lo, but, gentle reader, has it 
ever been your experience—I will not say pleas¬ 
ure—to have for companions two or more Hud¬ 
son Bay country Crees, Dog Ribs, or Yellow 
Knives? They require more fuel to keej) their 
“bilers” going than the little humming “teapot” 
at the end of your boat and there are other in¬ 
conveniences not to be mentioned here. 
As yet the question of fixing this new style 
motor into canoes has not been altogether satis¬ 
factorily settled, and I believe myself that a frail 
bark canoe is not best suited to the purpose. The 
stronger canvas covered boat is all right when 
properly equipped with a well through which to 
stick the propeller shaft, and one Canadian com¬ 
pany—the Chestnut Canoe people of Fredericton, 
New Brunswick—have very nearly solved the 
problem by building a canoe with a square stern 
over which the motor can be adjusted. 
In conclusion, if you can arrange to keep a 
supply of gasoline as far as you want to go. 
either by sending it ahead or taking it with 
you, the motor will carry you as long as the 
gasoline lasts. Otherwise, to start on a trip 
without a sufficient supply to get you in and 
back is about as sensible as starting on a horse¬ 
back trip over the desert without taking food or 
water with you or knowing where you are to get 
either or both on the journey. 
One convenience of the fuel supply problem 
of the outboard motor is that you mix your gaso¬ 
line with a little lubricating oil before shipping 
it to your supply point. There is no oiling neces¬ 
sary other than supplied by the mixture running 
through the machine, and a little common sense 
in being careful in straining the gasoline through 
a chamois cloth when loading up the tank means 
perfect combustion and operation. How much 
gasoline the ordinary motor consumes depends 
somewhat on the skill and knowledge of the 
operator. Certainly anyone ought always to be 
able to get twenty miles out of a gallon, and 
frequently this record is very much surpassed.

LITERARY. 
A very handy, complete and valuable work 
‘‘Field Book of American Trees and Shrubs,” 
has just been issued by G. P. Putman’s Sons, 
New York. The author is F. Schuyler Mathews, 
well known for his other works, among them 
being “The Field Book of American Wild 
Flowers,” “Field Book of Wild Birds and Their 
Music,” “Familiar Life of Field and Forest,” 
‘‘Familiar Features of the Roadside,” etc. The 
book consist of about 475 pages, giving a concise 
description of the character and color of species 
common throughout the United States,, together 
with maps showing their general distribution. 
There are numerous reproductions of water- 
color, crayon/and pen-and-ink studies from nature

ought to command a wide sale, for it fills a real 
need. The price is $2.50.
