Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. 
K. Grain. 182 pages. Price, $1.25. 
By Francis 
Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
who uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple, untechnical 
fashion with the running of the marine gas engine, and 
with the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
to meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
are devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
to the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat. 
The main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip- 
tion of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine, 
their causes and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
all technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
down a vast amount of practical knowledge into small 
space and into btm th language. The amateur power 
boat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
and trouble, and probably not a little money.

University, in co-operation with officers of the 
United States Navy and the United States 
Coast and Geodetic Survey, offers a series of

Science. They are intended for yachtsmen, 
officers of merchant vessels in New York Har- 
bor, and all persons interested in the safe navi- 
gation of the seas. The lectures will be given

Motor Boat School. 
THE West Side Young Men’s Christian Asso- 
ciation, at 318 West 57th street, announce the 
opening of a motor boat class to instruct the 
students who care to go into it the practical side 
of boat building and the running of a gasolene 
motor. The course laid out is a very thorough 
one, and besides lectures to be delivered by well 
known experts on the various subjects, actual 
boat building will be done right in the class 
room. When spring comes the students will be 
taken on the water and receive practical instruc- 
tion in running the motor. 
GERMANY has a torpedo boat destroyer which 
is said to have developed a speed of 33.9 knots, 
or thirty-nine statute miles. This is a fine per- 
formance, but it does not match the records of 
Viper and Cobra. One of these British vessels 
was able to, travel at the rate of 35.5 knots (40.9 
miles), and the other between 37 and 38 knots 
about forty-three miles). It will probably be 
some time before any faster performance is wit- 
nessed in the navies of the world. 
THE Seabury Co., at Morris Heights, have the 
new auxiliary schooner for Mr. Fleischmann half 
framed up. The frame is a sawed double timber 
and shows strength which is the prime object 
sought. She is a wide flat powerful craft with 
modern spoon bows. Messrs, Cox & Stevens 
designed her for use in Florida waters.

Cloth. Price, $3.00. 4 ieee weece 
The author has taken two designs for practical demon- 
stration, one of a centerboard boat 19ft. waterline, and 
the other a cruising cutter of 22ft. waterline. Both de- 
signs show fine little boats which are fully adapted to 
American requirements. Full instructions, even to the 
minutest detail, are given for the building of both these 
boats. The information is not confined to these yachts 
alone; they are merely taken as examples; but what is 
said applies to all wooden yacht building according to 
the best and most approved methods.
