Fleming Day. the well-known yachtsman, had the original I. ark constructed he had no Idea that he was establishing a class of small boats tha would become popular all over the world. Day wanted a small shoal draft boat that could be easily handled and built for about J50. The work of solving this problem was given to Charles G.

Davis, and the result wa the Lark. The dimensions of this boat are "16 feet long, 6 feet beam and 6 Inches draft, exclusive of the rudder and centerhoard. With the latter down the draft is four feet. The sides are drawn in at the ends so that the beam forward and aft is only five feet. Tha bow Is shaped like the Bow ot a ferryboat.

The sail contains 200 square feet of canvas. The centerboard trunk and mast step are formed by bolting two planks together, which run through tho center of the boat and stiffen the whole structure. In this country and Canada more than 100 of these boats have been built. The Bufialo Yacht Club has 21, the Spring-iield (Mass.) Canoe Club six, and the Maltabesett Yacht Club of Middletown, six. There are also some In France, Kngland, Ireland, Scotland, Austria, Finland, Germany, Mexico, Buenos Ayres.

Penang, Honolulu, New Zealand and Tasmania, and there are two large fleets, one nt Sydney, New South Wales, and another in Western Australia. The most expensive boat of this class was built at Honolulu and cost $150. The cheapest was constructed In Canada for $26, all complete. In England they cost JlflO, and in thla country they can be built for $50. The Douglaston Yacht Club has arranged a week's racing for these boats to begin on Aug.

This letter purported to be one from a German to an Italian attache of the embassies of those two governments In Paris In which Dreyfus was mentioned by name as being guilty. The forgery was first suspected because of differences between the paper of the bogus letter and some gpnulne ones.

Zola. In his "I accuse" letter, said Du Paty de Clam was the whole Dreyfuse affair. He was full of theatrical mysterlousness and II was between him and Esterhazy that the "veiled lady" was alleged to have carried documents and Information. At the Zola and other trials Du Paty de Clam was one of the most silent and stubborn witnesses on cross-examination by the defense. He was at last cashiered, or at least placed on the inactive list, because as officially announced of his relations with Esterhazy in the sending of bogus telegrams to Col.

He began a private investigation wntcn resuirea in nis Deing sent to Tunis. He was a witness for the defense in the Zola trial, and was consequently Imprisoned for allowing secret documents to become public.

At this time he declared that If he were found dead in prison It would be murder, as he had no Intention of committing suicide. He was released from prison this month after a revision had been ordered. SCHEURER-KESTNER life member of the French Senate, a strong from the London Skctclu shows a brief official communication In all the pajKTs. iJf'yfus was in close confinement until Pec. i.

when his counsel, M. Demantie. was allowed to see him. December 1: Dreyfus was arraigned before the (Ireat crowds gathered to pt'e him cross the street and shouted: "Death to the traitor!" The trial was s'n and lasted days, when the court found the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to transportation for life, aftt'r being subjected to military degradation. On the morning of Jan.

4 the condemned man was ordered to put on a captain's uniform that had been special- ly prepared by having the lace on the cap, the red seams of the trousers, and the buttons and the trimmings on the tunic taken off and then stitched on again strongly enough to stay In place, but so loosely that they cruld easily be torn off. The sword that he was made to buckle on. had also been filed on each side about half-way down the blade. He was then searched, handcuffed, placed In a prison van, and taken by a military escort to the Ecole Militaire, where he was marched between guards into the center of a hollow square of troops In the large courtyard of the school. The morning was misty and rainy, and the court yard was a muddy waste, round which loomed the buildings with windows filled with faces, while a vast crowd that surged and pushed in the avenues without uttered loud and menacing cries against the prisoners.

At 9 o'clock the drums rolled, the troops presented arms, and the regimental band rlayed a melancholy ttir.e. The sentence was read, Dreyfus standing firmly with head erSct, his left hand resting on the pommel of his sword, and his eyes looking squarely in the eyes of Gen. Darras, who commanded the troops. Then a gigantic Adjutant tore the triple band from the Captain's cap, the buttons from his coat, the gold lace from the collar and sleeeves, and the red stripes from his trousers. As the Adjutant flung them on the around, Dreyfus threw up his arm, and cried In a voice heard far beyond the limits of the court yard: "You are degrading ftn Innocent man.

Long live France!" A roar of execration answered him: "Death to the traitor!" and the big ad the distinct understanding that he was to have a free hand In the Dreyfus affair. After seeing the "1S96 letter," he derlared his belief In Dreyfus' guilt, and even after Col. Henry's confession timt he had forged this letter, Cavalgnac persisted in this belief, and resigned when his ends were about to be defeated. CLEMENCEAU Albert, brother of Dr. Georges Clemenceau.

He was junior council for the defense In the Zola trials, especially representing M. Pereaux. CONFESSION The Dreyfus. A few mlhutes before the public degradation of Capt. Dreyfus at the Ecole Militaire, he Is alleged to have said to Capt.

Le-brun officer of the Republican Guard of Paris: "If I did deliver up documents to Germany, It was only In order to obtih more important ones in return." Another version Is: "Even granting I had given documents to Germany, It was only In order to obtain more Important ones in return." Lebrun Renaud is said to have denied this confession, and his written evidence that It was made to him, said to have been In posessslon of the Minister of War, was never produced.

DREYFUS AND HIS ALLEGED SYNDICATE. DREYFUS Albert, captain of the 14th Regiment of Artillery In the French BRIGHT GIRL AT AN ANVIL. A brlKht-faoed girl works with hammer and anvil at a forge In a shop next to the railroad tracks at Ihe font of Harrison street, says Ihe Boston Herald.

The society girl on her way from New York to the White mountains wheels around in the soft-cushioned chair of the parlor car and tells the news to her mother In astonishment. It Is surprising, indeed, for both Kirls are in the same position In life, only the one in the shop prefers to be somewhat more practical than the one In the parlor car. Her name is Lydia Gould Weld, the shop is part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and she Is studying to be a naval architect. Women blacksmiths are not unknown in the world, but Miss Weld is the first young lady to make a detour from the path of the higher education of women into blacksmith and machine shops. She Is 21 years old, and is the daughter of the late Franklin Weld of Falmouth.

While attending Technology, she lives with her relatives, the George F. Seavers. on Morton street. Jamaica Plains. She is an attractive girl of medium height, with brown hair, blue eyes and a merry laugh, which does not go at all with the popular conception of the erudite woman.

She has not had a college education in the classics, but is well up in mathematics. Before com ing to the institute or recnnoiogy sne was a pupil at Miss Baldwin's fashionable school at Bryn Mawr. The modern marine architect has to know all about machinery, especially of the hydraulic and electrical type, and their principles of operation must be firmly grasped, for the architect must not only plan, but see that nis plans are carried out. It Is absolutely essen tial that he familiarize himself witn the principles ot machine design, and the modern way Is to put him Into a shop end set him at work creating machines and their parts. That is why It is nec essary for Miss Weld to go through the shops if she Is to be as well fitted tor lYfm 1 niiisr ra Inn nf Pari PRESIDENT BALLOT-BKAUPBE, OF THE C0UHT OF CASSATION, BEADING THE HEPOHT THAT GAVE DREYFUS A NEW TRIAL.

Bilnt of trying to intimidate the Court of Cassation into upholding Zola's conviction. The court grants the first Zola appeal and the verdict against him Is quashed. April 8 Members of the Esterhazy eourl-martlal decide to push the case against Zola. Count Henry Casella publishes In the Siecle an expose of the treasonable dealings of Ester-hazy with the German military at- tache.
