those who have nothing to recommend

no time should be lost in removing the

Facts and Figures About the Amer-
ican Yacht Columbia. '
1: Will Cost Half a Million Dollar. to
Build and Sail Her for One Sen-
son—Rer Wonderful Rig-
ging nnd Keel.
The yacht Columbia will be the largs
est and costliest vessel ever designed
for purposes of sport.
Of a1 lthe things about the Columbia
the most impressive is the power of her
sails. In a fair wind they are equal to
the enginesof a fast steam yacht. The
Columbia displaces 145 tons. A- steamer
of that size, in order to equal her speed,
would need engines of 1,500'horse pow-
er. The horse of machinery is ahypo-
.thetical creature who can lift 33,000
pounds one foot in one minute. A8 a
matter of fact horses as powerful as
A that are hardly known to—day.
Thus we .find, says the New York
Journal, that the Columbia’s sails
would exert a power equal to that of
‘1,500} phenomenally ‘powerful horses.
To put it in another way, slfe would be
able to pull 49,500,000 pounds one foot
in'one minute. ,
The total sail area of the Columbia,
including, all her top and head sails, is
19,945 square feet. That includes the
mainsail, 7,475 square feet; the jib,
1,850 square feet; the topsail, 1,400
square feet; the jib topsai1,.1,620 square
feet, and the spinnaker, 7,000 square
feet. '
If the total of 19,945 square feet were
divided up into sheets they would com—
fortably cover 712 men and a boy. This
arrangement would allow each man a
sheet seven feet long by four'feet broad.
The lead in the keel of the Columbia
weighs 90 tons. Now, the weight of a
perfectly formed woman at her most
attractive age is declared by artists to
be 130 pounds. Therefore that keel
weighs as much as 1,384 beautiful wom-

ish fleet at Santiago. . y. '
The running rigging to. benSed on
the Columbia is one and one-half miles
in length. Here are the chief items in
this rigging calculation:
Mainsheet, 770 feet; throat halliards,
462 feet; mainsheet jig, 308 feet;
peak halliards, 800 feet; jib hal-
liards, 300 feet; jib jig, 270 feet; jib
dovmhaul, 180 feet; staysail halliard-s,
230 feet; jib topsail halliards, 000 feet;
spinnaker halliards, 600 feet; topsail
halliards, 350 feet; topsail sheet, 200
feet; topsail tack, 90 feet; jib topsail
sheets, 250 feet; jib sheets, 180' feet;
staysail sheets, 1.00 feet; spinnaker
boom lift, 240 feet; spinnaker boom
guys, 180 feet; spinnaker boom outhaul,
200 feet; spinnaker boom sheet, 80 feet;
balloon jib sheets, 150 feet; balloon jib
downhaul, 250 feet; reefing tackle on
main boom, 100 feet' club topsail hal-
liards, 350 feet; cluh topsail guy, 300
feet; club topsail tack, 90 feet; boom
tackle, 130 feet; quarter lifts, 180 feet;
quarter lift tackles, 660 feet; topmast
backstays, 240 feet; topmast backstay
tackle, 200 feet; masthead runners, 140
feet; masthead runner tackles, 200 feet.
The rope used in the Columbia’s rig-
ging averages an inch in thickness.
Three hundred feet of one-inch rope
makes a coil three .feet in diameter
and two feet-high. ‘Now a mile and-7a
half of one-inch rope is about 27itimes
as much as that. Therefore it appears
that all that rope Will make an enour-
mous coil 27 feet high and ..six feet in
diameter. " , '
A steel mast had been built for the
Columbia, and she may sail either with
this or a wooden one. The steel mast-
is, of course, 11011 It is 110 feethi'gh
and 60 inches in mference at the
thickest part. It has a capacity of 241 ~
920 cubic-\lnches, or 900 gdllons. M-
ly speaking, it would hold 19 banning!

owners and officers are sure .to {also I
hand in the work when there is need'for
it. Assuming the average weightyf
them to be 150 pounds, they will weigh
altogether 6,000 pounds, or about thm
tons. That is just the weightthey cu
pull when hauling down. The might
of the mainsail is 800 pounds, ad of
the gaff 250 pounds. The pres.“ of
the wind is likely to double fish and
produce a total weight of over 2,000
pounds, which the crew. will have to
lift. They will, therefore, have 4,000
ipounds tq'spare, and that will enable
‘them to do the work as quick as a flash.
The 89 sailors on the defenderwill
get $35 a month apiece. Fora season of
five months they will ‘draw $0.825 in
pay. Their food will cost $10 a month
apiece. C’apt. Barr will receive $41000
for the season. The matter of salaries-
, and food will alone cost over $13000.
