= - INEXORABLE ..LAWS, .. WRITTEN AND UNWRITTEN Despite the War, There Is Little Change in Naval Dining Customs x on British Warships. Nothing puzzzles a new-comer 'so Much as the customs of the senior Service. There are laws, written and anwritten, which are inevorable. Woe betide the culprit who > innocently breaks any of them! The etiquette of a miilitary mess is' not in the least the same as\that around which a naval officers' mess is conducted. The first thing a colonel who came aboard my ship the other day asked me was whether he was supposed to stay all through the"dinner, as he had to get away early, says a naval officer. AVAL MES théy called out "Hun!" In do '£0 they were transferring the bad luck to our enemies! _ Usually somebody calls out "Save a poor sailor!" and the why at once stopped by placing a finger on it. ak : { : Nowadays so many novices abound imthe Navy that many of the old and revered customs are falling into de- cay, if they are net actually taboo. The "pukka" sailor regrets this, and is inclined to look forward to the time when the old custonis will come into their own again. Speaking as one of the novices, however, let \me say that most of those I have met have easily fallen into the "ways of the many," al- though some of us believe it could very weil do without a few of the curious ceremonies, which apparently are kept up out of sheer devilry. 'Drastic Treatment. For instance, if a man happened to so far forget himself as to take from | dish passed to him by a fellow-offi- |cer, instead of taking the dish first :from the officer, he is said to be) "'do- ing a Marine," and the penalty for { told him what he might do in that 'connection, and incidentally mention- "Bd a few other customs, at which he was amazed. I-told him, for instance, that it would be as well if he refrained from inquiring after my wife--or any other lady---at table, at any rate until after the King's health had been drunk; that, also until after the King's health had been drunk, it would never do to make a wager or leave the table without the express permission | of the president.

Officers nowadays are rationed, but there is, comparatively speaking, ' plenty, and three courses are the mini- mum (a second helping, however, is permitted from the same dish!) Sugar, too, abounds. An important Item for some of us! The King's health is drunk before dessert, after the grace. "For what we've received, thank God." Then the table is cleared, all tumblers---even if full--being removed, too. Dessert-glasses having been served, three, sometimes four, bottles of wine are placed in front of the president. | Around each is a silver label---say, madeira, port, sherry, marsala. The president starts the ball rolling, first by methodically removing the stopper of each bottle and laying them in or- | Then he slides the with the sun--i. e, from right to left. Not everybody, of course, helps himself from these de- canters, it being permissable by order der side by side. bottles. around of the King to drink the Royal toast | with water, or an empty glass. On the last ship I was in practically everybody drank the toast in wine; on my present ship hardly anybody does. When the bottles, having gone the round, reach the president again he helps himself, and, replaced the stoppers, lifts his glass and looks towards his vice. Quaint Superstitions. "Mr. Vice--the King!" he gives; whereupon the vice-president says most solemnly: "Gentlemen, King!" and the toast is acclaimed with "The King! God bless him!" everybody remaining seated. If the ship's band is in attendance the signal for the toast is the moment for the rendering of the National Anthem, when, of course, the toast is drunk standing--as on guest nights. There is usually a general exodus from the table after grace--before the dessert is served. Those who remain fill up the seats nearer the president, s0 that the toast and after-dinner par- | ty is compact and jolly. Dessert and coffee are then served: officer not desire to take dessert, he signifies this by crossing his knife and fork on his dessert-plate or finger- bowl. I had a puzzling experience at din- ner the other night. I accidentally touched my glass with my fork. Ags the tumbler resounded, three voices spontaneously called out "Hun!". I asked what it meant, and found that when a tumbler rings, according to the belief of sailors, some misfortune ds nigh. "Every time somebody made the glass ring on the ship I used to com- mand," an officer told me, "a seaman sure enough fell overboard." That was having carefully | the | Should an | this--at any rate, in the gun-room ;mess--is the dish is upset over his |head. What if it happened to be hot | potatoes!

In large') messes, such as that at Portsmouth ;or Chatham, a side-table is laid for | late-comers. | Of course, everybody has heard of ithe toast that is made on Saturday |nights at sea. After the King's health 'has been duly drunk, the wine is once ;more passed round for the pleasing , toast, "Sweethearts and Wives." The |eynic has added the tag, "May they inever meet." But the toast--a happy |one--really is: "To our sweethearts jand wives! May our sweethearts soon | become our wives, and our wives re- |main our sweethearts!" | . ces antenna "CUTHBERT" IN FRANCE, Thousands of Chinese Coolies Are | % Employed Behind the Lines. | Why an anti-aircraft gun is "Archi- | bald," or, in familiar diminutive, | 'Archie," is one of the minor myste- |ries of the great war. A kindred puz- |zle is how every Chinese coolie has 'become "Cuthbert"; but so it is. | Many thousand coolies, provided by ithe Chinese labor companies, are at work behind the lines in France and are rendering admirable servive. Physically, they are of a far finer type of Chinese than we commonly en- | counter in Canada: lithe, quick, sup- ple and tall--often well over six feet-- and .enornously strong. They are splendid workers; in loading a train with heavy army blankets done up in sausage rolls, they easily did one hundred and twenty to every ninety achieved by European workers, and at high pressure ran the count to one hundred and fifty. They are not fight- ing men, and their contract requires that they shall be employed only at a stipulated distance behind the battle jline: but they are courageous and enemy shells that come their way. | They are gay and good-natured, cheer- ful under any discomfort, and extreme- jly fond of music. They sing as they | work---strange Eastern songs, often discordant to Western ears--and have ; appointed song leaders. To the | rhythm of these songs they set their jlabor, and carry it forward . with a | swing, much as our old-time sailors | were wont to do under the head of a | deep-voiced chantey man. | One song leader, nicknamed Tommy, | Says an English correspondent, is one |of the cheeriest and ugliest men im- |aginable. "The other day he tumbled | off a roof on to a pile of timber. We 'thought he must be killed, but he | wasn't, although the tears were run- {ning down his cheeks when we picked | him up. A passing doctor looked him lover and reported, 'No bones broken, | but very badly wrenched and bruised.' | When the verdict was translated to | Tommy, he smiled and said: "Me _ restee two day, | workee." "It took much longer than that, but the spirit was ready earlier than the flesh." | "Cuthbert" has two |tastes besides music: dress and-- like |most Orientals--gaming. On his off | days he becomes elaborate in his at- | tire and employs a whole bottery of | toilet accessories in getting himself up. Singing is popular as a recrea- | Hon as well as an accompaniment to | toil, but he is also immensely fond of | phonographs, Sometimes they render | classics, sometimes the records are | Chinese; and the frequent transition from nerve-trying sounds to the voice 'of some great prima donna is start- 'ing indeed. During one such period of enjoy- then me other marked cere we iad al drink |ment a group of Chinese, dressed in | thelr best, were playing fan-tan and | listening to a favorite record when an inopportune shell abruptly dispersed the party, scattering the men in all directions, wounding several and toss- ing the phonograph, uninjured, to the top of a steep bank. An officer who ran up was reassured by 'a smiling \coolie, stripped of everything except a shoe and a few rags by the explosion and clasping a wounded hand.

The Signal Service has been termed the "nerves of the Army," and it is by this, title that this hardy and proud. section prefers to be referred, says an English writer: : It is an apt term, for signals pro- vide the means of communication be- tween the "brains"---represented by the Staff--and the "hands and feet'-- our incomparable infantry. The personnel of the service are 7 'reason of blue and white arm-bands. | These bands serve as passports which 'enable the signallers to pass freely up |and down the line, patrolling cables, | to take possession of dug-outs for the lestablishment of signalling stations, to enter prohibited areas, and to ad- | dress officers of all ranks. Dogs as Messengers. | Methods of communications are by 'no means confined to telegraphy and 'telephony, as popular imagination ' might suggest. The earth, the air, jand even the animal kingdom are all ;enlisted to assist this particular | branch of the Royal Engineers in their | difficult task of maintaining communi- | cation. Ranged by the side of the wheat- ;stone and sounder telegraph instru- 'ments and the telephone sets are over- ,head and underground wireless in- |stallations, which, not being depen- |dent upon lengthy ground lines liable to destruction by shell-fire, render very efficient service. There are also messenger dogs that | carry documents in specially construc- | ted collars--a recent innovation that jhas surpassed all expectations, rockets 'that hurl despatches "across danger- | zones impassible alike to runners or |motor-cyclists; visual signallers, who | flick messages across space by means | |of electric lamps, automatic shutters, 'black and white dises, flag-wagging, 'or helio. * Communication is also established | with passing aeroplanes and with the | cumbersome, lazy-looking observation | balloons. | In areas where the shelling is ex- | ceptionally heavy all cables are buried in deep trenches, but even this pre- | caution does not ensure complete im- |munity from occasional breakage. | Then it is the duty of the lineman to 'discover the breaks and repair them. The lineman has been ignored by war ' correspondents and other chroniclers, |but his work is every bit as danger- fous and as nerve-racking as that of |the infantryman. Moreover, he has [not the satisfaction of hitting back, but he must carry on with his work i without thought of retaliation. Literally Everywhere.

If we cannot do that, we may harness the moon by machinery that will utilize the power of the tides. - But, while we are waiting for these great things, there are many smaller ones that invite attention--inventions that are wanted, but which have thus far eluded the niakers of new ideas.

Are we always to rely upon nature for the produc- tion of the raw material? Surely not. And yet, though inventors have busied themselves with the problem for many years, they have not the solution. Who will invent a machine that can pick chickens? Where is the genius who will contrive a mechanical oyster- shucker? How shall we find a pen- knife sharpener that does the work, and which any man can keep on his desk? What about an envelope suit- able for mailing small articles or samples? Among other inventions wanted are: A wall-papering machine. A scrubbing machine. A cuspidor that will not spill when upset. An envelope that cannot be opened without detection, A contrivance to receive mail-sacks |from moving trains. A substitute for twine, for tying bundles of mailed letters. A cure for seasickness.
