I) ll W FORD, Durham W H 1P.” Proprietor 1( und Sale. )in I?! h KPH ncm H pa M de Modern Methods Do Not Require duction of Speed. In the old days. said a retired naval captain recently. the coaling process adopted by warships was not only haz- ardous both to the collier and the man- ot-war. but a sad waste 0: time be- sides. For instance, a cruiser on her way to join the main fleet would per- haps run out of coal and the captain would anchor, hall the coliier, who would come alongside, and also an- chor. heavy tenders would be placed be- tween the two vessels and the coaling would begin. If there was a smooth sea then the operation might terminam without any serious damage to either vessel. but with a heavy swell and a strong tide running the ships would grind and pound each other until it was a wonder sometimes the side of the weaker vessel wasn’t stove in. The process was a slow one, too, for with the best intentions the men sel- dom succeeded in stowing away more than 15 tons an hour, and in this way 80 hours would be spent in putting on board a matter of 430 tons. And this. mind you, could only be accomplished when Father Neptune was in his kind- liest mood. ‘ I have known occasions when a man- of-war and her collier have been to- gether for the best part of a day, and at the end of that time the exchange of coal has been less than 50 tons. In times of war, of course, the question of coaling was a very serious one, and was often the greatest hindrance to the mobility of. a fleet, but things have changed since then, and a warship may now coal without even having to re- ‘ duce her speed. “‘IVU nov- â€"" â€" _ _ _ How is it managed? Well, as you probably know, every man-ot-war has its own collier, which accompanies her in all her trips, ever ready to supply the bituminous mineral as soon as she. shall run short. Each warship is now‘ fitted with a cable which enables her to tow, or be towed, by her collier, the general rule being that the bigger yes-- 501 supplies the motive power. As soon as the battleship expresses her desire‘ for more coal, a eableway is run from' the mast of the collier to a. jury mast ‘hn LIIU Illa-JI- v. t" rigger on the battleship. \Vhen thel connection is made, a small engine on'l the eollier is constantly at work keep- i ing the cable from sagging. for, as you; can understand, the distance between: the vessels (usually about 400 feet) is constantly varying. \Vhen the cable has been fixed, the man-of-war con- tinues her journey at a speed of about 10 knots an hour, towing the collier, and thus assists the small engine in keeping the cable taut. At a given signal a coal bag contain- ing about 2,000 pounds weight is hauled up to the “traveler” or cradle, and then drawn from the Collier to the battle- ship by means of a wire hawser wound on a steam capstan. In order to assist the traveler on her way the cable is raised at the starting point so that > the bags slip along with the maximum . ‘ amount of ease. ‘ Of course, only one traveler is used, . ‘ but this runs backward and forward at ; express speed, the bags being emptied; and returned with marvelous celerity. To give you some idea of the rapidity with which the work is accomplished, I may say that by this method 50 tons an hour may be put on board, so that in 40 hours the biggest battleship afloat may have coaled and at the same time proceeded on her way a distance of some 500 miles. “ I~â€"__ I.--- DUI-IV Vvv l.- Recently a clever invention has been patented by a stevodore named Louis A. de Mayo, whereby Atlantic liners are enabled to coal in an incredibly; short space of time. The ordinary rate i of coaling with these vessels is aboutl 15 tons an hour, seven men being em- 3 ployed. By de Mayo’s system, how-t ever, five men are able to handle 1809 tons an hour. The frame and the ma- l chinery employed are made of. malle- 1 able iron and steel, and a continuous; belt runs over a wheel at the top. Spe- ‘ cially shaped buckets, triangular in appearance, form the belt or chute. The pins on the belt travel in channel irons so as to keep rigid on one point. In the wheel at the top are notches which catch these pins and throw over the buckets. It the slanting side of the bucket were , long enough to project over the open chute that runs into the' coal port of the ship it would catch and tear the machine to pieces. But the inventor coal itself. Thus. the contents of bucket No. 2 assist in conveying the coal in No. 1 bucket into the open chute, while No. 3 assists No. 2, and . so on. the present difficulty in coaling liners. I believe, however, the time will soon come when nothing but liquid fuel will be employed, and then we shall be able to say good-bye to bunkers and stok- ers and solve forever the perplexing questions regarding the speediest methods of “coaling” our fleet. “WU UVUJ vâ€" w _, V the writing to have been done with the blood of a young girl. ‘-â€".A-â€"“n‘ V Dr. Semple, the well-known scienusr, deciphered the inscription as being En- glish written in Greek characters.

You’ll come out with a chastened spirit. I don’t know what it is about the deadly polished surface of those reflectors, but I do know that they re. veal every imperfection until you’re more than half tempted to throw a brick at them and clean out the shop. They make you look as if you’d never been shaved, as if the hair on your neck had been growing in riotous pro- fusion since childhood, as if your hands weren’t any too clean and as it your clothes had been made by mother while you waited. And it you’re trying on a} garment they’re fashioning for you, al- though it’s covered with pins, basting and chalk marks, the contrast between the thing and the trousers and shoes you’re wearing makes you wish you were in a skirt with a train to it.

That mutilation should ever have been adopted as a penalty by the Chris- I tlan church one finds it difficult to be- lieve, yet the ecclesiastical authorities inflicted it for comparatively trivial of- fenses, and several councils emphatic- ally attempted to suppress it. Thus the thirteenth canon of the council of Merl- da, in 666, deprived bishops and priests of the right of mutilating the servants of the church. The sixth canon of the council of Toledo; in (375. while forbid- ding bishops to exercise, exelnxive ju- risdiction in ot't'ezn.~'.es involving the cap- ital penalty, also interdietett them from ordering mutilation of the limtm, even i in the case of their own serfs, and or- i dained th'at bishops violating this law I should be deposed, excmnmunieated ‘tweeds, where. with his huge month ‘ open, he fishes for his dinner. 0n the bucket? his head there are three spines, ‘ the longest of which he heads forward 1 in ftht of his mouth, gently swaying Q it in the water. At last it attracts a 2 young fish, which makes a spring for lthe supposed worm, whenâ€"snapâ€"the mouth is closed and Mr. Fishing Frog has had his dinner. The archer fish catches his dinner in quite a different . way. Just out ot‘ his reach on the leaf of a plant growing on the river's brink rrests a fly, basking in the sunlight. ; Suddenly a little stream of water strikes it; it loses its balance and falls, . 3 only to be caught by the cunning little ' t archer belowâ€"Field and Stream. ordering mutilation of the limbs. even in the case of their own serfs, and or- dained th’at bishops violating this law should he deposed, exemnmuniented and denied the last rites of the church when in articulo mortis.

Mumming is derived from the Dan- ish mumme, a mask, disguise, and took its origin tram the ancient Roman Saturualia. In early English times it was the custom to indulge in burlesque sports after dinner on Christmas day, when masked performers, called mum- mers, would disport before the assem- bled guests. This custom is still kept up in some parts of England, specially in Northamptonshire, where the vil- lagers go about during the Christmas holidays from house to house, person- ating several ridiculous characters in their mock play. Beliefs About Waves. The Persians believe that the waves of the Persian gulf are caused by air entering eaves which have subterra- nean outlets under the ocean. One of the most curious beliefs of ailâ€"one closely akin to a certain ancient orien- tal hell beliefâ€"is that of the south sea islanders. According to their notion, the rolling of the sea is caused by a “thunder god.” In old times this “thunder god” killed the chief deity of the islands and was confined under the ocean as a punishment. His rolling with rage causvs the Mansion] Fill: of Ceylon. Every hay and inlet. en the coast of Ceylon abounds with musical fish.
