OMENS ON WARSHIPS. Superstitious WlilcU Govern the Old Halt* of the Suvy. The nioBt picturesque superstitions of tho seas are those which govern :i modern man-of-war. Every old salt ju the navy believes in hoodoos and upells which may work all sorts of evils on his ship and must bo carefully guarded against. The powers of a ship's hoodoos com mence befoije the ship luis entered the water, lt Is o generally accepted super- j Btitlou that if thc first blow which ia struck tho keel brings sparks the ship is destined co suffer from a raking fire from the cn erny. \ Tlie old i line practice of stealing a piece of wooil and imbedding it in the prow for good luck ls, of. course, Im possible Inf the caso of steel ships, though it Is considered lucky to have a pico? of stolen wood on board. Another old superstition is satisfied by placing a sliver coln In some crevice of the fighting tcp cf thc mainmast cr some place below decks whore It touches the steel mast Originally it was a very common custom to imbed a silver coln, and preferably n Spanish coin, lu the wooden steps uear tho mast. Figureheads have been In high favor with sailors from remote antiquity. Originally they were carved to repre sent some god or saint. Even today a sailor would hesitate to j sail on an ironclad without such protection. Thu- ceremony of launching a ship Is merely a concession to an old supersti tion. Thc various formalities of ship christening have been followed with little variation for centuries. In the early days of shipbuilding it was the custom for the captain and the crew to eat their first meal stowed away in the mold loft Their meal In variably consisted of eggs and sulphur. From this custom has como the pres. eat day practice of providing cake and wine for the crew. And the old liba tion which tho priests used to pour over the prow of the ship as she slip ped into the water hos bevn replaced by the breaking of a bottle of cham pagne. The modern man-of-war dashes Into the water with flags waving from every masthead. In order to gratify this old superstition lt is necessary to expend hundreds of dollars for the christening of a Bingle ship. But no one begrudges this extravagance. In a way lt Is necessary. The good or ill luck of certain days ls still a belief among the sailors. Friday is u day of 111 omen, and Sun day Is usually a lucky day. A superstition about women is a relic of tho old belief in witchcraft. It is thought that a woman by throwing sand in the air on shipboard can pro duce violent storms. Not many years ago some women who traveled on English warships were tortured during a storm to make them quiet the waves. These barbaric beliefs, however, aro partially compensated by the supersti tion which sailors have held for centu ries that beautiful children bring n blessing to a ship. Onr old salts have especial confidence In a ship which is christened by a child. The average sailor is superstitions about the ringiug of the ship's bells. In olden times the bells were blessed before they wero used. At present If a mistake is made in striking thc hour, the sailors insist that the bells at onco be struck hack ward to break the spell, and if by any chance the wind should -catch thc bells ?u? swing them all the way round or If they strike nine bolls it is believed that it will be the last of that ship. All good warships go to the "shores of Fiddler's Green" as a final resting place. Just where this mythical har bor ls situated no geographer has yet decided. It ls In every way the an tithesis of "Davy Jones' locker." A warship which goes down In battle with her fines flvlnc. na occurred sev eral times during the civil war, goes to "Fiddler's Greed." The tattooing habit Is, of course, very common In the navy. It is believed that an arm cr a leg doc-orated with the design of a gun or a sword or some such design will never be lost In battle. -San Francisco Call. She Waa ?be Boiler.

THE ?lG SEA TURTLE HOW IT IS CAUGHT BY GEORGIA COAST ' FISHERMEN. j Vlw liant ts AiivnjD kim?e at Ji'mus sind th?' linen i ni y Creatures Aro Breoffht te Grief Vhrooak ta? Uso ot Tr?ele amd Device. One cf tb? favorite sum mer sports ot the iiabermen and marooner* of Savan nah la turtle hunting on the Bandy henrh?a nif ino nnitrhUprlno; 1 .q bindo. ! where from May io August the turtle?! come ont to hy their eggs. On the long, flat stretches of sand the turtle crawls about 100 feet or morel from the water line, aud there, with her flippera scooping out a round hole from two to three feet deep, deposita her eggs, often 300 or more, covering every 50 or so with a thin layer of sand, and putting n Anal layer of con* 8iderablo thickness over the top of the nest after her maternal duties are fin ished. ThiH Anal filling in of tho nest she brice tbs off even with the beach and after making the surroundings ns nearly as possible like the remainder of tho beach, if undisturbed, crawls back to. the water with the pion ?lng consciousness of duty well performed ana the comment conviction that in a short time her maternal heart will be gladdened with a numerous progeny. Even when she escapes with her life, however, her hopes of a family are of ten disappointed, for turtle eggs are conceded to be ft delicacy by nearly everybody who has tried them, and ii. is this toothsomeness of her product that leads to the undoing of the turtle's hopes, for during the season pf her lay ing the neats are sought for continu ously and many of them found and robbed of their contents. The method of search 1B very simple. Where.the tracks of tho turtle ore found leading up the beach they are followed, and the ground ot various points along the ?foll ls tested by means of a slender rod or walking cane. The nest is dis-j tinguished when reached by the ready| yielding of the sand, and the hunters t scoop out the sand with their hands j and appropriate the eggs. But it ls in securing the turtle herself that the hunter finds the greatest pleasure. The hunt ls almost always made at night and preferably during moonlight. The conditions are best about the middle of May, during a full moon, and la the carly morning hours. Then skirting the water line the hunt ers walk along thc beach, keeping n sharp lookout for tracks as they pass along and a still sharper lookout ahead for the creature itself. On a clear night the great, shim1 - ring animal can be distinguished a long way off. When one ls sighted, the hunters determine their further proceedings In accordance with, the position of the creature with respect to the nearness of the water ; line and its evident intentions. If oui its way to make a nest, which isl known by its crawling up the sand and away from the water, there is no] particular need to burry, as, unless disturbed, the turtle will not return to the water until she has deposited her eggs. So usually the huniers are con tent to walt a safe distance away until the nest has been completed and the actual laying of the eggs begun. Then they may approach with impunity, for the turtle, once on the nest, will not I move until she has completed her task. It is when she commences her retreat to the water that the hunters secure her by catching the side of the shell and turning her over on her back, where she lies helpless and can only fan her mighty and powerful flippers in wrathy impotence. The turtle is a firm believer that dis-| cretion is the better part of valor, andi she shows fight only when cornered | and hus no way of escape. Should shel catch sight of her natural enemy, man, before she has begun to lay, she will at once beat a hasty retreat toward the water, scaling the hard beach' and thrnwlnrr hncfc luionS?oa r?? Simd In her haste. But when she is brought to bay she will both bite and strike heavy blows with her flippers, and these must be carefully avoided while she ls being turned on her back. It Is owing to her efforts to Injure! her enemies that her final undoing is accomplished, for, like most of the family testudinata, the turtle can draw its head Into the shell and close ita flippers close to its sides, making Itself practically impervious to attacks. This its captor knows, and so when ready to slaughter lt he pokes its bead with a stick until, to stop the annoyance,! tho animal extends its head, when lt ls' cut off by a well directed blow, with! hatchet or ax. Some persons claim that there can be found la the turtle portions that taste like and resemble tn appearance chick en meat, veal and beefsteak, bat the average marooner finds In the turtle only turtle, which both in texture end taste closely resembles beefsteak.
