IDEA OF A LANDSMAN. Progress in the Difficult Naval Problem of Feeding the Bunkers of a Moving Fleet?Spencer Miller's Invention of a Marine Cableway. In the art of warfare on the high seas in its present highly developed state there are a thousand and one vital factors that go w:*h the impos ing battleships, the gigantic guns pnd the armor-piercing projectiles; but of all these none is more important than the matter of coaling the ships, and the truth of this statement is readily shown, since it h;is been prov ed in every naval engagement since the time fighting crait were first fit ted out with apparatus tor steam nro pulslon and the dire need of obtaining a supply of coal ?ur'?s a crisis vita rendered painfully obvious during the Spanish-American war. when Admiral (then Commodore) Schley sent to Ad miral Sampson the following telegram: "Coaling off Cienfuegos is very un certain. Having ascertained that "he Spanish fleet is not here I will move eastward tomorrow, communicating with you at Nicholas Mole. On ac count of short coal supply in ships cannot blockade them if In Santiago I shall proceed tomorrow, 25th, foi Santiago, being embarrassed by To.: as's short coal supply and our ina bility to coal in the open sea. I shall not be able to remain off that port on account of general short coal sup ply of squadron, so will proceed to vicinity of Nicholas Mole, where the water is smooth and I can co;'! the Texas and otiier ships with what coal may remain in collier." Mftny have been the schemes evolv ed for a safe and practical method for coaling at sea, but the history of these interesting attempts seems to dal? bark only to 1S8H, when I leu tenant R. S. Lowry. R. N.. proposed that a nr. ruber of coal boxes should be built, each having a capacity of one torvj Th'.'se boxes were to have air tight compartments so that they could not sink, and were to be passed from a collier to the ships by mc ins of a line, when they were to be hoist ed to the deck, emptied and returned This device was never tried, probably for the reason that it was deemed im practicable, its operation being too slow and complex to meet the require ments of fleets when in active service and it would hardly be needed at any other time. A marine cableway. however, pre sents obvious difficulties, for instead of fixed points by which the rope may be kept taut there are the constantly moving boats, the masts of which ac centuate the rise and fall and various rolling motions. Lieutenant Bell of the British navy was the first to pro pose the transmission rope method, which he did in 1888, when he sug gested that the stern mast of the warship and foremost of the collier be connected by a suspended cable, just as though they were immovably fixed on land. Several other cable methods follow ed, but it was not until 189.". that an actual experiment was attempted to pass coal between two vessels while at sea: this was done with an ap paratus designed by Philip 13. Low. who improved upon Bell's idea, one end of rhe cable being attached ro the deck of the warship Kearsarge and the other passing over a tackle block on the San Francisco where it was fastened to a massive iron weight. By this arrangement the motion of the vessels was counteracted to a con siderable extent. When it was desired to transfer a bag of coal it was hoist ed to the masthead, where it was at tached to the cable, when it readily traversed the length of the latter by gravity, the rope being somewhat in clined. Cut at least a beginning had been made, and in .March. 1898, just prior to our war with Spain. Mr. J. J. Wood ward, a naval constructor of the Unit ed States navy., with a prophelic in sight, submitted a plan to Secretary Long, which he recommended, and that had been drawn up for him by Mr. Spencer Miller, engineer of the Lidgerwood Manufacturing company of New York, lor an installation to be placed on board a collier and by which the vessel could coal any of the warships of our navy in the open sea. Negotions between the various par ties interested were long continued, and not until Admiral Schley had sent his famous telegram was the work of const rue; ion really commenced; but by this time the history of the Span ish-American war had been made and written; the lessons it bad taught were vividly impressed upon not only our naval authorities, but. I hose abroad as well, for experiments were imme diately begun in France, England ami Japan. When the Spanish fleet did emerge from the Bay of Santiago there were only eleven of our ships on blockade duty, while three other ves sels, representing an outlay of uariy $10,000.000, were at Guantanamo, for ty-five miles away, coaling ship. The full-sized apparatus was com pleted a little later, and the govern ment designated the collier Marcellus as the vessel to be equipped for the practical demonstration, but before this was done the equipment was set up on land, where it was inspected by many higher officials of the navy, among them being the late Admiral Sampson.

A rasped beggar sunning; Around I! s?i'l the summ s prow. And blackberry vines an- running. Within, the master's desk Is seen, Deep scarred by raps official; The warping floor, the battered seats. The jackknlfe's carved Initial; The charcoal frescoes on Its walls; Its door's worn sill betraying The feet that, creeping slow to school, . Went storming out to playing! Long years ago a winter sun Shone over it at setting. Lit up its western window panes And low eaves' Icy fretting. It touched the tangled golden curls And brown eyes full of grieving Of one who sill! her steps delayed When all the school were leaving. For near her stood the little boy Her childish favor singled, His cap pulled low upon a face Where pride and shame were mingled. Pushing with restless feet the snow To right and left, he lingered? As restlessly her tiny hands The blue checked apron fingered. He saw her lift her eyes: he felt The soft hand's light caressing And heard the tremble of her voice As if a fault confessing. "I'm sorry that I spelt the word; I hate to go above you, Because"?the brown eyes lower fell? "Because, you see. 1 love you!" Still memory to a gray haired man That sweet child face is showing.

What to Do in Cases of Disease or InjLry to the Organ. 1 If the eyelids have become red dened by the wind, bathe them in water in which a little salt has been dissolved. A harmless and good wash for in flamed lids may be made by this for mula. One cupful of boiled soft wa ter, three drops of spirits of camphor, and one teaspoonful of powdered borax. Congrestion of the eyeball may be relieved by compresses wrung out of hot water, and repeated as frequent- I iy as necessary. Grated potato placed on the eye is also good. The annoying sty may also be re lieved by frequent applications of hot water. The best tonic for the eyes is cold water. Give the eye a daily bath. Take a cup close to the eye, and open and shut the eye in the water several times. If your eyes are tired and ache, rest them and sleep. When yju have nothing to do close your eyes. Healthy eyes even should never be used to read fine print or by a dim light. Reading upon the cars is a!so a fruitful source of harm. When reading or working, the light should be at one side, and never in front. Objects that get into the eye should be removed before they cause inflammation. Rubbing in the mean time only irritates and increases :he sensitiveness. If the eye be shut for a few moments, so as to let the tears accumulate, and the upper lid be >:hen lifted by taking hold of i-t at the center, the cinder or dust is often was bed away at once. Trifling objects can be removed by simply drawing the upper lid as far as possible over the lower one. When the lid flies back to its place, the friction will detach any light sub stance. If it becomes necessary, turn the upper lid over a pencil, and the intruder may then be wiped off with a handkerchief. If middle age be reach ed without especial difficulty of sight the person is comparatively safe. If any acid or inflaming substance has gotten into the eyes drop sweet oil into them, and wash out with warm milk and wafer.
