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. Commander Rodgers and
Naval Constructor Bowles.

IN SCHOOL DAYS.
/-^TILL sits the schoolhouse by the road,
v^. 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.
Dear girlj the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn. In life's hard school,
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss.
Like her. because they love Mm'.

Or only hear his voice
Where the winds whisper and the waves
rejoice.
Kven here do I behold
Thy steps. Almighty?here, amidst the

Through the great city rolled,
With everlasting murmur deep and loud.
Choking the Ways that winJ

Thy sohlen sunshine eomes
From the round heaven arid on th?lr
dwellings lies
And lights their Inner homes.
For them thou flll'st the air with the un
bounded skies
And glvest them the stores
Of ocean and the harvests of Its shores.
Thy spirit is around.
Quickening the restless mass that sweeps
along.
And this eternal sound
Voices and footfalls -of the numberless
throng
Like the resounding sea
Or like the rainy tempest, speaks of thee.
And when the hour of rest
Comes, like a calm upon the midsea brine.

It l.realhes of him who keeps
The vast and helpless city while It sleeps.

PROPER CARE OF THE EYE.
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. Do not wait uur.il
the doctor arrives, prompt treatment
is necessary.
