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 ^resent highly developed state there are a thousand and one vital factors that go with the impos ing battleships, the gigantic guns end 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 has been prov ed in every naval engagement since the time lighting crait were first fit ted out with apparatus tor steam oro pulsion and the dire need of obtaining a supply of co?.l dur'-ig n crisis vfts 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, beii ? embarrassed by Tobi as's short coal supply and our i-ta bility to coal in the open sea. I shnll 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 c);<! the Texas and other ships with what coal may remain in collier." Mrny have been the schemes evolv ed for a safe and practical method for coaling at sea, but the history of j these interesting attempts seems to | dato back only to ISSH, when I ten tenant It. S. Lowry. R. N.. proposed that a nrmber of coal boxes should be built, each having a capacity of one tor\ These boxes were to have air tight compartments so that they could not sink, and were to be passed from a co lier to the ships by mc ins of a line, when they were to be hoist ed lo 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 B. Low. who improved upon Bell's idea, one end of the cable being attached to 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 desirea 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. But at least a beginning had been marie, and in .March, 181)8. just prior to our war with Spain. Mr. J. J. Wood ward, a naval constructor of the Unit erf States navy,, with a prophetic 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, for 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 construe!.on really commenced; but by this time the history of the Span ish-American war had been made and written; the lessons it had taught were vividly impressed upon not only our naval authorities, but those abroad as well, for experiments were imme diately begun in France. England and 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 uarly $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.

Within, the master's desk is seen. Deep scarred by raps official; The warping floor, the battered seats. The jackknife's carved Initial; The charcoal frescoes on its walls; Us 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 still her steps delayed When all the school were leaving. For near her stood the little boy tier childish favor singled, Ills 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. I love you!" Still memory to a gray haired man That sweet child face is showing. Dear girl, 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 him! ?John Greenleaf Whlttler. i AMERICA.

Kot with despite for others, but to hold Our station in the world inviolate, We keep (lie stomach of the men of old Who built in blood the bastions of our fate. We know not to what goal God's purpose tends; We know lie works throuch battle to his eiidn. ?Richard Ilovey. HYMN OF THE CITY. NOT In the solitude Alone may man commune with heaven or see Only In savage wood And sunny vale the present Deity Or only hear his voice Where the winds whisper and the waves rejoice. Even here do I behold Thy steps. Almighty?here, amidst the crowd Through the great city rolled, With 'jverlastlng murmur deep and loud. Choking the Whys that wind 'Mongst the proud piles, the work of hu mankind. Thy golden sunshine comes From the round heaven arid on their dwellings lies i?nd lights their Inner homes. For them thou fill'st the air with the un bounded skies And gl vest them the stores Of ocean and the harvests of Us shores. Thy spirit Is around. Quickening the restless mass that sweeps along. And this eternal sound Voices find footfalls of the numberless throng Like the resounding sea Or like the rainy tempest, speaks of thee. And when the hour of rest Conies, like a calm upon the midsea brine. Hushing Its billowy breast. The quiet of that moment, too. is thine. It breathes of him who keeps The vast and helpless city while It sleeps. ?William Cullen Bryant. AN IRISH MELODY. TTT is not while beauty and youth aro thine own And thy cheeks unprofaned by a JL tear That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known To which time will but make thee more dear. No. The heart that loves truly never for det s. But as truly loves on to the close. As the sunflower turns to her god when he sets The same look she turned when ho rose. ?Moore.

PROPER CARE OF THE EYE. What to Do in Cases of Disease or Injury to the Organ. ' If the eyelids have become red dened by the wind, bathe th^m 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 ly 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 you 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 also 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 thoy cause inflammation. Rubbing in the mean time only irritates and increases the sensitiveness. If the eye be shut ?or a few moments, so as to let the tears accumulate, and the upper lid be then lifted by taking hold of it at the center, the cinder or dust is often wasned 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 Hies 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 miik and water. Do not wait until the doctor arrives, prompt treatment is necessary. HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. When milk is spilled on a woolen dress or coat at once apply absorbent cotton. All traces of the stair, will be removed. Daring colors, like yellow and Prus sian blue, are now often used where suitable to enamel odd chairs for both porch and indoor use. A few drops of alcohol rubbed on the inside of lamp chimneys will re move all trace of greasy smoke when water alone is of no avail. Virtu* of Ex*rciss.
