4 Sea Cooks Training.
Tho Century.l


A sea cook is peculiar character, re-
quiring Il special training. He must
know how to prepare sea hash out Of
salt-horse favored with onions, incrusted
with the variegated browns of polished
mahogany, and savory enough to create
an appetite in stomach that the toss
ing waves have rendered as sensitive as
The needle of q compass. He must I'M
derstand how to make eatable bread,
and take his duff out of the kettle on
Sunday as light as cotton and as deli
cate as sponge cake. Besides this, he
must know how to economic in the use
Of water and provisions, and, more diff
cult yet, he must contrive to keep the
crew satisfied with the mess he cooks
for them, while, at the same time, he
looks out sharply for the interests OF his
employer and the captain. He must
also be proof against the worst weather,
and undeviatingly punctual to the hours
of meals. IL goes without saying that
it is not an easy thing to find such a
paragon in the galley; but when he is
there, he is, next to the captain, by far
the most important character on board.

The fog signal apparatus is now con-

weather its sound may be heard twenty
miles. This power is gained by means
of two slotted cylinders, enc fixed and
the other revolving in it. The slots, as
they pass one another, stop or cut Off
the passage Of compressed air Or steam
and thus cause a series Of vibrations,
and consequently a musical note, the
pitch Of which depends upon the ;H"et

The most slightly and satisfactory

new and curious aspects Of femininity.
Just now they are engaged in q fight
