Nevada's Stone TrOugls and
Indian Mills.

What are called the "stone troughs"
are found in coming up the Trnckee
River, Nevada, from the lakes and are
a natural formation of sort of lime
stone. They are often seen ten feet
long, four or five feet wide, and several
inches deep, with the sides two orthrec
inches in thickness, according to size
the small ones thinnest. They are
shaped like the sheet iron pans used IN
stoves for baking bread, are quite hard.
and ring like piece of pottery when
struck. All are found filled with
sand.
Down about the lake in the valley
are found many stone troughs of Diff
ferent kind. These are undoubtedly
artificial, and We're made by the In
dians to be used in grinding grass seeds.
Some of these look as if they had been
in use for hundreds Of years. a few of
the smaller ones are portable, but the
ma or,ty have been formed in huge
fragments or solid ledges of porphyry
or granite, just as the Digger Indians of
California make mortars in granite
reefs in which to pound their acorns.
Here, however, the seeds are ground
into flour by being rubbed, not beaten,
as are the acorns; therefore, instead OF
the cavity in the rock being a round
post hole, 1t is a long, shallow, trough
shaped cavity. Some of these grinding
troughs are several feet long, and hear
them are found the stones used IN
grinding. They are large and heavy,
and appear to have been pushed back
and forth by persons seated at oppo-
site ends of the troughs, by means of
stout pole lashed to them in such way
as to form two handles.
A few portable mi lis are found. They
are of two kinds. One has a cavity
which is perfectly round,and the muller
used in grinding is as round as cannon
ball. Those of the other style are OBJ
long, and have muller or grinding
stone of about the size and shape of an
old fashioned smoothing iron. These
mills were used IN former times Since
the Piutes have made the acquaintance
of the white mans flour they NJ longer
have any stomach for flour made Of the
seeds of bunch grass and the Wild SUN
| flower.

School Ships Of the Sailor
What the Boys who go on the
Training Ships Have to do.

4TdlQlD& SQlpS nave UO uO.
The real schooling of the sailor
boys does not begin until they are
transferred to the training ship at
Newport. While aboard the Mime
sofa they are piped out of their ham
mocks every morning by shrill note
from the boatswain's whistle followed
by the siug-song cry: "All hands
up ell hammocks." The cry is taken
up and passed along from hammock
to hammock by the waking boys until
all have tumbled out. Then there is
a great scurrying to see who will be
dressed and have his hammock and
bedding lashed up first. The ham,
mocks are slowed in a netting on the
deck above during the day. The boys
are forbidden to lay their hammocks
on the deck or across the guns, but
must hold them from the time they
are carried to the span deck until they
are taken by the slower A few hours
are spent every morning in washing
down the decks and polishing the brass
work about the ship. AT noon all
hands are piped down to dinner, and
at sunset the bugler sounds a call for
hauling down the colors. Five min
utes later comes supper. After sup
per hammocks are piped down, at
eight bells tattoo is sounded, and an
hour later the crew is ordered to turn
in and keep silence.
Talking after bedtime, swearing,
fighting and other boyish offenses are
punished in several original ways. the
most common of which is to make the
offender "toe a seem" for several min
utes at time or send him aloft to
keep masthead lookout" Boys
who are careless about their clothes
or their hammocks are obliged to car
ry them on their shoulders for an hour
or two every morning until they are
cured. Solitary confinement on bread
and water for FIVE days is the severest
punishment which the naval regula-
tions permit, except it be awarded by
q court martial. Only boys between
the ages of fourteen and eighteen
years are received at the training-ship.
From the moment an apprentice en-
lists his pay is So per month and he
is placed in class, where he acquires
the rudiments of his prospective pro-
tession as sailor. They are allowed
pocket money and a reasonable a
mount of leave of absence and can Wis
it their homes twice a year while in
the waters of the United States. In
addition to studying arithmetic, geog-
raphy andUnited States history while
on the training-ships, the boys are
given regular practice in boxing, fenc-
ing, rowing and sailing boats. When
qualified fer sea they are drafted to a
cruising practice ship and visit Europe
or the West Indies. After returning
to the United States and visiting
home for ten days or two weeks, boys
are transferred to naval vessels in all
parts of the world. This is usually
about fifteen months after enlistment,
and he is not apt to be changed again
until he is of age. Then he may re-
eeive bis discharge or be re-enlisted at
