American Naval Apprentices.

Il >
Lieutenant A. B. Wyckoff, of the
United States navy, writes for Scribner's
paper which will be full Of information
to youths who aspire to become Ameri-
can man-of-war's men. At Coasters
Harbor island, near Newport, R. l., is
the United States training ship for sea-
men in our navy. The officers for the
navy are educated at Annapolis, Md.
The best of the seamen trained at the
station and on ships are eligible to hold
petty Offices among their fellow seamen,
with more privileges and better pay,
after taking courses prescribed for. them
in gunnery, electricity and torpedo man
age1nent.
:. There are too few enlisting stations
for naval apprentices, in the Judgment
Of Lieutenant Wyckof. There are re-
ceiving ships at the navy yards of the
Atlantic coast, and at Erie, Pa. The
Michigan is the vessel at Erie, the Min
nesota is the one for New York city, Boys
that enlist at any Of these places aresent
to the training station at Coasters Harbor
island. The naval apprentice remains
1.-THE station at least six months While
there he receives instruction in English,
gunnery and seamanship. Then he goes
off for a cruise on an old fashioned sail
ing warship to learn to be sailor. He
has two cruises Of six months each-one
in summer to Europe, the other in winter
among the West Indies islands. During
this year he is exercised in all the drills
that give a young sailor health, muscular
strength and agility. From the training
ship the youth is transferred to regular
man-of-war, a cruiser. Here he learns
what modern naval warfare really is,
and has besides the splendid physique
and quickness.he obtained on the sailing
vessel. Thence till he is twenty-one he
remains in the service.
Boys may enlist as naval apprentices
from the ages Of fourteen to eighteen,
inclusive. They must pass physical
examination to show that they are
| L 81
sound and must know how to read and
write. # accepted, the youth signs an
agreement to remain in the service Of
the government till he is twenty-one
He then enters at the training station
and receives clothing. He also gets nine
dollars month and his food At the
training station, after time, he may
get from ten dollars to eleven dollars a
month if he is worthy. After cruising
six months on a ship his pay may be
again advanced to nineteen dollars q
month, and at the close Of year Of such
service to twenty-four dollars o month,
If the examining board recommend him.
The boys are thoroughly well treated
and have excellent food, with plenty Of
time for recreation. The recruits that
make the best seamen and are therefore
considered most desirable by the naval
| authorities are youths from the farms
and agricultural districts Of the country.

The most cruelty in the .'stitch, stitch,
stitch" business in cities is practiced by
the sweaters, who contract with a large
firm to make garments at a given price.
Then they sublet the work to poor WON,
en- in garrets and tenement houses and
squeeze these victims of ignorance and
weak will down to the last, lowest rates.
One large Chicago house has taken a
stand against the sweater. It gives out
no cloakmaking to sweaters.

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune:

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune: There
are politicians who begrudge the
disabled veterans and dependents
their hard-earned recompense.
Yet the total sum paid in pensions
from 1851 to 1891 is but little
greater than the sum paid by the
people of the United States for
liquor in one year. Those who so
loudly complain against the money
paid to the soldier and his family,
usually find no fault with the
sums paid by the people to the
liquor traffic. The pensions are
paid with the internal revenue on
liquor, tobacco, oleomargarine and
national banks, and with the Gus
toms duties on imported goods.
The pension burden therefore falls
on the oleomargarine factories and
national banks, on the breweries
and distilleries and tobacco houses,
and on those who indulge in the
luxuries of liquor, tobacco and i'm
ported silks, laces, wines, cigars,
jewelry, china, pushes, broadcloth
and the like. People who are con
tent to live on American made
comforts and necessaries, or on
foreign grown sugar, tea, coffee,
drugs and fifty other articles which
the Republican party has placed
on the free list, are exempt from
contributing to the pensions. The
gentleman who smokes an i'm
ported Havana or the lady who
wears an imported French kid
should not object to contributing a
penny or to two the disabled vol
unteer and his needy family. To
many OF those who enjoy imported
luxuries, the pittances which they
contribute by reason Of the tariff
on their purchases represent Their
entire contributions to the defense
OF their country. The internal and
customs revenue paid in pensions
is distributed wherever there arc
survivors Of the war, and thence
rapidly passes through the arteries
Of business. Several million dol.
lars of this government revenue
come to the soldier remnants in the
! Northwest to be invested in farms.
homes, clothing, medicines anc
groceries, The burden is one
which nobody feels, but which
brings needy succor to many al
unfortunate home and saves from
a pauper's grave many a disabled
patriot.

Koely Keeled Over.

Wherever anything is put before you
chat claims to be a specimen Of the mys-
terious and supernatural, especially if it
is enveloped in q tumble of long, unin-
telligible words, it is safe to wait awhile
before accepting it. When a sleight Of
hand performer or juggler exhibits his
powers, don't look at the things he tells
you to, but look at the little things that
go on aside The objects put promi-
hently before the vision are simply to
throw dust in the spectators eyes and
distract his attention from the real per-
Torrance. If many good, honest people
and capitalists had only observed these
simple directions they might have saved
themselves several hundred thousand
dollars, saying nothing Of their reputa-
tions for gumption on many occasions.
Now, nearly twenty years ago John
w. Keely, of Philadelphia, came before
the world claiming to be the discoverer
Of miraculous new motive power
which could blow up the universe if he
Reely) should SO much as set his foot on
the valve. He said he tapped the polar
stream Of the universe, as it were, and
got hold of the interatomic ether and
caused it's harmonic vibrations to wrig-
gle around the universe and occasion
molecular disintegration, or words to
that effect. When visitors went to see
Keely he showed them bronze globe,
with a hollow metal cylinder passing
through it into a sort of metal drum.
Kelly tied silk cord to the drum and
the other end of the cord to piece of
metal attached to a common mouth
harp or harmonica. He then played
"Home, Sweet Home in pathetic
manner upon the harmonica. AS it it
could not possibly resist the appeal, i'm
mediately the bronze globe began re-
volving.
That in brief was one of Keely's mir
acles. Hard headed mechanics who I'M
derstood the laws of science and who
refused to be claptrapped by the Home,
Sweet Home business, set themselves to
work to find out how he did it. Since
1874 dollars have been waited to the
pocket of the wizard Keely to the
strains Of "Home, Sweet Home" Now
comes young Mr.. George w. Browne, of
Brooklyn, and AYERS that by means of
compressed air and good sized magnet
concealed under the table on which the
globe stands he is able to reproduce all
the miracles of Keely without any clap
trap at all. A convenient wire runs up
from the magnet through the table leg.
A hidden microphone catches the notes
from the harm nica and transfers them
to tuning fork, the tuning fork passes
the vibrations on to concealed battery,
the battery passes them on to magnet,
which acts upon the wire and that starts
the globe to revolving.

Cheaper Transportation.

The thing that will help farmers most
will be the cheapening of methods of
transportation and distribution Of their
products. To bring this about will re-
quire study and all the wisdom that can
be brought to bear. Farmers themselves
recognize this, and are endeavoring 20
solve the problem. The Florida Farm
ers' Alliance adopted at its late meeting
resolutions calling on congress to make
additional legislation giving the inter
state commerce commission power to
require transportation lines to make
through rates on products 4 Ding out of
one state into another.
The Alliance also calls on congress to
give such authority to the decisions Of
the commission as shall make them final,
and not revisable by any court of law.
| Whether congress has power to pass such
an act as this last is questionable, to say
the least. The resolutions, however,
show that the farmers are thinking Sc
riously about what is the greatest draw
back to their prosperity and cheap living
in cities as well. Whether the matter
can best be settled by law on the one
hand, or by devising some way Of reduc-
ing the operating expenses of the rail
roads on the other, is an open question.
The latter method will probably be-
the true one. May be it can be reached
by the introduction Of electricity as a
motive power for long distances.

The chinch bug destroys 100000, 900
worth Of grain every year. Sometimes
farmers crops in portions Of Kansas were
a failure on account of it. Then science
took up the study Of the chinch bug and
tried to find means Of destroying it. It
was discovered that if they caught the
bug disease known as sporetrichum glo-
buliferum chinches would die off like flies
that buzz around an arsenic paper. So at
the State University of Kansas the work
was begun Of catching chinch bugs and
inoculating them with sporetrichum glo-
buliferum. Then these infected bugs
were turned loose in the wheat fields.
The infection was produced by shutting
up 200 to 300 chinches in a jar with an
other chinch that had died from the dis
ease. In twenty-four hours these would
catch the long name and be ready to be
turned loose. In rs per cent. Of the
cases in which the remedy was applied
it was successful in Kidding fields Of the
pest.
