THE MERCHANT SERVICE.
The American seamen Better Fed Than
Than the English,

/ am asked to write the truth about the
merchant sailor, and l must frankly tell
my young readers whose leaning may be
toward the sea that, as things stand, they
must look to be illfed if they enter a
merchantman's forecastle. | believe the
American seaman. when he is to be found,
is better used in this way than the British;
his scale of dietary is not larger than ours,
but the food is OF better quality. His
-four is white; his biscuit does not wrig-
gle at the pores; his pork and beef are
sweet. There would be little to complain
of if sounds meant things; If the names in
a catalogue of f%orecastle provisions ex-
pressed the true nature of the stuff they
labelled or indicated. For example, in
1874, the Committee of the General Ship
owners Society recommended a scale of
forecastle eating that comprised bread,
beef, pork. -four, rice, peas, tea, sugar,
mustard and vinegar. Here seems plenty
for a poor mans meal. But open the av-
erage harness cask in which the meat is
kept, and the odor is that of q trough;
hand up a piece of biscuit out of the
bread-barge and let it lie in the sun-the
bakers biscuit ashore does not crawl like
that! Observe the dingy hue of this SAM
pie of -four. Where grew tue wheat, and
where revolved the mill by which that
cask was tilled?-From 1.-THE Life of the

ANTIQUITY OF THE PUMP.
The World In All Ages Has Employ
Ingenious Devices for Raising Water

The World In All Ages Has Employed
Ingenious Devices for Raising Water.
The development of the modern steam
pumping-engine forms one of the most
Important features of progress in the field
of mechanics, the details of which are out
lined in an entertaining manner by Mr..
William M. Barr in the Engineering
Magazine. According to this writer,
however. the ancients were not without a
great deal of ingenuity in deyising meth
DDS for the raising OF water, and it is of in
terest to study some of these methods, as
introducing principles still in use In the
construction of pumping machinery.
Machines for raising water may be said
to be as old as civilization itself, and their
invention extends so lar beyond written
history that no one can say when the art
Of lifting and distributing water began.
Egypt, the land of unbelievable an
tiquity, the oldest civilization of the ORR
ent, noted not only for her magnifcence
and power, but for knowledge, wisdom,
and engineering skill, understood and
made practical use of such important
hydraulic devices rs the syphon and the
syringe, the latter being a remarkable in
vention n the real parent of the modern
pump. Whether or not syringes were
ever fitted with inlet and outlet valves,
thus making the single-action punap, is
not known: but bellows consisting of a
leather bag set in a frame and worked by
the feet, the operator standing with one
foot on each bag, expelling the inclosed
air, the exhausted bag being then lifted by
a string to refill it with air, implies the
use of a valve opening inward, and it is
difficult to conceive of a continuous opera
tfbn without one.
A representative piece of mechanism oc-
ours frequently on the sculptures of early
Egypt. 1t has the appearance of, and is
generally believed to be, that of a portable
pump. The hydraulic screw is also at
tributed to this people, but their main re-
lance seems always to have been the
Shddoof. seen everywhere along the banks
of the Nile, an invention so simple and so
well adapted to their needs that it remains
today substantially the same as it has
through all the centuries since history be
gan.
The same may be said regarding the
chain-pump in China, an invention the
origin of which a~nte-dates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon. is in
such common use that every agricultural
laborer is in possession of one. Where
irrigation is conducted on Z larger Scale,
the chain-pump is made proportionately
larger and moved by a very simple tread
wheel; and still larger ones are operated
by yoking q buffalo or other animal to a
suitable driving machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is of uncertain origin. Long before
the Christian era certain applications of
fire to vessels containing water. by which
effects were produced calculated to aston
ish ignorant worshippers, were practised
by the priests of Egypt, Greece and Rome.
but their knowledge seems never to have
been turned into any channel of secular
usefulness.

BOOTH In HAMLET.
How He Came to Swear Horatlo and

~ AhN
Marceilus on the Gross of His Sword.
His instructive shrinking from anything
like ~self-praise impelled him often to
ascribe to accident the adoption OF some
fe~licitous detail of illustrative action or
variation of reading. Once, while we
were rehearsing Hamlet" he told me
how he came to adopt the action of swear
ing Horatio and Marcellus upon the cross
of his sword. One night, he said, while
kneeling during the Ghosts speech with
his hands pressing rather heavily upon
the sword-hilt, the point sank into the
stage so that when he fell prone at the
exit of the Ghost the sword remained
standing. When he came to the line
"Never make known what you have seen
tonight
he turned to recover the sword. Seeing it
standing with the light shining upon the
cross, the words
"Il1 cross it though it blast me-"
came into his mind, and he grasped it by
the blade and held put the cross for his
companions to swear on. Thenceforward
he adopted that action. 1t was this alert
ness of mind that distinguished him,
where another actor, content with ira
dition and welded to old ways, would
have seized the sword by the hilt, as
usual AJohn Malone in July Forum.
