for half dozen worlds. Summed up,
this cruise is the stiffest and hardest
work they have ever done, and it is
also the finest holiday they have ever
enjoyed.
This paradox is easily explained.
The Bancroft now carries but half of
her regular crew, and ell the drudgery
of running a warship falls upon the
cadets. This means that the boys have
to take their turns in the stokehole
shoveling coal on the furnace fires,
raking over smoking ash pits, going
alott to furl sail in blustery weather,
oiling machinery, rowing heavy boats,
doing guard duty at night, swabbing
the decks and host of other menial
tasks which are not over.pleasant in q
summer temperature of ninety de-
grees.
These thirty young men expect to
become engineers on the great war.

unoer the changed conditions of ma
rine warfare. Fifteen of them belong
to the first class and fifteen to the
second. As it is not probable that all
of the thirty will become engineers,
the work on the Bancroft has been
arranged to fit them for the cline d.
vision, that they may become familiar

While now about two years old, thi1
interesting bit of horseaesh is only
thirteen inches high, and is undoubt|
edly the smallest equine specimen Of
earth. "Dot," as this midget is called
has q remarkable history; for, 'unlik
other dwarfs of her race, she was th
product of an ancestry of ordinary
everyday horses.
Both her dam and sire were of tn !
usual slze and appearance, and so ia /
as is known there is no reason for heI
remarkably diminutive form. She 4

she was not much larger than a kitten!
and had to be fed by her owner from
the beginning. Great care was give1
the tiny colt in the effort to raise her
and now she is full grown, almoa
perfectly formed and vigorous i
health.
Many offers of large sums have bee
made Mr.. Hunton by museum an
circus managers for ''Dot," who is, q
course, much wanted for exhibitio
purposes. These have all been refused
because MIR. Hunton has two litt]
daughters who are so much attache
to the family pet that he has not bee
able to secure their consent. Bein

those who wish to see the tlniest hora

more than pay for the first cost OF
construction. Two of these steel
storage tanks are now in operation at
Toledo, Ohio, where they have proved
even greater success than was antici.
pated.
With the ir.tight steel tank taking
the place of the old-fashioned eleva.
tor, comes the new method of hand
ling the grain. The steel bins are
connected with the mill by immense
steel tubes and air pressure moves
the grain, as it is needed, from the
storage tank to the mill. The system
could not he put in operation with the
old style elevator, but the tubes are
now in practical operation at Con.
'nersville, Ind.
The machinery used in this pneu.
matte system is extremely simple in
construction and requires very little
power to operate it. By system o!
air currents, the grain is taken from
the storage tanks on q current OF ali
exactly as chip of wood is carried by
q stream of water. The air current il
changed by manipulating two valves
one causing the blast, the other sue
tion. A valve in the tank is opened
allowing the grain to enter the pipe
or tube. When that valve is closed
another at the end of the tube within
the mill ls opened and the grain fall
into receiver.
Exactly the reverse operation is
gone through in putting the grain into
the air tight storage tanks. 1t is first
taken into the mill, then put in the re-
ceiving bins and by pneumatic pres,
sure forced through the tubes into
the tanks. The introduction OF air
tight storage tanks and the pneumatic
system of transferring the grain. prac
tically revolutionizes the manner OF
storage and milling, and ere long will
prooably be introduced into the big
grain depots throughout the country.

large mechanical places in Philadel.
phia were also visited. izabethport,
N. j., where gunboat if being built
in the Nixon shipyard, was visited,
and then the Bancroft came to New
York, where many vessels of the North
Atlantic squadron were, including the
monster Indiana, the giant monitor
Amphitrfte and innumable cruisers of
all types. At the Brooklyn Navy
Yard many boats are undergoing re-
pairs, and these afforded splended
chances for observing the details of
warship construction.
The torpepo station and the War
College at Newport have been visited,
and after stopping at all the principal
manufacturing towns along the New
England coast as far north as Bath,
Me-, the return voyage to Annapolis
was begun.
All over the land there are boys be-
tween the ages of fourteen and eight
cen who hope to win admission to the
Annapolis Academy, but these boys
should realize that life there is net 6
continual round of pleasure. It meant
four long years of hard work, with
study, study, study continual diet.
New appointees are admitted in Sep
tember. 1t is a difficult matter te
gain admission to the academy and 9
harder thing to stay there. The young
man who fails 20 maintain the high
standard set is dropped with alarming
suddeDness.

Cure for SunbErl.

Sunburn sometimes causes intense
suffering. Among all the remedies the
following is one Of the best: As soon
as you get indoors order pitcher OF
boiling water. Fold to half a dozen
thicknesses q cloth large enough to
cover the whole of your face. Pour
over this enough of the hot water to
wet it through. Wiring it lightly-it
must be hot enough to make this q
painful process-and lie down with it
pressed over your face, leaving space
for your mouth. Let the cloth remain
till cool. Then dip again, keeping the
water hot all the time. After half an
hour of this dip the cloth in cool
water, not ice cold. two or three
times; then rub the face gently with
white vaseline. Rub of with a clean,
soft cloth and put on fresh vaseline
then lie down for an hours sleep. Un'
less the sunburn is bone deep there
will be small trace of the painfulness
left after two hours of this treatment.

means eight hours of sleep, FIVE and a
half hours Of study, three hours of
recitatione, two hours for drills end
four hours for recreation, leaving one
hour and half for meals. Practically
there are ten hours and half of work
each day except Saturday, which is a
half holiday. In the four hours of
recreation the cadet is not his own
master by any means. He can only
enjoy certain forms of amusement
within certain limits, and is under
a system OF strict surveillance all the
time.
Reveille arouses the cadet at 6
o'clock every morning in the year. He
can take his time dressing if he de-
sires, as the roll call does not take
place until 6.45. Then he marches to
breakfast, and at 7.55 the studies of
the day begin. There is recess from
1910 to 10.2O o'clock and another at
1885 for dinner. The afternoon
studies begin at $50 and last until
3.55. At 4.O5 there is drill or exer-
else which lasts until $50.
These drills are pretty to look at,
but are not much fun for the cadets.
They include the generul branches OF
seamansh,p, gunnerY, infantry drill,
naval tactics, small arms, signaling,
navigation, surveying and ply ysical ex-
ercises, inciuling boxing, swimming,
rowing, fencing and dancing.
The schoolroom work is arduous.
In the first year the cadet studies
algebra, geometry, English, history,
rhetoric and French; second year,
trigonometry, descriptive geometry,
analytical geometry, English, history,
the Constitution, elementary physics,
chemistry, French, and mechanical
drawing; third year, marine engines
and boilers, sound, light and neat,
electricity, magnetism, calculus, me.
chanics and international law; and
fourth year, seumanship, naval con-
struction, naval tactics, ordnance.
gunnery, astronomy, navigation, sur
! reying and physiology and hygiene.
When the afternoon drills are over
! the cadet Goes as he pleases until
$50, when supper is served, and he
has another short rest until $50, when
! he is supposed to put in two hours OF
study. From $50 until 1910 he can
tinkle banjo or sing songs, but he
must stop everything when taps sound,
put out the light and go to bed.

and Thompson's Island. According I'd
the Boston Globe this is q picture oI
the new station boat, which is the only
one in use in seacosst waters. ,There
is one similar to this in use on the
Missouri River. !;
The new station is q boat 100 feet
long, thirty-three feet beam and
twelve feet from keel to upper deck.
It draws very little water and has no
propelling power, being towed to ita
location and anchored there. There
is an opening about nineteen feet in
width which extends about one.third
the length of the hull and through the
center from the stern. From this
opening the lifeboats will be launched.
The boat will swing always on 8 free

bow the life.savers will always have
the lee of the boat in which to launch
their lifeboats.
The new boat has been lying at

launches, bedding, furniture, stores,
anchors, chains and the necessary sup

800 ton ennboat Bancroft has been at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard with thirty
cadets on board, and the boys have

to them when they are commissioned
officers on some OF the great warships
of the Nation. The Bancroft also
went cruising along New England,
stopping at different points before it
returned to Annapolis.
The thirty cadets on the Bancroft
are greatly envied by the hundreds
left at the academy, but the thirty do
not know whether they are fit subjects
for envy or not. When they are on

to swap places with those left behind.

convey the grain from the place OF
storage to the mill, whereas formerly
it was wheeledin barrows over bridges
between the buildings or through un'

The erection of air-tight steel stor-
age tanks or bins for grain in place OF
the old wooden structures not only
does away with the danger from fire,
but it is claimed that it preserves the
grain for an indefinite period of time
and also makes impossible the presence
of weevils or other vermin so destruc-
tive to grain storage. There being no
inHammable material used in the con-
structiou of these steel tanks there is
no need for insurance and mill men
