SUPREME MOMENT IN A LAUNCH.
1t Comes When the Vessel First Gets Into
the Water.

That launch is matter of mathemat-
les, as we'll ms of great skill and labor, Is
shown by the fact that the man OF science
who has the matter in charge always
makes set of calculations showing tho
strain OF the ship and it's precise condition
mt practically every foot of the journey
down the ways. If boat should get in
tho way, or If it should take an unusual
length of time 10 knock out the keel
blocks. or IL any one of half a dozen things
should cause serious delay, the scientific
man knows Just how long he can wait and
Just how far the limit of safety extends.
There is always one supreme moment
in launch, and il Is at time that escapes
the average spectator 1t is when the YES
sci gets fairly well into tho water. This Is
when an important factor known rs the
"mOmcnt of buoyanCy' comes into play.
II YOU can imagine a vessel sliding down
an incline without any water into which
to drop, you can see that the vessel would
tip down suddenly ut the end which has
left the ways and would rise mt the end
still on the incline. But really in success
full launches the storm of the vessel Is grad
ually lifted up by the water, and this
throws the weight forward on that part Of
the ship still resting on the ways. Tho
force OF the water is called the moment
of buoyancy, and the natural tendency OF
tho ship to drop to the bottom of the
stream is called the moment Of weight.
Now, tho moment Of buoyancy must al
ways be greater than the moment OF
weight, but it must not be very much
greater for if 1t were IT would throw too
much weight forward on the part of tho
ship still on the ways and might break
them down or injure the plates or keel of
the ship. When the great English hattlc-
ship Families WAS launched, this did
really happen, and so great was the strain
near the bow hat parts Of the cradle were
actually pushed right into the bottom Of
the vessel 1t is this danger of disaster
that causes the scientific launcher TO make
the most careful calculations rs to the con-
ditions surrounding the ship at every foot
of her Journey into the water. --' Launch.

THE RAGMAN.

Out OF the distance far and faint,
Up from the vale like flowers plant,
Nearing slowly until it seems
To die away like n call in dreams,
Swelling again to leap with "a bound
TO a whimsical crest like wave OF sound,
Now quaver and now a quirk,
Now n twist like Il vocal smirk,
Comes the cry
"Rags! Oh, rags! Any rags To buyI'
See him driving along the road,
Singing and shouting above his load
\ tawny, grizzly, odd little elf,
just bundle Of rags himself,
With eyes that sparkle under his lashes
Like living Goals in the whitened ashes;
Eager. alert, with his word Of cheer
For his raglkc horse Of the shaggy ear,
And still the cry
"Rags! Oh, rags! Any rags to buyf'
On and on through the sun and rain,
Lifting ever his sole refrain,
Up and over the hills and down,
Counting the country side and town,
Always chirl as a merry grig
Tuning under n lilac twig,
Always free as the wind to roam,
The whole wide sweep Of the land his home;
And ever the cry
rags. Oh rags! Any rags to buyf"

it If we are mistaken-Mr. Dennis had
no power to act AS assistant y. $. At
