Problems Of Supplying battle ships with

Problems Of Supplying battle ships with
Coal In War Times.
A few years ago. to the establishment
OF many people, Admiral Sir Michael
Culme-Seymour demonstrated the pos.
slbility, provided the conditions Of
weather and sea be not especially un.
favorable, Of ;oaling battle ships In mid.
Atlantic. Trouble, anxiety and Ger.
thin amount Of risk are involved, but all
these disadvantages might be notably
lessened II instead Of employing ordi.
nary trampcolliers Of small Tonnage, we
build class of "feet GOLFERS" specially
designated for the service Of the navy In
war tine, and II attached to them we
maintained corps Of officers and men
all specialists in the arts and mystery Of
coaling ships.
The features desirable In such YES
sci IRE great coal carrying capacity,
high speed, well-protected stern, a
moderately heavy gun mounted as n
stern chaser and all the latest and best
appliances to facilitate rapid coaling
from her. No navy us yet possesses a
vessel Of that sort. Her value and Use

nous. For in most sens greater pro-
portion of moderate than rough weather
Ia encountered. In many seas there are
islands or rocks the lee afforded Ivy
which might be utilized for coaling pnr-
poses, II only coulers happened TO he
on the spot, and II II were standing
rule In any squadron to which "fleet
golfers" were attached that ships
should fill up with coal ut every possible
opportunity. even II at the moment they
did not actually need Il, the ability Of
our vessels to operate effectively at long
distances from their bases would he
enormously furthcred.
AS for the 'fiect-collier" herself, when
cruising with n fleet she would have no
difficulty in keeping up with 1t, and
could therefore I've protected By 1t, and
when detached her speed - 20 or %
knots-would enable her to outstrip ell
but the very fastest Of the enemy's
cruisers. Her nrmorcd stern would
shield her from the shells even by them,
and her heavy stern chaser would cn-
able her TO return at least as good ns

be built to carry 5000 or 10000 tons Of
coal in addition to supplies for herself.
II opportunity afforded, she might dis
charge her cargo at some temporary
bnse and return home for more. She
would be neither IN impeachment. nor an
anxiety to any fleet to which she might
be attached, but rather source Of com.
fort and security, and in the event OF q
fatal accident occurring to one Of the
other vessels In the company she could
receive the homeless crew and even wait
about the vicinity Of the catastrophe for
time without delaying her consorts
for an instant. SO many advantages,
indeed, would result, especially in war
time, from the employment OF vessels OF
this nature that II Is astonishing that
nothing of the kind has up TO the pres
ent beeen constructed. II In not too
much to say that the most serious pre-.
occupation of the modern admiral dur
ing active operations is the question Of
coal surplies.-Nineteenth Century.

A young japanese naturalist tells OF
an Ingenious device employed by bird
fanciers in his country, whereby they
cause certain greatly admired thrush
or lark to commence his singing much
earlier than is his natural wont. This
they do by partially screening bright
light set not far away from the birds
cage. The hour Is three o'clock In the

to believe that the sun is already risen
and that the season Is later than II /.
