Files" ON VESSELS.
Not the Little Insect, but n Wcather-v -vane
to Aid I'm Steering.


There is much curious sea lore in an
article by Gustav Kobbe on steer
ing Without Conpass," in st. Nicho.
las. Mr.. Kobbe says
The "Ry" at the masthead is often
used AS sign to steer by. 1t revolves
on pivot, and hence, like the
weather-vane, shows the direction
from which the wind is blowing;
whereas flag attached to halyard
streams directly astern, or NJ an angle
more or less affected by the speed
and course of the vessel. A glance at
the fly having shown the winds direc-
tion, a glance at the binLacle shows
from what point of the compass it
comes. Then. by watching the fly.
and thus keeping the ship always at
the same angle to the wind. you are
able to keep her OH her course.
The ships of different nations have
distinctive flies. The American and
the English fly is little triangular
pennon. German ships often have a
small tapering bag at the masthead,
aud French vessels "dog-
line of corks with colored feathers on
q wire.
The steamers of the French Line
from New York to Havre have dog
vane at each masthead-.-it is one of
their distinguishing marks.
Steering by the fly is one way OF
steering by the wind, but there are
other tricks for finding the wind-point.
A sailor can find the point of a stiff
breeze by simply lettingit blow against
his face. In light air, almost calm,
he lifts his cap and turns his head un-
til he feels the cool breath on his moist
brow, which is far more sensitive than
his sun-tanned face; or he moistens
the edge of his hand, and turning it
toward the wind, waves it gently back
and forth aud to and fro until the cool
ness of the air is felt on one side of
that narrow surface and not on the
other. In heavier airs he will moisten
the palm of the hand and hold it fiat
to the wind. The wind-point being
found, the ship is sailedas close tothe
wind as possible, the helmsman keep
ing his eye on the sail-leech. The
least 1uiver, and turn of the wheel
keeps her off enough to fill her sails;
but with an experienced hand on the
wheel there will be no quiver along
the leech. For an ga. B." can tell by
the "feel" of the helm when the ship
is about to come up into the wind; as
a vessel "comes up the strain on the
rudder is lessened, and by quickly
checking her he keeps the sails "rap
full and asleep"-keeps them from
quivering-and holds her on her
course without 50 much as a glance at
the compass

ExulOsions in Warehouses.

Mr.. Charles T. Hill writes for st.
Nicholas an article OH "The Perils of
a Fireman's Life" After speaking Of
the "back- draft" that is responsible
for many deaths among tiremen, Mr..
Hill says:
Another kind of back draft that is
greatly dreaded takes the form of an
explosion, and is usually met with in
fires in storage-houses and large ware
houses that have been closed up tight
for some time. A fire breaks out in
such a building, and, as rule, has
been smoldering for some time before
it is discovered. The tiremen are
summoned, and raising ladder, they
pry open an iron shutter or break in Il
door to get mt the fire. The combustion
going on within the building has
generated gas; and the moment tho
air gets to this, through the breaking
open of the door or window, the mix
ture ignites. An explosion follows,
and portion or the whole of the front
of the building is blown out. Several
accidents of this kind have occurred
in New York-one in stOrage-ware-
house in West Thirty-ninth street a
few years ago, when the whole front
was blown ont, hurling the tiremen
from the ladders, aud severely iniur-
ing large number. Another accident
of the same nature occurred shortly
after this, in a large Wholesale -four
warehouse down town. In this case
it was supposed that PARTICLES of -four

came ignited and exploded; but it was
practically another case of the back.
draft. Several firemen were manned
and injured in this case.

cni conviction Mulrey was brought up
for >cntence ON the first. In this he and
Thomas F. Finncran were co-defendants.
FiHneran was sentenced to four months in
the house. OF correction AMI 1900 fine ON
zach of seven counts, making total OF rs
months imprison nent and sl4O0 fine. Mulrey
was sentenced to not more than eight nor
loss than seven years In states prison. Both
began their sentences at once. Finneran IS
- years old and lives with his parents. Mui.
rey is over 40 years old and has vile and
six children. The wife and children are the
recipients OF deep public sympathy. 1t Is
the evident intention OF the counsel for the
defence to get the two men out of prison
until a decision is given on the exceptions.
This means that test will probably be
made of the copstitutionaiity Of one of the
statutes placed on the books by the Legisa-
ture of 1895. This statute. in chap. 469,
provides that the execution Of sentence shall
not he stayed by reasons OF exceptions pend
ing before the supreme court. Ii further
stipulates that the judge. in case any grave
doubt exists in his mind rs to the questions
involved in the exceptions. may grant a
certificate ordering a stay OF the execution
of sentence.
In addition to the significance in which
the settlement Of tn, matter isviewed by
Muirey and Finneran. the subject also in
wolves a nice legal point which Is OF great
interest To members of the bar. this being
the first time in which the constitutionality
OF the statute has been questioned.

A Father Of Royalties.

The oldest reigning sovereign in Eu-
rope--the King of Denmark, who is
thirteen months older than Queen Vic
toria-is the oldest reigning sovereign
in Europe. Though the Queens senior
in years, he has not reigned much
more than half as long; but that is
longer than all the others, including
King Leopold, who only succeeded to
the throne of Belgium in 1S65-two
years after Christian KS accession.
He has been singularly tactful aud
prudent monarch, intensely beloved by
his subjects, and carrying weight in
the counsels of Europe far greater than
the mere size of the kingdom would
justify. No family is so extensively
allied with The Royal houses rs his;
the Emperor of Russia is his grandson,
the King of Greece his son. the heir to
the English throne his son-iu-law.
