THE CARIBBEAN.
Captain Mahan on the Strategic ImpOr-
tance of the Land Girt Sea.

Captain Mahan on the Strategic ImpOr-
tance of the Land Girt Sea.
Causes specifically very diverse, but
essentially the same in that they arose
from and still depend upon lack of To-
cal political capacity, have brought the
Mediterranean and the Caribbean, in
our own time, to similar conditions, re-
garded as quantities of interest in the
sphere of international relations. What
ever the intrinsic value of the two bod
les of water, in themselves or in their
surroundings, whatever their present
contributions to the prosperity or to the
culture of mankind, their conspicuous
characteristics now are their political
and military importance, in the broad
est sense, as concerning not only the
countries that border them, but the
world at large. Both are land girt seas;
both are links in q chain of cOmmunica-
tiOn between an east and west. In
both the chain is broken by an isthmus.
Both are of contracted extent when
compared with great oceans, and in
consequence Of these common features
both present in an intensified form the
advantages and the limitations, politi-
cal and military, which condition the
influence of sea power.
This conclusion is notably true of the
Mediterranean, as is shown by its his
tory. 1t is even more forcibly true of
the Caribbean, partly because the con-
tour of its shores does not, as in the
Mediterranean peninsulas, thrust the
power of the land so far and so sustain
edly into the sea; partly because, from
historical antecedents already alluded
to, in the character Of the first colo
nists and from the shortness of the
time the ground has been in civilized
occupation, there does not exist in the
Caribbean or in the gulf of Mexico
apart from the United States-any land
power at all comparable to those great
continental states Of Europe whose
strength lies i'll their armies far more
than in their navies.
So far as uG,iOnal inclinatiOns, as dis
tinct from the cautious actions Of states
man, can be discerned, in the Mediter
ranean at present the sea powers, Great
Britain, France and Italy, are opposed
to the land powers, Germany, Austria
and Russia, and the latter dominate aC
tion. 1t cannot be so i'll any near future
i'll the Caribbean. The Caribbean is pre-
eninently the domain of sea power. -

OLD TIME FLYcATcHINe.
Primitive Method OF Getting Rid OF the
Troublesome Pests.

Primitive Method OF Getting Rid OF tho
Troublesome Pests.
Newton M. Wilson, living one mile
east Of town, says Scottsburg (Ind.)
communication, has hanging in his barn
am interesting keepsake in the shape of
a fiycatcher. 1t is not so curious in it
self as it is in showing the primitive
methods resorted to by the farmers in
early days to rid themselves of flies. 1t
is simply two smooth walnut boards,
perhaps 30 by IL inches, beveled at one
end and fastened together by two whang
cords strung through matched holes.
In the antebellum days people never
thought of keeping flies out of the
house; the problem was to dispose Of
them as they swarmed through the
rooms, making life miserable generally.
In fact, the use of netting to prevent
their ingress is Of comparatively recent
origin, the invention of this much need
ed article dating back only 10 or 30
years
AS everybody knows, flies are e8cep-
tionally thick in farmhouses, even
where screens are used, and when they
are not they are almost intolerable. In
the olden days the method most COM
monty employed in the country to de-
stroy the troublesome fly was the use Of
such instruments as the one described
above The boards were beveled and
hung in such manner that by their
weight they separated at the bottom,
and thus hung in an inverted V shape.
To attract the flies they were smeared
with molasses ON the inner surface.
Thus prepared, they were suspended
in convenient places about the house
in kitchen, hallway, porch. which gen
orally served as the summer dining
place, and especially in pdssageways
1t was Il common duty of every member
of the household when r,ssing one of
those catchers to clap the boards togeth-
er, thus mashing the flies which had
collected thereon. The cook clapped
them in the kitchen, the hands as they
passed to and from the house at meal
times did likewise, the whole household
clapped them together hundreds Of times
a day, and thousands Of pestiferous flies
met their doom. Louis Republic.

SLATE PENCILS.
What They Are Composed of and How
They Are Made.

What They Are Composed of and How
They Are Made.
Slate pencils undergo number Of
processes before they are ready for USE
and in making them nearly all Of the
manual labor is done by boys. First
broken pieces Of slate are put into a
mortar run by steam and are crushed to
a powder, which is then bolted in a ma
chine such as is used in Touring mills.
A fine slate flour results, which is thor
oughly mixed in a large tub with stea-
tite -four and other materials, the whole
making a stiff dough. The dough is
neaded by being passed between iron
rollers number of times, and it is then
taken to table, where it is made into
short cylinders four or five inches in
thickness and containing from eight to
ten pounds of material each
-Four Of these cylinders are placed in
q strong iron resort which has a change
able nozzle so that the size Of the pen
ellis may be regulated. In the retort the
material is subjected to great hydraulic
pressure and is thus pushed through the
nozzle in the shape of long cord. AS
the cord comes through the nozzle it
passes over a knife and is cut into the
desired lengths. The lengths are laid
on boards to dry and are then placed ON
sheets of corrugated zinc, ,the corrugation
preventing the pencils from warping
during the baking process. The baking
is done in a kiln into which superheat-
ed steam is introduced through pipes.
The pencils go from the kiln to the
finishing and packing room, where the
ends are held for an instant under a
rapidly revolving emery wheel, which
neatly points them.
Finally they are packed in pasteboard
boxes, 100 pencils in each box, then 10C
Of the pasteboard boxes are packed in q
wooden box, and they are ready fol

THE NAVAL CHAPLAIN.
His Official Station and Duties In Time Of
Battle.

His Official Station and Duties In Time OF
Battle.
The chaplain S official station in most
ship ceremonies and in time of battle is
at the sick bay, where lie the sick. Dis
Cipline and fresh air are wonderful pre-
servatives of health, and a chaplain's
duties to the sick in times of peace are
very light. At naval hospitals, however,
whittier are brought from the ships the
very sick and the seriously wounded, a
chaplain finds ample field for the exer-
else of that tender sympathy which
wins souls to God and for the minister
ing Of the consultations of religion. 1t is
also the duty of the chaplain to assist
at naval burials. The regulations re-
Quire that Christian burial be provided
for all men who die in the service. If
possible the body is inferred with the
rites Of the church to which the deceas-
ed had belonged. When this sad duty is
required at sea, the ship is hove to, the
flag displayed at half mast and the Off
GERS and men are mustered on deck to
pay their last tribute to the departed.
The funeral services follow, and the
body is then consigned to the deep A
guard of honor fires three volleys over
the watery grave and the bugler sounds
the last 'taps"-sad, mournful notes of
the bugle which tell of the hour Of
sleep If the death occur at a hospital,
an escort and a guard of honor from the
ship to which the deceased had been at
tached accompany the funeral cortege
to the grave AS the procession enters
the cemetery the bugler precedes, fol-
lowed by the chaplain. This spectacle
is always impressive. It naturally sug-
gests the prayer that angels, led by the
angel guardian, may bear the soul of
the deceased before the throne of God
as friends bear the body to the grave;
that the angel at the Judgment seat
may proclaim welcome, joy and glad
ness as the bugler at the grave recalls
loss, sadness and regret.-Donahoe 8

Writes Letters 70 T1imself.

John Beckwith, the warehouseman,
received a letter the other day address,
ed in a round business hand and bearing
the Oakland postmark. He glanced at
it, rubbed his forehead rehectively a
moment and then, without opening the
envelope, tore it into bits.
"Why did you do that?'' asked his
partner. THAT might have contained
something of Importance.
"No, it didn't. wrote it myself"
''Are you in the habit Of writing let
ters to yourself?''
"Yes, l have to. Now, If 1 hadn't
written that yesterday and mailed it
would have forgotten that bunch of
braid, two dozen pearl buttons and five
yards of haircloth that l have got to go
down town and buy right now. Once,
though, Iwrote letter to myself about

The Decline of Man.

There seems to be some uncertainty as
to the size of our great mother. The
French orientalist, Henrion, member of
the academy, however, fixed it with a
precision satisfactory at least to him
self. He gives the following table of
the relative heights of several eminent
historical personages:
Adam was precisely 1913 feet inches
high
Eve was precisely 118 feet 9. rs inches
high
Noah was precisely lO3 feet high.
Abraham was precisely % feet high.
Moses was precisely l3 feet high.
Hercules was precisely feet high.
Alexander was precisely feet high.

Uncle Mates Break.

One of our neighbors, Uncle Nate, as
we call him, was greatly bothered by a
whippOrwill that came nearly every
night and sat on a rock in his back yard
and sang his love song, or whatever it
Is, until Uncle Nate was nearly wild.
One night he lay awake, and, as he
said, stood it just as long as he could,
when he got up and, taking down the
old gun that was loaded with a fox
charge he went to the back door, and,
drawing Il bead Oh the rock which he
could dimly see in the faint starlight,
blazed away. Then, i'll the pleasing
consciousness Of a good deed well done,
he again sought his couch.
In the morning his first care was to
reload the old gun, as there was no tell
ing when it would be needed. After
this task was finished he started for the
back yard to gloat over the mangled re-
mains of his tormentor, but what were
his horror and disgust to find that in
stead of holding ON the rock he had
completely riddled his wife's best wash
tub, which was turned bottom up about
four feet from the rock.
The disappointment was bad enough,
but when Aunt Hannah came out and
saw the ruin, Uncle Nate afterward de-
clared. it was worse than the whippoor-
will, and he made break for the barn,
his usual haven of refuge in such cases.
