What are the duties and rank of an en-
sign in the United States navy? Is the title
of ensign applied to any officer of the land
forces of our army?-P. L. w.
An ensign's duties are those of a junior
deck or watch officer; he may be an aid to
an admiral or commodore, and may COM
mand small boat, as in this war. He
ranks as a second lieutenant in the army.
The title of ensign for an officer on land
does not exist in our army. In Great Brit
ain, where the junior lieutenants of regi-
ment carry the colors, we think they are
still called ensigns, though unofficially, the
rank having been abolished in 1871.
Was Sampson of higher rank than Dewey
IN the navy prior to May l? 2. Give a list
of the prominent naval officers from com
modore up, inclusive. 3. Was the law Gre
ating the office of vice admiral and admiral
repealed?-W. N.
No; he was nine places behind him on the
seniority list of the navy. 2. The rear adj
mirals on the active list are: W. A. Kirk
land, Joseph N. Miller. Montgomery Sicard,
Edwin 0. Matthews, c. S. Norton, Francis
M Bunce and George Dewey. The commo-
dores on the active list are: F. ". McNair,
John A. Howell, Fl. l.. Howison, Albert
kautz, g. G. Remey, n. c. Farquhar, John
c. Watson, H. B. Robson, W. s. Schlev
and Silas Casey. 3. No; the law creating
those ranks limited them to Farragut and
Porter, and Rowan, respectively; when
those officers died the ranks died also.
What was the sacrifice of Iphigenia Wv.
H B.
According to the story told by Homer. the
Greeks, when they had prepared their army
to invade Troy, We're hindered by con-
trary wind for a long time. A messenger
was sent to the oracle of Delphos who said
that the ships would be delayed until the
leader of the Greeks should sacrifice the
thing most dear to him. At last Agamem-
non made up his mind to sacrifice his daugh-
ter lphigenia. There are at least two YER
sions of the maidens fate; one that she
was actually sacrificed, the other that She
was taken away from the priest who was
about to slaughter her by the goddess Ar
tennis, who substituted hind in her place
The resemblance of the story to that of
Abraham and Isaac and to that of Jephtha
and his daughter is very noticeable

A DISASTROUS YEAR FOR NAVIGATION


The year that is drawing to close
has proved one of the most disastrous
in the entire history of navigation.
Many a staneh vessel has gone down
and many gallant sailors are mourned
in homes all over the world. The ill
fsted Bourgogne of course leads the
list. The loss of life resulting from
her collision with the Cromartyshire
stands almost without parallel IN mari
time annals. And as if the fog that
caused her destruction did not add
enough 10 the dangers OF the Sea. the
storms of this yesr have been of extra
ordinary violence and duration. Only
few weeks ago the steamer Mohegan
ran on the shore in the English Chan
mel and the loss of hundred lives was
reported. And during the recert
storm on the New England coast the
American eoastwise steamer Portland
fcnndsred in the open sea off Cape
Cod, carrying down with her one hun
dred and sixty souls. 1t is more than
probable that scores of New England
eoastiug vessels met destruction in the
storm, and the wives AID mothers of
Gloucester and Marblehead fishermen
are still scanning the sea kne anxiously
for first glimpse cf the top-sails of
the sehooners thst bear their sons and
husbands and sweethearts.

this kind have been suffered, there are
no people SO certain to make it known
as these Southern people. They will

are not time servers, and they did mol
