armorer stands ready to repair any
damage that may be made by the enc

cannon. A man with head line is
placed at the we'll and during the fight
will make frequent soundings to dis
cover if the vessel is injured below
the water line. The hose squad IS
placed in charge of the fire apparatus,
ready for instant service. Chemical
fire extinguishers are used on all the
United States warships now, and hand
grenades are placed in every quarter Oh
the ship. Every precaution is taken
to secure the instant stamping out Of

The Bull Doctor
Down in the sick bay the head sur
geon, or bull DOCTOR" has been di-
recting the laying out Of cots, instru-
ments and bandages. One hatchway,
as near amidships as possible, is al
ways left open for the passing down OF
wounded men. The surgeon may have
no call on his services, but the rule in
every quarter of battleship is, BE
prepared for the worst, and hope for
the best" When everything is ready
the officers move to their stations. If
the ship is a monitor the battle matches
are closed. and the men at last hear
the final command. for which they have
been impatiently waiting-"Action!"
At that moment, the doors of the mag
azine are opened, and the men who
form the different chains of scuttles
begin to pass the cartridge cases up
to the deck. The delivery of ammu
milton is in charge Of the gunner. In
modern naval fortunes the gunner is
not, as many landlubbers suppose, the
man who fires the cannon. He is a
warrant officer, and his position is a
most responsible one in time of action.

steady delivery of cartridges, shells

decided disapprobation of person,
and he was received with all honor.
She had said she would not enter the

she was compelled to remain away.
She had no influence-no command

That night no sleep, no rest came
to her. She was thinking hour after

saw no light in. the dark clouds, no
hope, no help-the years stretched out
dark and dreary, and she wept the

SOME THOUGHTLESS CRITICISM.
Commits ssioner Not Responsible for
HnIt Pavement Repairs.

Some thoughtless criticism has been
directed toward street Commissioner
Dunning because he has not directed
a continuation of the work of asphalt
pavement repairs. The work is neces-
sarily stopped on account of a mis-
understanding between the Barber
Asphalt company and City Controller
Robinson.
The city controller recently declined
to issue warrants for any work that
might be done in May until he was
assured by the city solicitor that the
contract with the company had not
expired. The Barber people claim that
their repair contract made last Novem-
Der provides for one year. On this
point the city controller awaits City
Solicitor McGinley's opinion.

Secretary Dolphin, showing a discrep-
ancy Of nearly five hundred dollars in
