No ofliciaI revelations in regard to
the battle ship Maine has been male
since our last issue.
Call<fng the Hatches.
When the loading of a ship has been
completed and the matches have been
put on, every precaution is taken to
make them tight, so as to keep the car
go dry during the voyage. The hatch
es are in sections, which rest on frames
laid across the hatchway. All the
seams around the coamings of the
hatchway and between the sections of
the hatch are calked and then pitched
or painted, and the entire hatch is
then covered with tarpaulins, which
are battened down at the sides. The
ship may be months at sea. She may
tave over her bows solid water taai
will sweep aft, submerging her decks
like river, and she is likely to have
more or less water on deck at any time,
But none of it gets below. The ships
matches are as impervious to water as
her sides.
On steamers when the matches are
put on they rest upon strips of rubber,
and they are secured by means of set
screws, making the hatch tight in SUBJ
stantially the same manner that a fruit
jar is sealed.

and as such it is not liable. to any form of
disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action of
the kidneys. The second way is from
careltss local treatment of other diseases.
