"BELLs" ON BOARD SHIP.
the Time of Day without
Having Clocks.

Everyone who has read stories Of the
sea has wondered why sailors keep time
by bells" instead of by hours. The
''sad sea dog" of the tale says: Its
aight bells, and all's WE'LL" and the
reader wonders why he calls them
"eight t bells" inst ead of the hour. Thu ere
are people who think "eight bells is
eight o'clock, and so with al the hours
told off by bells.
at sea bell" is equivalent to o'clock
on shore. A bell is struck every half
hour. The day, beginning al midnight,
is divided into watches of four hours,
except the watch from four 10 eight
o'clock p. M, which is divided into two
dog watches. A full watch thus con-
sists of eight half hours and its prog
ress is noted by the number of strokes
on the bell. For instance ,beginning at
midnight, the end of watch, the bell
is struck eight times; half past IL is one
bell. one O'Clock is two bells, / 80 O'Clock;
is three bells, two o'clock is four bells,
eight bells again, and so on.
The bells, except the odd bells, are
struck in pairs, thus: Three bells are
struck clang-clang, clang. Four bells
are struck clang-clang, ciang-clang.
1t is pleasant diversion on ship
board to hear the officer Of the watch
strike the bells on the bridge and to
hear them answered by the bells in the
fo'c'sle, and all over the ship.

THE PURITAN,
she Ii without Doubt the Finest
Fighter In the Navy, Her Men
and Officers All Agree.

One of the warrant officers of the
United States monitor Puritan, which
is with the blockading squadron off
Cuba, gives in letter to friend in this
city some interesting observations on
the Puritan's work, says the New York
Sun.
1--WE are all convinced" he writes,
"that the Puritan, under the proper cir
cumstances, is the finest fighting boat
in the navy; but she has her restric-
tions. There is no question about the
high defensive qualities of the moni-
tor type for harbor work. Our low free
board makes US a small target for the
enemy, and our 12-inch guns make US
very dangerous TO an enemy. Capt
Harrington and Lieutenant Commander
j. Russell Selfridge have worked our
crew into fine condition, and there is
no question as to the loyalty of the men
or their skill with the big guns. Our
low reeboard, however, precludes any
possibility of our coaling at sea with
safety, and as our coal capacity Is COM
paratirely small. unless lee is af-
forded, so that the monitor may open up
her deck scutues with safety, we must
return to coaling station. Such was
the case off Matanzas. where there is
an open sea to windward and no protec-
ton. The Puritan did good work at
Matanzas, as you probably know. aud
our guns were very effective. notice
that some of the newspapers comment.
ed on the fact that our fire was slow
This was according to orders TO prevent
waste of ammunition. We didn't want
the gun captains to throw away shots
carelessly in their first brush. Every
thing on board moved like clockwork,
and our men behaved splendidly."

JUNE FIFTEENTH
The Date Fixed for the Republican
County Convention.

County Convention.
The Repu ublican County Central Com
mittee met at the Court House at II
o'clock Monday morning for the pur
pose, as stated ia the call, of providing
for the selection of delegates to the ju
dicial and State conventions and of fix
ing the date for the County conven
tion. When the meeting was called to
order there were not enough memb bers
present to constitute quorum and an
adjournment was taken until after
dinner. When the committee reas-
sembled the required quorum was
present and the business for which the
committee was called together was
taken up without delay. After long
discussion it was decided to call pri-
maries for June, 11th, to select dele
gates to the State, Judicial and County
Conventions. The date of the county
convention was fixed for June 18th.
Some complaint will probably be
made of the short notice given and also
of the inconvenience of throwing a
number of precincts together in order
to elect delegates to State and Judicial
conventions, but the nsture Of the reso-
luton passed last summer made it alb
solutely impossible for the committee
to take any other course. The official
call for the primaries and convention
will appear later.

HOUSE BILL NO. 5.
To Protect Sturgeon In The Columbia
Rivera Diversity of OpIuiOn
AS to Its Contents.

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature by Curtis which is of especial
interest to fishermen along the Coium bia
river. Its object is the protection OF
sturgeon in said waters. For some time
this industry has been followed by many
with fair results. However, this seasons
catch is proving that unless some action
is taken to protect the young sturgeon,
the species will become extinct in the
waters of the Columbia.
This morning communication was
received from Representative Roberts
saying that the bill had passed the
second reading and that the committee
would report faVorably on its passage
this morning. lis final consideration
will, however, he postponed until Satur-
day, and in the meantime Mr.. Roberts
desires to hear from those whom the
bill will most effect, that he may act
for their best interests in the matter.
Following is the contents of the docu-
ment in question:
Section 1 Hereafter it shall not be
lawful for any person or persons to take,
ca apture, kill, or have In their possession,
after the same has been taken, captured
or killed, any sturgeon between the first
day OF March and the first day of No.
yember in each and every year, under q
penalty of twenty dollars for each and
every sturgeon SO taken, captured, killed
or had unlawfully.
Section 2. It shall not be lawful al
any time to take or kill any younS
sturgeon under four feet in length, OF
fish for the same by any device or ap
pliance whatever in the waters of the
Columbia river; and any person or per
sons fishing with gill nets, fsh-nets
fish wheels or other fishing apparatus
whatever in the waters of the Columbis
river, who, on lifting, drawing, taking
up or removing any of said nets, or othe
fishing apparatus, shall find young stur
geon under four feet in length entanglec
or caught therein, shall Immediately

sion young sturgeon under four feet IN
length, either for consumption or sale,
or who is known to wilfully destroy the
same, for so offending shall, on convic-
ton thereof, be punished with fine
OF ten dollars for each and every fish
SO caught, sold or destroyed.
Section 8. 1t shall be unlawful TO
cast. extend, set, use. or continue, or
aesIst in casting, extending or using any
Chinese sturgeon lines, or lines of
similar character, in the waters of the
Columbia river The fish commissioner
and any of his deputies are hereby
authorized to arrest forthwith any per-
son or persons detected in setting or
using any Chinese sturgeon lines, or
lines of similar character, in the waters
OF the Columbia river. Any person
violating any of the provisions OF this
section ehall be fined in. sum not less
than twenty-five dollars and not more
than one hundred dollars.
Section 4. Inasmuch as there is ur-
gent need for the protection OF sturgeon
as provided by this act, the same shall
take effect and be in force from and
after its approval by the governor.
There seems to be q diversity OF
opinion among fishermen as to the con-
tents of the bill. Some question the
advisibility of allowing section to be
included, asserting that if such section
pass, there will be no need of the re-
mainder of the bill being considered, as
fishing for sturgeon will, of necessity
cease. Indeed, all concur in this belief,
saving that no other method save that
of the Chinese geer will warrant them
in fishing at all, as before this means
was employed the industry was prac-
tically unknown. However, many con-
slider that. in view of the fact that these
lines cannot be used without catching
the young sturgeon, and thus are
menace to the industry, they should bt
prohibited at least for time.
The so-called Chinese lines are those
which are go constructed that from The
main line, which is upheld by floats, ex
tend a number of lines, on the end o
which are large hooks. These drag th'
bottom of the river, and the sturgeon
as they attempt to pass are entrapped
Thus it is impossible TO prevent tn
"small fry" from being caught with th
larger ones; and when once they en-
counter the hook they are generally 8
badly lacerated that though they ar
afterward extricated and thrown back
they cannot live.
