and good fortune win always operate in
the Navy and out of it to disarrange any
fixed scheme of measured advancement
But that the haphazard methods of pro
motion which Congress has imposed on the
Navy Department do entail hardships and
inequalities must be admitted by those
who have studied the effects of the
changes in rank ordered since the war be-
gan.
1t has been suggested that fairer dis
tribution of rewards might be devised
based on positive and absolute compensa-
tons for gallantry. An increase of 10 or
20 per cent in the pay of his grade might
be considered by an officer as compensa-
ton for the loss of the numbers now given
for distinguished performance of duty or
unusual heroism. Advancement in rank
is, of course, the dearest ambition of the
sailor or soldier, and should be the reward
bestowed on really exceptional merit.
But, in the main, violent disarrangement
of the seniority list, especially in its mid
way grades should be avoided as injudic-
ious and demoralizing 1t is evident that
Congress should do something at its next
session to liberalize and reform the present
system of naval promotions. Y. 1ri6-

WAYS OF THE BLUE CRAB.
Some of Its Peculiarities as Observed at
New York's Aquarium.

Some of Its Peculiarities Observed at
New York's Aquarium.
While the blue crab is not commonly
thought Of as swimmer and does in
fact spend the greater part of its time
ON the bottom, yet it can very easily
sustain itself in the water and swim at
a very fair rate Of speed. 1t swims end
wise, and when swimming it carries
one big claw thrown forward and bent
back at the middle joint, making a
point projecting at that end of the
body, while the other big claw trails
straight out astern. If it changes direc-
ton, it crooks the claw it had been car
rying straight and let's the other go
free If it sustains itself in the water
without progressing, it carries it's big
claws in front Of itself as it would nat
urally do under ordinary circumstances
ON the bottom, but it has to keep it's
little claws in motion to sustain itself,
and in swimming the little claws are
kept actively at work. Besides making
a good degree of progress through the
water in swimming the blue crab can
change its course or swim to a higher
OF lower level with facility. When
frightened, the blue crab moves off side
ways, but when moving about at home
and undisturbed it may move straight
forward. Its body may be inclined at
any angle to the line of progress, but
its motion still be forward, the big
claws carried crooked around in front.
1t may be seen moving thus in one of
the larger tanks at the aquarium, in
which there are blue crabs, Holsters and
other things. The temperature of the
water now just suits the crustaceans
and they are very lively. Blue crabs
may be seen swimming here, and also
walking about stepping down from
stones that are as high as they them
selves are wide with perfect dignity, if
not grace of manner, and walking or
carrying their claws before them

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

Much dissatisfaction has been expressed
both within and without the Navy, at the
so called leap frog" method followed in
parcelling out promotions for distinguish
ed service during the war with Spain
The complaints which have been made
involve, of course, no criticism of the De
partment's Judgment in the selection OF
particular officers for advancement; for
certainly no one will impugn the liberal
and impartial spirit in which the Govern
ment has sought to show its appreciation
of conspicuous conduct in battle or ex-
traordinary heroism" 1t is the system of
naval law under which promotions for
gallantry must be made which is assailed
as the real cause of so many chagrins and
heart burnings; and there are many facts
which seem to sustain the indictment
vancement that in its operation it is
marked by caprice, inequality and hard
ship
The chief vice of the existing system is
tive rewards 1t provides for the promo
ton of officers gazetted for exceptional
merit by the practical retardation in rank
and pay of their less fortunate associates
Advancement on the list in any grade may
be neutralized, moreover by subsequent
promotions from below, so that for the
same display of professional skill and per
sonal bravery one officer may eventually
receive only half the increase in rank
achieved by a no more deserving compan-
ion.
Besides introducing an element Of inc
quality and pure caprice into the problem
of rewarding deserving officers, the pres
ent system encourages an injurious stag
nation in certain higher grades. For if as
in the case of Rear Admirals Sampson and
Schley, advancement carries a gazetted
officer to rank in which there is already
full legal complement no further promo
tions by seniority can be made until retire
ments reduce the complement of that
grade to the legal limit We cannot sym
pathize with the extreme view. expressed
in certain quarters, that an unhampered
promotion to that rank and pay to which
he might attain by the natural operations
of seniority is the due of every naval Off
GER The laws of competition and selec-
ton cannot be wholly set aside in any
field of human activity, and opportunity

to understand that his freedom of action
must be subordinated to military neces-

rebel, but when once whipped into line
he makes the best soldier on earth.

friend and the friend Of my family from
my boyhood up. We had hunted and

changed secrets with a freedom that
does not obtain among brothers. One
