"BELLS" ON BOARD SHIP.
How the sailOrmen Keep Track Of
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
eight bells. and all's WELL" and the
reader wonders why he calls them
eight bells" instead of the hour. There
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 at midnight,
is divided into watches of four hours,
except the watch from four TO eight
o'clock p. M, which is divided into two
dog watches. A full watch thus con-
sists of eight half hours and it's prog
ress is noted by the number of strokes
on the bell. For instance beginning Il t
midnight, the end of a 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,
three O'Clock is six bells, four o'clock is
eight bells again, and so on.
The bells, except the odd bells, are
struck in pairs, thus: Three bells are
struck clang-clang, c!ang. Four bells
are struck clang-clang, c:ang-ciang.
1t is Il 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 ali over the ship.

THE ARMY OFFICERS TRUNK.
1t Is Made More Especially for Use in
Times of Pence. But IL Brought
to Notice Now.

The army officers trunk, which is
an article of limited but regular sale in
peace times, being sold chiefly TO reg
ular army officers. is a stout, welI-maGe
trunk Of rather generous proportions,
SO divided inside as TO afford spaces for
both military and civilian attire. There
is place for an officers chapeau and
one for the silk hat OF civilian and
room for the different clothing, and the
trunk is large enough to admit a
sword laid diagonaIly. A trunk of this
sort is made. not of sole leather, as
might be supposed. to Withstand rough
wear, but with a rigid frame, so that
it can be roped or strapped onto load
or packed with other things piled on it.,
in the exigencies Of wagon or other
transportation, without being crushed
or damaged.
The army trunk is brought to the
front now on account of the war. 1t is
not expected, however, that in active
operations, when transportation is COM
paratively limited. all officers will take
trunks of such bulk, but rather that
their use at such time will be confined
to field officers.

TO WIPE OUT TIE GnEENDACKs

Gradually the great conspiracy is
being untolded. The success of one
measure only develops another for
the enslavement and suhjugation of
the people. The conspirat ors have
succeeded i'll fastening an additional
and unne cessary bonded debt OF
$500, 000r00 upon the nation, practi-
cally relieving the rich of taxation
and burdening the people with addi-
tiOnal interest.
1t is but the evolution Of deep
laid scheme to fasten the gold stand
ard upon us, to estab lish imperialism,
and to fix the money question beyond
the reach nf the people. 1t means
that the money function shall be
taken from the government and
placed i'll the hands Of the bankers,
that bonds shall be issued upon the
slightest excuse, and that national
bank currency shall be issued in
place Of greenbacks or treasury
notes. In fact, it means the country
shall be given over to the tender
mercies and the sweet will of the
money changers and syndicate shy
locks, that their schemes and con-
scien celess greed may have full and
complete command of the finances of
the republic.
Now that the bon Is are secured,
the next step in the program is to
take all government paper out of cir
culation and substitute national bank
bills. This currency will not be
legal tender, but simply bank cur
rency, issued by the banks in such an
amount us they choose To let the peo-
pie have-more or less, as it best
pays the BANKS. 1t is to be an elastic
currency, with the elasticity all on
the side of the bankers. The people
are to be stretch ID, and The b,ukers
will take up the slack. That's the
way it will work.
The bill now before Congress,
known rs che general banking and
currency bill," since the passage of
the bond act has sprung into new life.
1t is announced that about 40 meln
bers have signed Il canvass, and that
all the New England members, save
Massachusetts and Mainc, are solid
for it. The bill was reported III the
House on Wednesday last.-National

The Four-Inch Navy Gun.

The main batteries Of all tho gun
boats i'll the navy are ma le W Of
four-inch rapid-fire rifles, which are
altogether the most popular weapons
in the service for offensive and defen-
sive purposes ON the lighter vessels.
The Castine, the Helena. the Ma
chias, the Nashville and the Whining
ton are each equipped with eight of
these guns, while the Annapolis, the
Marietta, the Newport, the Prince
ton, the Vicksburg and the Wheel
ing each mount six Of them. The
Bancroft relies upon four, and the
Dolphin upon two as their chief
fighting powers. Even the formid-
able Iowa has six Of them upon her
superstructure TO deter the approach
Of torpedo boats, and the armored
cruiser New York mounts twelve in
her secondary battery. The fastest
two vessels in the navy, the Columbia
and the Minneapolis, have eight
apiece, and the double-turret moni.
tor Puritan is provided with six to
support her four twele.inch mon
sters. The chief advantage ,Df these
guns lies i'll their extreme rapidity Of
fir, and ease of manipulation, while
their penetrating power at all ranges
enables their projcct,les to pierce
easily all unarmorcd cruisers and
lightly protected gun positions. .n

North Branch Parasites.

The North Branch parasite which kicked
up such a veritable furore last summer by
destroying everything in the fish line in
that river, has not it seems, as yet been
properly classified. DR.. Ivon W. Parks of
this city has in all probability given the
"Argulus foliaceuS" more thought and
study than any other person.
Lucid descriptions of the creature from
the doctor, to some OF the specialists ON
this matter, have not allowed their settling
in their own minds just how it should be
classified. While this mystical and trouble
some member OF the louse kingdom, for
such he undoubtedly is, when the Greek,
Latin and German is laid aside, has caused
deal of worriment in this city and vicin-
ity, 1T is something of source of consolation
to know that Montpelier has in DR.. Parks
man of such indomitable ambition to
ascertain as to the possibilities of the crea-
tures destructiveness, origin, habits, etc.
The fact that that gentleman has, in
considerable measure, accomplished this,
will not lessen the ravages OF the parasite
another season, perhaps, although the infor-
nation given will result in setting at rest,to
a material extent, the minds of some who
thought that the world was coming to
sudden end, when almost simultaneous with
the beginning Of the war with Spain, this
torment of the water opened war on the
fish tribe with destructiveness that al
most paralleled that of Dewey at Manila
Bay.
L
action will be taken regarding this partc-
ular matter, but it is evident that Mr.. Tit
comb of this State, when he sent specimens
of the fish killed by the parasite to Phila-
delphia for analysis had in mind something
regarding the possibilities of controlling the
parasite. The pest is a new conner and
whether he will decide to tarry with us an
other season or not is not known.
For the State to lake some action that
would be reasonable and would keep him
out OF the trout streams and the fish hatch
cries would seem to be sensible. There is
something interesting in the two subjoined
letter from DR., Duncan of the Ontario Vet
rinary college at Toronto.
TORONTO Oct 10, 1898.
Dear Sir:-The parasites you found are
undoubtedly the "Argulus foliaceus" often
spoken of as fish lice, the order itself be-
ing called Epzoa or (Ectozoa) by some
writer's. The Argulus lives on the blood
plasms drawn from the fish, generally
! from the gills) and it may attack different
| species. 1t (Argulus) is capable of living
! independently of its host for a week or ten
| days after it has filed its self with blood.
! The "Argulus" seems TO prefer to have an
| independent exstance except when
hungry. 1t has fiat body, oval in outline,
| four pairs of two branched swimming legs,
besides the head and mouth parts, two
large suckers for holding by two eyes and
a poison gland Standard National History.
These parasites are not supposed to kill
their hosts, but your interesting expert
ments seem to prove that they may do SO.

corded where they have caused death.)
