the knots on the line.
Another method in use is the patent
log. This is altogether mechanical. and
consists of a long cylinder with clock
work inside it, and four fins on the out
side: it is towed astern of the ship by a
line made fast to swivel in the head
of it. AS it is dragged through the
water the four fins make it revolve
actuating the clockwork inside which
registers on a series of dials the num-
Der of knots run. This log has to be
hauled in every time one wants to read
it. But there is another kind where
the fan is towed astern, and the dial is
a fixture in the ship. This is called Il
"cherub'
These logs are not always accurate.
and are constantly verified when near
land by cross bearings. That is, the
bearings of two well-knoWn points are
taken, and the position so obtained is
marked on the chart, the time Of ohser-
walton being noted and the reading on
the patent log.
After an interval has elapsed. the
position of the ship is again taken by
cross bearings. when the straight line
joining the two places of the chart will
show the direction of the course

THE TERRAPIN.
The Genuine Chesapeake Article Grow
ing Scarcer Year by Year.

Years ago the negro slaves of Maryland
raised their voices in loud complaint be-
cause their masters insisted upon serv-
ing them diamond-back 'terrapin twice a
week They would rather have pork,
they said.
Today, according to Inc most prominent
terra pin dealers in Bahtimore-and Balti-

real thing in other words. is a Million
aires dish and a dish which only a mill
lionaire can afford to have served upon
the table before him.
THE ferrapin season opened November
2. and the dealers say that the birds :
so sought after by connoiSseurs VIII be
scarcer than ever this season. Real
Chesapeake terrapns are very scarce.
Year by year they are dying out. in spite
of the establishing of artificial pounds,
and the time must come when the epi-
cure must content himself with some
ching almost as good, if it does not have
the brand of the genuine amond-back.

THE SPEED OF A SHIP.
The Use of the Logs-How it is
Measured and Description of the In

How do you ascertain the speed of

addressed to naval men, and an ex-
planation will therefore probably be Of
interest to many readers. There are
several methods, the commonest ami
most ancient being by the use of the
log. This inStrumalt consists of
three parts-the logship, the line and
the marks
The logship is piece of wood about
half an inch thick and shaped like a
quadrant. with a piece of lead let in
around the circular edge TO make it
foat perpendicularly in the water. 1t
is siunG by lines at each angle, the
three lines being joined together about
Z TWO feet from the logshin. Two of the
lines are securely fixed to the ship
and the other has bone peg at the
end, which. being pushed into a hole
IN the ship, temporarily fastens it
there
From the point of juncture of the
three lines sufficient length is meas
ured, generally about 100 feet, to take
