In manning the batteries ON vessel
Of war twelve men are allotted to every
gun with the exception of the ten,
twelve and thirteen inch, mounted in
tmrets. In the latter case, the guns
being mounted in pairs. twelve men
are divided between them. Each man
has certain duty to perform, and, un-
der the thorough system of drilling in
the United States Navy, he i generally
letter-perfect in his work. The six men
of the thirteen-inch crew are designated
a follows: captain, first plugman and
sponger, lfman, return-lever man,
trainer.
The duty of the captain is TO exercise
a general supervision over the crew and
to handle the hydraulic rammer. The
first plugman and sponger has his sta
ton at the rear end OF the plug plat
form, and the second plugman and
sponger at the front end of the plug
platform. BY the plug is meant the
piece OF steel used to close the brcech.
The liftmau attends to the lft-lever,
the return-lever man TO the return-levcr
and the trainer turns his attention to
the lever controlling the hydraulic
training gear. In drill and in action
everything runs like clockwork, each
man seeming a component part of an
intricate piece of mechanism.
The great guns are aimed by means
of grange finders" -lnstruments in.
vented by naval officers for the purpose
of divining the range of an enemy. One
used to considerable extent in the SER
vice consists of two telescopes, placed
one at each end of base line (some
measured length of the vesseD. These
telescopes are directed upon the target,

A MAGNIFICENT INSTITUTION,
st. Mary'S Hospital, Duluth, IL Now
Open to the Public.


Open to the Public.
Thursday evening, Feb. 8, the new St.
Mary's hospital at Duluth, conducted
by the Benedictine Sisters, was throw II
open to the public for inspection, and a
reception WIS held which was largely
attended. The broad Railways wcr:,
packed at times almost to suffoca,ion
and even the numerous rooms, the huge
elevator and the back stairs were so
inadequate to accommodate the crowd
that movements here and there were not
at all FREQ and easy.
Tho new structure is second to none
in the country, and it eXcels the hosri-
tails in most of the cities four times
the size of Duluth. 1t is the ninth build
ing of the kind for the architect who
designed it and comes about as close
to perfection as possible. 1t has every
appointment and arrangement known
to modern hospital experts and the -
terror reminds one more of a first-class
hotel than a grim place for the sick and
injured.
The new hospital is located on the
upper side of Third street and on the
west side of Third avenue east With
the roof there are five stories. The los
cation is one that commands an unex-
celled view of the lake, harbor and che
scenery for miles. That alone is suf-
flcient to put health and strength into
an ordinary man.
1t is impossible in limited space to
do justice to the interior features. The
floors are hardwood. done in OIL The
woodwork is hard pine finished in oil
and shelac The walls are hard finish
