bell Of a new shape, which is said to
have very deep tone and to lie rs pow

the form atpresent in vogue. The shape
is peculiar, being hemispherfeal, while
the metal is uniform i'll thickness cx-
cept near the "serMd bow" Tor the

From the edge to some little distance

NAVY OFFICERS LIFE
Not as Easy and Luxurious as It Appears.

The duties Of the various officers Of
the United States Navy are much more
eNacting and complex than the layman
would, at first thought, recognize. IN
reference to the active service depart
ment the 'land-lubber' is prone to
think that the captain. for instance.
has but little to do; that the enlisted
men do everything for HIM The fact
is, however, that. although his subor-
dinates may perform the more tangible
manual operations, still they do not re-
lieve him of his hardest task. They
cannot think and plan for him These
things the captain must do for himself
when unattached to a fleet or squadron
and the work of a coal passer often
tunes is play beside the mental strain
TO which commanding officer is put
when crisis is at hand.
Each officer of a commissioned vessel
has his own individual thinking to do
too. The vast amount of mental man
euvering that must be done when a
critical moment, such as the sudden
appearance of an enemy's battle shin
already cleared for action, is much too
great for any one man to do. Each
man has his especial part to take. and
upon the lowest ranking officers faith
ful and prompt carrying out of his
duties may depend the outcome of the
impending conflict. The mental picture
OF the ships captain walking idly
about on the bridge or smoking
long perfecto in the rich splendor of his
private apartments often appeals to the
uhihltiated as being that of a berth
with many perquiSites and few re-
qulsites alone attaining the desired
emoluments.
IN such mammoth and wonderful
mechanical continuance as moda.,
warship there is an enormous amo,nr
OF brain calculation involved. and Is
pecialiy in times of war the officers of
the snip have not the sinecures which
they are tabled to enjoy. The com
Hlahdihg officer. for instance. has
ihuch more to do than to simply give
'ie order to set sail for his desired goal
ana then calmly sit down in luxury
ana await his arrival at his destina-
'ioh. The fact that naval warfare is
even more complex than land opera
'r'iis is seen from the fact that the
average OF officers in the navy will
outhufnber those of the army. Even
me ordinary seamen are sort of officers
hey each have themselves to COM
mand in their individual duties even If
thefe is no one subordinate to their
immediate orders. The pr'vates in the
army act in body and MANY a man
STANDS between them and command
