THE SHIPS RuDDER.

Its Two Parts and the Difference Tn tho
 Strain That Comes Upon Them.
 The rudder of wooden ship Is com. which are so joined together as to form: in effect single piece. The complete rudder is coppered, to protect it from worms, and then, besides being practf. cally all in one piece, it has that ap- pearance also.
 The stalk is tho part to which are att taohed the pintles or pivots, by which tho rudder is suspended and held in place, these going through eyes set in the ships sternpost. The stalk runs up through the stern of the ship, and Go its head is bolted cap to which are at- tached the ropes by means of which the rudder is controlled. The backing is the blade part of the rudder.
 By far the greater strain comes on the stalk, and the greatest strain of nll comes OH the head of the stalk, the rudder head. where it is held Tho stalk is made of the wood most likely to stand the strain, carefully selected. sound well seasoned oak, while tho backing is made of spruce or hard pine. The stalk is of single, solid, massive piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed of the dimensions of small oak, something that man can pin his faith to. if he can have faith in any wood. while the backing or blade is, like many modern wooden masts, built. up. It would be difficult if not impossible to find trees that would yield blanks pig enough for the purpose in single piece, and the built up backing, made of pieces of selected wood, eau easily b6 made of ample strength to withstand any strain that will be brought upon t.
 As to the stalk, stout and solid as the oak may be, the head may be twisted by the force of tremendous blow from a wave upon the rudder, or, under tne repeated strains of long use, the heao may split, and so mako the stalk use. less. Then the rudder is taken out and fitted with new stalk. A suitable stlok Is selected and worked down to the proper size and form, and very probably the old backing Is attached to 1t. The l life of rudder ctalk would probably | be 12 to 14 years. The backing might last as long As the nhin --Nsw Xosh Sun,

THE CAR WAS SWITCHING.
But 1t Caused the Despair of a Sleepy
 Lecturer In Search of Rest.

Lecturer In Search of Rest.
 ..I have long made it practice to sleep whenever get an opportunity, " said man who lectures, "but a recent experience in Baltimore has made mo shy of opportunities. You see. spend 2 great deal of time on railroad trains, and frequently, in order to keep engage. ments, am forced to travel at night Now. have great difficulty i'll getting asleep on a sleeping car, and sometimes toss around all night
 'sLast week lectrred in Baltimore, and after the lecture found sleeping car in the railroad yard which was to be added to the train bound for New York. That was my opportunity. l bought section, hunted up the porter and asked him if I might retire with the expectation of not being aroused be. fore morning.
 "'That's what tho car is here for, colonel, he answered. We don't pull out till 1 80 in the morning. and you can just go right to sleep
 "That sounded inviting, and retir. cd. fell asleep promptly. The move ment of the car aroused me. and, think ing that we had been coupled on to the New York train, closed my eyes again. At that moment the car ran into some. thing on the track with crash and stopped so suddenly that my head waa bumped against the end of the berth. Undoubtedly smash up, thought, and proceeded to get out of my berth. Ths porter was sitting in the seat opposite.
 "'For heavens sake, what is the trouble?' asked.
 Nothin, he replied; just switch. in'
 .Back I erawled, feeling very cheap. Again felt drowsy, and once moro the car was bumped violently then showed along the tracks at rapid rate and shunted into the end of another train, starting series of crashes that sounded one after another clear away up the track. The quiet that followed lasted so long that l began to doze Another bump harder than the previous ones aroused me, and for the next five min- utes it seemed as if two engines must be engaged in sEunting my car back and forth for the fun of it. would feel the car slide along only to como to an abrupt stop with lot of noise. Then it would | slide back to another track and stand still. For the next hour l was tossed and bruised in my berth, and l could stand 1t no longer. crawled out and dressed as best could under the cir cumstances, made a flying jump from the car on one of it's shunting trips past the station and went to hotel and spent the night. The memory of that experience has made me cautious about entering sleeping cars that are loafing around the yard waiting to be coupled to train, even if it does seem to offer an opportunity to make up sleep. The amount of shaking up that one man re- oeives in car that is just switchin' | surprising. "-New York Sun,
