SHE REMOVED HER BONNET.
Unused to City Ways, But She Appre-
ciated the Humor.

1t was during one of the most severe snow
storms which Chicago has experienced this
winter, and the umbrella which little bit
of a woman was carrying in front of her
face, standard-bearer fashion, came into
clinging contact with the smart bonnet
which was balanced on the head of the
comely Irishwoman-' who vas making her
way, burdened with heavy valise, in the
opposite direction.
Tourist. In town for the day only"
might have been posted upon her, so unms-
takably did she belong to this class of Wis
itors: second glance betrayed the fact that
she was undoubtedly crossing the city from
one depot to another.
When the umbrella caught in her bonnet,
which was anchored to position by its velvet
strings alone the bonnet was worsted in
the struggle. The little woman sailed on
VIGOROUSLY, hardly stopping for the con-
ventional word of apology, and the out of
town woman was left lamenting, her bonnet
hanging around her neck by the strings and
the thickly falling snow powdering her
glossy black hair. But not for-long did she
lament.
Sure" she said. merrily, as she lowered
her great satchel to a convenient doorstep
and prepared to right her illtreated head
gear again, 'Oi've been hearing for some
tonne that they made Their women take off
their bunnits in public places in Chicago
but Oh niver supposed they did it fer them
in Their sthreets"

OUR YANKEE TARS.
American Sailors Have the Greatest
Record Fighters on
the Sea.

Oneof the first productions the Amer
American sailor, or, as he was affec-
tionately called, the Yankee tar" It
was a very small navy that was set
afloat by the revolted colonies in the
revolution to contend with the greatest
naval power in the world, but it made
a great record for sailing and fighting.
Our navy has already written brave
story on the pages of our history. In
face Of our own declarations to the con-
trary, we have always, when the emer-
gency came, had ready within the nee
essary period the ships and the sailors
1t has been our habit for a very long
time to assert our inferiority, but there.
has always been a stanch craft to carry.
the American flag to any point of the
earth's surface where honor or duty re-
CURED it to go, and to keep it flying in
honor after it got there.
The United States has great inland
population, dwelling remote from the:
ocean and its commerce and it's life,
but the American is never landlubber
He takes to the sea on occasion wher-
ever he may have been reared, Just as in
war times he shows genius for the ar
tillery. In his country there are lakes
on which navies may perform their evo-
buttons, and rivers where steam fleets
may meet. On Lake Champlain the
Yankee tar kept up a fire which old
English sailors said they had seen
equaled only in Nelson's great fight at
Copenhagen.
It has been the popular belief that our
sailors We're recruited from foreign
countries, that the Yankee tar strictly
speaking, did not exist, but this is one
of the numerous mistakes we have
made about ourselves. It was in 1890
that the nativity of the sailors of the
American navy was enrolled. In April
of that year SO per cent. of the whole
enlisted force-7,516 men and appren-
tices--were described as American cit
liens. In 1896 Secretary Herbert re-
ported that 72 per cent. of the enlisted
men were American citizens and 50 per
cent. of the apprentices were natives of
the United States.
From these figures it will be seen that
the American navy is more American
than it ever was before. The future
navy is to be differed and manned from
the apprentices who are natives of our
soil. Every American sailor is the in,
heritor of glorious traditions. Every
generation of American sailors has
proved worthy of its predecessors

The AMERICAN COAST LINE.
1t Is Nearly 5000 Miles LonS-The
Work of Surveying 1t BEGUN
Unders JEFFERSON. 8 ~

In a message to congress in 1907
Thomas Jefferson, then president of the
United States, recommended the survey
ing of the Atlantic coast line of the
country with a view to its adequate de-
Tense and also to the establishment OF
guides and safeguards to navigation.
Congress adopted the recommendation
Of the president and made an appro-
priation of 900 for the purpose, the
direction Of the matter being put into
the hands Of the secretary of the treas
ury, at that time Albert Gallatin, who
communicated the views of the admins
tration to ''the scientific men of the
country in a circular distributed in
New York, Boston and Philadelphia
chiefly. The plan adopted was to ascer-
tain the positions of certain prominent
points on the Atlantic coast by astro-
nomical observations and to connect
these by trigonometrical lines.
The chief of the. coast survey was a
native of Switzerland, and the work
went on under his direction with occa-
sional interruptions caused by changes
of administra alton until 1913, when he
died. The work at that time had been
finished from Point Judith. opposite
Block Island, to Cape Henlopen, in Della
ware. Since then the work has been
prosecuted actively, but meanwhile it
has been increased. particularly since
the concession of territory on the Pacific
from Mexico. This coast line Of the
country is now, according to the report
just completed, nearly 5000 miles, the
land frontage of the country on the
Canada and on the Mexican border lines
being only 1850 miles. The details Of
the American coast'line areas follows:
5.715 miles, embracing'2,34 miles on the
atlantic ocean, 1856 on the Gulf Of
Mexico, and :1:slO enthe Pacific ocean.
1t is an established proposition
among authorities in naval warfare
that the naval strength of a government
would be proportional 10 its coastline.
The rule may be said to prevail pretty
generally, though Russia, which has
relatively small coast line on the Black
sea and on the Baltic. has large navy.
and Norway andSweden, which have an
enormous cOaStllnt, larger IN proper
ton than any other countries of Europe,
have very few warships. The coast line
Of the United States is really as nearly
Ions. as the distance<from a ew orl1 to
Liverpool and return blythe ordinary
course of steamship travel, and its pro-
lection against any possible attack has
of recent years secured more attention
struction or more practically the con-
struction of the present American navy.
