SMOKING LAME" ON SHIP.
A Time Honored Custom Survives ON
British aud American War Vessels.


British aud American War Vessels.
One of the time-honored institutions
of the American and British navies is
the smoking lamp. without the smok-
ing lamp the modern sailorman would
be like a fish out of water. He would
mutiny. A failure of the galley cock
to light the smoking lamp without the
loss Of a seconds time after the word
has been given arouses Jacks temper,
and whatever limited stock of invec-
tives he is possessed of is made public
with promptitude and emphasis.
To landsmen the mention of a smok-
ing lamp has no more significance than
"A mention of the Jack-o-the-dust. But
both are a necessary part of the equip
ment of any warship. be IL first-rate or
fourth-rate. Upon the smoking lamp
the crew. including that mysterious adj
junct of the paymaster's department,
Jack-cf-the-dust. depend for a light for
their pipes. Jack-of-the-dust dives
down into the depths of the hold and
brings up the navy plug, which, being
cut into bits and crumbled between the
hands, is put into a pipe and fired at
the smoking lamp.
The need for the smoking lamp arises
from the necessity of guarding the ship
to the utmost from danger of fire. Pre-
cautions which seem ridiculous and un-
necessary to a landsman have been
fOund, by SAD experience. To De aDSO-
lutely necessary on board a ship of war.
The naval regulations provide evere
punishment for any seaman caught
with matches on his person. Could it
nave been proved by the Spanish board
of inquiry that the sailors of the Maine
had been guilty of carrying matches
about with them, they would have
been justified by naval experts the
world over in declaring that the de-
struction of the ain was due to the
carelessness and lack of discipline on
board.
Such was not the case, however. No
sailor of the Maine carried matches.
He lit his pipe at the smoking lamp,
and he only smoked during those times
that the smoking lamp was lit. He
never dared to go below decks with a
lighted pipe. If he had, Jimmy Legs
would have had him at the sticks and
the executive officer would have de-
prived him of shore leave for a month
at least.
The smoking lamp is constructed
upon the same lines as a lantern, but
the globe is made of sheet iron instead
of glass. In the side there is a small
round hole, through which Jack may
stick his pipe in order to catch the
flame. 1t is the duty of the ships cook
or one of his assistants to light the
lamp when the word is given by the
proper officer, who is generally the
chief boatswain's mate. He, in turn,
gets his orders from the officer of the
deck.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
