CONEY ISLANDS SLAIN.
The Aspect of "a Battlefield to BE Studied
on the Sand Near tho Waves.

He who would know the aspect OF a battlefield
after a fight need go no further than the end
OF the Bowery at Coney Island. On the broad
uudulating sands Of the almost deserted beach
lie ipanimate forms in picturesque attitudes.
Here is a man sprawling fiat on his face. his
arms stretched out and his toes dug into the
sand. In another place is one curled up on his
side with his mouth wide open. Sometimes
three or four max be found in a tangled heap.
Not all are PROSTATE, Against the posts
which support the guard ropes that run out
into the surf for the bathers are propped up
misshapen figures whom the sound OF the ris-
ing tide pounding, murmuring. and Kissing
along the beach does not disturb, When tho
moon comes up these uncanny black forms
mark the white sands for as great a space as
the eye can cover.
Up and down among them walk weary paced
men who swing clubs by thongs from their
nervous right hands. These are the ,watehmen
over the dead ones OF Coney Island. For the
men on the sands are dead, There Il nc, profit
IN them. They have drunk their NJ and have
yielded ny, all that was in their pockets, Else
they would not have been allowed to escape
from the rapacious midway TO the beach.
The wAtchmen are not there to prevent rob
hery. Everybody knows that u beach sleeper
IL NOT worth Tobblug. The watchman's duty Is
so SEQ that, awakening, the remorseful and
weary one does not walk out into the growing
hungry waves.

nearly any black material save Eng

cost quite as much as a jet-trimmed
coat of velvet The fall exhibit also
contains oddly fashioned long-skirted
models, with a Russian touch, English
walking coats in severest tailor trim,
and French styles, displaying many
smart and novel attractions in the way
of cut and finish. These varied autumn
shapes show collars both high and low,
and have fronts both closed and open.
Conspicuous among the latest gar

In every time one wants TO read it, But
there is another kind where the fan
is towed astern, and the dial is a fixture
in the ship. This is called a 'cherub."
These logs are not always accurate
and are constantly verified when near
land by crossbearings. That is, the
bearings of two we'll known points are
taken, and the position so obtained is
marked on the chart, the time of obser-
walton being noted, and the reading on
the patent log. After an interval has
elapsed, the position of the ship is again
taken by crossbearings, when the
straight line joining the two places on
the chart will show the direction Of the
course steered, and its length the dis

ings by patent log will give the error

THE SPEED OF A SHIP.
Methods of Measuring 1.-THE Use
of the Log.

How do you ascertain the speed of
a vessel?'' is a question frequently ad-
dressed to a naval man, and an eXpla-
nation will therefore probably be of
interest to many readers. There are
several methods, the commonest and
most ancient being by the use Of the
log" This instrument consists of
three parts-the logship the line and
the marks. The logship is a piece of
wood about half an inch thick, and
shaped like a. quadrant, with a piece
of lead let in round the circular edge
to make it float perpendicularly in the
water. 1t is slung by lines at each
angle, the three lines being joined to-
gether about two feet from the logship.
Two of the lines are securely fixed to
the ship" and the other has a bone
peg at the end, which. being pushed
into a hole in the ship, temporarily
fastens it there. From the point of
juncture of the three lines a sufficient
length is measured generally about one
hundred feet, to take the logship we'll
clear of the ships wash This is called
the STRAY line and is marked with
a piece of bunting. From the bunting
is measured AZ feet inches. and the

then another space the same length
and marked with three knots and so
on as far as seven knots Half way
between each batch of knots one single
knot is made. The logline is then ready
for use.
Thtl space between the knots is found

To use the log four persons are re-
Quired: two men to hold the reel on
which the line is wound; the quarter
master, to hold the glass; and the mid
shipman of the watch. to heave the log
The last named puts the peg firmly in
the logship. and then gathers three or
four coils of line in his hand, sufficient
to admit of the logship being thrown

glass, and watches the sand, while one
'reeler" holds the reel we'll over his
head, so as to give the line fair play.
When the sand has run out, "Stop!"
cries the quartermaster. The midship-
man grasps the line assisted by the
other reeler, and looks for the nearest
knot finding single one close to his
hand. Then the line is hauled in, and
four knots appear, which signify that
