WHERE FLAGS ARE MADE.
A Large Ma.uf.osory at the Now York
Navy Yard.

A Large Mandatory at the Now York;
Navy Yard.
In the equipment building Of the
New York navy yard there is a large
mandatory. where most Of the hags'
of our navy are made. A large vessel
carries forty American flags. and
smaller vessel almost as many. THIS
does not include the fleet and inferna-
'tional signal flags, and the flags OF otn-
er countries. There are three rooms
in the equipment building that are CIV
en- up to nag making. One of these is
very large, and the others at either
end are much smaller. There are sew
Ing machines. scissors. pincushions
and flatirons scattered around, so that
the place does not look unlike pa
triotic dressmaker's establishment.
The flags are all made by women,
though few men help to cut out the
stars and do the finishing The wind
and weather destroy flags SO fast. and
new vessels are put into commission
SO rapidly that 1t is necessary to en-
ploy q number OF people even In time
Of peace. The working hours, during
the late war, were extended from
o'clock in the morning to O'Clock In
the evening. In one week eighteen
hundred flags were made at the nag
department. and this was when the
rush of work was about over. The
women cut all the square flags and the
devices for them. The men cut the
stars and bias pennants. and put on
the finishing touches and the heading
through which the rope runs. They
also put In the rope and stencil the
flag with the size and nationality.
There is a pattern for every nag. and
the patterns are put away in paper
bags when not in use There are for
ty-four flags in a set Of general sig
mails used in the navy. These are In
three sizes, while the regular flag is
made In nine sizes. The largest flag
measures thirty-six feet long. while
the smallest is only thirty inches.
Pennants are made up to seventy feet
long. There are nineteen interna-
tional signal flags and forty-three for
eign flags, which are made at the navy
yard.-scientihc American.

Fifty girl students have this year en-
tered upon full scientific course of
farming at the Agricultural College in
Minneapolis. Heretofore the oppor-
tunities afforded girls for study were
confined to the few weeks Of summer
vacation allotted to the male students,
but this year, as in others to come,
one may assume they are to enjoy full
privileges with the men. 1t is suppos-
ed. il the experiment proves success
full, that other states may be induced
to follow the example set by Mime
sofa, and that henceforth farm life
may present such unwonted attrac-
