WHERE FLAGS ARE MADE.
a Large Mandatory at the New York
Sayy Yard.

NAVY Yard.
In the equipment building Of the
New York navy yard there Is 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 feet and interna-
tional signal flags. and the flags Of 9TH
er countries. There are three rooms
in the equipment building that are Civ
en- up to flag making. One of these Is
very large, and the others at either
end are much smaller. There are sew
ing machines, scissors. pincushions
and fiatirons scattered around. so that
the place does not look unlike pa
triotic dressmakers 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 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 flag
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 pattern for every flag. and
the patterns are put away in paper
bags when not in use. There are for
ty-four flags in set of general sig
nails 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
egn flags, which are made at the navy
yard.-Sclentific American.

A SCHOOL ON WHEELS.
uev the westinrho Air-nrAko systsm
Is Taught

AAuSus
A few weeks ago there rolled into
the yard OF the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad. at Park
square. a most unusual kind OF school
house. II was backed upon siding,
and remained there until 1t left the
city. This schoolhouse, with its corps
OF competent instructors. is the only
one of its kind in this country, or in
the whole world, for that matter, and
is owned and operated by the West
inghouse Air Brake company. IL Is
made up OF three cars and has Travelled
more than ffty-five thousand miles. In
it more than one hundred Thousand
railroad men have been instructed
within the eight years of It's exist
ence. 1t is a perfectly constructed
school house, fitted with every appli-
ance for instructing the pupils in the
use of the Westinghouse Air Brake
system, and has its principal and its
competent teachers. When the West
inghouse air brake was invented and
applied to steam railroads. it was
found TO be the best thing of its kind
ever invented. provided II was proper
ly handled. 1t is automatic in its ae-
ton, but the best results could not
be obtained without competent man
at the throttle who understood per-
fectly just what results might be OBJ
tained with certain amount of pros
sure. 1t was this fact that led to the
establishment of the schoolhouse,
which just now has its headquarters
in Boston. 1t was the idea OF getting
the best results out of the brake, and
therefore insuring greater safety to
the passengers and a saving of prop
erty to the railroads and shippers that
was the inspiration of this remarkable
school. 1t was in 1889 that the three
cars that compose the schoolhouse
were built in Altoona. Pa. by the
Westinghouse Air Brake company. The
instruction car is equipped with the
full number OF air brakes. number CT
feet of piping. coupling, auxiliary res
ervoirs, etc, to equip freight train
Of thirty cars, and also to equip pas
senger train of fifteen ears fitted with
the whistle signaling device. The in
structlon car weighs $4,000 pounds,
and is one of the heaviest ears that
ever Travelled the rails of railroad.
More than 1l2.000 railroad men have
received instruction and have been
examined as to their competency The
schoolhouse OF three cars has been on
every railroad west of the Mississippi
river, including Manitoba, Canada, and
Mexico. 1t has also been over thou
sands of miles of railroad on the min-
die Atlantic, central and southern
States.-Boston Transcript.

STAMPS AND COINS.

Assistant Postmaster-General Mer-
ritt has decided upon the designs for a
series of new postage stamps for the
island Of Cuba, and they will be sup
piled as promptly as possible by the
bureau Of engraving and printing. An
other series of stamps will be made
for Porto Rico, and a third set for the
Philippine islands. They will be fur
nished by the United States. but the
proceeds of their sale will be turned
into the local treasures until congress
shall order otherwise. All three of
the new colonies are to be treated by
the postof.ice department as foreign
countries until some permanent form
OF government mas been adopted for
them. and the old rates OF postage will
be maintained. 1t will require a five
cent stamp to carry letter to Cuba
ard Porto Rico as before.
General Adiutant Won Petroff, now
postmaster general of Russia. intro
duced novel letter boxes throughout
the Russian cities. and ordered the
mere frequent collection OF letters
from the boxes. The new boxes stand
en- corners of streets, SO that the public
can reach them from sidewalks; the
letter carrier who collects the mail
opens them from the street side with
out even dismounting from his wheel
All the collecting carriers have been
provided with tricycles having a large
receptacle for the mail matter in front
OF them.
The stamps of the Cuban republic,
printed a year or SO ago, as a means
of raising funds for the insurgents,
have been sold in large quantities,
though they have never been recog-
nized as postage stamps. II a letter
franked with one of these labels was
sent to the United States it was treat
ed by the postal authorities as wholly
unpaid, and the postage collected upon
delivery. Having no recognized gov
ernment the Cubans could not issue
hostage stamps and expect them to
be honored in ether countries.
The duke of York, who is now about
35 years of age, and in direct line to
the throne of England, is a most con-
spicuous figure in the stamp world He
is collector, and. OF course. has a
very fine collection, although 1t does
not compare with any other noted al
buns in Europe. but then he is a royal
highness. and that makes heap OF
difference, in the stamp world as else
where.
