One thing clearly established in the
late war was that the best soldiers did
not come from the tough city quarters,
where brute courage is supposed to be
at its best, but from the ranks of busi-
ness, professional and industrial life,
merchants, clerks, lawyers, artisans,
farmers sons, college students and So
ciety men, who have something OF that
chivalrous pride which made the
Household brigade Of the old French
king fling themselves upon the enemy
without fear of death or defeat. 1t is
from these classes that the soldiers and
sailors of Michigan have been recruited,
and recognition of their sterling merit
came as soon as they went to the front
They are not selected from among
those whom Sheridan designated a.

4 fsw weeks since ths Chamber Of
Commerce requested the navy depart

Of the bureau OF navigation. writes the

In every neighborhood there are boys
who inherit IN advsnturesonae. rowing
disposition. They are unhappy on the
farm or behind the counter. and no home
training ID SUFFICIENT to eradicate the de-
sire to travel and see the world. To
try to force them to remain at home
and graduate into farmers or shopkeep-
err - to run the danger Of adding 20
the number OF tramps or village loafers.
This daring. restless spirit made the
pioneers who preceded the settlement Of
the Mississippi valley and Pacific coast
But. while this spirit remains In our
young men. there IL no longer any out
let in the unsettled wilderness for its
qualifications. As In the early days OF
New England. our boys. filled with the
rowing disposition. must turn to the sea
to find the life that suits them.
Our navy today offers every induce
ment to such boys without the brutal
ity and hardships endured on board the
whalers ana merchant vessels for
hundred years before our commercial
marine was virtually wiped out during
the civil war. The naval apprentice
during his Ave yearr service has . com.

Of health on board our naval vessels
during the Spanish war has been q mat
ter OF general surprise In the malarial
tropics around the West Indies and
Philippines the health statistics OF our
navy have been perhaps higher than
any equal body Of men In the world
In comparison with the dangers, hard
ships and privations Of the army, the
navy Is Infinitely preferable. In addi-
ticn to the other advantages, the disci-
piine and routine in the navy forms
habits OF regularity and self-control.
The fact Of the Adams being on the
Sound for the purpose Of shipping sea-
men and naval apprentices should be
published by every paper throughout
the state.

HOW THEY STAND GREAT HEAT.
workmen in Foundries and Rolling Mills
Appear to Be Salamanders.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Visitors to the South Chicago rolling
mills and to many foundries in the city
during the molding hour have no doubt
often wondered how the men employed
in these places endure the terrible heat
of their surroundings. In the melting
room of the United States mint at
Philadelphia the thermometer usually
indicates loo degrees, in gas works lis
degrees and in blast furnaces lis de-
grees, while in steamships the firemen
sometimes have to endure 140 degrees
of heat. In all these places the men
wear very little clothing, and undoubt-
eddy suffer from the exposure, but not
so much as a person might suppose.
The explanation of this fact is that
these men are not reached by the hui
midity. They are working in places
where the artificial heat is so intense
as to drive out the humidity, and lis
degrees of heat in a pure, dry air is not
felt so much as a mixture of 80 degrees
of heat and so per cent of humidity,
that tells on the people and sorely tries
