The Difference in Sailors.
From the New York Sun.


The recent popularity of American sea-
men and the preference for them in the
merchant marine have a sound eNplana-
ton. The seaman of other days the roll
licking, hornpipe dancing, unsophisticated
mariner, was well enough in his way. but
the conditions which made possible his en-
ployment have so greatly changed that up
to-date sailors are required. and, naturally
enough, when up-to-date sailors are needed.
American jack tars are right in it, An au-
thority on life on the ocean wave has re-
Gently described the changes in work on
board ship as follows: The modern ship diff
fers very much from the ship of years ago.
Her rigging is of steel and the sails are
hoisted and the capstan is turned by steam
There are various mechanical contriVances,
pa tent halliards and blocks, unknown until
recently To handle ship rightly requires
more intelligence than formerly In sailor
1t takes less than one-half as many men to
handle $ship of 200 tons as it did twenty
i've years ago, but they must be good men.
And all captains agree that the American
sailor can do the work In modern ship as
no other sailor can.

was the moving of furniture, though it
seemed strange that it should shake a
heavy stone building; but when I began ia
feel dizzy, 1 said to myself, "earthuIake,"
and | then went out on to the balcony
and, sure enough, the whole building was
visibly swaying and the large hanging
lamps swinging ike eensers. There was no
noise, which made it all the more weird
