SPEED OF A SHIP.
A Simple Operation in Finding 1t by
the Log.

From the Army and Navy, Illustrated.
How do you ascertain the speed of
vessel?" is a question frequently ad-
dressed to naval men, and an eXplana-
ton will therefore probably be of in
terest to several readers. There are
several methods, the commonest and
most ancient being 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
quadrant, with IL piece Of lead let in
round the circular edge to make it float
perpendicularly in the water. 1t is
hung by lines at each angle, and three
lines being Joined together about two
feet from the logshlp. 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 100 feet, TO
take the logship well clear of the ships
wish. This is called the STRAY line,
and is marked with a piece of bunting.
From the bunting is measured AZ feet
inches, and the line marked here with
piece of leather. Then another AZ
feet inches is measured off and mark
ed with three knots; then another
space the same length and marked
with three knots, and so on as far as
seven knots. Halfway between each
batch of knots one single knot Is made.
The logline is then ready for use.
The space between the knots is found
from the simple little rule-of-three
sum: AS 5000 seconds (number of sec
| onds in an hour). 2S seconds 0ength of
sand glass), $3.50 feet number of feet
| in a nautical mile); length of line re-
| uuired-which works out TO AZ feet
| inches.
| To use the log four persons are re-
| uuired--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
well clear of the ship. He asks: Clear
glass, quartermaster?' CLEAR glass,
| sir" comes the reply, and overheard
| goes the lOgship and line, the reel rap
| idly revolving. Presently the mlddy
| feels the piece Of bunting passing
| through his hand and he gives the or
| der, "Turn!" The quartermaster turns
| the glass and watches the sand, While
| one "reeler" holds we'll over his head,
so as to give the line fair play When
the sand has run out, "Stop!' cries the
| quartermaster. The midshipman grasps
the line. assisted by the other reeler,
and looks for the nearest knot, finding
a single one close to his hand. Ther
the line is hauled in and four knots
appear which signify that the ship II
going four and half knots through thu
water. The jerk in the line draws the
peg from the losship, which now floats
on it's fiat side and is easily hauled in
When a ship is going over four knots
a fourteen second glass is used, tht
speed being double that shown by tht
| knots on the line.

stella, the 4-year-old daughter Of
EDWARD Frantz, had "a most thrilling
adventure yesterday afternoon. In
company with other companions OF her
age she was playing in the roadway in
front of the Neptune Engine house on
Cedar avenue.
A lady whose name was not ascer-
tained came down the street behind a
horse she was unable to control. The
animal dashed down upon the children
knocking Stella Frantz under its feet.
Fortunately the horse stepped lightly
on her and the carriage passed along,
Stella under it, but not striking any
portion of her body.
The child lay unconscious in the
roadway and was carried to her homs.
Or. John j. Walsh was called and at
tended the girl. Her injuries were
slight only a small wound on the scalp
being inflicted. When the woman who
drove the horse gained control of it,
she returned and evidenced much feel
ing over the accident.
