Monkeys are very amusing creatures,
but one hardly thinks of them as useful

tricts there were not as many children
reported by the parents as being Of
school age as the officers knew there
ought to be-sO, to ascertain the real
number they called in the monkey to
help them, in this way:
Two monkeys were gaily dressed, put
in a wagon, and, accompanied by brass
band, were carried through the streets of
the district. At once crowds of children
made their appearance. The procession
was stopped in a park. and the school
officers began their work; distributing
sweets to youngsters, they took their
names and addresses. They found out
that sixty parents kept their children
from school This ingenious method
brought to school about two hundred

ROPEMAKING BY ELECTRICITY.
An Economical Innovation at the
Charleston Navy Yard.

This morning electricity formally sup
planted steam as the motive power in the
big ropcwalk at Charleston nayy-yard.
and electricity is for the first time prac-
tically applied to ropemaking.
The new plant, which. in addition to
the electrical generating apparatus of
mammoth proportions, is entirely
equipped with modern and improved rope
making machinery in every department
and every detail, worked most successful
ly. Commander John E. Pillsbury, chief
OF the equipment department, who sug
gested the change, Overcame many Of the
difficulties that stood in the way, and
who has personally directed the installa-
ton or new power plant and machinery,
came in for general congra tulation from
Admiral Sampson, Capts. Johnson, Dyer,
Wadleigh, Farenholt, Commander Kear-
ney. the chief engineer: Naval Construct
or Baxter and other heads of depart
ments, all of whom dropped in during the
day to witness the operation of the plant,
which was running in every detail. to-
days practical operating test including
every machine and piece of apparatu s in
the entire plant.
The: starting up was gradual, as mat
ter OF precautlOn. and by reason of the
nonappearance Of some of the men called
within day or so for work under the
new conditions, and also because of the
lack Of familiarity of some of the new
men with the new arrangements. But
by noon every machine in the break
preparatory, spinning and ali the new
modern vertical ropemaking machines
were running to their full capacity, and
the quartermile ropewall was humming
with the buzz and whirl Of the seventy
two big double flying spinning machines,
the big break and carding machines and
the twenty-five new vertical ropemaking
machines of various sizes which have
been installed in the place Of the long
lines of small spinning jennies and the
old-fashioned break and card machines
Of various sizes. all nearly a half CEN
tury old. and which had practically been
worn out III the service.
The vertical ropemaking machines are
an advance in the direction of modern
methods, as formerly there were but four
or five Of these and they were used only
for the manufacture of the very small
est size of rope, all more than a couple
of inches in dimension having been laid
up on the big quarter-mile alleys on the
lower floor, with all the trouble and care
and practically the same expense for la
hor as would have been required in turn
ing out a 25-inch hawser.-Boston Post.
