The days of the old forecastle, hung
away in the dark hold under the for
ward mast, are gone forever, no matter
what flag the vessel may carry. The
forecastle on new steel ships is deck

ships it is ventilated like the shippers

The men used to eat with their plate
on their knees; now they have n mess

the reason modern forecastles do not
have bath tubs is that the sailors would
rather take their baths on deck by

5000 MILES TO WAKE 4 MAN.
Message Crosses the Ocean Twice "a
Rouse q Sleeping Operator.

Out among the beautiful green groves
Of Northampton, Mass, says the Bos-
ton Globe, lives DR.. c. II. Crosby who
was once the champion telegraph ope-
rator of America. He is an MD. with
large practice, a member of two or
three clubs and a prominent secret So
cicty man, who has quite outlived the
days when the "key" was his constant
companion.
Once in while, however, of an even
ing when cigars arc lit and the company
is of tho right order he can be induced
to tell good story. Perhaps the raress
of the lot. one that has never been
printed. although lots of them have
found their way about, is about the time
when the French cable people telegraph
ed 5000 miles to have him walked tip
when he was asleep in the next room,
not twenty feet away from the operator
who rcccicvd the message.
The French line from this country
stretched from Duxbury by way of
Newfoundland to Brest, in France. DR..
Crosby was the responsible night man
in the lookout at Duxbury. 1t was a
night in October and the future disci-
pie of Galen had taken his usual station
at the key. Between the hours of 8 and
I, when the foreign news known in
those days as Reugers cablcgrams used
to come over the wires, there was usu.
ally very little doing and he dropped
of in a doze.
At o'clock the New York office
called him. They had private message
for transmission.
"Tick" went the little tormenter, I'M
der his nose. but the operator heard 1t
not. After hammcring away in vain
for several minutes the New York op-
orator gave TIP and thought minute.
There was but ono way out OF 1t. lhe

Siberian Labor Cheap and Efficient

Labor, its cost and kind, is an i'm
portant factor in the future develop
ment of Sibcria's mineral wealth. Prices
paid for labor in Russia and Siberia
are exceedingly low-from fifteen cents
day in the region of the southern
Urals, where much grain is raised and
where the country is thckly settled, to
$3.50 a day in northern and eastern
Siberia, in the regions of intense cold,
and where the mines are remote from
the sources OF supply. In all cases the
laborcrs feed themselves. The reason
of the chcapness of mining labor in
Siberia is that the wants of the people
are few. The workmen are of the
peasant class, and it may be said that
the larger proportion of them can
neither read nor write. Their food
consists OF mutton, black bread, do
nestle fowls, eggs, milk and tea. Most
of the neceSsaries of life are supplied
by their own farms or gardens, and
their purchases, besides tea, sugar and
vodka (the national stimulan), are few.
Their clothes cost little and their en-
joymcnts are usually limited to the cele-
bration OF the numerous civil and re-
ligious holidays by mutual visiting and
the consumption, in greater or less guam
titles, OF vodka. In no country can be
found men who more cheerfully sustain
the hard labor, privation and sudden
and severe changes OF climate than the
Russian and Siberian pesants.

Files Eyes.


Whoever thinks the male the superior
animal finds no rest for the sole OF his
foot in the contemplation Of what we,
in the sublimity of our self-conceit, call
the lower animals. In our general ig-
norancc of the houscfly we do not know
just how foolish and no-account the
male u.s. but We may reasonably infer
that his eyes are so close together that
they touch each other. That always
a bad sign. II you see anybody with
eyes close together you are entitled to
think little of his intelligence.
The fly has two sorts of eyes, the big
compound one, 1900 in bunch on each
side OF the head, for knocking about in
the daylight, and three simple eyes on
the top of the head for use in poor
light, sewing and fine print. Before 60
ing into ccstasies Of admiration over the
creature that has 1000 eyes on each
side of its head it might be well to re-
member that they are not of much ac-
count In case of old flies kept over
winter, the compound eyes cave in and
get broken, yet the fly seems to get along
and find food One kind gentleman var
nishcd over the simple eyes and
pluckcd off the wings of some flies. He
found that he might hold a candle close
enough to burn the compound eyes OF
the fly before it had a suspicion that any
thing out of the common was going on.
In daylight he took knitting needle
and brought it up In front of the fly
close enough to touch its antennac be-
fore it lodged. II the knitting needle
was brought up on one side, Mr.. Fly
picked up his sticking plastcrs quite
