REVIEW AS SEEN FROM
A VESSEL OF THE FLEET
A Day of Carnival and Merrymaking
Aboard the Various Warships
Off Spithead.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 16.-Other dis
patches win tell the story of today S
wonderful naval pageant off Spithead
as seen by those who were best able TO
view it from the outside. The following
is an account of day spent aboard one
of the principal vessels IN the four long
lines reviewed by the King today.
Already there were guests aboard
when at O'Clock on brilliant morn
ing. at a given signal, the whole fleet
dressed ship and within six seconds of
the signal 103 British and four foreign
warships broke out futtering flags from
stem to stern.
Service on Deck.
After this came breakfast and every
one congratulated his comrade on the
perfect day. At $3.50 The ordinary Sat
urdays routine having been put TO one
side, the chaplain held short impress
sive service on the quarterback Of the
5attleship. From then on till noon the
avenues between. the warships were
alive with launches bringing guests from
the shore to the various ships. By noon
every deck was gay with huttering sum-
mer toilettes.
The proverbial hospitality of the sail
ors excelled itself today. We had the
free run OF the whole ship from stem
to stern. from stokehole to the topmosi
bridge and ii was not long before some
200 guests seemed literally TO cover the
huge decks of this monster of the deep
of l4,900 tons displacement.
Yet there were over 500 officers and
men aboard, and one could see how the
'unobtrusive discipline, which seems to
be secret of the sailor man, was all
pervasive The officer of the watch,
telescope IL hand, might seem to be In.
but not of, the gay groups standing
everywhere, and so throughout the yes
sci one could see men of all ranks busy
with a thousand and one duties, but
always at hand, even to giving out
mementoes OF the warship.
Entertaining Guests.
BY noon every officer appeared in full
dress uniform. and the captain, war
doom, and gun officers began to enter
tain their guests at luncheon. the ships
band at the same time striking up
Sousas Stars and Stripes Forever"
which may now fairly be counted as one
of Britain's national airs BY adoption.
Meanwhile one had looked long after
the floating city surrounding the bat
tleship Mars. Ii was hard to realize
that the great concourse of warshipS
assembled represented the home and
channel squadrons. and that not on9
ship had been withdrawn from the

able insect"
Some cockroaches are stronger and
more yenturesome than others. Here
is what Herbert H. Smith collector and
naturalist, says of the reaches of the
tropics:
"Cockroaches are so common in Bra
lillian country houses that nobody pays
any attention to them. They have an
unpleasant way pf getting into pro-
vision boxes, and they deface books,
shoes, and sometimes clothing. Where
wallpaper is used they soon eat 1t off

the paste beneath.
Cockroach IN New Role.
But at Corumba. on the upper Para
quay, ] came across the cockroach in
new role. In the house where we were
staying there we're nearly a dozen chill
dren. and every one of them had their
eyelashes more or less eaten off by
cockroaches-a large brown species. one
OF the commonest kind throughout Bra

regularly, In some places quite close TO

children had very long. black eyelashes

odd enough. The trouble was confined
to children. suppose. because they are
heavy sleepers and do not disturb the
insects at work. My wife and | some
times brushed cockroaches from our
faces at night, but thought nothing more
of the matter. The reaches also bite off
bits of the toenails. Brazilians very
encourage the large house spi-
