the boat belonging to A or B. or why
it sails more slowly than the boat be-
longing to c or D.
Ability to answer these and other
questions cannot be gathered from
books, but must be learned from &C
tual experience and the best teacher
possible is the experience of building
a boat, coupled with that of sailing it.
To build even the simplest form of
catboat or sloop is a good deal of an
undertaking and is likely to prove ex~
tremely expensive.
1t is impossible, therefore, to do
much experimenting.
After a hulT- is once made it is well
nigh impossible to reshape it without
pulling the boat all to pieces, which is,
practically, building a new boat.
The barrel boat can be put together
in one day, and the only part of the
boat which need to be bought is the
material for the sail.
Hence it is possible to build several
boats, to try first one scheme and then
another, until most of the philosophy
of sailing is mastered.
Figure 1 shows the hull of barrel
boat. 1t consists of bow barrel and
a stern barrel Joined together by one
strong plank and a simple outrigger
which extends from the plank.
In order that the barrels may not
present a fiat front, which would be
difficult to push through the water,
they are, as shown in the illustration,
depicting the completed boat, fastened
to the plank at an angle.

1t is probably dinner time, and, in
spite of the strangeness of everything
and a slight feeling of inconsistencies
perhaps, he feels hungry.
A boy has to be pretty homesick
when he can't eat, and the bracing salt
breath of the sea, blown from the shin
ing waters which wash the shores of
the training station, is wonderful
provoker of appetite.
He hears a bugle blowing a cheer
full tune and sees the older boys smile
gleefully
He never forgets that dinner call.
1t is the first one of the many
bugle calls he learns to recognize and
the one to which he responds always
with commendable promptness. He
is marched, with his companions, to
the great building which makes the
most prominent and imposing appear
ance of all those on the grounds, the
great ba%racks where the apprentices
live.
He passes through long corridors
and catches a glimpse of a great drill
hall with a gallery around it. There
is an indescribable clean smell about
the building and it looks at if it were
forever scrubbed and scoured-as it
is.
Arriving at the mess hall he finds a
lot of boys there--hundreds and hun
dreds of them; he never saw such lot
of boys gathered in one room before;
if the school is full there may be a
thousand of them.
They are in uniform and sit at long
tables, and on the tables are things to
eat, which fact is of interest also, but

BY H. IRVING KING.

Uncle Sam is building up a navy
which is to be the finest in the world.
He is turning out sailors to man it
which are the finest in the world.
For the making of these sailors, he
has two great factories, one in New
mort and one in San Francisco. To
make these wonderful sailors of his
YOUR Uncle Sam takes boys when
they are young and sends them to one
Of these two big factories, which are
called Training Stations.
Almost every boy thinks he would
like to be a sailor, and Uncle Sam
gives such boys an opportunity, free
of expense to themselves or their
psrents, to go to one of the Training
Stations ana try 1t.
Ii the boy has it in him to become
a first-class man-of-war s-man he gets
an education and a career.
All that he has to do is to learn his
profession thoroughly and behave
himself, and Uncle Sam takes care of
him for the rest of his life. Never
in all his days will he have to worry
about where his rent, his food or his
clothes are coming from; he can save
money, he can visit strange lands and
sail strange seas and see all the Won

PRINCE MlCHAEL'S
FAIRY STORY.

I
The story of the Princes and the
Dragon as Told by an Assnssinated
King.
Prince Michael. who reigned over
Servia forty-five years ago. was as
sassinated by agents of the present
King Peters father, just as his sue
cessor, King Alexander, recently was
murdered by friends of Peter
| In a volume of Servian folklore
| collected by Madam MiJatovitch, is a
: fairy tale that Is contributed by this
Prince Michael. He had heard 1t when
a boy from the lips of his nurse.
1t tells how there was once king
who had three sons and one daughter
The daughter was walking one day
near the palace when a great dragon,
that lived in magic kiosk in the air.
came swooping down upon her, mount
ed on a flying horse, and carried her
off. Then the three brothers mounted
their steeds and set out In search Of
their sister, the King telling them not
to return home again until they had
found her and rescued her from the
dragon.
The three brothers travelled, and
Travelled, and Travelled until, at last
they came to the magic kiosk, hang
ing in the air between earth and
heaven.
Then the two older brothers said.
There is no way to climb up to the
kiosk; let us return and say that our
sister Is dead"
But the younger brother said: mo,
let us Kill one of the horses and make
a long thong Of leather from his hide
This we will shoot up to the kiosk by
attaching 1t to an arrow, and so we
can climb up"
This they did, and then the ques-
ton arose as to who would climb up
the leather thong to the kiosk and kill
! the dragon.
= The Oldest brother said that he
would not and the second brother
declared that he was afraid. So the
youngest brother climbed and entered
the airy dwelling of the fierce dragons
He went running from room TO room
until at last he came to a great hail.
where he saw his sister sitting with
the dragon, sleeping with his head up
on her knee.
The boy drew his sword and hit the
dragon with all his might, but the
dragon only reused up a little and,
moving a paw toward the place where
he had been hit, said; Il felt some
| thing bite me just there"
Then the brother hit him with his
mace as hard as he could. The dragon
only said: II felt something bite me
| just there"
But at the third blow the dagger Of
| the younger brother found the vul-
nerable SPOT in the dra CONS scales
and the monster rolled over and died.
As soon as the sister was freed she
kissed her brother and then showed
him through the rooms Of the magic
| kiosk.
She led him first to a room where
black horse stood all saddled and
| bridled, and his saddle and bride were
| all Of pure silver.
Then she took him TO a second
room where was another horse. all
ready to be mounted like the first, and
| all his harness was of pure gold.

ness was all studded with precious

In fourth room they found a beau

thread, and in a nth another beauti-
ful girl was working golden embroid-

apprentices, soon to be transformed
into the 'men behind the guns"-the
pride of the nation.
Whatever day of the week 1t hap
pens to be when $he newcomer takes
his first meal at the Training Station
he will find on the table plenty of good
food. If 1t happens to be Monday he
will find that his dinner consists of
roast beef, potatoes, stewed corn Cor

cob) bread, milk, coffee and ginger
snaps. An awful lot of ginger snaps
are consumed at the Training Stations
the boys seem to like them.
All the boys finish eating at the
same time, which seems singular to
the newcomer first: but he soon be-
comes accustomed to it and learns to
regard it as a part of the clock-like
regularity with which everything
moves in this well-ordered world which
he has entered.
After dinner the boy is marched
back to the building whence he came
and there he is allowed to loaf about
for half an hour, to stroll within a
limited area outside of the building,
and to get new impressions of the
thousands of new things which en-
gage his attention.
Summoned back into the building
petty officers appear, who go about in
structing the newcomers in a business
like way as to the proper manner Of
folding their clothing, how to stow
them in their clothes bags, how to
swing a hammock and how to get into
it and stay there without tumbling
out at the further side.
He is taught how to lay his kit"
out for inspection. how to fall in"
and fall OUT" how to stand in ranks
and how to march.
He is told such a lot of things that
he is in despair of ever remembering
one-half of them, and what with. the
strangeness of it all and a feeling of
loneliness in spite of the many folk
around him, by the time the bugle
sounds for supper he is pretty well
tired out and perhaps little discour-
aged.
However, supper cheers him up a
bit: The meal is served in the same
big mess hall where he ate dinner, and
on the day chosen for illustration,
Monday, it will consist of cold roast
beef, tomato catsup, bread and butter
and tea.
After supper the new boy is pretty
much his own master until bedtime,
and when the bugles sound the sweet
music of taps he sinks to sleep to
dream fantastic dreams, in which the
home he has left and the home he has
come to are all mixed up in confused
tumble.
The first day in the making of Que
of Uncle Sans sailors closes upon a
tired and bewildered boy, whose most
definite idea of 1t all is that nothing is
quite like what he thought it was go

THEIR HEADS ARE GATHERING
RAMS.

The thickness of the skull Of the
American negro is well-known, as is
the effective manner in which, in a
fight he can use his head as a bat
tering ram. But he might find his
match among the peasants of Lower
Bavaria, where the people have the
thickest and hardest skulls to be
found among white men.
Athletic sports" in this region take
the form Of trials of contests to see
who can hit the hardest blow with his
head used to a battering ram.
The inhabitants OF the little village
Of Langdorf are pre-eminent in these
sports" With their heads tied be-
hind their backs they win butt their
heads against each other, after the
manner OF the Southern negroes, or
break thick boards with them. A
good Langdorfer is said 10 be able

HIS head, or the strongest barnyard
gate.

on which a golden hen and her chick

her.
After having looked over the palace
the brother returned to the hall
where the dead dragon lay and threw
him to the ground, where he fell with
a great thud, which almost scared the
two older brothers to death.
Then the young Prince drew up the
leather thong and with It let down to
the earth his sister and the three
maidens, who took with them the work
upon which they had been engaged.
AS he lowered them down he shout
ed to his brothers. telling them to
whom each Of the maidens he had
rescued should belong. For himself

When I brought out the flint and

In a minute the leaves began to
blaze, and as the smoke and flames
leaped up my friends began to chatter
and scream and draw away. The wind
carried the flames into the thick for
est, and PRETTY soon there was a fire
raging that hundred engines could
not put out.
The gorillas huddled around me for
three or four minutes, afraid of the
flames, but not wishing to leave me,

they ran screaming away.
Instead of following them 1 ran in

or other gorillas, but fortunately I did
not.
All that afternoon and for three
days more l journeyed through the
forest, sleeping in trees at night, and
then l came upon party OF White
men camped IN grove.
They were traders who went from
tribe to tribe selling spear-heads,
knives, looking glasses, beads and
other things. Two of them had been
in our village once, and knew them
at sight.
When / had told them my story
they said 1t was a wonderful one, and
then they told me that my father and
all my tribes believed that had been
put to death by the Makololos.
81 was too far from home to think
of going back alone, and the traders
advised me to 20 with them to Cape
Town and live among the white peo-
pie for time.
1 was glad to go with them, and
scarcely had we come TO the towns and
cities when the people began to ques-
ton me and declare that my adven-
lures were wonderful.
The newspapers said that I was the
only person ever heard of who had
been captured by gorillas and got
away alive.
One day q dime museum man came
to see me, and after a little talk he
offered me money to go to England

You may think 1 was satisfied to
stay with the gorillas, as they mad
treated me we'll and it was a pleasant
life, but from the very first day l was
always longing to get away and back
to my own people.
The trouble was that they never let
me out of their sight for a moment
Many and many a time l started out
to take a little walk by myself hoping
for a chance to get away, but one OF
more of the animals always followed
me. and if 1 walked too far they grew
angry.
1t was plain that they meant to Keep
me a prisoner, and if they caught me
trying to escape it would be bad Tor

| was always in hopes that We
should set out some day and journey
toward the Zambesi river, and that,
finding myself near home, l might
get away by day or night, but we
never went in that direction.
1t seemed as if the gorillas suspect
ed me, and were determined not to
give me a chance.
When 1 had been a prisoner for
three long months and had become
discouraged, 1 determined to try my
plan.
I knew that all wild animals were
afraid of fire, but I could not tell just
how frightened the gorillas would be-
come on seeing flames. If they did
not run far away then my plan would
be a failure.
One day about noon, when there
was a pretty stiff breeze blowing, I
began piling up great heap Of dead
leaves and limbs. The gorillas were
