pER1Ls OF THE sToKER.
His Days Down In the Depths of the
Great Ocean Lines Full
of Danger.

Life among the stokers on board an
Atlantic liner is described by a IN
tributor who put in a voyage as an anna
teur coal trimmer. AS a coal trimmer,
he says, I had to wheel my barrow
through a narrow tunnel, fill it with
coal from the bunker, wheel 1t back
again, empty it at the stokers' feet and
keep on until the watch was over, but
this apparently simple occupation was
not without its perils, says the Royal
Magazine.
The glass cylinders which show the
depth of water in the boilers may
burst twice a day, but say for an oc-
casional scalding a man is not often
injured by this. Far more serious are
the consequences of his opening the
doors of his furnace without first shut
ting off his forced draft. A careless
man-perhaps enc who has boarded the
ship the worse for liquor-may, on
starting his watch, forget to shut of
the three checks at the side Of the fur
mace which regulate this detail. On
opening the door a binding draft will
fly into his face and probably scorch him
frightfully.
There is no limit to the number of
minor casualties. AS l trimmed at my
barrow the ship would give a sudden
lursh, and my spade would fly out of
my hand. If | wheeled it through the
tunael without knocking my head
against the side I considered myself for
tunate. With the roll of the ship tools
would fly about in all directions. A
rake which had been lying idle at one
side Of the stokehold would come VIC
lentsy sliding toward one. If you stood
in TIE neighborhood of a hatch anything
might come suddenly down on your
head. Perhaps a shovel has been mis-
laid somewhere above, so down it would
come with a crash.
During a gale 1t was no unusual thing
for a miniature Niagara to rush down
the ventilator and drench anyone who
happened to be standing near. A sea.
too. will sometimes alight on a mass of
clinkers and save the trimmer his task
OF extinguishing them. scalding him and
his neighbors the while by an upward
rush of steam. The stock dinner dish In
The stokehold is noodle" a mixture Of
meats, potatoes and soup. For break
fast, hash: for tea, meat-of a kind
and bread.
At eight every night the chief steward
serds the men on the watch just over
a huge tin containing the leayings from
the saloon passengers dishes. It is re-
ceixsd from the steward by a trimmer
who no doubt gets his first whack at
some dainty r.orsel. Meat, fish, mayon-
naise of lobster, green vegetables. pas
try, tarts. fat from joints are all tum-
Died together in a mixture of gravy and
soup. AS to WAC gets which is a mat
ter of physical contest. The "blaclies"
simply rush for the pan, and sometimes
topple ever the trimmer in charge be-
lore he has had a chance himself.

OF RADIUM.
Remarkable Power Contained In the
Most Wonderful Substance
I'm the World.

Radium makes amends for its scarcity
bysits remarkable properties. A little of
it goes a long way. 1t is SO highly lumi-
nous that print can be read by its light.
Curiously enough, it possesses the power
Of imparting Its own luminosity to other
bodies which in their normal state are
quite inactive, says an account in Wo-
mans Home Companion. A mere frac-
ton at a grain in solution poured from
n vessel to another imparts to each
considerable activity, which persists for
some time, Eel after both vessels are
washed in the usual way. The property
is similar to that Of a grain of musk,
which imparts its odor to every article
of clothing in a wardrobe, although there
has been no material contact. So power
ful is the Photographic action of radium
that it is capable of penetrating black
paper and other Opaque objects as read
lily as sunlight passes through clear glass.
Its chemical action is no less energetic
and remarkable. Oxygen is transformed
into ozone; yellow PHOSPHORUS is con-
verified into red PHOSPHORUS.
The physiological effect Of radium is
such that we should, perhaps, be thank
full that large quantities of the material
cannot be readily obtained. For six
hours Prof. Curie carried in his waist
coat pocket a small tube containing a
very small quantity OF radium. A few
days later a sore developed, which healed
only after seven weeks had elapsed. The
constant handling Of radium is attended
with Inflammation Of the fingers. Held
against the temples of a blind man, rad
UNI will so affect the retina that the SEN
sation of light is produced. In normal
persons the experiment if prolonged will
result in paralysis of the optic nerve.
Applied to the unprotected nerve-cen-
tiers of small animals, the rays produce
p~aralyzing effects which kill.
Radium destroys the terminating
power of seeds, kills the larvae OF but
t%erfiies, and has such a bactericidal eff
feet that it may find a wide use in the
cure of certain skin disease. Indeed. in
one of the Partisan hospitals it has been
employed with results quite as remark
able as those obtained by Finsen with
ultraviolet rays. Diamonds are rem
dered phosphorescent, and can thus be
readily distinguished from paste imita-
tons. which are not SO sensitive to the
rays.

A Gallant Govcrnor.

In 1900 the Southern Music Teach
ers' association held a convention at
Atlanta. Gov. Chanler. Of Georgia.
enjoyed the recitals and lectures. and
did all in his power to encourage the

brilliant reception for the delegates.

A Countryn1an entered a Wood. and looked about him a though he
were in search of something. The Trees, moved by curiosity, asked him
what it was he wanted. He answered that all he wanted was a piece
of good tough ash for a handle to his az. The Trees agreed, that, if
that was all, he could have it. When, however, he had got it, and fitted
it to his ak, he laid about him unmercifuny and the giants OF the forest
fell under his strokes. The Oak is said to have spoken thus to the Beech,

THE NEW ARMY MUSKET.
Said to Be the Deadliest Small Arm in
Modern Warfare.

Major S. E. Blunt, ordnance department,
and Captains c. T. Menoher, artillery
corps, and L. NJ Fuller, ordnance depart
ment, comprising the board detailed to test
the new experimental army musket at the
Sandy Hook proving grounds, have been
ordered to reconvene at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, for further tests of the musket under
service conditions.
The new army musket Is said to be the
deadliest small arm in modern warfare.
The ordnance department has for two years
pushed the work of developing this arm,
which is composite of the Krag-Jorgen-
sen and Mauser and several heretofore I'M
tried devices. The new arm is known SIM
ply as the Springfield musket, model 1903.
Simplicity is one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the new rife. The Burlington
sight of the Krag-Jorgensen gun has been
replaced by the Dickson sight, in the belief
that the latter, being of open or military
pattern, Will be productive Of better marks
manship. The knife bayonet of the Krag-
Jorgensen is repla iced by a rod bayonet.
The velocity of the bullet Of the old
Springfield gun, used in the closing days
of the civil war, and as the standard arm
of the United States until the adoption Of
the Krag-Jorgensen a few years before the
outbreak of the Spanish war, Is between
1900 and 1.40O feet second. The velocity
of the Krag Jorgensen is 1900 feet a sec
ond. and in the new rifle speed Is increased
to 300 feet.

THE PHILIPPINE FORESTS.
An Interesting Address by Mr.. Gift
ford Pinchot

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot addressed the Wash
ington alumni of the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology Monday evening on the
forests Of the Philippines. Stereopticon
views made clear some wonderful effects
produced upon the vegetation by the ami
NAL and vegetable parasites which abound
and also the beneficial effects due to the
mixing of huge amounts of soil in few
months by the earth worm, tons Of mineral
earth being brought to the surface by these
organisms, thus fertilizing the ground. Mr..
Pinchot spoke also of the personality Of
the Filipino very favorably. The lantern
was operated by Mr.. Hough Of the patent
office
Mr.. Hayford Of Cornell, Mr.. Billings OF
the patent office and Mr.. Won Vlech were
a few of the guests of the evening who
were present. The members who attended

Body Identified.

Information has been received here from
Atlantic City, N. j., to the effect that the
body of the woman found on the cliffs at
Newport. r. l.. as heretofore published in
The Star, has been positively identified by
means Of photograph sent by the police
authorities of Newport to Atlantic City as
that of Miss A. NJ. Parker Of New York
city. The unfortunate woman had visited
Atlantic City in October of 1901 and re-
sided there until June, 1902 The photo
graph was identified at the hotel where she
had visited and her autograph was also
found in the register.
According to the information given by the
hotel man, Miss Parker, who was about
forty years DID, was very quiet and exclu-
sive, dressed we'll and always had plenty of
money. She never talked of herself never
wrote nor received any letters or received
any callers One woman guest remarked
having previously seen Miss Parker at Bar
Harbor, but beyond this she knew nothing

ABOUT THATsCOAT

You wear coats Why? To keep
the cold out? No; sao keep the
warmth in. What of the body that
has no warmth-the thns, poor body
that lacks the healthy flesh and fat
it needs?
For such we, say that SCOTS
Emulsion provides the right kind Of
a coat. Why? Because SCOTS
Emulsion builds firm, solid flesh and
supplies just enough fat to fill ma
