The Spinner.

The spinner twisted her slender thread
As she sat and spun
The earth and the heavens are mine -
she said
And the moon and sun
Into my web the sunlight goes
And the breath Of May
And the crimson life OF the new blown
That was born today
The spinner sang In the hush Of noon
And her song WAS low
"Ah. morning you pass away too soon.
You are swift 10 go
My heart o'ertiows like Drumming cup
With its hopes and fears
Love come and drink the sweetness up
Ere II turn To tears
The spinner looked at the falling sun

I have spun and woven with patient eyes,
Aud with fingers fleet
Lo where the toll of lifetime lies
In a winding sheet

SHIPS, ANCHORS.
The Change From Short Straight
Flukes TO Curved Arms.

The Change From Short Straight
Flukcs TO Curved Arms.
The ships anchors in general use up
to the beginning of the last century
consisted of long. round iron
shank, having two comparatively short
straight arms or fukes, inclined to the
shank at an angle Of about forty de-
grees and meeting 1t in q somewhat
sharp point at the crown. In large an
chors the bulky wooden stock was built
up Of several pieces, hooped together,
the whole tapering outward to the ends,
especially on the aft or cable side.
About the beginning Of the last CEN
tury a clerk in the Plymouth navy
yard, Pering by name, suggested GER
tain improvements, the most impor-
tant Of which was making the arms
curved instead 'of straight. At first
sight this simple change may seem Of
little value, but consideration will show
this is not the case. The holding power
Df an anchor depends ON two principal
conditions namely, the extent Of use
full holding surface and the amount of
vertical penetration. The latter quail
ity is necessary on account of the ma
face layers of which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than Is thf
ground snort distance below.
In the year 1881 chain cables began
to supersede the hempen ones, with the
result that the long shanked anchors
hitherto in vogue were no longer nee
essary, and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. In
consequence Of these changes, a COM
mission was appointed in the year 1888
to inquire into the holding power Of
anchors and a principal result Of Its
labors was the adoption Of the SO called
admiralty pattern anchor, which con-
tinued to be used in the British navy
up to the year 1860.
The invention of the steam hammer
In 1912 made the welding Of heavy
masses Of iron comparatively easy
and reliable process, SO that from this
time onward the strength of anchors
fully kept pace with that Of the chain
NapiCSy w hdo SOluC 1uIO StllcIdl
use. A number Of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great exhi-
bition Of 1851, and, public attention
having been called to the models there
shown in the following year, commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty to
report on the qualifications Of anchors
Of the various kinds.
Practical trials were then instituted,
and, as result, some of the tests to
which the anchors were submitted
We're Of doubtful value--such, for in.
stance, as facility for sweeping"
Nowadays, however, at all events for
deep ships in shallow harbors, 1t is
considered an advantage for an anchor
to offer as little obstruction as possible
above the ground.-Nautical Gazette.

How to Keep Out of Trouble.

'"The rivalry between the two arms
Of the national service, the army and
navy" said an army man, "is most
shown between the marines and the
Jackies on a man-of-war. The marines
are soldier policemen, and the jackies
have keen contempt for them. 1 re-
member hearing of one old tar who was
always getting into trouble. Finally
he made peace with one of the ma
rines.
"Tell me how to keep out Of trou.
BILE? the old tar asked. 'If you'll show
me the way I'll give you my plug Of
tobacco
1.-The marine tried the plug and found
1t to his liking. He tightened his belt,
Strengthened his cap and then, delivered
himself Of this advice:
Whenever you're feeling, easy and
happy and comfortable, outfit, for you
be breaking rule. It's the only
way"

she never goes anywhere, even to
