Indians in Politics.

Old Chief Joseph of the Nez-Perces
died this fall. Joseph was great
man, says a writer in Field and
Stream, general, statesman and a
philosopher. He was the leader of a
people of intelligence, ability and
kindness. 1t was the misfortune OF
Joseph and his people that the white
men could not understand them and
their ways of thinking.
In the Indian nations the tribes
make some semblance of an approach
to the ways of the white man. 1t is
possible that they may become wholly
civilized and so survive, because it is
quite true that they take to the great
American institution, politics, as nat
urally as a fish to water. The Choc-
taws are the best politicians. They
have a campaign committee and a
campaign fund, and they know how to
spend the latter where it will do the
most good. They print and distribute
literature among the voters, this
literature being printed both in Eng
lish and Choctaw. The party adopting
these methods never fails to defeat
the party adhering to the old Indian
fashion of feasts and speeches as CAM
paign methods.

Ours the Finest Lightships.

SuTS tIC TUiCSl G'9HtSi'IPo'
The vessel at Diamond Shoal, off
Cape Hatteras, has, perhaps attracted
more attention among mariners than
any other because it is an American
invention, and is said to be the only
one of it's kind in the world. 1T shoots
a steady geyser of flame, like search
light, straight up into the heavens
The effect on dark night is very
weird
Uncle Sam gets his lightships by
contract, just as he does his battle
ships. Some of them have been built
by the Cramps in Philadelphia, and
some by the old Nixon yards, which
fell into the hands of the shipping
trust. 1t is an essential thing that
they be strongly and comfortably
built A crew on a lightship headed
to gale and Juggling away at her
anchors may not have as much fun
as on a free vessel scudding before
the wind, but they get greater
amount and variety Of motion, and
they like to know that there are
sound timbers under them.

Iananese as Scientists.

mo eastern nation is more strong
Iy represented than are the Japanese
in the ENGLISH annals of science,
says the London Lancet. They pos
sess an undoubtedly strong faculty
for original research, and they COM
bine this faculty with sharp-sight-
edness as to the possibility Of the
practical application of the fruits Of
research. The Japanese chemist
unites the power of originality of the
English chemist and the practical in
tuition of the German. There are
several distinguished Japanese chem
is who are fellows of the English
Chemical society, who were elected
to their fellowship on account of their
contributions to original science"

under their own steam when the
anchor cable breaks. as it did with
the Fire Island lightship last winter,
much of the danger and discomfort
formerly attached to the service is
removed.
On the outside lightships, like the
Fire Island, the Sandy Hook and the
Scotland there are crews of fourteen
men-the captain, mate, engineer and
assistant, three firemen, six able sea-
men and a cook. The cooks on these
ships are usually Scandinavians. They
prefer such jobs rather than going to
sea because the work is easier, the pay
is better, and since the government
provides them with rations they can
save money. Having no family ties
in the western hemisphere, the lone
someness of the life does not weigh
heavily on them. The captain of
.lightship gets $1,000 year, the mate
S720, the chief engineer $500, his as
sistant $3.50, fremen $40 month,
sailors $50 month and the cook $35
month.
For the officers mess the govern
ment allows each man 81 day ra-
tions. and for the crews mess forty
five cents a day. The men can COM
mute what they please to the extent
of their allowance, but they must not
exceed it. If sailor wants to COM
mute a porterhouse steak one day and
go hungry the next he can do it. But
the supplies sent out from Staten
Island usually consist of the regular
ships stores-beef, pork Goldfish, ba-
con, ham and molasses-and expert
ence proves that, eat as heartily as
they may, the men never consume the
full allowance coming to them.
Every man must furnish his own
tobacco. Uncle Sam simply gives him
permission to smoke aboard ship, and
the souls of the men are constantly
disturbed by agitators who want to
take away even that comfort. Liquors
the man on the lightship must do
without, except when the captain
gives him some from the medicine
chest. Jack afloat on the raging sea
may have his daily allowance of rum,
but Jack anchored in lightship gets
none.

1t is only when a passing steamer
brings news that some poor fellow is
very i'll on a lightship twenty miles
from the coast. and the weather Is too
rough for a relief tender to get him
ashore, that the public hears anything
about these sailors who never go to
sea- but spend their lives in anchored
ships, warning other mariners from
danger. They are scattered all along
the Atlantic coast from the New
Brunswick boundary in Maine to Key
West.
1t is a dreary and lonesome exist
ence at best, life aboard lightship;
within sight and almost within hear
ing of coast that teens with life and
human interest, where something i'm
portant is happening almost every
hour of every day, and to be as ignor-
ant of it for days at time as though
you were living on the moon; to be
shut out from sight of the coast for
days at time by an impenetrable fog.
and to hear no sound but the mournful
bleat of the horn that conveys no mes
sage but that of imminent danger; to
keep long, silent watches in the bitter
winter nights, and realize that not
only your own safety and that If your
shipmates on the lightship depends on
your vigilance, but the lives of scores,
possibly hundreds, of others going
down to the sea in ships whom you
never saw and never expect to see.
Twenty or twenty-one days of this
each month, then ten days ashore if
the weather will permit-that is the
life of the coast guardsman on a light
ship.
Service Less Dangerous Now.
Most of the men who serve on light
ships are married, and the majority of
them are Americans. In making ap-
pointments the law says that prefer
ence must be given to men who have
been honorably discharged from the
United States navy. Since the gov
eminent began to build flush-deck
lightships that ride the water like a
duck, and which can come ashore

Lonely Life on a Lightship.

The sailors say that before they

are bored to death Of one another's

start they play checkers and chess,
and have an occasional game of cards.
That soon pals. Then they smoke
and read. But Uncle Sam changes the
