through wonderful contortions with its
loose end. Cap'n Jim was hanging on
philosophically and the men in the yawl
We're lying on their oars, watching rest
fully
Suddenly with a rattle and q smash and
a thump and roar, the whole mighty side
of the black steel ship swung up into the
air and over she lay on her other side.
Slapi went the ladder against her and the
landsman's breath left his body in involun-
tary sympathy with the way Cap'n Jim's
breath must have been knocked out of him
by that most awful slam But Cap'n Jim
was skinning up the ladder like a cat and
was half way to the deck.
Sometimes, remarked the other pilot, a
man doesn't manage to fend himself off ex-
actiy In time when she rolls like that, and
then he certainly does get a right smar.
punch, and sometimes 1t even stuns him
and he falls into the water. That's always
terrible joke on him afterward. But Cap'n
Jim, now, he's too spry to get caught like
that, for all that he'll never see fifty again.
Now she's heeling over to looard once more
and there goes that DANCED ladder beginning
to twist because that sailor is a lubber that
doesn't know enough to put her oversize
properly. Those Nash ladders hardly ever
twist If they're handled right But, of
course the Kaiser is heeling a little, too
Not much. but a little.
When Ladders Twist.
Cap'n Jim was twisting with the ladder
But she had not more than begun her
snake dance before his brown left hand was
against the skin of the ship. and, with both
stout legs braced like pillars and his right
arm bent like q piece of steel, he conquered
the crazy thing and clambered over the rail-
Good exercise said the Landmarks men
tor approvfngly. Now, I shouldn't wonder
but what 1t might make you pretty tired to
climb up that ladder even if it was on shore
That climb has killed two pilots-John Can
win anu Alfred Baudier. 1t knocked their
hearts out and they died on the ships after
they got aboard. Baudier had his hand
stretched out to shake with the captain of
the ship when he dropped and died right
there on the deck"
The landsman looked up at the towering
ship again and thought that probably few
landsmen would ever live to reach the deck
He imagined rope ladder hanging down
from fourth story OF house with no one
on the ground to hold it and pictured the
task of climbing that Then he thought of
the house moving at ten knots an hour and
sWaying back and forth erratically; and
then he thought of what they had said to
him at the pilot board office when he ap-
piled for leave. to go to sea on a schooner
belonging to the service:
There's really nothing to see any more.
The boats don't go out two and three hum
dred miles to sea to race for ships. Most
of the vessels nowadays are boarded near
the bar You'll probably not find much to
write about
Which is respectfully submitted.

Lifting Power of Man.
From the Chicago Journal.


The lifting power of youth of seventeen
years is go pounds; in his twentieth year
this increases to 800 pounds: in the thir-
tieth and thirty-irst year 1t reaches its
height. 1863 pounds. At the end of the thir-
ty-hrst year the strength begins to de-
cline, very slowly at first. By the fortieth
year 1t has decreased eight pounds, and
this diminution continues at slightly in
creasing rate until the flftieth year is
reached, when the figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails more
and more rapidly until the weakness of old
age is reached 1t Is not possible to give
statistics OF the decline of strength after
the fiftieth year, as II varies to a large
extent in different individuals.
