HAVE HARD LIFE.
Men Serving on Torpedo Boats Are
Cramped and Roasted.

From the Norfolk Landmark.
Each of the torpedo craft carries a crew
o, from sixty to seventy men, and when
one considers the size of the space in which
1t Is necessary for these men to move about
In operating the powerful yet intricate ma
chinery and find sleeping space also, one
must marvel at the life aboard a vessel of
this class.
To live in quarters the size of an ordinary
dry goods box is not the life that the every.
day American cares to essay. To endure
such life for hours at stretch without
sleep or food. and to stand exposed in all
climates-such is life aboard torpedo
craft for officers and men alike. There is
no discrimination; that Is why one sees
beardless faces and slender figures behind
the coming towers when these long, three
and four-stacked flyers run into port for
coal and water at frequent intervals which
Is necessary on account of their limited
space for carrying these necessities. In the
comparatively smooth waters of this har-
Dor the torpedo boats look very much like
the motor racers in disguise, but they are
far from being the pleasure craft that the
autoboats are, and they go where the
helmsman of a motor boat would not dare
to venture.
The ocean is the place to see the torpedo
boat under way. and then life on board
the craft can be seen in It's true light.
Sticking their bows into the long, green
sweils. the spray flying above the signal
STATS forward and the solid green water
washing the low decks continually, Is but
one picture Of life on the rolling deep In
mere shell of a boat. In the harbor and
when at sea in fair weather the torpedo
boats run with matches open. the COM
handing officer stands on watch clear Of
the forward coming tower, and the crew
lounge on deck, but when the little craft
begins to roll and plunge in the seaway
the matches are closed. and barring the
stumpy smokestack. the vessels resemble
baby whales at play. 1t Is then that the
crew suffer most while All must
remain below decks. or place themselves
in jeopardy. To venture above while the
vessel is plunging about the sea with decks
awash would be extremely hazardous
Sometimes the japanese steward will es-
say to climb along the deck from stern TO
the forward hatch with a smoking dish
clasped tightly in his hands. He Is in a
race with the seas. If he reaches his des-
tination forward he Is lucky. If the seas
get there first the fishes get the food
In the event the seas overtake him then
he has to scramble back to the galley and
await another chance. This Is an amusing
incident OF life aboard to watch the stew
ard essay the trip forward in rough
weather.
Intense heat prevails below decks when
the craft Is under way. with matches closed
and the humidity Is one of the inconven-
fences to which the crew of torpedo boat
is subjected. and Is one OF the most obJec-
;ionable features of life aboard the torpedo
craft. as the heat Is oppressive and fearful
at times. with all four boilers under full
draught and ponderous engines throbbing
and pulsating at full speed of perhaps
twenty-five or thirty knots

Produce Nearly Perfect Pen.

Quite an improvement was added to the
plant by the machines for the making and
tempering of the pens. invented by John
Rendell. one of the employees of the estab-
lishment. This establishment soon pro-
duced gold pen SO perfect that 1t COM
bined the elasticity of the quill with the
permanency Of the metal. About 1850 II
was discovered that by Embedding the
iridium points in the gold instead of solder
Ing them on the corrosive influence of the
ink on the two metals. the solder and the
gold. was avoided and a frmer hold In the
pen was given to, the points.
The gold pen has been brought to It's pres
ent degree of perfection by the American
manufacturer. and the industry from its in
ception has been characterized by the use
OF American methods For the production
Of the gold pen a high degree of skill Is
necessary and only experts are employed in
the different plants.
The gold used In the making of the pens
is obtained from the United States assay
office. 1t is then melted and alleged about
sixteen carate fine and rolled into long
narrow ribbon. from which pen blanks or
fiat plates in the shape of a pen, but con-
siderably thicker than the finished pen, are
cut by means of lever press or die and
punch. The blunt nib of the blank Is
notched or recessed at the end to receive
the iridium that forms the exceedingly hard
point which all good pens possess

Melt Gold at Junction Point

The iridium is coated with a cream of bo-
rax ground in water and laid in the notch
formed in the end of the blank 1t Is then
secured by a process of sweating. which is
nothing more or less than melting the gold
of which the pen is formed so that It unites
soldidly with the iridium. The blank is
then passed between rollers Of peculiar form
to give a gradually diminishing thickness
from the point backward. The rolls have a
small cavity in which the extreme end of
the ridium-pointed nib is placed. to pre-
vent injury to the iridium. After rolling the
nib CT every pen Is stiffened and rendered
spongy by hammering.
This Is the most important process in the
! manufacture of the pen, the elasticity of
the pen depends entirely upon this opera
ton. The pen is then trimmed by press
similar to that which is used for cutting out
the blanks or by automatic machinery.
When the blank has been trimmed the name
of the manufacturer and the number of the
pen are stamped on it by means of screw
press.
The pen is given its convex surface also
by means of a screw press, the blank being
