SAILING IN PURSUIT
 OF ATLANTIC GALES
vEsPUccI HAS REGENT AMERICAN PoRTs--LEssON FOR AMERICANS IN THE SAILORS

ths most important and useful functions of the training ship is to revive 1t and keep 1t alive. There is not the opportunity to go to sea that there once was and when uncle Sam needs men for his navy he must take those whom he can get. whether they have been sailors previously or not, rather than try to find room for those who seek his service.
 How can a man know what the sea means" an old naval officer asked the other day, If he has never had a real taste of it. And the true sailors life is the life of the square-rigger or the fore-and-after, not of the express greyhound with the triple expansion engines. That's where man gets. the salt into his blood-on the ships with sails; and it's the salt blood Tn the veins of blue-jacket that keeps him in the service and makes him worth most while he's there"
 It is this same trouble. the officers of the Amerigo vespucci say, that the Italian Government encounters when its volunteers come from the vineyards or the mountains. It is of great value to young midshipmen' in their training as officers for their Kings navy to get actual experience In navlga- tion; but it is even more necessary that those who have lived in cities or in one Of the big villas on the hill slopes, should learn the moods of the ocean and should be accustomed to meet them without fear and in the spirit of exultation that was one of the attributes of the old-time mariner.
 There is a certain inspiration about Uncle sams training ships that the newly built steel vessels of the Italian auxiliary can not have The Hartford the most famous of them ail perhaps. as Admiral Farraguts old flagship. is 6 wooden frigate of modest tonnage and low speed. Like other craft used for training apprentices and landsnen' though she has steam power she depends mainly on her canvas for propulsion when cruising. man must be a sailor aboard these craft; he must learn the ways Of the sea as they are known by those who are at the mercy of wind and tide without steam and electricity to help them. He who gets his schooling this way keeps 1t forever; to him comes the fascination Of life on the wave" that never lets go or him He is the artificial substitute. as It were of the merchantmen of former years to whom the navy could always turn in time of need But he can never be the real. bred in the-bone sailor who is out Of ms element when he is ashore, and the old time spirit of the navy can only return with the return of the merchant marine.

and on one occasion received a bullet in its breast designed for the Czar by the would be assassin Solovieff In spite of this wound the mechanical Gear continued to smile and salute with contemptuous indif- ference
 As Reuters correspondent reported. ''so far from evtncing the slightest alarm. the Czar continued to salute the crowd on either side smiling as ever; nor was his drive In any way curtaiied.~ It was naturally sumed that the assassins bullet had failed, and when the news of the Czar's miraculous deIiverance had gone abroad a vast crowd flocked to the Winter Palace and cheered vociferously until the Emperor appeared on the balcony and repeatedly bowed his thanks Thus. once at least.

Boston, Mass, April 1.-Somewhere on the broad Atlantic, steering her course day by day to meet the fiercest of the spring gales is the Italian training ship Amerigo yes pucci which recently visited Baltimore ana Boston as the two American ports included in the annual cruise of the 'middies" from the naval college at Leghorn. Indeed It is the chief purpose of the annual cruise to seek out boisterous weather that shall give the young naval officers experience "i.h the sea at its worst; and 1t is because con ditions of this, sort are to be found Tn the North Atlantic better than any of the other oceans, particularly during the spring sea son, that an American voyage Is taken
 The Amerigo Vespucci Is one of five ships in which the Italian Government trains US officers and seamen for its warsnips' She and two of the others are in the service or the naval college: for the volunteers who enlist as seamen there are two smaller Ves- sels which never go far from their nome port. These vessels are not very unlike those the United States maintains for siml- lar purposes, while the necessity for their maintenance and the way they are employ ed are much the same with both Natlons'
 It seems strange that the country which brought forth the famous old explorer In whose honor the Amerigo Vespucci IS named, and the still more famous mariner to whom the discovery of America is cred tied, being seemingly land of great sail OTIS. should find the need of supporting an expensive system of education and training to keep up the personnel of its navy. It is no more strange, however. than that America. which once upon time ooasteo some of the greatest seamen of history perhaps, should suffer the same need AS one of the officers of the Vespucci express ed it during his recent visit to Boston, Tne American sailors are the best in the world but they are so few" And in these days when the psychological aspect of everything is considered some curious reasons are set forth to account for the present state or affairs besides the one great reason of the weIl-nigh complete disappearance of Ameri- can commerce. carriers. from which the old-tim tar graduated to a friEate or ship of the line
 There has been no cooling of love for the sea on the part of the American boy. but there is not the chance to satisfy it there used to be. So. as Americans have allowed foreigners to take away the business or their merchant vessels, the race of Ameri- can sailors has begun to die out and one of
