MIDDIES IN THE MAKING.
Naval Cadets Learn to Splice Ropes,
Furl Sails, Etc.

II is probably not generally known
how the United States government
trains the youth upon whose shoulders
viii rest the responsibility OF main
tanning the high standard of the Navy,
says Mrs. Charles II. Miller in les
lies Weekly His apprenticeship is
not unlike that of any other young
man learning a trade; the fnndame n
tai principle being the proper kind of
tools-wben and how TO use them.
midshipman' tools, so 10 speak,
are ships, thus rendering thorough
knowledge of seamanship an essential
part of the training. This begins
with lessons in splicing hemp and
wire rope, after which the Young men
are given practice in handling sails
on the indoor mast in the seaman
ship building, which is an exact
counterpart OF the mizzenmast of the
training ship Severn and is ~ feet
in height.
The midshipmen go aloft. furl, reef
and set sails, etc. lin fact, go
through the entire seamanship drill.
A net is spread at the foot of the mast
for protection, as a fall on the con
crete floor would be far more serious
than ON the deck Of a ship. Acct
dents, however, are infrequent. Drills
on the Severn begin early in the
spring and continue throughout the
cruise, which lasts from June until
September.
The midshipmen thus becomes ac-
customed to ship life. The work is
hard and the discipline severe during
these drills. There is little tendency
TO shirk duty, and the future admirals
do everything on shipboard, on deck
and aloft, even to clearing up the deck
and slowing away the ropes. Each
an starts in with a practical sea-
mans duties, and as he continucs
his course is advanced to the duties
of the petty officers and later TO those
of the junior commissioned officers.

RESULT OF THE CAVE IN.
New w, B. And A. Electric Rail
way Kills One.

Every new enterprise costs NJ least
one life, oftimes many lives. As the
result of a caVe-1n of several hundred
tons of earth in a 40-foot cut on the
new Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric railway, near
Kestler's Park, Westport. one man is
dead and four others seriously in
iured, while the 65-ton steam shovel
is wrecked.
: The dead man is Antonio l.ohresto.
thirty years old, an Italian laborer.
He was caught under the shovel and
mass of earth and instantly killed.
He had been in this country only q
few months and leaves widow and
four children in Italy. Three other
men are badly injured.
The accident occurred in the cut
through the Maryland avenue hill at
Westport and directly under the An
napolis road, where the new line
crosses that thoroughfare. The cut
is about forty feet deep at this point
and runs through deposits of clay and
sand. A gang of about fifteen work
men were preparing To move the large
steam shovel to new position and
were working at the base of the 40
foot bank of sand and clay when,
without moments notice, the mass
OF dirt fell.
Craneman Pyles and the engineer
in charge of the shovel were the on
ly ones who saw the impending dan
ger and, as the bank swept down ON
them. shouted to their fellow work
men and leaped to the opposite side of
the cut. The engineer escaped un-
hurt, but Pyles was buried up 10 his
armpits and bruised. Those who es-
capped injury Immediately began the
work of rescuing their less fortunate
comrades and after half an hour
hard work Craneman PyleS was re-
leased from his,perilous position.

of che coming day are extremely
beautiful as dawn gradually disap-

The second act represents the court
yard of an old Spanish castle of Moor
ish and Arabesque design. 1t is one
of the most massive and colossal of
scenery ever constructed, having prac-
teal porticoes and verandas, on which
several people are grouped in artistic
poses and pictures. The dastle is
used as rendezvous by Captain Care
