Naval Engineer and "Rant.u

Rear Admiral Charles w Rae, en-
gineer in chief of the United States

ton ito the critical condition Of en-
cheering in the navy"
If the Engineer Corps had devoted
as much time to the increase and bet
torment of their branch of the SER
vice as it has to .scrambling for rank
the critical condition of engineering
in the navy" would not now exist.
In these days only the interested can
tell the. difference between a rear
admiral commanding fleet and a
rear-admiral commanding an engine
room. The thing is simply absurd and
even ridiculous and uncalled for, and
has led to much confusion.
We should think an engineer officer
would be proud to bear the rank which
indicates his profession rather than
that of another branch of the service
and sail around on ship and shore un'
der false colors. They should have
q rank name that could not be mis-
taken even by the most obtuse lands
man, and be proud of it. For years
this rank business has been a bone OF
contention in naval circles, and has
engendered more bad blood and i'll
feeling than any personal matter thai
has affected the service. The talk OIL
rank and the greed for rank have
wrought much mischief in the navy
A sailor should be known as sailor
and an engineer as an engineer, no
only as to qualifications, but as t,
duty to be performed both in uniform
and in title.

as much, and even more money In
in this country than there was in Eng
and. All his little capital he put
in the necessary waters and brought
them to this country. He started OUT
in a modest way. with only his own
cart, but. before the end of the hrss
week, the cry, "Ice Cream Sand

the East Side that he had dozen men
working for him and as many more
eagerly awaiting the chance. :
But the proprietor's supply OF wal.
ers was running low and he could not
get them in this country. That was.
perhaps the reason he made his lot
tune, fer his agents could not secure
these essentials without applying to
him. He began. then, to import them
regularly, and all that summer nardiy
a vessel came to New York from Eng
land that did not bring its quota Of
cases of ice cream sandwich waters.

what was going on and all the hockey

What a Protocol is.

The exact nature of a protocol,
which Is a necessary preliminary to
the signing of treaty of peace, is
described in the Law Times. To the
end that an enduring memorial may
oe preserved of the results of each
discussion as the negotiation proceeds
the several resolutions arrived at are
recorded in document called a pro-
locol-a word better derived from
Hprotokollon," the first leaf glued to
the rolls of paprus and the notariai
accounts on which the date was writ
zen. The protocol OF the subject un-
der discussion, II specially import
ant, is generally signed by the nego-
tiators themselves. The record thus
made of the effort to arrive at an
agreement has, of course, no bind
ing effect in the negotiation as whole.

Small Boys Trick.

The irrepressible small boy made a
discovery this morning that proves
one of two things, either the tnechani=
cal man in the window Of d North
TETON street store is of real flesh and
blood, or else tears can be made to
flow from the eyes of a wax figure.
1t all happened about noon in the
presence of quite crowd of people;
and the twelve-year-old lad who
wanted to find out for himself whether
the figure was alive or mechanical. re-
ceived a shower of nickels and dimes
from the spectators who witnessed the
incident
The mechanical marvel' was going
through his stunts when the boy in the
case showed his way through the crowd
until he stood close to the window. He
gazed for moment, and then a cum
ring smile played about the corners of
his mouth.
"Ah, gee, dat guy amt no dummy
he's a real Teller. Say, Jimmy gimme
yer lookin' glass; and withdrawing to
the middle of the street, the boy took d
small mirror and flashed the strong
sunlight in the "dummy's" eye. When
the first reflected rays struck him the
figure iii the window WINGED slightly
but the long practice of facial control
stood him in good stead and the eye
did not wink. Presently, however, the
sunspot began to burn, and in less than
thirty seconds the eye filed with water
and overfiowed.
And had not the mechanical mans
attendant appeared upon the scene at
that moment there is no telling how
the incident would have ended. He
carefully helped his charge from the
window and the show for the time be-
ing was at an end--Colorado Springs
