DIFFICULT TO STEER A SHIP.
Man at the Helm Works with the Cur.
tains Tightly Drawn.

The work OF steering a great ship,
even with the aid of all the machinery
Is much more delicate than one would
imagine. The larger and faster the
ship the greater is the difficulty. It is
not enough to hold the wheel in the
same position to keep the ship on her
course. for the wind and waves and
the currents of the ocean tend con-
stantly to knock the ship off her
course. The great wall of steel-for
the hull may be 700 feet long and go
ieet high-offers broad target for
the wind and waves.
The art of steering Is to humor the
ship to these forces and when she is
detected to bring her back quickly to
her course. If you could watch the
pinnacle, especially In bad weather,
you would see the needle of the com
pass constantly shifting from side to
side. which means that the great
steel Prov is not going forward In
a perfectly straight line
The most astonishing thing about
the bridge is to find the wheelhouse
with all Its curtains tightly drawn,
as often happens. and the man at tho
helm steering the boat without see
Ing ahead at all. At night or even
by day. If the light of the b.nnacle
Is confusing, the wheelhouse Is often
completely shut in. The man at the
wheel, 1t is explained. does not need
to look ahead. The lookout high up
In the crows nest" and the officer
on watch on the bridge will keep him
informed If any object is sighted The
duty OF the man at the wheel is to
keep the ship on her course. Through.
out his watch of four hours he must
keep his eyes on the compass and no
where else.-St Nicholas.

are made to order, and the cheaper

Yesterday was one Of the briefest ses-

Stock Exchange. II was not for lack

Of sales. II was due to the fact that
brokers had made up their minds to
keep out Of the market temporarily, while
affairs were clearing up in New York.
Consequently, after the filing of a few
orders at fairly good prices, the list was
hurried through, and the business Of the
day done.
