 Appropriating Fishermens Catches
 Marauding Expeditions on Land
 The gull is in paradise in Cornish fishing villages, and takes possession of the boats and quays and roofs of houses, and pays great attention to all that is going on with keen eye to the main chance of apropriating some thing tasty when no one is looking. Only turn your head Q. moment and your fish is gone the bird flying with it in it's powerful bill across the har- Dor. A greater thief does not live and escape punishment--it has conscient- ious objections to the eighth com mandment and whoever trusts to it's honor will be decieved.
 There is a soft place in our deep sea fishers hearts for the bird which fol- lows them in and out all the year round, and shows them in seasons the most likely places to cast their nets. The fisherman keeps his eye lift ing as he sails, and notes where the gulls fly or sweep down and strike at something in the water invisible to human sight at distance
 Often this is the only guide they have for shooting their nets; so they are friendly with the birds and love them in a fashion, and do not be- grudge them share of the spoil. Then, when the nets are all aboard, the setgull flies homeward before the boats, announcing with shrill cries the return of the men to the women, who wake and make ready.
 Fishermen say that gulls sometimes attach themselves to certain boats and bring them Tuck, following them at

During the Russian war the superb ority of chain cables was amply de- monstrated on many occasions. The vessels were exposed to the gales and hurricanes of the Baltic and the Black Sea, but whereas the memo war with these chains were able to keep thelr moorings in the toughest weather, many of the merchantmen transports fitted only with hempen ropes broke away and met with disaster. And so an ancient industry, one which in early days was almost monopoly in Dor setshipe, was placed infinitely in a sec- ondary rank No act of Parliament such as that of Henry VIII, ordaining that mo person but the inhabitants only shall make cables could bring back that prosperity to Bridport which that tG@l had enjoyed in the earliest days of England's naval glory A modern battleshi carries four main. ca bles and anchors, each costing about twelve hundred pounds. This gives her total of four hundred and fifty fathoms of chain cable.
 The earliest anchors of which we have any record were of wood, and gradually, through the iron anchor of one hook and the anchor in the shape of a rake there was evolved the an chor with the straight thick shank, the two curying arms with flattened ex- tremities and the long cross stock. The process of slowing one of these old an- chors was a. long and laborious one. It was hove close up to the capstan or windlass, man was let down by rope to hook on a huge tackle, by which the Eanchor was then hoisted, still perpen- dicular, to a stout projecting timber. Then the lower end had to be hoisted up horizontally by another tackle, and the whole made fast.
 In the modern stockless anchor a chain is attached to it at the balancing point, and this is passed through a pulley at the head of the anchor davit. When the anchor is high enough, davit and all swing round until the anchor is aver the billboard where it rests and is secured by chains

sea and resting always on the same spars when in harbor. The men feed them casually with broken fish and offal as the strut between their legs ashore, and thewy are so tame that those who know them may catch them by the wings. During the cen turies, in fair weather and in foul, good seasons and bad, our fishers and birds have linked fortunes, until there has grown up feeling of comrade- ship and superstitious regard for the silver gray bird with the half human cry.
 But on land this beautiful bird, with round, black, lustrous eyes, is another self-a marauder, a fighter, a poacher, repentance can wash away. Following the plough for worms, what more in- nocent and beautiful against the dark furrows? But, alas! contract with the soil rapidly develops all latent vices and sets the birds Quarrelling with the rocks and crows and robblng hen roosts, carrying off young chickens and unfiedged birds and killing trap ped rabbits just for the luxury of feed- ing on their eyes.
 One can hardly believe that the brave seagull riding on the pillows and battling undaunted in tempests, could ever be guilty of the inmorali- ties laid to it's charge on land-even to the petty meanness of fighting with London sparrows in St. James Park But, alas! the bill is a true one-a case of Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde in the feathered world.-From the London Daily Mail.

FIRST CHAIN CABLES.
How They supplanted the Use of
 Hempen Ropes on Warships

How They supplanted the Use of
 Hempen Ropes on Warships.
 The first man who succeeded in nak- ing a useful chain cable was Robert Finn, and he experimented with it in 1908 in a small ship named the Anne and Isabella, of three hundred tons burden. His cable was made of very short links, with no stay pins or studs says the London Globe, but it served it's purpose, and was, moreover, favor ably reported upon by some of the progressive seamen of the time
 At about the same period a lieuten- ant in the navy named Samuel Brown was also experimenting with chain ca bles made of twisted links, and this when it was duly patented, he brought to the notice of the navy board After much discussion it was decided to give Lieutenant Brown the command of a sailing vessel, the Penelope, and send him on a voyage to Martinique and Guadeloupe At his own expense he was to supply chain cables for the ship, and they were to be experimented with on the voyage. During the four months the ship was away the new cables were given a thorough trial, and proved quite satisfactory.
 When Brown had made his report a, committee was appointed to advise as to the adoption of the chain cable In place of the hempen, and as a result the new tackle was gradually intro- duced into men of war Between 1S10 and 1S11 the first chain cables were served out to the ships, but the full complement of hempen ropes was still retained. This system remained in force until 1S44, when the number of hempen cables was reduced to three, and in 1S47 a further change was or dered, two hempen cables only being retained, with four chain cables as principal mooring tackle.
