Pelican and Flamirqo.

The hook of the peican's bill Is red
and undoubtedly the fable that the
pelican feeds its young with blood
from It's own breast originated In the
birds habit OF pressing the bill upon
the breast In order TO more easily
empty the pouch, when the red tip
might be mistaken for blood Another
explanation Is that the pelican became
confused with the namngo. which
discharges into the mouth of It's young
secretion which In color resembles
blood

NAVY THEN AND NOW
THE DAYS OF WOODEN SHIPS
AND sMoorH.eoREs.
Just 40 Strongly a. In These Days
American sailors Were Conf.
dent They Could Whip
Any Other Nation.

Lieut.. Commander Il. A. Anderson,
on recruiting duty. recently described
his naval experiences to newspaper
men Of Cincinnati, and showed the
great change which has been made
within his experience. Few Of the
men In the navy to-day realize the
great difference Of everyday condi-
lions Of naval life.
with our old wooden ships and our
smooth-bore guns we felt we could
lick the whole world when l entered
the navy" said Lieut.. Commander
Anderson. "All the ships In our navy
were wooden at that time. with the
exception Of few monitors. The Eu-
ropean squadron consisted Of the Pen
sacola, Kearsarge and the Quinne-
baug. Admiral Dewey was captain Of
the Pensacola at that time. It makes
me feel like am an old salt to call
to mind the kind of ships and guns we
had In those days. There were 25
men to gun crew then. and 1t re-
quired all Of them to haul the old
smooth-bores about.
After they had been fred the men
had to haul them back inside the ship
to reload. Then they had to push
them out again so the guns could be
fred. 1t required about Ave minutes
to pivot gun from one side to the
other. when training 1t on some OBJ.
ject, and l don't know how long 1t re-
quired to load one Of them. Well do
! remember our brOadside batteries Of
old nine-inch smooth-bores. Why,
when we got our first rifled guns. two
six-pounders, we again thought we
could lick anything afoat. We used
them for some time for firing salutes
only. Our old ships were rotten. In
those days we used large hemp ropes
to counterfeit the recoil u the guns
after they had been fred, but to-day
we have the most modern recoil ap.
paratus known to naval experts.
II can remember very we'll that
when the navy department prepared
to construct what was known as The
White Squadron. consisting Of the
Chicago. the Atlanta and the Dolphin,
now the secretary Of the navy's yacht.
there was the greatest protest from
some authorities because they were to
be made OF steel instead of wood.
With our old vessels we thought we
were fairly flying when we steamed
four knots an hour on speed tests.
Our engines were forced to their ut.
most capacity to make that speed,
guess, for our decks danced ~ and
down at frightful rate. And our am.
munition-it makes me laugh when
think Of 1t. We used to hre away at
targets widh our old nine-inch smooth.
bores over what are now short ranges.
We could hit the mark all right, and
we were proud OF It, But 1t Is anus.
ing now to think how our shells
would turn and twist and roll while
making their flight. They didn't look
anything like our modern shells, which
make their flight In the same position
as that in which they lie In the gun,
business end foremost But those were
good old days."-The Blue Jacket.
