SHIPS ARE HANDLED.
Every Member Of Crew Has Certain
Duties to Perform When in Ae-

Aid of Range-Finder.

WashingtOn.-If a visitor were to
go aboard one Of our modern war
ships one of the first things he would
ask to see, probably, would be the big
guns.
Should the visitor request, an ever
willing bluejacket would crafty the
visitors wish.
But the visitor Is not conscious that
he is an object of much amusement to
the man-o-war's men. There are
things to be seen that the average
civilian never dreams Of, and his
amazed glances when these are point
ed out to him cause the lips Of the
gunner to run up smile.
Suppose you wish to see one Of the
big guns. You ask the nearest g,;n-
ner. He doffs his cap and asks you
politely to excuse him for a moment
while he obtains permission to show
you into the turret where the big gun
is mounted. This permission he gets
from the officer OF the deck.
He returns quickly and asks you to
follow him. The only entrance to this
turret from the main deck Is through
a. manhole. II you are portly, the
chances are that you'll not see the
gun after all, for these steel manholes
weren't designed for fat persons.
But. taking it for granted that you
are thin, you finally find yourself in
side the armored walls. You turn
about expectantly and are face to face
with the death-dealing implements.
There they stand, silent and grim,
twin engines of destruction, peaceful
enough In repose, but terriblo when
manned by their human masters.
The members of a guns crew are
numbered and each man must not
only know his own duty, but also that
