CHANGES IN FIGHTING SHIPS.
United States Naval Designers Have
Recently Made Number OF
Improvements.

The principal changes are the re,
moval of bridges, the taking out OF
the old military masts and the sub
stitution for them of the new circular
latticework masts for carrying the
fire-control platforms. The after
bridge and its associate armored sig
nal tower have been removed and the
forward bridge has been greatly cut
down. The extensions of this bridge
now SO arranged that they can be
quickly removed in time for battle,
the captain of the ship being hence
forth compelled to take his station
within the coming tower, where ne
properly belongs. By the removal OF
the top hamper it will be possible for
the captain to command the horizon,
except through that arc of it which is
shut out by the smoke stacks, says
writer in the Scientific American.
This change will remove one more
of the picturesque and popular cpl
sodes of the earlier days of sea fight
ing. The captain will no longer fight
his ship from the flying bridge and
in the open. The coming tower was
built for him, and a due regard for
the issues of the battle demands that
he remain within it. 1t was the
death of Admiral Without, of the Care
witch, that threw the Russian line into
disorder in the great sortie from Port
Arthur, at the very time when the
chances of shaking off the Japanese
seemed favorable. The captain of one
of the battleships in that fight told
us that the admiral was struck by a
she'll as he was leaning with folded
arms upon the railing of the bridge
watching the Japanese line. That
| shot also wrecked the coming tower,
| it is true, but the latter was of de-
| sign which would not be considered in
| our navy.
In addition to the removal of top
hamper, the whole of the accumulated
layers of old paint throughout the
ships is being removed; and in future
with a view to further reducing
/ weights, no ship will be allowed to
| carry an accumulation of stores be-
yond the regular six months supply
As showing the absurdity of the state
ment that the structural changes men
toned above are being made in order
to bring the "deeply-laden ships" uI
to lighter draft, it may be mentioned
that when the alterations are com
pleted the draft will be only from
three-quarters Of an inch to liz
inches less than before.

Drinking Cups Of the Ancients.

Silver cups made by such famous
workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor,
were preferred to gold cups. They
were beautifully engraved and of
workmanship which has never been
equaled. When gold cups were en-
riched with precious stones, they
sometimes became peers of the en-
graved silver vessels.
OF all sizes, shapes and designs
were these drinking cups, and their
value was measured more by their
form and design than the material of
which they we're made. Some had two
handles. some only one and some none
at all They were large and small
low and tall. narrow and oblong. They
were purely the product of the vary
ing fancy of that prodigious age
which seemed to scorn uniformity.
The early Greeks and Romans
drank hot water from cups, as we now
drink coffee and tea, these beverages
being unknown to them. Coffee orig
mated with the Assyrians, and tea
| was first used by the Chinese at {
very early age.-National Food Mag

HIS KINDLY HEART

HIS Mantle of Kindness Even Spread
Over That Presidential Enemy OF

L
ever knew" said Col. Calliper, was
an old friend of mine named Jonathan
Saglow, who lived at one time in
Storkville Center, VT. He couldn't
bear to see pain inflicted on man or
beast, and any sort of cruelty filled
him with great indignation.
con Mr.. Saglow's place there was
a little bit of swamp land which he
had never drained and which fur
nished breeding place for what
suppose were the greatest and fierc-
est mosquitoes that ever grew, but
Saglow had no screens on his porch
Or windows. He did have some once
on his porch but he took them down
the next day after he put them up.
People hesitated to call on the
Saglows in summer on account OF
those mosquitoes. There were mos
Yuitoes, sure enough, elsewhere in
Storkville Center than around where
they lived, but none quite so big and
ferocious as those that grew in Sag.
lows swamp.
"Then one day, to Storkville Cen
tres great establishment, Mr. Saglow
was seen putting up screens around
his front porch; the next day, to its
still greater establishment, he was
seen taking them down, and Mr.. Sag
low wasn't man that everybody
could run up to to ask the why's and
wherefores of anything he'd done, but
Dne day in a friendly mood he told me
why he had taken down the screens
the very day after he had put them up
"He admitted freely that that one
night they had had on the porch with
the screens up had been most comfort
able for them all; that to sit there
and not be bored into by those giant
mosquitoes had been an experience
that they had all greatly enjoyed; but
what he saw in the morning when he
came to look the screens over by
daylight prompted him to take them
down Immediately.
Sticking through these screens. all
over, all around, everywhere, he saw
mosquitoes broken off beaks-you can
judge what sized beaks they were
when / tell you that those screens
were not very fine meshed-big beaks
which mosquitoes had thrust through
the netting in their efforts to get at
the people inside, and which had be-
come wedged there and been broken
off when the mosquitoes had beaten
up against those screens and how
many had stuck their beaks through
and still been able to get them out
again nobody could know, but here
were "a broken off beaks still stick

Nov most people, you know, would
have found a sort of savage joy in the
contemplation of those broken of
spears and in the thought that sc
many giant pests had thus been
made innocuous; but not so with
