In a Circle OF Blue Sea, Are the
Delight Of Native and
Traveller.

II is in Bermuda as perhaps no
where else that the sky is soft and
blue, and a gentle breeze laden with
the smells of the sea beach comes to
you through cedars and across fields
of lilies. You have started out early
on your bicycle, say, and determined
to see something of the islands.
II all the stories you have read of
the islands are true, there is much to
see. OF course, you have looked over
Washington Irving's essay in which he
tells of the Three Kings who were
wrecked on these islands and found
a huge mass of ambergris, quarreled
over It, and two we're about to fight,
when the third hid the weapons. The
treasure was confiscated by the COM
pany which then owned the Islands,
so that when their ship called, the
three kings were none the richer for
their contested wealth. You have
heard of Tom Moore, the poet who
spent much time here, and who had a
house in Bermuda which is still point
ed out to the visitor. You have heard
of the lagoon across which the singer
rowed his boat of an evening to call
upon his lady at the other side. Then
there are all those stories Of how Sir
George Somers first drifted ashore on
the Islands that up to that time had
been spoken OF in whispers as inhab
tied by wicked spirits whose chief JOY
was to wreck the little vessels that
winged thither. Back 20 Shake

AND THE EFFORT TO OVER
THROW THE PRESENT SYSTEM.
Opponents Among the officers Of the
Navy Anxious to Have a Re-
organization OF the
Service,

There has existed in the navy for
many years a more or less open an.
tagonism to the bureau system of the
service, but it was only recently that
this widespread mutter of discomfort
reached the open cry of revolt As a
result OF II there was an investigation
at the hands of the senate naval com.
mittee, which led to nothing, but which
went to prove the statement. so long
maintained by so many of the service,
that the bureau system has become so
interlocked with politics that there is
no separating the two.
But the matter would not down. and
last summer there was notable gath.
ering at the Naval War college in
Newport, congress composed of
every available navy officer whose
duties permitted him to attend II was
a concession to the critics, but its con.
clusion was as lame and impotent as
was that of the senate investigation.
The senate inquiry and the Newport
conference were the direct result of Il
series of attacks which had been di.
rected against the bureau system by a
number of naval officers These were
not disgruntled over any private griev.
ances against the bureaus; they were
not malcontents i'm the general accept.

ment of the service.
Nor is II to be supposed that the in
dependents, as they have been styled,
have been alone In their attacks on the
bureau system. As long ago as 1885
the late William c. Whitney, who was
then secretary of the navy, pointed
out the faults of the system in a re.
port that is still regarded as the most
clear, specific and rigorous arraign.
ment of the system that has yet EN-.
ployed type. With characteristic ener.
gy he then concentrated his efforts to
obtain remedial legislation.
The present distribution of authori
ty shows that there is no legal provi
sion for any technical officer upon
whom would devolve the responsibility
of the military efficiency of the navy
its preparedness for war, the sole OBJ
| ject for which it is maintained.
It is insisted that all congress needs
to do to perfect the existing admins
istrative system is to reestablish the
missing balance wheel that was re

Queer tastes In the caroIInas.

During the exposition in Charleston
one of the many colonies in North
Carolina came here with Gov. Aycock,
says the News and Courier. He was
very fond of ice cream, and at one
of the most brilliant receptions of that
period asked for pepper and salt, with
which he declared IL had always been
his habit to eat his cream. That was
something new under the sun in these
parts, but as the Erskine college man
says, De gustibus non disputandum'

Fahrenheit brought to the chancellor

in registering temperatures that they
were considered marvels. All scien-

now one of the three accepted stand

Prussian, but after his fifteenth year
he lived long life in Amsterdam. His
great skill in working In glass en-

II the same amount of effort eX-
pended on the horn to get people to
move out of your way were used to
move the steering wheel slightly so as
not to seem to bear directly upon the
person in front, and If you should
steer around wagons in the road, as
nine times out of ten you must do in
the end, rather than blow and blow
the horn in vain effort TO get them
to move, much less friction would be
caused and the speed increased. l

sketches hangs in the library OF Mr.
