The poultice is a barbarous relic Of

It is a soggy, unsavory, germ infested
instrument Of torture. Clapped upon

his skin with the germs that cause
pimples and boils and makes. him un-
bearably uncomfortable and unhappy.

MANNING THE STATIONS.
Discipline Aboard Ship at Sea In
Times of E~rneruencv.

- 700 L - TTTT- U1WfTAhTt rI" IS l
Discipline Aboard Ship at Sea In
Times of Emergency.
At no time Is the perfect organiza-
ton aboard ship so we'll illustrated as
In the time Of an emergency. The
slightest scent OF danger in the wind
must find every man ready. And
every man is ready. Every man has
a number. Every man has a station.
A bell tap may send your dining room
steward off at a run just when he is
serving your soup. At the bell tap, he
Is no longer your steward. He is
l"No. 49, In the ships emergency or
ganization, and when he gets to his
station he finds Nos. 81, As, 2S6, lit,
24S and some others there to act with
him like a. machine. Aboard a big
ship there are sometimes as many as
sixty stations about the vessel, and at
the sound Of an alarm bell thirty Sec
onds have not elapsed before every
man has responded to his number at
his station and is ready to act, to fight
FIRE, to man the lifeboats, or what not.
Up in the wheelhouse is further ex-
emplifcation Of what system will do.
Within reach of the officers are q
dozen c%ontrivances of machinery that
connect with every part Of the ship.
A touch of one lever closes a bulk
head in this or that compartment Of
the hold, a touch Of another mans all
emergency stations, a lever here mans
lfeboat so-and-so, and a lever there
mans any one or all. Here is a tele-
phone, its wires extending to every
part Of the ship, and an officers voice
carried to a distance station in the
bowels Of the ship Is SO magniaed
by mechanical mean that It can be
heard twenty feet from the receiver
and fairly bellows its orders.
"A sailor or steward never knows at
what minute, day o. night, he may be
called to his station. At the sound Of
the signal bell he must be at his post.
There is a drill Of some kind every
day aboard ship, but the men never
know whether they are running. to a
real fire or only a drill. Boats are un-
covered, falls overhauled, davits swung
out. Every boat must have its COM
pass, night signals, fresh water and
provisions ready for immediate action.
From the chart room the captain can
start a squad in the most remote part
of the ship simply by pressing a but
ton. and the flashing Of tiny electric
lights faithfully record how every de-
tail Of the drill is being carried out.
A chart gives the location Of all bulk
heads, and a tiny light sparkles when
this or that water tight compartment
is closed. In case of a collision every
bulkhead below the water line is closed
by a turn of a lever in the wheelhouse.
