The Way They Crash Upon the Nor.
NAL Quiet Of the City.
With all the water traffic and with
not horse or a cab or a wagon to
wake the echoes, the utter silence of
Venice is the thing that first impresses
the traveller. Yet because there Is no
undertone Of city noises in which occa-
sional noises may merge the Grand
canal at Venice seems 70 the sleeper at
night the noisiest place in the world.
for every little noise crashes into
ones sleep. and the most wakeful
hours of our six weeks in Italy were
spent on the Grand canal in Venice.
The bells of the churches probably do
not ring louder nor more frequently
than they ring In other cities. yet be.
cause Venice is so still these bells
ciang through the night like the alarm
Of a continuous and ever increasing
FIRE. The bawl of iovelorn human

a throbbing heart a noise that may be
heard by the attentive listener any

Venice becomes insistent and demo
niacal. The common quarrel in the
street enters the bedroom at night
with nerve racking distinctness. and
the morning song Of the market gar
dener bringing his wares to town In
his silent boat smites the sieepers
ears like a call to arms. If Macbeth
really did murder sleep. the crime was
done In Venice.

ODD JOBS ON WARSHIPS.
Many Ways For the 6luejaekets TO
Make Extra Money.

The possible methods of making ex-
tra money on shipboard are manifold.
authorizing Is one of the most prof
liable. While a ships tailor Is detailed
to most of our ships, his duties are
limited to making necessary altera-
lions In the uniforms which are issued
to the members of the crew. Many
enlisted men own sewing machines,
upon which they do repair work, and
they also do odd jobs for officers, such
~ pressing and cleaning. A handy
man with the needle can also make
handsome sum by doing fancy work.
Some of the most delicate embroidery
work has been done by sailormen.
The ships barber also makes COM
Portable living In addition to his regu-
Iar pay, and the distribution of prizes
ut target practice enriches the Golfers
Of the gun crew by a considerable
sum. Men who are detailed to duty
% board submarine boats are allowed
IN additional IS a month and besides
81 a day for every day the boat is
submerged. Bluejackets detailed as
signalmen. as cockswains OF power
boats or In charge OF holds are al
lowed extra pay. A crew messman re-
eeives IS a month for performing that
somewhat menial function, and the
man who is not ashamed 10 take in
washing can easily double his navy
pay. Every bluejacket is expected TO
perform the laundering himself. but
there are always men who prefer to
nay for having the service done.
One of the novel methods Of earning
al honest penny Is for a man with
descriptive knack- usually a yeoman-
to prepare an interesting letter upon
the cruise of the ship or some Of the
strange ports visited. the honors paid
