The city Of Reading intends to increase he
efficiency of the manual training department of
her schools. The head Of the Boys Department
of the High School has Just returned from trip
abroad where he has been examining the latest
methods of manual training To the credit Of
the professor it is said that he paid his own cx-
penses His trip entailed no expense upon the
city. The benefits of his journey will soon be
evident in the operation of his department of the
Reading schools. The unket OF the professor.
at his own expense, is different from iunkets
often taken by other city officials. The junlets
OF the latter are made at public expense and if
the public derives any benefit from the informa-
ton gathered on any Of these trips, the public
can never figure out what that benefit is.

the young lieutenant killed in the ex-

The second ship in the line Of Commo-
dore Dewey's feet as it steamed into
Manila bay was the famous old cruiser
Baltimore. which is now being dismantled
and refitted at the Brooklyn navy yard. She
had previously been under the command
of Capt. Schley, at the time when her
sailors left her to go ashore at Valparaiso
Chile. when the riots ensued which almost
involved the United States and that coun-
try in war. At Manila bay, however,
she was commanded by Capt. Nemiah
Mayo Dyer. now a rear admiral retired,
living at Melrose. Mass
Capt. Dyer was born at Provincetown,
Mass. and was the ninth in family of
ten children He was a spirited lad who
loved adventure and fun. He was not a
graduate OF the Naval Academy, but
served in the merchant service from the
age OF fourteen to twenty. and after
serving in the Massachusetts volunteers
was appointed an acting masters mate
in the navy in April, 1862, and soon found
his way to the west gulf blockading
where Farragut a year later
promoted him to acting ensign and gave
him command of the Eugene. afterward
known as the Glasgow. on dispatch and
blockading duty around Mobile. Admiral
Dyer was later on the old flagship Hart
ford under Farragut. and following the
war was finally assigned to the Ossipee
as lieutenant commander. While the
Ossipee was proceeding north from the
Mexican coast, she encountered hurri-
cane which left the sea In troubled
state, and in the morning. while making
a sail. a man fell overheard from the main

Dyer was on the poop deck taking an
observation, and, Immediately turning
into the sea and saved the man from
drowning. For this he was officially COM
mended in special dispatches from the
Secretary of the Navy and by the COM
mander-in-chief. and upon his return re-
ceived medal from the Massachusetts,
Humane Society.
After the war Capt. Dyer advanced
rapidly. reaching the rank of rear ad-
miral in February. 1901. on the date OF
his retirement from the service at the age
of sixty-two.
Capt Joseph 3. Coghlan- who died De-
cenlber 5, 1908. was in command of the
Raleigh, the third in the battle line at
Manila. and at the close of the engage
ment reported to Admiral Dewey: This
vessel at the close Of the engagement is
in as good condition as when 1t began,
and without any preparation could have
fought it over again."
Capt. Coghlan was the chief character
in the International incident known as
the won Diedrich affair" which for
few days promised international compli-
cations, and which was made far worse
shortly afterward by the publication of
verses from the pen Of the Yankee cap
tain entitled 'Hoch der Kaiser" by
which soubriquet and that of 1.-THE Man
Who Made the Kaiser Famous" he was
known until the day of his death.
This lyric, which caused the German
ambassador to call at the State Depart
ment, was delivered by Coghlan at din
ner Of the Union League Club in New
York April q. 1899, when the commander
recited the incident between Admiral
Dewey and the representative Of the Ger
man admiral at Manila bay in reference
to stopping ships bearing German flags
during the blockade. At the conclusion
of the speech Coghlan recited his verses,
as follows:
Der kaiser das fatherland.
IND Gott nnd all dings command

Vile some men sing der bower divine.

right to first place in the manufacture OF
jewelry by really new methods
For the past 200 years or more noted
scientists have spent fortunes and the
best efforts of their lives to discover
how the ancient Egyptians metalized OBJ
jects so that they kept every detail of
their natural beauty.
The nearest that came TO the original
art was that of depositng metal on closed
or partly closed surfaces. merely coarse
way of plating or covering with metal.
This depositing process was first discov-
cred in 1903 by Luigi Brugnatelli, an
Italian. who found that by means of cleo
trio baths certain objects could be plated.
This process of plating or depositng was
merely a coarse covering. which destroy
ed all the beautiful lines of nature and
did nothing which could not be made by
hand as well.
The first attempt at metalizing large
objects was back during the years 1861

Capt. Charles Vernon Gridley was a
native OF Indiana, although he was ap-

as member of the now famous class of
1859. which included the late Rear Ad-
miral Coghlan. Rear Admiral Charles D.

He became an ensign Immediately after
graduation and was attached to the old

on board that vessel during the battle of
Mobile bay. Dewey himself was at Mo-
bile bay and the careers of both men were
closely associated from the date of Far
raguts victory in August, 1864. until
Manila bay.
The heroism of Capt. Gridley at Manila
bay has been retold SO often that every
schoolboy knows how, weak with his last
illness, he stood unfiinchingly in the con-
