adventure of it predominant. 1t tells
the tales of many seas and the wonders of
many lands 1t tells the living wonders of
the sea and the wild animals of the tropics.
John Burroughs takes the sailor boy Camp
ing and Tramping with Roosevelt, and
Mark Twain takes him abroad with his
"Innocents" He visits Venice and Calcutta
and Hawaii with many writers, and reads
the histories of ports where his ship calls.
But finally he browses into the land of
fiction, where he finds that the Diamond
Dick" and mick Carter" of his youthful
reading have given place to the yarns of
Frank R. Stockton and Richard Harding
Davis. And, strange to say, he finds new
delight in these tales and is led on to others
more serious and ambitious.
A casual glance through the list of books re-

Irving with his limpid yarns. Kipling goes
forth with his Captains Courageous Lon
don with his Sea Wolff; and Lorimer with
his Letters from Self Made Merchant to

to "Graustark and even Frank Norris in

leads him through the ever young Ivanhoe,"
and Stevenson gives him many Island

mind; and ben Hur" stirs him to thoughts
of heroism. He grasps the types of his own
countrymen in David Harum" and 1.-The
Virginian, and goes with Jules Verne

In the end he falls in with Victor Hugo and
Thackeray, and suddenly finds he is fully
educated. He has made habit of reading.
Members of the crew are not allowed ac-
cess to the ships library. The officers are,
however, allowed to take from the shelves
of the men, and it is one of the secrets of the
navy that these are thumbed above decks
vastly more than are books that are officially
deemed fittest for such thumbing.

VALUE OF THE WATER PAIL

IN the face OF all Improvements that have
been made in fire fighting apparatus, the
fact remains that the ordinary pail of water
even at this date, is considered to be one OF
the most efficient means of extinguishing
fires in use.
Insurance statistics, indeed, show that
more fires are put out by water pals than by
all other appliances combined. The only
point that can we'll be raised against them is
that, while they are generally provided abun-
dainty enough in places where they are
needed, an adequate supply of water is likely
to be wanting.
1t is true also in a measure that even
when the pals are kept full they are often
borrowed for some other use and not re-
turned; so that often when most needed they
are unavailable. As way out of this diff
Guilty, it has been proposed to use pals with
round or conical bottoms which cannot
stand on a floor. and SO are not likely to be
taken off to be used for other purposes. But
this form seriously diminishes the value of the
pail as fire eXtinguisher, since a man with
two of them in his hands, arriving at the
scene of the fire. cannot use either. without
setting the other down and losing all its con-
tents
As an improvement on this, a superin-
tendent of one of the big New England mills,
VINO naQ 1OunQ IL Ql1Ilcult TO keep the IRE
pals full and in good order, notwithstanding
repeated instructions, adopted the following
interesting expedient:
The hooks carrying the pals were fitted
with pieces of spring steel, strong enough to
lift the pail when nearly empty, but not
sufficiently SO to lift full pail. Just over
each spring, in such position as to be out
of the way of the handle of the pail. was set
a metal point connected with wire from an
open circuit battery.
So long as the pals were full, their weight,
when hung on their hooks, kept the springs
down; but as soon as one was removed, or
had lost a considerable portion of its con-
tents by evaporation, the spring on its hook
would rise and, coming in contact with the
metal point, close the battery circuit and
ring bell in the managers Office, at the
same time indicating on an annunciator
where the trouble was As the bell would
continue to ring until the weight of the de-
linquent pail was restored, it was impossible
to disregard the summons, and no more rea-
son was found to complain of the condition
of the fire buckets.

the panic among the stock gamblers, and
how Morton and Slade were said to be saw
ing the situation.
7'You don't tell mel" he broke ous "And
how's Mr.. Larrabee?"
"a ruined man." l answered him, glumly
enough. They've backed him to the wall,
though he fought gamely."
"Now, that's too bad!" said the doctor
"He was good sport. Even Spanish Dick
says So" And with that he told me how the
old fiend and his bag of a mother had showed
up again, three months later, having drifted
a hundred miles in the Fortunes longboat
before being picked up.
Here the doctor cooked his eye at me
again, and l said, There's some things it's
just as well to leave out. Maybe the hands
set them adrift; but we'll leave that out"
And SO he told me the rest of the story
Spanish Dick and his mother were back in
the cabin on the peak of Skull Island, having
had hard time getting passage home.
Every ship refused 'em on the ground that
they were Jonahs," said the doctor.
Presently, over drink, we were talking
about the cruise after the treasure.

doctor, looking into his glass. Helped find
it, and then helped lose it! WE'LL WE'LL"
And he laughed. Il wonder what Larrabee
would say if he knew put the boys up to

stopped laughing and said, If you see him,
tell him I've berth for him among the lime
trees

pened after we took the Fortune back to
New York.
MR.. LARRABEE was on the mend,
AZ though the inventors death on his
hands made him gloomy man. But he had
no time to mend; for his enemies were as
sailing his railroads and other holdings So,
sick man that he was, he stuck to his desk
and fought them.

Ships,-live readable libraries,
such as are likely to arouse in the tagging
minds of indifferenty educated marines a
desire to browse among things that are put
down in books.
Battleships have always had libraries; but
they have been given no special attention,
and the same books have remained on the
shelves year after year. Now an overhaul
ing of these libraries has been inaugurated.
Every year the men are to be allowed to dis
card one-third of their libraries and get in
its stead an array of books in large part of
their own selection.
There are two libraries on each ship. The
ship library, for exclusive use of the officers,
is almost entirely scientific; but the crew s
library is for the men. It's object is enter
tainment and stimulation for their minds.
1t revelS in stories of adventure and popular
fiction.
Everybody who has seen parade of ma
rines has been impressed with the extreme
youth of the rank and file. They are mere
boys, eighteen, twenty, twenty-five. They
are the average American boy, perhaps a
little better physical specimens than most,
for they have passed severe physical ex
animation. All have the rudiments of edu-
cation; for this is also required by the en-
trance examination. They are at the forma-
tive stage of their lives. They are to be two
or four years in the navy, and then, in many
cases. go to other occupations. The depart
ment is endeavoring to put in their way
such books as will rightly affect the forma-
tive mind and leave its imprint upon the
man. Yet it realizes the error of offering
these youngsters anything that approaches
sermonizing. 1t simply would not be read.
1t intends to bait its blue jackets with the
most fascinating tales the market offers;
induce them to read something, that they
may be led to read much.
With this in mind a schedule of books
has been prepared for the new battleships
North Dakota and Delaware, and the scheme
for replacing parts of the libraries each year
is being inaugurated. A glance over the list
of eight hundred books that are to be placed
on the new ships offers temptation to the
layman booklover to enlist in the navy and
surreptitiously burn midnight electricity.
To be sure there are few scientific books
in rather popular form, which tell of engineer
ing and mechanics, seamanship, gunnery,
