deck just peeping above the water. When the
sea was calm and the sky was clear the sun
beat down on the metal and the men who had
stood the night watches and were trying to
sleep suffered more severely than do the
people in the crowded back tenements in New
York city on a hot July night when death
walks through the streets. An officer who
served on a monitor during the Spanish war
told me that the average temperature for a
long period of time in his cabin was 104 de-
grees.
Recently two young officers not long out
Of the naval academy were forced to resign
from the service because they were constantly
seasick while on service on the battlesnlps.
The young fellows stuck it out for several voy-
ages, but when 1t is remembered that a seaslck
man as a rule is SO sick that he is perfectly
willing to die, 1t can be understood what these
young fellows suffered during the weeks OF
the voyaging. They resigned from the navy
simply because they could not be OF any serV-
ice. They were sick from the moment the voy-
age began until they were back once more IN
port. They were competent officers and since
their resignation they have been given land
berths as officers Of heavy artillery in the
United States army.
| asked an old naval officer recently, a man
who served on the old frigate Constitution, II
he knew of any cases of chronic seasickness
among officers and men during the Old days
of the service. He said he knew Of only one
case. that of an officer who developed seas1ck-
ness after some years Of service, but that 1t
was thought that a slight injury to his spine
had affected his stomach and that 1t was this
more than the motion Of the vessel which was
the cause of his ailment. .
This same veteran officer said that there
is considerable seasickness today in the navy,
although comparatively few cases that could
be called chronic, and that they were due, he
believed, more to the heat of the modern steel
vessels than to the motion caused by the
waves. In the old days of wooden ships with
sail power only. there was no heat on board
except that given out by the galley and by the
small stove which occasionally was to be found
In the captains cabin. The old-time ships IN
winter were kept in warm climates as much as
possible or otherwise the men would have
frozen TO death.
The old wooden vessel. jamestown, once
commanded by Commodore Perry, who opened
the ports of Japan to the ommerc of the
United States, is anchored in Hampton Roads.
where it is used as a marine hospital service
station. A surgeon stationed on the jamestown
once told me that In the old days, when the
vessel was In commission the only way the
captain could warm himself without going to
the galley was to have a roundshot heated In
the stove, then dropped into a bucket Of sand
TO be carried aft to his cabin, where 1t gave
out Just enough warmth to temper for a few
moments the cold of the quarters.

K BY A A

Extraordinary excitement has been caused
among the peasants in the neighborhood of
Kiltimagh, County Mayo, this week, by a
series Of what are described as miraculous hap
penings at the convent there, a Dublin CORE
spondent Of the st. Louis Democrat
writes.
Among the children who are being educated
by the good nuns of Kiltimagh is a girl Of
thirteen, who has been an inmate of the con-
vent school for the last three or four years.
She is described as extremely docile and af-
fectionate and more than usually religious. A
few nights ago one of the nuns was awakened
by fearful screams from the dormitory where
the girl slept, and on going to her she was told
that the child had had a terrible dream, in
which she saw Christ on the cross and a SOL
der driving a lance into his side.
The nun comforted her and she went to
sleep, but in the morning she complained that
her arm was sore and on examination 1t was
found to be marked with a cross in red and
underneath the cross were the letters Il. H.
S." A few days later a crown of thorns ap-
peared below the cross and the letters Il N.
R.. L." and these were followed by the appear
ance of a chalice surmounted by a host in
red. The marks have been examined by the
parish priest. Rev. Father OHara, and by DR..
Madden of Kiltimagh, who vouch for their be.
ing there, but decline to express any opinion as
to their cause. It is said that during the doc
tors examination the stigmata bled freely. The
nuns maintain stoutly that the child had no OPP
portunity of inficting the injuries, If injuries
they be, on herself, and I understand arrange
ments are being made for a thorough investiga-
ton Of the mystery by a committee of &c
clesiastics and medical men.
Another case illustrating In another way the
credulity which still is to be found in some
parts of Ireland has just come to light by the
prosecution at Granard Of an Australian who
had been travelling the country extracting
money-not teeth-from country people who
are afflicted with toothache. Thomas Herman
said that the man told him he could cure him
bv extracting the nerves of his teeth and that
when he consented to undergo the treatment
the man took an instrument like a long
needle. picked at his teeth awhile and then
laid what looked like a little white caterpillar
on his sleeve, saying this was the nerve and
that he would never suffer from toothacne
again.
OF course. he did suffer. and when be went to
a medical man for relief and told his story he
learned how he had been swindled.

He called in his first lieutenant and said: Il
have here orders transferring you Immediately
to Vermont. You have done a noble work here.
There is no reason why you should stay longer.
You have been through enough of this awful
thing. Co."
Bell said: Captain, l don't want the order.
If l read it I suppose l shall have to obey simply
because it is an order. You keep it In your
pocket until the fever is over and then I'll read
it and go"
Langdon shook hands with him.
Bell went on with his work. In a few days
he felt the hot hand of the scourge on his brow.
He went to his tent, pulled up his little camp
table and wrote an official letter to the assist
ant adjutant general at headquarters of the de-
partment of the gulf, Holly Springs, Miss. 1t
was a long letter, covering many pages. There
was In Bells heart that day the fear that he
might die and leave undone an act of duty to
others. He cherished the thought of the loyalty
of the surgeons and the enlisted men who had
so nobly performed their duties to the sick and
dying, facing the fever and death itself without
f%1inching. He mentioned in this official COM
munication each doctor and man byname, recon-
mending them for recognition at the hands of
the department. OF himself he said nothing,
his whole thought vas that recognition should
be given to others.
Lieut.. James E.. Bell put down his pen, went
to the hospital and in three days was dead.

Captain Underwood was for two years in
ommand of the United States government sta
ti6n in the Samoan islands. He was consid-
cred one of the handsomest men in the service
of his country. He was over six feet h1gh'
finely proportioned and a fine physical speci-
men generally. No war with man went on in
the Samoan islands, but the heat and the food
and the devilishness of the climate generally
did the work of the battlefield. II Captain
Underwood had never been given an assign
ment at the Samoan islands 1t Is probable
that he would have continued in the active
service until the age limit of sixty-two years
was reached. The dangers of warfare are not
the only ones by any means that navy and
army officers are obliged to meet.
1t may do no harm here to recall the story
of the heroism of Lieut.. James E. Bell of the
United States army, who died because of his
devotion to duty, died at a time when no bull
lets were flying, but when an even deadlier
foe of necessity must be met. This story has
been published many times, but it has it's ever
lasting lesson.

the first announcement of the appearance of

and children and some of the married men to
an island three miles away. Within a day or
two he sent to the same place nearly all the
well men Of the garrison, retaining only
enough to nurse the sick. There could have
been no criticism of Bells course had he gone
with the garrison, leaving the sick to the care
of the surgeons and the nurses. He stayed and
devoted himself to the sick in the hospital, as
sisted by the men who had volunteered. The
