One of the naval Golfers. now an
chored in the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
has recently been equipped with an
extremely sensitive hydrometer which
determines the weight of the ship at
glance. The hydrometer, which is
the invention of an Italian engineer,
is placed exactly amidships. SO SEN
sitive is this apparatus. even when
installed on a steamship, that it in
dicates the effect of passenger step
ping aboard or ashore. The new de-
vice is especially valuable In weigh
ing the amount of coal taken aboard,
and may be expected to figure largely
in the collection of tolls in the Pan
anna canal.

| In sword AND sash and scarlet coat.
| Upon Christmas day,
Through frosty woods and hoary fields
/ She watched him through the falling
snow,
A young and lovely maid,
| In milky pearls and flowing robes
OF velvet green arrayed.
With rumors of the distant wars
The months went slowly by,
Till once again the Christmas bells
Were pealing to the sky;
And, walking in the lonely wood.
A bush the maiden found
With thorns as sharp as little swords,
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And wove a wreath TO wear
OF scarlet berries. bright and gay,
And set it on her hair.
And 10, the pearls upon her breast
Were changed to berries, too
And, rooted to the oak, q branch
OF miStletoe she grew,
Ring out Ger vale and hill

In pearls and velvet still,
And with her in the reves ruled
