MIDDIEs' SUMMER CRUISE.
An Annapolis Event That Ranks Ahead
of All Others,

An Annapolis Event That Ranks Ahead
of All Others.
When vacation time comes around
the military cadets at West Point go
into camp, but each year when the ex-
aminatious are over at the United
States naval academy at Annapolis the
middies go off on practice ship on a
summer cruise To the future admi-
rails, who are now naval cadets. this
cruise is an event in the academic year
uneaqualed by any other.
There are today on ship of the new
navy more comforts than could be
found on any of the old wooden YES
sells, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat- There is now no reefing of sails
or box hauling Ship the triple
screws and quadruple expansion en-
gines have done away with that. while
the Dahlgren shell gun has given place
to breechloading rifles.
After the cadets have embarked and
everything on board is shipshape the
practice cruiser starts out. Going down
Chesapeake bay the days are chiefly
spent in drill. and the vessel comes to
an anchor every night. But when the
capes have been left behind and the
open sea is reached there is new or
ueT OI ne just llf>S
blueiackets, are divided into the star
board and the port watches, and one
of these must be on deck all the time,
four hours constituting a watch.
All day there are constant exercise
and drill below and aloft-boat drill,
sail drill. handling spars, exercise with
big and little guns, practical navigation
and working ship. Every phase of a
sailors life is illustrated. and no mat
ter how rough the sea may be or how
hard the wind may blow, the cadet
must be aloft and work side by side
with the jack tars.
When the cruiser has been out three
or four weeks it is customary to put
into some northern resort. where the
cadets spend some pleasant days on
shore during their stay. and the change
is greatly enjoyed by them
After this little rest they put to sea
once more, and for several weeks buf-
fet the ocean waves or broil under the
hot sun that blazeS down on the CheSa-
peake.
Near the end of August Annapolis is
reached, the crowd of bronzed and
sturdy youths rush ashore, and the
heXt train bears laughing, rollicking
middies to their homes for thirty days
vacation. When the time has expired
they return to Annapolis and resume
their academic life.

Saving the Banks Funds
By TESsIE FOY cOYNE

- was in the olden time when Il
traveller between Denver and
Laramie must go in an old fash
loned stagecoach. There was one
season when the coach was robbed as
often as once week Passengers knew
that there was one chance in seven OF
being held up on the road and travelled
with little or no money on their per-
sons Nevertheless there was no other
way of transporting valuables, and
sometimes persons were obliged 10
take great risks.
1t was necessary for me to go through
to Laramie on important business /
found in the coach young lady and
two miners This generation cannot
realize the high position of women in
that uncouth country at that period.
AS rare and beautiful birds are pro-
tected by game laws. so were the few
women always safe in the chiyalrous
sentiment of the many men.
OF course we all soon got acquainted,
the miners, who were of rough eXte-
rior, leaving the young lady to me.
The chief topic of discussion was what
we would do in case of Il holdup- One
miner said that he had 500 in dust in
his hip pocket, with Il revolver. and
would draw the revolver first The
other miner had $50 hidden under his
shirt. and if required to surrender it at
the point of Il pistol he would certainly
do So The young lady. who was going
east to spend the winter. had her ticket
and some small bills in her pocketbook
the rest. four 800 bills, concealed in
her hair / confessed with equal frank
ness that all 1 had brought with me
was in my vest pocket and if 1t was
taken / couldn't help it.
Sure enough, the holdup came The
| first we knew of it the coach came to a
stop and the door was flung open from
the outside. Half Il dozen masked mer
stood IN the road with rifles cooked
and ready for use while another held
their horses. The man who opened the
door ordered the passengers out and
to stand in line to be searched l was
first examined and relieved of some
$50 in my vest pocket. The miners
came next. The man with the revolver
in his hip pocket had no opportunity to
use it. for we all stood hands up lie
and his friend We're both plundered.
The robbers We're rather pleased to find
more than usual and after politely
wishing us a pleasant journey We're
about to permit us to go on when one

eS on the ground, which are cleverly
intwined and often hidden among the
stems of growing plants, in which are
laid four or five eggs. Until mid-July
the male bObolink is Il faithful sentinel
of the bird home, driving away such
intruderS as he can and especially
those of his own kind.
The song of the house wren is full
of music and cheer. The wren loves its
nest and mate and makes friends easily.
Among the fighters, tiger birds, no
larger than the American sparrow. but
many times as pugnacious, are the
only living things feared by the royal
Bengal tigers of India. Gathered in
fiocks of thousands, they search out
the ferocious beasts and give them bat
tie in their jungle strongholds- The
tigers only escape from his flying foes
is to get into his cave or lair.
MARVELLOUS FLIGHTS
Bird flight is an interesting side of
ornithology. Birds fly astonishing dis
tances. The golden plover is one of
the most remarkable travellers in the
bird kingdom. 1t passes northward i'll
May to its breeding site around the
north pole. The eggs are laid on
cake of ice in June. and six weeks
later the old bird and the chicks start
south. They loiter along slowly until
they reach Labrador, where they make
stand for some weeks, feasting on
crowberries and becoming very fat.
Suddenly all the plovers in Labrador
rise as by signal and make for the
sea. The route is now over the broad
Atlantic, 400 miles from land, south
ward to tile Bermudas, over the gulf
through Venezuela and Brazil, across
the entire continent of South America
to faroff Patagonia. The journey COM
pleted, the weary, emaciated travellers
rest for two weeks before starting
upon the return trip. The route north
ward is wholly by land, over the
Andes mountains, up the Panama
country to the coast regions of the
gulf in Texas and louisiana The
northward journey to this point is
made with the most astonishing speed.
SPORTS OF THEIR OWN
There is evidence showing that birds
have their sports. and in America there
is one family of birds embracing sew
eral species which really dances. The
| dances of the grouse are not mere hop
ping and prancing about, like the
cranes of Europe, but rather they have
| figures OF the dance. rules and meth
| DDS. If one be student and lover of
| the birds, he will know that he has
stumbled upon the dancing floor of the
grouse. Generally the space is almost
square. and it varies in size according
to the number of grouse that are in the
| vicinity
Parrots and cockatoos vary the mon
otony of their lives with various play
things, being attracted particularly by
| objects that glitter, such as bits OF
jewelry- They will play with such an
article by the hour and resent inter
| ference Lories, favorite cage birds OF
the parrot family, play with one an
other in comical ways, hopping side
ways in circle with droll gestures and
nodding their heads, rolling over and
over, shaking hands and indulging In
many other gambols.

Then the two sparrows were put in

of their adopted canary song disap-

People, as a rule, indulge in no such
suppositions, accepting of natures gen

course. And yet if our song birds
should suddenly become extinct
strange void would be felt in the gen.
eral scheme of things. 1t is the glori-

The study of birds is known as or
anthology. Ornithologists discovered
long ago that many birds are ready
learners and expressed the opinion
that the feathered tribes could be train
ed in song and speech. Remarkable
results have been accomplished. Star
ings are well known as birds sus-
ceptible not only of learning to whistle
simple melodies, but as rivals of par
rots in reproducing with great distinc-
ton short sentences. Canary birds
have frequently been recorded as learn
ing to whistle simple tunes, and there
are a number of well attested accounts
of their reproducing with precision
short sentences. Jays, crows and mag
pies also can be taught.
BIRDS AS IMITATORs
Few people know that only wild
birds, hand reared from a very early
age. are educated by man in Song and
speech. The catbird has been taught
to mimic the chirps and trills of its
companions, bluejays have been taught
to reproduce the song of the cardinal
so well that the listener is deceived,
and European jays have learned from
cockatoos to say, ..how do you do.
pretty Polly?" and a number of whis-
ties and calls. Marked success has
attended experiments with the imita-
ton theory. 4 few observers have
heard wild birds initiate the barking
of dogs and mechanically produced
sounds, such as the creaking of a
wheel, the filing of saw and the like.
