around the deck.
Personally Jack has a love of betting. Gambling
amounts to a passion with him and at the pig
athletic events a considerable sum OF money Is
ant to change hands. But Jack doesn't CONNIE
himself to big events, for as one AIT says ho
bets at the drop of a hat.
He carries his propensity for wagering to the
possible destination of the ship, whether ne
will have salt or fresh water in which to wash
his hammock, and a thousand and one things be-
side. You see one OF Jacks duties is to give his
hammock a thorough scrubbing once a fortnight,
and sometimes when the vaporizers that turn salt
water into fresh fail to work he has to use salt
water for the purpose.
Every minute of Jacks day has a correspond
ing occupation for him, and from reveille, when
the bugle's Il can't get 'em up" penetrates to
every part of the big battleship. until taps is
sounded the sailors life is a busy one. First OF
all Jack arises at 5 80. His first duty is to turn
to and wash down decks and slick up things geh-
orally. Mess gear comes at 7:15, which interpret
ed means letting down the tables for breakfast.
Then comes pipe down" for mess. This Is a
long drawn note on the bo's'n's whistle.
Mess lasts half an hour usually and then fol
lows the call for colors, quarters, prayer and
drill, and before he knows it Jacks morning is
gone and it is a quarter to twelve, when dinner
time has arrived.
Stand by, scrub and wash Clothes" is the
next order from the bo's'n. and this comes at ten
minutes past one. This arduous duty over, there
is drill until 4:30, when the bos'n calls Pipe
down clothes If dry" for meanwhile Jacks
clothes are swinging on the line. Now the
smoking lamp" is lit and for a while Jack is
lost In contemplation of the delicious weed.
Lighting the smoking lamp is one of the pic
turesque customs that have come down from the
old navy and at this time the men are privileged
to enjoy their pipes and cigars. In earlier years
the smoking lamp, an ordinary copper affair, was
brought up from below decks at stated intervals
during the day, and 1t was the signal to Smoke
up" but while in more recent years the actual
operation has been abandoned the term remains.

shares with many other persons the
superstition about the number thir-

One Of the newest amusements
provided for the sailors Is the
moving picture show, and this
they enjoy hugely. The films are
rented for the most part, though
the navy recently bought a e
which Mr.. Edison took depicting
the life of the sailor. This is very
popular. How often exhibitions are
given depends on the weather and
where the ship happens to be. II
in port where the men a get
ashore, there Is little need Of spe-
cial recreation. But If on a cruise
or the weather is bad, then the
movies are given two or three
exhibitions a week. Apropos OF
this feature Capt. H. B. Wilson OF
the North Dakota Is considering a
plan to introduce the Kinemacolor
pictures soon.
Another innovation which Cap
tain Wilson Is also responsible Tor,
according u ray ldSIci ~
the setting aside of one OF the gun
compartments on the ship as a
reading and writing for the
sailors. Though small, 1t is a
great boon to them, for now they
can write comfortably at a desk In
stead Of on their ditty boxes. More
over there are provided between
thirty and forty magazines with
two or three copies each Of the
daily papers, SO the sailors, when
at leisure, can pass the time
ing if they SO elect.
