A BIT OF NAVAL HISTORY.
Origin Of the Corps Of Professors OF
Mathematics.

m0kU0bu0SiSSs
Before the Naval academy was es-
tablished midshipmen received their
education entirely on board ship. Their
technical education was obtained in
the school vf experience. helped out
occasionally by the voluntary efforts
of the older line officers. Their gen
eral education was at first neglected,
but later Instructors were appointed
for service on ships that carried mid
shipmen. These We're appointed by
the secretary of the navy for stated
periods. much as civilian instructors
at the Naval academy are appointed
at the present time. In 1912 general
order was issued providing that they
should live and mess with lieutenants.
They We're commissioned in 1913, but
specific rank was not given them until
the general reorganization of all staff
corps during the civil war.
The late Professor II. ii. Lockwood,
u. S. n, in some very interesting rem
iniscences read before the Naval
Academy Graduates association in
1893 relates how the corps of profess
sors of mathematics came to be form
ed. In the early days of the Naval
academy he was one of its instructors
He had had service in the army, and
in the development of the course of in
struetion he determined, after consul
tation with the superintendent. to give
the midshipmen little infantry drill.

the young gentlemen of that day, and
to show their disapproval of this and
other efforts of the professor they hung
him in efiigy. An investigation and a
court martial followed on the charge
of insulting a superior officer.
The defense put up the plea that the
instructor was not Il superior officer.
Such a condition is hard to understand
at this time, when the status of Off
GERS, instructors and midshipmen at
the Naval academy is well defined, but
at that time midshipmen were officers,
while instructors had no official stand
ing The plea was technically correct,
and to punish the guilty midshipmen it
was found necessary to substitute
charges in which the anomalous posi-
ton of the professor In the navaf serv-
ice could not be made to enter. Upon
these the guilty midshipmen, were con-
demned and punished.
This incident led to an amendment
in the naval appropriation bill of 1S4S
giving authority for the commissioning
of twelve professors of mathematics

A Curious Windstorn,.

A peculiar freak of weather Is the
storm called the "williwau.' This
form Of storm is confined to that far
off island TERRA del Fuego. The coast
Is indented with deep fiords crowned
with high mountains. Down from
their gorges drops the williwau A
low, hoarse muttering is heard in the
distance. Suddenly. without the least
preliminary puff, fearful blast Of
wind drops upon the sea. The water
is not raised into waves. but driven
into fine dust. Fortunately the shock
lasts but ten or twelve seconds. and
calm follows at once. for no vessel
could stand such wind for even half
minute. During the coming and go
ing of williwan the barometer may
be watched to droS tenth of an inch
or more and rise again at once

A Simple Get. rich quick Scheme.

Take 100000 cats and get rich
quick. This is the advice Of the Liberte
of Paris to it's readers. The prescrip-
ton is quite simple. A million cats
will supply you with 100000 kittens
a year. The skins are worth little
over % cents each, so there you have
daily gross revenue of about $4,000.
To skin the cats\you will have to EN-
ploy 100 men, who will charge you 50
per fifty cats. Your net revenue will
thus be reduced to about $4,000 a day.
1t should cost you nothing to feed your
cats. Start rattery. Rats breed four
times as fast as cats so the cats can
have daily diet of four rats apiece
which Is ample. To feed the rats Is
perfectly simple. Give them the skin
ned cats. One cat will be ample for
four rats. The scheme works out SIM
ply and automatically. The cats eat
the rats, the rats eat the cats, and you
have the skins.

The Chapel Of Bones,

One Of the most interesting sights of
Malta and at the same time rather a
grewsome one is the Chapel of Bones.
Guides who show visitors round the
island never fail to point this out The
whole Of the sides, arches and about
the altar are the skulls and crossbones
of the long departed monks. In inches
round the chapel stand skeletons of
monks in their habits. On either side of
the altar stands skeleton represent

STENCIL LETTERS.
Used by Writer'S and IIuminators In
the Early Ages.

Movable characters were known to
yhe ancients. They were used in teach
ing children to read The ancients
had also stencil letters. which they
used to secure regular style OF pen
manship. They even made use of
plates, thus open cut. containing an
entire page. 1t was placed on the
papyrus to guide the pens Of children.
IAN excellent means saith Quinti
ian. ''to learn them not TO exceed the
desired PROPORTIONS" The Emperor
.Justinian (A. ID. $50 could neither read
nor write, an unexampled thing in
one of such high rank. When it was
necessary for him to sign his name
he had a sheet of gold through which
were cut the letters of his name.
Then" said Procopius, placing this
tablet on the paper. one conducted the
hand Of the prince. holding the stylus
dipped in purple on the type of the
different letters. and took away the
writing furnished with his signature
The same thing is reported of King
Theodore and of Charlemagne.
In the middle ages the illumlnatorS
and decorators made much of such tab
lets for tracing involved initial letters
and even IN a way composed entire
works. such as copies of the plain
songs, etc. A chartered abbey near
Mayence possessed some sixty of the
alphabets cut in leaves of latoun, a
copper alloy. Later these patterns
were replaced by stamps whose i'm
print is proved by the evidences on
the reverse of the page as early as
the thirteenth century. In 1888 the
monks of Fribourg published treatise
relating to money in this way. and it
seems, according to passage in Pliny
and another in Petronius, that these
stencils were used to publish figures
and designs as well.--Charles -. Hall

SUPREME COURT GOWNS.
They Are Made of the Finest Silk and
Are Quite Costly.

Are Quite costly.
1t Is said that the cut and style Of
the gowns worn by the justices of the
supreme court Of the United States are
so peculiar that it is not always posi-
BILE to have one correctly made.
The wife of former justice used to
enjoy telling of her trying experiences
when she wished to have made in Par
Is the gown her husband was to use
The gowns worn there by scientists,
scholars and students differ altogether
from those our justices wear.
In London any clerical tailor would
have understood the kind of gown de-
sired. but not so in Paris. Wherefore
after many failures, the Justices wife
gave instructions to the fashiona BILE
modiste who made her gowns. This
modiste was entirely successful in
turning out gown for the justice.
The Justices gowns, which are al
ways Of the best quality of silk, cost
upward Of 800. When the supreme
court was first organized the justices
wore quite gaudy gowns.
A portrait in Oil of the first chief JUS
tice. John Jay, now hangs in the rob-
Ing room opposite the supreme court
chamber, and in this portrait the chief
justice is represented as wearing a

How Parchment Got It's Name.

The Greeks of Pergamus are said to
have first prepared parchment from
the skins of the goat or sheep. They
were curried, deprived of all fat,
thinned uniformly by the knife, dyed
or whitened and finally rubbed down
with pumice stone to a smooth and
even surface. Called pergamenum from
the city Of its origin, the new mate
rial became parchemin in archaic

Ancient Proofreadino.

The editions of books printed 200 or
3oo years ago are almost entirely free
from typographical errors. which may
be attributed to the fact that early
publishers Were generally eminent
scholars and themselves gave much
attention to the revision of their proofs.
After reading the proofs they frequent
" turned them over to other scholars
with the request to revise and correct,
and as the printers time was then
deemed matter of small consequence
perfection was attained which is
seldom equaled by modern printers
