TO PROTECT STEEL VESSELS
Composition Applied to Bottom Only
After Ship Had Been In Water
for Month or Two.

Some years ago. in q paper before
the Institution Of Naval Architects Of
Great Britain, Mr.. A. c. Holzapfel
stated that the best method for insur-
Ing the protection Of new steel YES
sells was to launch them without paint.
and to apply composition only after
the vessel had been in the water for
month or two. and the mill scale
had worn OF. The steel training ship
'Exmouth," which was built several
years ago. received no paint whatever
before she was launched. and after a
month or two, she was put in dry dock
and given four coats Of first-class
paint. After being five years afloat.
the bottom was found to be in a per.
feet state Of preservation. with very
little rust at the water line, and only
a little grass and slime covering the
anti-fouling composition. which was
found to be in thoroughly sound
state Of preservation.

sleepy Indian children, and the chill

time the rabbit got away from the
wildcat by getting for him feast OF
wild turkey meat. And the old people

was down and the darkness had filled

Then the rabbit skipped over to the
turkeys and said to them:
Come with me and see what have
found-the wildcat, our enemy. is dead.
Come with me and we will have a
dance around his dead body" And the
turkeys went strutting and peering
after the rabbit until they came to the
place where the wildcat was lying and
pretending to be dead.
Now for the dance!" said the rab-
bit I'll get q stick and beat time

around the wildcat"
And 30 the rabbit began to beat
with his stick and sing: ga lagina

means. Pick out the gobbler. pick out
the gobbler!" And the turkeys asked

"Oh." said the rabbit, 'it's a song
the wildcat used to like to sing-now
wen sing 1t to him. Everybody dance
fast now, and dance closer and closer
to the dead wildcat"
So they all danced In closer and
closer.
Now hit the wildcat as we do in
the war dance" said the rabbit. And
as they danced the turkeys hit the
wildcat, but he did not move. Finally.
the biggest gobbler kicked the Wild
cat, and Just then the rabbit struck
the ground hard with his stick and
shouted out as loud as he could: "Pick
out the biggest gobbler!" And then the
wildcat Jumped up quick and grabbed
the biggest gobbler and ran of to the
best supper he had ever had.
And ever since. when night comes,
the wild turkeys have gone TO sleep
up in the trees at night, where the
rabbits can't find them. Ever since,
too, good rabbits have always come
