COALING WARSHIPS AT SEA-
Sixty Tons of Fuel an Hour "n'r'e'
From Vessel to Vessel.

Sixty Tons of Fuel an Hour Wh'r'ea
From Vessel to Vessel.
How the British vessels OF war are
coaled while sailing through hea'S
seas as rate of twelve miles an noun
without hindering their activities III
any way is told in the Manchester
Guardian:
A collier packed to the matches with
coal gets into touch by wireless with
a battleship whose bunkers need to be
replenished. On sighting the veSseI
the supply ship maneuvers until 1t Is
within 400 feet of the battleship. Inc
collier then dispatches a small boat
that carries two cables, One end OF
each is attached to the masthead OF
the supply vessel. The lines pay out
as the boat advances, and when II
reaches the warship the sailors fastcn
the cables to the stern of the ship on
the port and starboard sides.
The two ships, therefore, travel in a
straight line fastened together, while
''N
deck of the warship stretches a trans
port cable for carrying coal bags
Sacks of coal that weigh ton are
hoisted from the foot of the GOLFERS
mast to a platform at its head, below
which there is a net to protect deck
hands from falling pieces of coal. by
means of wheels that run on the cable
automatic winches force the load along
the sloping transport line at Il rate OF
5000 feet minute. On reaching the
deck of the battleship the load is au
tomatically released, and the trans
porter starts on its return journey.
By means of this apparatus sixty
tons of coal can be carried every houl
across the gap of water tnat separates
the supply ship from the battleship
The great advantage is that boil
vessels can move at the rate OF
twelve knots an hour while the coalinl
goes on.

His Excess Baggage.

Though John Prentiss Poe, jr., ia
nous eX-Princeton football star, SOL
der, adventurer, and ex-private in
the United States Corps, was killed in
France on September 25, last, when
his regiment, the Black Watch, was
practically annihilated during the
British advance in the Allies forward
movement, he met the kind of death
his venturesome spirit had often pic
tured in fancy as befitting end.
Keenly disappointed at the lack Of
action he found in the Filipino Insur-
rection, and knowing that the United
States Marine Corpe offered greater
chances for excitement and adventure,
he was enlisted in that branch in 1903
by authority of the then Secretary
of the Navy, John D. Long, for the
threatened war with Columbia over
the Panama Canal strip. That war
never materialized, and since Poe
could not think of soldering" unless
there was something doing" he was
discharged from the Marine Corps
and later enlisted in the Kentucky Mi
ljtia during the Governor Goebel
shooting trouble. Even duty on the
clark and bloody ground" during
those troublesome times didn't bring
him the excitement he craved, and he
one time bitterly confded to Marine
Corps friends. 81 believe that if ever
get to He'll I'll find the fires banked"
Still in pursuit of the elusive
strife" he became a captain in the
Honduran Army in 1907, when tina.
country was at war with Nicaragua,
and during the brief struggle got
several thrills at the siege of Anapal
and the battle of Buenavista. 1t was
after the conclusion of that war that
Poe, with five other Americans, who
were serving in the Honduran Army,
became involved in some sort of trou.
BILE with the Government authorities,
and, for time, their lives were in
jeopardy. At the urgent request OF
the American Consul, the U. S. S.
PRINCETON was dispatched to the
Honduran coast to aid in bringing the
adventurous Americans back to Gods
country" and the PRINCETON'S cut
ter, on reaching shore at an agreed
point, found the Americans alive and
well and anxious to get back to the
States.
But my baggage" said Poe to the
PRINCETON'S captain, who had
come ashore in the cutter, What Of
my baggage? Please to remember
that | am an officer and gentleman II
the service of the Honduran Govern
ment and have much luggage"
We'll attend to that all right"
said the PRINCETON'S commander,
easily. "How much have you got?"
"Fifty-four pieces all told" replied
Poe.
The PRINCETON's skipper was
aghast.
"Do you think my gunboat is a
freighter, sir? However, We'll fetch
it off for you. Kindly enumerate
the pieces, and what they contain, so
that | may send sufficient small boats
and men to handle it"
Poe was deely engrossed in thought
for a moment as if trying to remem-
Der everything, and then said, Gone

pair of socks"

Blasting Ground For Tree Planting

Blasting for tree planting is best done
in the fall, because at this time of the
year it is easier to catch the subsoil
in dry condition. Blasting in the spring
for spring planting, however, is much
better than planting in dug holes, not
withstanding the fact that the subsoil
is apt to be wet or damp.
If the holes are blasted in advance of
the time Of setting the trees they are
left without further attention until

Much has been written on how to
plant a tree or trees, but if the expert
ences of scores of famous orchardists
have any weight on the topic, then the
practice of using dynamite preliminary
to planting Young trees has fully
proved its merits.

No tree should be planted over hard
pan or impacted subsoil without first
resorting to blasting, so that the soil
may be made open and porous. Such
blasting not only creates channels, in
creases absorption of soil moisture and
permits deeper roofing, but it also in
duces better growth and larger yields.
