UNCLE SANS NAVAL EXPERT.
one Who Does Nothing but Play With
Toy Battleships. :

Toy Battleships.
In a long, low building down near the
river in Washington there is man
who plays with toy ships on a toy
ocean And as result Of his play he
can foreteH exactly how the big battle.
ships of the United States navy will
behave in storm at sea, and he can
predict to nicely how much horse
power win be needed to drive the
great transatlantic liners laden with
their passengers and freight. He does
this before even the keels Of the ships
have been laid down.
He is naval constructor in the
United States navy, and the toy ocean
on which he works is the United States
experimental model basin. The sheet
Of water in the basin is 500 feet long
and fifty feet wide, with maximum
depth of fourteen feet
But in this limited space the naval
expert, working with wave maker, q
dynamometer, towing bridge and
other apparatus, can solve all the me-
chanical problems connected with the
construction Of ship, its probable
roll when struck by giant waves and
the horsepower needed In its tremen-
dous engines to drive it through the
water. He works with wooden models
twenty feet long. Some Of them weigh
1000 pounds, none Of them more than
1000. The other countries of the
world use parafine models, but he
works entirely with the miniature
ships Of wood.
The drawings and plans Of the bat
tleships to be built by Uncle Sam are
turned over to the constructor by the
navy departments bureau of construc-
ton and repair. In little shop adj
joining the building which covers the
model basin the models are made and
painted Bags Of shot, each weighing
twenty-five pounds, are kept on hand
to bring the model up to the CORE
spending weight OF the big ship. The
final tests are made in the .'toy ocean"
near by. Popular Magazine.

Familiars That Are Born and Dwell In
Our lmaginations.
Real men and women are not the
only people. Our minds are inhabited
as truly as any other country. Every
child has his invisible playmate, to
whom he talks more freely than to his
parents and with whom he goes upon
strange adventures tiny Columbus

is three years old, bent upon an excur.

across the brook in the field or in the

II you are the father or mother Of
this child you never can understand
that how the timid baby who was
never before out Of your sight could
have gone so far alone. Why, when
you found him, stained with his trav-
els, very tired, almost nodding, he was
still confident, preoccupied and bent
upon a further pilgrimage into the I'M
known. It is because he was not
alone. He was accompanied by an
other whom he knows better than he
will ever know father or mother, one
Of those companions of his own fancy,
about whom he never tells you or any
one else.
These people grow up like other peo-
pie. The little child has his familiar,
and the young man his his ideal" al

nor even the one he might have mar
ried, but one whom he never saw in
the flesh, yelled and inscrutable
presence who never forsakes him. And

did marry grows old she remains young,
