SEA TONNAGE LITTLE KNOWN
Nautical Terms That a Landsman as q
General Thing Has Small Ac-
quaintsnce With.

There is a great deal of confusion
in the public mind regarding the
tonnage or displacement" of
ships, and with good reason, for
there are four distinct methods Of
calculating tonnage. in the case Of
warships the term displacement is
almost always used. The displace-
ment tonnage is The space occupied
by the vessel in the water. The
amount of water displaced by the
ship is equal in weight to the ship
and all it contains. AS one ton is
equal TO So cubic feet of water, the
displacement tonnage is found by d.
viding the number Of cubic feet of
water displaced by 35. when the ship
is immersed up to its load line.
Gross tonnage is term commonly
applied to merchantmen. In calcu-
lating it, the whole interior capacity
Of the ship below the tonnage deck is
found, including that of all covered
in spaces on deck used for stowage,
and the result in cubic feet is divided
by 100. Net register tonnage is the
gross tonnage minus all the spaces
used for the accommodation of the
crew and instruments and the work.
ing parts of the ship. The dead
weight tonnage is the measure of the
exact amount of cargo a ship can
carry with. safety.

VILLAGE OF CHESS PLAYERS
Game Has Amazing Popularity in
strobeck, Saxony, Where Ali In
habitants Are Proficient.

Strobeck, a small Saxon village
not far from Halberstadt, is prob
ably the only place in the world
where chess is taught in the schools.
There, however, the children carry
their game boards through the streets
inst as many youngsters in Ameri-
can villages pack their states be-
tween home and school.
Chess in Strobeck is just as much
a study as is reading or arithmetic.
Young and old, men, women and
children alike, study over their
chessboards day in and day out.
Games may be seen in progress in
the homes, in the gardens and in
public gathering places at almost
any time.
The reason for this practice is
somewhat clOuded. But, according
to an old legend, which doubtless
holds some elements of fact, the GUS
tom originated in the eleventh CEN
fury, when Bishop Buko of Halber-
stadt took refuge in the town after
being exiled by Henry ".
As the story goes, he lived in an
old tower, which still stands today,
and spent his time teaching the vii
layers the game of chess.
Regardless of whether this is true,
chess as played at Strobeck is quite
different from the modern game, and
conforms closely to rules known to
have been followed as early as the
fifteenth century.-Popular Me-
chanics.

MUNITIONS BOARD OF OLD.

There was 10 some extent a
parallel to the new ministry of mu-
nitions in the old board of ordnance
which dated back to the reign of
Henry VIII and lasted until the
Crimean war. 1t was separate gov
eminent department, responsible to
parliament alone for ITS work and
expenditure. 1t had at its head an
official called the master general of
the ordnance. who was invariably a
distinguished soldier. Marlborough,
wellington, Anglesey and Hardinge
figure in the list of masters. The
work of the board was divided among
responsible officers who dealt with
fortresses, barracks, armamcnts, am
munition. etc. And the existing
