rraIninn cunners for Sea.

When England trains her gunners
for the sea, she sends them to Whale
island in Portsmouth harbor. Here
the entire island is given over to steel
sheds, which are built like gun turrets'
on battleship. The great guns pro-
jecting from these sheds are dummies,
as Popular Science shows, though they
are exact counterparts of those on a
battleship. The prospective officers
and men are made to go through the
exercise of range finding, loading, aim
ing and firing these guns as rigidly
as If they were in a real battle at sea.
The heavy steel projectiles are hauled
from the magazine by hydraulic and
electric cranes just as in an actual
ship. A real breech mechanism locks
the projectile and its powder charge in
the gun, while an intricate swivel
mounting of steel swings the gun into
firing position.

Pay. Pray and PEG Away.

In Long Island village there used
to be and still is group of people who
thought a good deal of each other in
spite of what they said, whichswas
frequently of an unsympathetic ma
ture, according to the New York Sun.
The group existed under various self
imposed names and had semi-humor-
Gus motto which ran, "Pay, pray and
peg away"
All the members of this little asso-
citation are still alive, kicking and
good-natured.
Now seems an apt time to suggest
that their motto be made public and
urged for more general adoption.

1t might be supposed that any car

established firm whose speciality 1t Is
to make such boxes.
1t is a thriving business, and one
which has profited rather than suffered
through the war, for the institution OF
flag days and other means of collect
ing funds has led to an enormous in
crease in the demand for boxes.

TORTOISE FISHERY IS OLD
One of Least-known Industries in
America Operated for zoo Years
From Cape Hatteras-

One of the oldest and least-known
Industries in America is the porpoise
fishery, which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras, in North Carolina, for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries is
urging more general use of porpoise
hides in place of cowhide. 1t is an
excellent leather and could undoubt-
edly be used more widely, says the
Baltimore American.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct of the fishery, has been the oil
which is extracted from the jaws Of
the porpoise and is worth about $50
gallon. 1t is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very
delicate mechanisms. The body blub-
Der is also valuable. Attempts to
manufacture fertilizer out OF the car
casses have failed because of the dis
lance from fuel supply.
The porpoises are taken at Hat
teras in seines operated from the
shore, and Ii is probably the only
place in America where this has ever
been successfully done. During the
fall, winter and spring many por-
poises are seen off the South Atlantic
coast and at Hatteras they come with
in a few hundred yards of the surf.
They are taken by spreading seines
about 200 yards outside the surf line
AS soon as the porpoises have come
inside the seine it is dragged ashore.
Often a whole school of these sea crea-
lures is taken in a single haul.

Katherine Haldenan. The difference
in station between them prohibits
marriage, but the King promises
Count Ferdinand that his marriage
with the girl he loves shall take place
as soon as he has demonstrated the
success of his submarine. Katherine

sometimes built more than 80 feet long.
