TINE bridge is shrouded in i'm
l. penetrable gloom. So is the
officer f-the-deck. Inky black is the
splotch of battleship ahead. Two
shades blacker is the blotch of another
in swift pursuit astern.
The fleet is steaming 'darkened' in
column.
A bell rings. The o. 0. d. never
takes his tense eyes from the rail.
"Hello," shouts a quartermaster down
the ergineroom voice-tube. Condenser
temperatures show we've run out of

"U-m-m," grunts the O. 0. D. as
though bored. But he isn't He knows
the Gulf Stream has been left behind.
The knowledge is as definite as
"Times Square!" shouted by subway
guard.
Streams of ocean currents are the
great rivers of the sea. Movement of
the water is caused mostly by winds
prevailing in one direction for long
periods Of time.
The Gulf Stream is so to $50 miles
in width and flows at the leisurely
pace of to miles an hour. 1t swings
upward along the Florida coast, is de-
fiected by Hatteras, and shoots a cool
three thousand miles to Iceland and
the British Isles. A southern branch
strikes the "Belly of Europe" as the
Bay of Biscay is awkwardIy called.
All these countries it warns.
But the American coast shivers in
the chill of an arctic current. This
frigid stream sQuirts from the mouth
Of Baffin bay and drenches with its
berg-cooled spray the rocks of Labra-
dor and Maine and the yellow Jersey
sands.
If, rs has been proposed, a mann
moth breakwater were built eastward
from New Foundland shooting the
northern current out, America would
become tropical in climate while our
English brethren built snow igloos.
In the Pacific Japan current and
one from Behring sea correspond to
the warm and cold pair in the At

SLOP CHEST

M ASTLESS battleshipS before long.
AV1 A few years hence the last rem
nant of oldtime spars will be uprooted
and laid in the navy yards to rot. Rig
ging has already gone. Upperworks
are going. Elimination of the useless
is the cry.
There is also metamorphosis. No,
that's not kind of bug. Metamorpho-
sis is change, such as dough to flap
jacks (not to dimes) mud to bricks !;
apes to men. Though the samples will
not bear too keen philosophical scru-
tiny they serve to illustrate the way
old naval customs have become so
rooted in the service that they do not
disappear even after centuries, and
when the old Roman catapult has
given way to hundred-ton breech load
ers. They merely change.
On long cruise the sailorman runs
shy Of clothing. His work suffers in
proportion to his ill-clad condition.
Shippers have recognized this mari
time maxim by keeping a slop-chest.
Aboard a tidy man-of-war any mess is
known as 'slops.' Slop-chests hold a
miscellaneous supply Of seaman's
clothing. Hence the name,
An account of the first sIop-chest
was chronicled in 450 B. G. 1t con-
tanned 1000 garments, assorted in
three sizes. The garments were ex-
actly alike and cut to fit the stern
sheets of galley slaves. Ethnologists
sometimes refer to them (the gar
ments) as breech-clouts. The largest
was nautical cubit in circumference
or nearly a life-size fathom.
Columbus gave us the next authentic
account of slop-chests In 1902. He in
cluded leather boots, woven shirts,
dirks, breeches, sea-bonnets and neck
erchiefs. He makes no mention of
wrist watches.
John Paul Jones turned the ''slop-
job, over to his supercargo or purser.
However, he got his little rake-off at
the end of tho cruise. For it must be
understood that 1900 miles and a
month out fixes a pretty good price on
necessary apparel.
Gum-boots were the greatest step
after the Civil war. Old sea-dogs put
them down as a sign that the navy was
going to HI. "The idea of tar mind

Then the Twentieth Century broke
like a typhoon over our world. A holo-
caust of progress swept away the
relics of mans past. Mechanical
genius was supreme. Only the char
red stubble of original ideas remained.
The slop-chest was one.
Now we have the Clothing and
Small Stores Room" In it our mechan-
ical Jack may procure silk necker-
chiefs, Sheffield steel knives, and hand
sewn shoes, not boots, but gloves for
his feet. The captain makes no rake
off, and the purchase record is in quad
