RULE OF THUMB NAVIGATION

New England Sailors Stick to Sextant and Care Little for New-Fangled Nautical Instruments. Edward Hungerford, who made an Investigation for Everybody’s to find out where the men are coming from for our new,merchant marine, relates some interesting incidents showing the New England sailors* independence of new-fangled nautical instruments. “Ask them about navigation,” he writes, “and they will bring out, with loving care, the sextant -that was father’s or Uncle Jim’s or, more likely, grandfather’s or one of the great-uncle’s. They will point out the vernier scale upon its bright face and say Jo yonlandlubber that you are: “‘She shoots the sun. With IL.we get the latitude. A chart and the latitude —a lead line and jedgement—jedgment counts —and we can get anywhere between the Bermudas and Greenland? “ ‘How about the longitude?* yon venture. “‘You certainly are a landlubber. The salt lets you know that, with a single glance.’ Then he shows compassion and relates an anecdote: ‘"There was a fellow sailing out of Gloucester and someone gave him a chronometer —that’s the Instrument the scientific fellows get the longitude with. They explained it to him, an’ for three days he sailed by it—God knows where to. Then the dinged thing busts an’ he comes back to the sextant an’ gets to the banks only a little behind the rest of the fleet But if that chronometer hadn’t busted, by Judas Priest, stranger, he might have hit over in Portugal somewhere.’"

PINES FOR OLDTIME ORATORY

Writer Declares That Modern Speak* era Fall to Satisfy Our Long* Ing for Language. What has become of the old-fashion-ed orator, the old boy who made the well known welkin ring? Modern speakers don't satisfy our longing for language. We remember at least three orators of the old school. One of them, at a funeral oration, spoke of youth and age. Said be: “Springtime's brightest green must fade and pass away to be replaced by drear Decern* ber’s somber hues." Another, telling of a visit he had made to the place of his birth and boyhood, told of looking into a spring around which he had played as a child. He said: "When last I looked into its mirrored beauty I beheld the smiling face of a happy boy crowned with a mass of golden hair. Now I behold a broken old man, halting down the western hill of time, and on his brow there is the snow which no summer’s sun can ever melt” The third of our favorite orators said: “I have seen fragrant flowers In the hands of blushing beauty. I have gazed upon the loveliness of dew-kiss-ed violets rivaling with their modesty the majesty of lilies of the valley. I have seen gorgeous roses lending bril* Hance to sparkling eyes. But gentlemen, the most beautiful bouquet that ever burst into bloom before my enraptured eyes was—a royal flush.”"Dallas Pitchfork,

Secret of Spider's Walk.

The way a spider moves its eight legs in walking is interestingly described by a science authority. In order to observe this movement at his leisure —for it is usually too rapid to be followed by the human eye—he tired the spiders by making them swim and then let them walk* slowly, over a smooth surface. In this way he discovered : L The longest legs, those of the first and fourth pairs, move along Hues of their own directions by vertical bending of the joints ; the shorter legs of the second and third pairs move forward by rotation from the coxae (the joints connecting legs with the body)—at right angles to their own directions. 2. First near leg moves with third off leg; (a) second near leg moves with third off leg; (b) third near leg moves with second off leg; (c) fourth near leg moves with first off leg; (d). 8. Walking consists of (a) and (c) simultaneously, followed by (b) and (d) simultaneously.

The horse is really one of the best listeners in the world. He is always on the alert for sounds which concern or interest him. When he looks at anything he turns his ears towards it to observe the better whether any sound comes from it If a horse is particularly interested in your driving of him he always turns his ears backward toward you, but if he has no concern on that subject or if he sees anything ahead that Interests him he keeps his ears pricked forward. A horse hears the whinny of another horse at a greater distance than the average man can hear IL —Boston Transcript

No Clothespins In China.

The American housewife carries around a big bag of clothespins every Monday. The Chinaman twists two Clotheslines together and thrusts the corners of the washing between ths two strands, where they are held as firmly as clothespin ever held them, says the “Christian Herald." The introduction of clothespins will not help the Chinese, and even such revolutionising products as the sewing machine, the electric light and the phonograph, which give to Americans leisure, evenings of good reading and grand opera at home, may mean longer hours of toil for the Chinese, or unwholesome pleasures when the work Is finished,

President Authorizes United States Guard The United States guard will be the name of the 25,000 auxiliary force of troops authorized by the War Department to supplement state and other forces now guarding war supplies, war industries and doing police duty essential to the conduct, including patrol of water fronts. President Wilson has signed the order for organization of the force, and further orders were going out from the war department today. Forty battalions will be organized to relieve regular troops, national guard or other purely military units of this guard duty. The order prescribed that this force be raised by voluntary enlistment or draft. It is the purpose of the government to make it up of men not available for war service at the front. Volunteers will be accepted only between the ages of 31 and 45. If resort to the draft is necessary, men placed in the special classes under the new draft system as being fit for limited military service only will be used to fill up the ranks. The guards will be clothed in regular army blue uniforms, for which there is no need in the army during war times. They will be armed with KragJorgensen rifles and other equipment not suitable in. modern warfare. As far as possible, the men will serve in the immediate neighborhood of their homes. Each battalion will be commanded by a major from the, list of those classed as unavailable for arduous campaigning in Europe. Men who failed to qualify for commissions at the officers’ camp will have an opportunity to accept commissions or places as non-commissioned officers.
