Conl Is tho bugbenr of moilorn ships of

foro nnd lift. Coal Hutu tho norvos of Hoot

nsslstimt onjrlneors on odgo for long cruises
nt n, stretch. Conl, which nlso menus
ronlliitf, causes moro desertions from tho
linvy than any other fonturoof tho scrvloo.
Tho growls over conl nnd conllng nbonrd
inon-oC-wnr of todny nro never cinllng.
When tho potency of conl for rendering
chief eiiBlueera half Insnno Is considered,
It Is no wonder tlint so many of them go
to pieces physically mid nro forced to rotlro
When they ought to bo in their prima of
usefulness.
Ever slnco nion-of-wnr wero first driven
by steam tho world's nnvlos have beon ex
perimenting with conl. Tho results of
their experiments up to tlio present tlmo,
ns most of tho chief engineers confoss,
mny bo represented by naught. Tho steam

a ton of coal's smiike, tho weight of n ton
of coal's refuse, tho proportlonnto amount
of ollnkor In each and all of tho world's
brands of steaming conl, tho number of
pounds of steum niudo In a given time by
oach and nil of tho world's brands of
steaming coal thoso nnd nbout 40 others
of similar character aro tho minor problems
tlint come In for solution after tho chiof
problem of getting aboard enough coal to
drlvo tho ship nspoclllcddlstanoois solvod.
Thoso nro tho pencil and pad puzzlos that
conduco ho to tho conversion of naval engi
neers Into neurasthenia wrecks.
Tho big problom of courso Is tho con
sumption of coal the getting of enough
i ceal nbonrd man-of-war to urlvo licr
throws'" " certain number of longuos 01
wntor. Coal Is deceiving nnd treacherous.
It has nn utterly Inoxpllcablo fashion of
working Its way Into tho furnaces, of
sneaking out of bunkers nnd of smashing
tho calculation slates of skippers and en
gineers to binltliereens. Jinny nn Inno
cent coal passor on board a mnn-of-wnr
gots himself dragged up to tho innst to ex
plain to his skipper nnd chlof engineer
tho absenco of a certain amount of coal
that nught still to remain in tho bunkers
tho coal henver has beon working In, but
that Isn't thero nil tlio sumo.
Coal passers hnvo boon worried Into say
ing "I didn't cat tho coal," under thoso
cross examinations. Whon coal consump
tion calculations nro spoiled in this way,
tho recrimination that follows oil along
tho lino Is natural. Tho skipper says tho
ohlof cnglncor hasn't n proporly dovclopod
bump 01 economy. Tlio cine: snys tno men
hnvo sneaked tho coal Into tho furnaoes.
Tho men say tho coal Is no good nnd
burns llko dry hemp. And tho coal goes
right on using Itself up ns if bowltohod.
Cliiol engineers Know, or course, just
how much coal tho bunkers of their ships
will hold, to n pound in cublo moasuro
inent but figures Ho with refcrenco to
coal. When a chlot midway on a crulso
wants to know how much coal ho has used
and how much ho still hns on hand, ho
never simply subtracts tho amount usod,
necordlng to tho log, from tho nmount
tnkon nbonrd nt tho outset of tho crulso.
Ho knows that if ho does this ho'll proba
bly get Ills ship In tho trough of tho sea
100 or 500 miles from land without n
pound of coal left to niovo her into port.
Ho llrst sends his yeoman, iv chief petty
ofllccr, Into tho bunkers to do somo figur
ing. Ho discounts tho yooman's report
through his knowledgo that all yeomen
nro optimists and thoreforo likely to tack
on a good many moro tons than tho bun
kora contain.
After tho yeoman has washed up nnd
mado his pen and poncll Bketch of tho
bunkers, with tho figured nmount of coal
romalning in each of them, tho chief sends
0110 of his cadet engineers through tho
bunkers for a report on tho nmount of coal
remaining on hand. Tho cadot engineer
does somo fancy figuring, making his cal
culations iw, abstruso ns possible for tho
greater effect of thorn, and then tho chief
has 0110 of tho assistant engineers under
tako tho murky, 6iuutty trip through tho
bunkers. Tho assistant engineer's figures
occasionally get within 100 tons or so of
tho figures presented by the yeoman and
tho cadet engineer. Finally tho chief as
sumes tho bluo jumpors nnd blouso him
self and makes tho bunker crulso. Ho al
ways omorges from tho bunkers with n
uloomy oyo nnd with his confidence In tho
thrco olllcers ho hns sent through tho
bunkors qulto shuttered, and ho generally
makes for tho captain s enliin nnu an
nouncos that If tho speed of tho ship Is not
immediately reduced ho won't bo held ro-
sponslhlo fortho ship's running outof coal
in luUIotran.
Tho perturbation of tho chlof englneor
under theso circumstances usually works
on tho footings of 0110 of tho old machinists
nt tho throttlo. Theso old machinists aro
practical, experienced men, who don't
know much nbout figures nnd hnvo no sort
of reverence for cublo measurement. Ono
of them goes through tho bunkors, sizes
up tho amount of coal remaining In oach
of tliom by tho slmplo oyo method, which
is tho ovolution of experience, and makes
n report on tho amount of coal on hand
that in nino cases out of ten Is1 proved nt
tho end of tho crulso eorroot almost to tho
ton. Thus tho troublo over tho ooal In
tho bunkers Is never nt nn end.
If tho chlof engineer's troublo over tho
question of coal consumed and on hand
wcro tho end of tho problem, It would not
bo so bad, but tho number of reports ho Is
compelled to mnko to tho bureau of steam
cnulncerlng on ench enrgo of coal is an-
nallliiK. Ho has got to tabuloto for tho
bureau of steam engineering tho exact
amount of coal, to a half bushel, used
dally for driving ship, for working tho
ventilating ougines, for working tho
Hushing pumps, for working tho dynnmos.
for furnishing heat, for running tho lco
machines, for operating tho condensers,
for doing nil of the things aboard a mod
ern man-of-war tlint stenin Is employed
for. IIo must seo to it that ovory pound
of rofuso from tho coal used on n crulso Is
measured and weighed nnd report on It.
Ho must hnvo tho clinker ussortcd from
tho.rofuso, havo It weighed and report on
It, Ho must note tho color of the coal's
smoko nnd report on it lu varying degrees
of density. Ho must, In general, note tho
conduct and morula of all tho coal 0011
sumed on his shin and report on It. No
wonder that chief onglneers on shoro duty

THE BUMBLEBEE
Ife Does Not Fcnr tlm Cold an I It Futind
Kveii In tho Arttlo Itrulcn,
In St. Nicholas thero In nn artlolo on
"The Uumbloboc," written by Uaruoy
Hoskln StandWU. Mr. HtnndUh says:
This chunky, hatry, noisy fellow is king
It tho oold. Ho stays with us summor
nnd winter and Is snld to prefer tho orotic
region to the tropics. I do not doubt this,
for ho will sleep out of doors any cold
night of spring or fall without asking for
nn extra blanket. Indeed, ho is homeless
for nine or ten months of the yenr, lodg
ing wherever night overtakes him, on a
blossom, a leaf and oven upon tho ground.
If ho hns any choice lu tho matter I think
he prefers the thistle, wliero tho spines are
thickest. Perhaps ho Is awaro that these
ttlugers will gu.iVd him from the skunk
nnd tho sniiko while his own nro In n body
stiffened by oold and drowsy with sleep.
There nro threo kinds of bumblebees
roared In n nest queens, drones nnd work
ers. Tlio queens alone survive the winter.
They apparently spend tho first few weeks
of spring waiting for ml olover to bloom,
tho first blossom of which Is tho signal for
nest building. lieforo this thoy visit tho
Willows, hum a soft bass about tlio lilacs,
thrust their long tongues Into tho honey
suckles nnd grow fat at tho oxhaustles'i
honey jars of the water-loaf, and then tho
play day ends and labor begins.
Nost building with them does not menu
nest construction. One boo nlono could
Hot well do that. Iiosldes she Is In a big,
bustling hurry now. Sho lias actually soon
a clover blossom. Out nnd In ninong tho
dead, matted grosses of Inst year's growth
slto goos, hunting porhnps for tho aban
donctl nest of a field mouse. It will bo re
membered that these llttlo animuls build
upon tho surface of the ground soft nests
of grasses, In which thoy winter. From
theso they hnvo runways leading In differ
ent directions. Tho bee goes down Into
the dead grass, scrambling on as best sho
may, until 6ho finds ono of thoso runways,
following It up to tho nest. If It Is ooou
plcd, sho goes elsewhere ; If not, tho mouse
nest straightway becomes a beo's nest and
tho llttlo cronturo begins her preparations
for housokoeplng.
Sho now collects a mnss of pollon In
which to deposit an egg. As tho egg
hntches and tho baby bco grows sho keeps
this mass moKtcned with honoy, nnd he
helps himself, eating out a cavity larger
than a whito beau. In this ho spins a com
plete coooon. Whon this is dono, ho takes
a long nap, In which ho changos from n
grub Into a buniblebeo, with wings nnd
legs. SIcnntiinc tho parent removes tho
thin coating of pollen from tho upper half
of the cocoon and apparently spreads a
yellow secretion or vurnish upon It, ns If
to keep out moisture. Sho is also now
busy collecting more pollen and luying
eggs In It and constructing a rudo coll or
two In which to placo honey, as if for n
rainy day. Tho llrst boos that hotcli are
worker bcos, and at this tlmo nro downy,
pale and babyllko In nppenrnnco and be
havior. In later summer queens nnd
drouos nro raised.
&bo Thought Ho Wuh Crying.
"Over In Illinois when I was a hoy,"
snld a congressman from the stttto to n re
porter, "there was a lawyer named Hath
away, who lived In my natlvo town, and
who hud something tho matter with his
eyes. I think tho doctors said his lucliry
inal glands wero weak.
'Anywuy, lio was always wiping his
eyes. Sometimes It wns amusing in court
to seo him bring out his big red bandanna
and jvlpo his eyes when ho was talking to
tho court upon somo dry legal proposition.
You know you rather expect a lawyer to
do it beforo a jury In criminal practice.
"Well, they iued to tell this story on
Hathaway : One day it woman canio into
Ills ollleo to consult with him regarding
tho beginning of a suit for divorce from
her husband. Hlio related how sho hud
beon abused and told a story of sullerlng.
Just nt this point Ilatliaway roachod for
his hutidkercihef and wiped his eyes.
"Ills client, who was of a sympathetic
naturo, sought to stay his arm and said:
" 'Don't cry, Mr. Hathaway; don't cry.'
"Hathaway wns sensitive regarding his
Infirmity, but ho always laughed heartily
when tho story was told In his presence."

The young man who
starts In business life
with a good athletic
training back of him will
be able to stand more
than the man who has
not had the same advant
age. Nevertheless, if he
overworks and neglects
his health, he is likely to
fall a victim to some fa
tal malady like his lets
fortunate brother.
There is only one
safe road for a man to
tread in tho matter of
health. That U the
road of eternal
vigilance. No
man, no matter
how strong he
may be natural
ly, can with impunity neglect the little ills
and indispositions of life. These little dis
orders arc what make the big ones. When
a man sufftrs from headaches and loss of
nppetite, feels drowsy and dull duting wak
ing hours, cannot sleep at night and is
nervous and shaky at all times, he is in a
dangcious condition. If he long neglects
his condition he will find himself a very
sick man Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
