NAVAL NAVIGATORS.
L ' ■■ '
THEY HAVE MANY VERY SERIOUS DU-
J TIES TO PERFORM.
BmlOm » Thorough Nautical Training the
Meer Who Na»lgate«. • Mu-of-wif
Hut Be pewened era Vast r»d a
Technical Scientific Knowledge.
It is doubtful if any office in the
navy, aside from an absolute command,
involves so task a responsibility as that
of navigator of a man-of-war. The du
ties of this important station in former
years fell to officers of the rank of mas
ter, but with the abolition of that
grade its affairs devolved upon the
lieutenants holding the highest num
bers on the list. Upon the navigator of
a warship depends the task of
shaping the vessel’s ▼ourse for any
point across the seas to whloh her des
tinies may direct her, but also the re
sponsibility of piloting her in and out
of harbor and of selecting a safe anchor
age for her in every port visited during
the period of her cruise. Henoe, it fol
lows that, combined with a thorough
nautical training, the competent navi
gator must be possessed of a vast fund
of geographical, meteorological and. hy
drographical knowledge. While at sea,
he must know the vessel's position to a
degree, which necessitates his taking
frequent observations of the celestial
bodies and making solutions of intricate
problems in geometry and trigonometry,
such as constantly arise through devia
tions, brought about by innumerable
causes, from her given course.
Unquestionably the most important
element in navigation, because of its
infallibility under ordinary conditions,
in determining the longitude
and error in the ship’s compass, is what
is known in maritime phraseology as
“nautical astronomy. ” With the aid of
a sextant or quadrant for measuring the
altitude of the heavenly bodies above
the horizon or their distance froip each
other, a timepiece to mark the instant
of an observation, a chronometer to
show the time at the first meridian, a
nautical almanac and an azimuth oom
pass, the navigator can readily deter
mine his position with the utmost ex
actitude.
The average voyage is more or Ims
characterized by-erroneous estimates in
distances sailed, in varying currents,
careless steering, deviation in the com
pare and numerous other obstacles, and
upon the navigator rests the responsi
bility of adjusting such errors. In long
passages across the open sea the navi
gator is governed by a rather complex
combination of motives, which may be
gummed up as follows: To cover the re
quired distance in the shortest space of
time with the smallest expenditure of
fuel mid the least wear and tear of the
vessel that is possible.
With these objects in view the navi
gator must prior to sailing superintend
personally the stowing of the hold, the
arrangement of ballast, water,. provi
sions, stores, etc., and the Inspection
and adjustment of the motive appliances
of the ship, all of which features, sever
ally and collectively, greatly affect her
speed and seaworthiness.
If his vessel possesses the facilities
for making sail, he must while at sea
exercise the keenest judgment and fore
sight as to utilizing the same, for sail
used to good advantage is a great saver
of coal, while otherwise, if used indis
criminately, it may entail much, lore of
time. The expert navigator draws the
line with exceeding fineness between a
high fair wind and a gale, making the
most of the former as long as his vessel
is not jeopardized, heaving her to at
just the proper period and getting under
way again at the first sign of moderation
in tbo weather. The commander of a
warship reposes the utmost confidence
in a skilled and careful navigator and
rarely interferes with his plans. Anoth
er of the numerous details coming under
the navigator's supervision is the keep
ing of the ship’s log. This is commenced
by him at the time the vessel is placed
in commission, and its pages record the
events of each succeeding day. There Is
absolutely nothing which transpires of
ficially on board of a man-of-war that
is not written in the log, and each day
the navigator must carry it to the com
manding officer for his inspection. At
the expiration of every six months the
ship’s log must be closed and forwarded
to the navy department at Washington,
where it is placed among the records.
The navigator is provided with a
large and varied assortment of instru
ments and appliances designed to facili
tate his work. While in port he is often
detailed to make surveys of portions of
tbo coast line which may be defective
upon the charts or to determine the ex
act location of rocks or shoals which
hitherto have not been marked with
sufficient accuracy.
The navigator has charge of all the
various weather indicators of the vessel
and must render quarterly reports of
all meteorological observations. These
are taken at regular intervals by the
quartermaster of the watch and fully
entered upon the ship’s log. The navi
gator must regularly inspect the steer
ing gear, compasses, anchors and chain
cables of the ship and daily report their
condition to the commanding officer.
He must also keep a separate book in
which are recorded all calculations re
lating to the navigation of the vessel
and in which no erasures are permitted
to be made. At the expiration of the
cruise this book is forwarded to the
bureau of navigation.
The duties of a navigating officer are
more than sufficient to fully occupy his
time, but, notwithstanding this fact,
he frequently stands his watch at saa.
While in port he is ex officio the execu
tive officer during the latter’s absence
from the vessel. *

STORY OF A HAT.
Bevealiag tho Secret of Its Two Trips
Around a Table.
A number of literary men were at one
. time gathered in a well known chop
house in New York. The conversation
was of course brilliant, and the repartee
sparkled with mirth and wit. During a .
lull in the talk the door slowly opened,
and an old southern darky, grizzled
with age, poked his head in and then
slowly drew his body in after him. A
waiter started to eject him, when one
of the gentlemen cried:
“Wait a moment Let’s see what the
old boy wants. ”
The darky bobbed up to the table
where this gentleman sat and held out
his hat Throwing a wink to his neigh
bors, the gentleman took the hat and,
making a show of placing something
into it, passed it on to the next man,
who did likewise. The hat made a tour
of the room, to the puzzled wonder of
the darky. ,Tho last to receive it sol
emnly handed it back with a polite
bow, saying:
“There, sir, don’tyou think you have
something .to be thankful for?”
The old darky looked solemnly around
the company and, mechanically taking
the hat, he said:
“Gen’men, I’ze indeed glad dat I got
eben de hat book!”
The reply was so thoroughly enjoyed
by the company that the darky left the
place a much richer man than when he
had entered it.—Kansas City World.

ON A BIKE BUILT FOR TWO.
And ta. N.w. IVm Mot
Basil Afterward.
A cyclist whom wo will call Baxter
was strolling along the avenue when be
noticed a pretty girl In a neat cycling
costume standing by a tandem. She had
her back turned to him, but He saw she
wore a trim costume, had a neat ankle
and a nicely arranged lot of hair. Bax
ter is very particular about a girl’s
hair. This girl looked so attractive that
he paused. There was something pa
thetic in her attitude, he thought. Was
she waiting for a cavalier to join her
on the tandem? A wild idea entered
Baxter’s head. Ho would do a daring
thing. He walked up to the girl. She
turned a frank, merry face on him as
he approached.
“Pardon me,” he laughingly said,
“but are you L iking for an accompa
nist?” and he pointed to the tandem.
"Well,” she (smilingly answered,
“now that you mention it, I guess I
am.”
A moment later they were whirling
UP the street When it began to grow
dark, they famed bnek.
“My tandem?” cried the girt “Why,
it tan’t my tandem. ”
“Not your tandem?" shouted Baxter.
“Whose is it then?”
“ Why,” said the girl, “I thought it
wasyours. ”
“Heavens, no!” groaned Baxter.
“But you acted as if it was yours,’’
said the girl.
“What shall we do?” moaned the
girl. “;
“Take it back,” said Baxter.
So they rode back in silence, and
when they were about a block away the
girl said:
“I guess I’ll stop here.”

TWO HUMOROUS BROTHERS.
They Won Wogan on the Strength of
Their Own Homeliness.
Many years ago there were two broth
ers, named Joel and Jonathan, who
were famous throughout Wayne county,
Ind., because they were both such
frights. One day they were on their
way to Cincinnati by wagon in the
days of the old canal. The wagon was
of the covered variety, and only Joel
was visible to the natural eye as the
vehicle plunged into and out of the
chuck holes that infested the way. Joel
was said to be the next to the ugliest
man in all the country round, and his
brother took precedence.
The two brothers met a stranger, who,
attracted by the supremely homely face
of Joel, stopped his horse and said:
“Excuse me, my friend, but would
you mind tellin me your name?”
In a sepulchral tone that fitted well
the hideous face Joel replied:
“Well, I guess I hain’t never deme
nothin that would make me ashamed
to tell my name. My name is Joel”—
“ Where do you Ute, if it is a fair
question?”
“I live in Wayne county, Indianny. ”
“Well, stranger, I’v.e seen much of
Indianny, but I’ll bet you |lO that
you’re the ugliest man in the state.”
“Well, I hain’t no gamblin man,**
replied Joel, “but I hain’t never seen
nothin in the Scriptur* ag’in bettin on a
sure thing, an I’ll jest take that bet. ”
Turning to the wagon cover and peer
ing into its depths he called:
“Jonathan, stick your head outhyer. ”
Jonathan did as he was requested.
The stranger paid the money Without
a word of complaint.—New York Mail
and Express.
He Got HU Leave.
The Rev. Robert Nourse relates this
story in The Oongregationalist:
On a certain Sunday morning the or
derly of the colonel of the Eighth Ohio
presented himself before that officer.
“Everything all right, colonel?” he
asked. After looking around and find
ing that the tent had been put in order
and his boots blacked he replied in the
affirmative. “I have a foyer to ask,”
Mid the orderly. “State it,” said the
colonel. “I beg that I may go off today,
colonel, and go a little earlier and re
main a little later.” “For what rea
sons?” demanded the colonel. The or
derly produced a letter and said, “Sir,
I have received this from the president,
and he invites me to dine at the White
House.”
The president of the United States is
in every way to be ranked among the
great rulers of the world. But the gen
uine and unaffected democracy of the
man who now holds that exalted office
is shown in this incident, which could
not be paralleled in any other country
In the world.
Santiago de Cuba has an ecclesias
tical distinction, and that is that it is
the oldest bishopric in the western
world. When all Pennsylvania was a
traceless waste, an archbishop ruled a
see of no mean proportions from that
city and. under that title. From the
city of Santiago also went out the two
great missionaries to the Indians and
negroes, the first, who
evangelised nearly all Central America,
and the second, St Peter Waver, who
worked among the negroes of Brazil.—
