GULLS CROsTthTTaCIFIC.
In tlie Wake of Transports and Get
the Crumbs Thrown Overboard.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
We are proud of our great ocean lin
ers and the speed that they make, a
speed which has made foreign coun
tries ridiculously near has brought the
nations close together. To the people
of a hundred years ago the story that
a vessel could cross the broad Pacific
within a month would seem like the
sheerest fancy of a romancer. Yet at
that time sea gulls existed as they do
at the present day, and they made
their long trips without provoking any
especial comment. To-day it is looked
upon as nothing very marvelous that
birds are able to fly from America
to Asia and back again. But If we
pause to consider it the feat is really
something after all.
These birds are especially fond of
the United States army transports,
for these ships carry many men, who,
denied the taste for books which ren
ders an ocean jourrfey less tedious
and having limited facilities for deck
sport, take to feeding the gulls as a
pastime. When one of the big ves
sels leaves the Goldon Gate and passes
the Farallone Islands a hundred or
more brown bodies, with long, sweep
ing wings, leave their resting place
and take up the flight in the wake
of the transport.
Then some soldier who has made
the trip before says; ‘‘Here come the
sea gulls. We’d better feed them if
we want a quick passage this trip,”
and many soldiers invade the stew
ard's premises and gather up the
waste bread and victuals.
The birds seem to know when they
are to be fed. for they come flying in
ever narrowing circles until they are
within a short distance of the ship.
Then the food begins to fall on the
waters, and the brown-winged forms
swoop eagerly down upon the waves
and seize what has been thrown forth.
This is continued until the food is ex
hausted, and then the soldiers go be
low, leaving the gulls to get away
with their food as they fly. They nev
er seem to rest, these queer birds. Day
after day they follow the ship, cleaving
the air with swift wings, flying easily
and without apparent effort. Indeed,
it seems as if they were not made to
rest.
On the last trip of the transport Lo
gan one of the gulls had its wing mus
cles injured in some way and drooped
fluttering upon the deck, its wide,
goose-like bill open and strange
squawks coming from its throat. A
soldier spied it and took it to his bunk,
where he fed it daily until it became
strong again. Then he allowed it to
fly away. But the bird had not for
gotten his benefactor. Every day it
would alight on the deck, and allow
none save this particular man to feed
It. It followed the boat to Honolulu,
to Guam and finally to Manila. Where
It rested during the two weeks the
Logan lay in Manila is not known, but
when the vessel turned on Its home
ward course, bound for Nagasaki, the
first day out found this gull, easily
distinguishable by a fleck of white on
Its neck, resting on the stem. As Its
favorite soldier did not appear, the
gull graciously allowed others to feed
It, and continued its trip with the
ship until the Logan passed the Faral
lone Islands.
A peculiar Incident was one that oc
curred on the R. M. S. Athenian on
her last trip from Yokohama to Van
couver. Five days out, 1,000 miles from
land in any direction, a little owlet
alighted on the deck and was cap
tured by the second steward. It was
a baby owl. a little bundle of brown
and white feathers, and it blinked its
eyes in the daylight as it rested con
tentedly in the cage which the steward
provided.
HUGH DUFFY DELIVERS HIMSELF ON
THE FINE POINTS OF BATTING
Philadelphia Manager Tells What Is Required to
Bea Good Hitter.
Hughey Duffy, manager of the Phil
lies, has been delivering a set of lec
tures on the fine points of the national
game. He gave some good advice in
regard to batting, and In part said:
"I would not confine the batter to
any one narrow style of position. Al
most every leading batter has his pe
culiarity. The most essential thing
about batting is naturalness. Try to
be natural at all times. If you find
you can hit better by keeping your
feet apart, do so, and If you can do
better by keeping them together, do
so.
"Confidence Is needed in hitting. No
one ever hit the hall who walked to
the bat thinking he was going to strike
out. Go to the bat not overconfident
of being able to connect safely, but
take your bat and consider that your
chances of hitting safely are good. If
not better, than are the pitcher’s of
being able to retire you.
"Your pitcher will size you up, and
you do the same to him. Try to dis
cover if you can what kind of a ball
he Is going to pitch.
“Stand back of the plate, so as to be
able to step toward the ball as It
crosses the rubber. Standing on the
same line with the plate makes it Im
possible for you to step toward the ball
as It crosses.
“Throw your weight Into the bat.
Don’t swing wildly. 'Meet the ball
half way. Try to hit squarely as it
crosses the plate. Try hit to through
or over the p4tcher. If you hit
continually to left field you arc swing
ing Just too soon. If you hit to right

REbATIVES OK THE KIXC.
More Than 30.000 Pirioni Can Claim
Tki> Honor.
From London Answers.
Have you royal blood In your veins?
You will laugh at the idea, but think
a moment. King Edward has over
36,000 relatives now living, and you are,
as likely as not, one of them. Gen
ealogists who have traced the blood
royal of Britain have found that peo
ple so widely different as Archbishop
Temple and Sir Wilfred Lawson are
relatives of tha King. There are 36,-
735 persons whose descent can be clear
ly and undisputably traced to be cf
royal lineage. In addition to these
nearly double that huge number has
some connecting link more or less es
tablished.
The great family of Jones have over
1,000 members who come of royal blood.
Not long since an old man named Hen
ry Tones, an Inmate of a South Wales
workhouse, traced his pedigree back to
its royal source and his claim was
substantiated by a well known genealo
gist. The Smiths are well represented;
and over 2.000 Wilsons are of the line.
Are you one of these?
If you are called Churchill you may
safely pride yourself on royal connec
tion, for nearly the whole of that great
family are linked, however remotely,
with blue blood. A large number of
Sandersons have also this distinction.
It is not generally known that Col.
Sanderson, the popular member of Par
liament, is a relative of the King. Of
course it is very distant. Another
name, with its variations, which is
largely represented in this record to
tal of relatives, is that of Manners.
If you are called Manners, depend upon
it, vou are a distant relation of the
King, and will pride yourself accord
ingly. Equally distinguished is the
great army of Morleys and also of
Valletorts.
Sir William Harcourt is one of King
Edward's relatives; so is Sir Wilfrid
Lawson. The great men who are al
lied to royal blood are a huge com
pany and afford numerous surprises
to “the man in the street.” For in
stance, not one in a thousand knows
that the famous poet, Mr. Swinburne,
is of royal connection; not only so,
but almost every person you meet
that bears the name of Swinburne has
the same distinction. Mr. Alfred
Lvttleton is in the list; and anew
relative is Mr. Herbert Gladstone.
Quite a large proportion of famous
churchmen have the honor. Dr. Gore,
the Bishop of Worcester, is quite
closely allied, and the family, number
ing more than 1,000, are. therefore,
royally connected. The Bishop of
Bangor is in the list, and in the inner
circles of relatives Is the popular
Father Adderley. The reverend fath
er's family contributes a goodly total
to the King’s relatives and are much
nearer kin thaji many of those we
have mentioned.
Side by side with these distinguished
Protestants is the representative at
•the Vatican, Mgr. Stonor, Archbishop
of Trebizond, is a near relative as
such go, and Archbishop Bourne is dis
tantly connected.
These names by no means exhaust
the list; but you will see that the
idea of your being related to the King
is not such absurdity as you per
haps thought. One of that 36,000 may
be you. There are thousands of dif
ferent names in the list, and the great
and well-known people are the excep
tions rather than the rule.
“Why, nearly 20,000 relatives are un
known!” said a learned genealogist
to Answers’ representative. “We are
always discovering new links in the
inos. unexpected places, and one nev
er knows but what some day they
may be proved to oome of royal
blood.”
—Mr. McAdoo, the commissioner of
police of New York city, has recently
been asked by representatives of the
Panama republic to name a good man
to organize a police force for the new
country, especially in the cities of
Panama and Colon, where an efficient
force will be needed during the activ
ity coincident with the building of the
canal. He recommended John Mc-
Cullagh, chief of police in 1897 and
later state superintendent of elections.
Mr. McAdoo is a Democrat and Mr.
McCullagh is a Republican. Mr. Mc-
Cuilagh is now living at Goshen, N. Y.
field constantly you are swinging just
too late. If you can succeed in hit
ting through the pitcher’s box, on the
ground or above the head, in my opin
ion you have acquired the hardest part
of the batting.
"Swinging too soon, which sends the
ball to left field, Is bad, as the ball Is
apt to rise too much, and the left
fielder, third baseman and shortstop
are playing for the hit at all times.
“Swinging too late, which sends the
ball to right field, works almost the
same, as the force of the bat is lost,
the swing or push not being fast
enough.
"My advice is not to swing or not
to push too much. Make It half and
half. Swing enough to get force and
push enough to get your weight on the
bat.
"Try to keep the ball on the ground.
Outfielders as getting faster each year,
and apparently safe flies are often
caught. Never step away from the
ball. You lose any force you put Into
your swing by stepping back, and if
an outcurve is thrown you are too far
back to hit it. and If you do connect
it will be with the tip of the bat, and
generally this proves an easy out for
the first baseman or an assist from
the pitcher or second baseman.
"Try to be natural, but don’t step
back. Always step into the ball and
meet it as it comes.
“Stepping back is only another word
for cowardice, and the pitcher soon
knows It and will either send you a
wicked inshoot, which will frighten
you more, or send up a wide outcurve
that can't be reached. Stepping back
also prevent you from getting a fast
start to first. The ball is often ahead
of you to first by an inch or two.”
