A BIT OF JNAVAL !.
Origin of th Corps of Professor!
Mathematics.
Before the Naval academy was es
tablished midshipmen received tbelr
education entirely on board ship. Their
technical education was obtained In
the school of experience, helped out
occasionally by the voluntary efforts
of the older line officers. Their gen
eral education was at first neglected,
but later Instructors were appointed
for service on ships that carried mid
shipmen. These were appointed by
the secretary of the navy for stated
periods, much as civilian instructors
at the Naval academy are appointed
at the present time. In 1&12 a general
brder was Issued providing that they
should live and mess with lieutenants.
They were commissioned Jn 1848, but
specific rank was not given them until
the general reorganization of all staff
corps during the civil war.
' The Into Professor H. H. Lockwood,
tT. S. N., In some very interesting rem
iniscences read before the Naval
Academy Graduates' association In
1803 relates bow the corps of profes
sors of mathematics came to be form
ed., In the early days of the Naval
academy be was one of Us instructors.
He bad had service in the army, and
In the development of the course of in
struction he determined, after consul
tation with the superintendent, to give
tho midshipmen ' little Infantry drill.
This did uot suit the proud spirits of
the young gentlemen of that day. and
to show their disapproval of this and
other efforts of tho professor (hey hung
him In effigy. An investigation and a
court martial followed on the charge
of , insulting n superior officer.
The defense put up the plea that the
Instructor was not a superior officer.
Such a conditiou Is hard to understand
iht this time, when the status of offi
cers, instructors nud midshipmen nt
the Nnval academy is well delined, but
at that time midshipmen were officers,
while instructors had no official stand
ing. The plea was technically correct,
and to punish the guilty midshipmen it
was found necessary to substitute
charges in which the anomalous posi
tion of the professor in the naval serv
ice could not be made to enter. Upon
these the guilty midshipmen were con
demned and punished.
This Incident led to an amendment
in the naval appropriation bill of 1848
giving authority for the commissioning
of twelve professors of mathematics.

the'tllttle state of Prussia to the front

ment of his government received his
personal attention and the highest
functionaries were as mere clerks un
der his direction. In personal and pub
lic affairs alike he practlco'd rigid
economy. . .
As an administrator Frederick the
Great was without an equal. He earn
estly labored to secure to his people
the great blessing of cheap and speedy
justice. Religious persecution was un
known under his government. He
sought by every means to extend the
commercial Industries of his kingdom
and from the beginning to the end of
his career he was a liberal patron of
the fine arts.
JVhen he died, at the age of 74, he
left to his successor a well regulated
state, a powerful army, and a treasury
well provided. The greatest treasure,
however, In the words of the historian
Macauley, .was the recollection of his
heroic and glorious acts, which In sub
sequent times has continued to oper
ate upon his nation with all Its. awak
ening power and heart-stirring Influ

Points creek and followed it for a.
long way. At one time the searchers
went a half mile without finding any
trace of his leaving the creek, and on
ly then his tracks Were seen crossing
a log that spanned the stream. His
lust struggled probably came when he
stumbled and fell on rocks protruding
from the water for his chin lay on one
rock and his right temple on another,
and It wns In that position that he was
found. This happened probably Monday
