B!C GUrrCHARGES Handling Shells and Powder at a Nayal Ammunition Base. SAFETY FIRST IS THE RULE. All Workmen on Ion liland, Undo Sam'e Station In th Hudson River, Var White Serge Suite and Moo caaina, and Copper Toole Are Used. lona Isliimt. the Cnitcd States naval ammunition tmse In the Hudson river, cover 1 ItS acres. Wtthla Us limits are stored about 3.00 uhju pounds of smokeless powder and over 1.000,000 pounds of bluet powder, besides many thousands of shells. This war ma terial Is kept lu lnr(:e briek aud stone powder aiuKaziuvti aud shell bouses. The jiowder uiagtuiues all have four separate fireproof walls and are divid ed up Into compartments In order to prevent a fire or an explosion from reaching or destroying the entire con tents. Tbe loaded shells are kept sep arately from the empty projectiles and re stored In two fised ammunition mnjniztuea. Each shell Is weighed and numbered before being put away. The weight Is recorded In chalk oo the hell. Magazine attendants Inspect tbe shell bouses and powder magazines many times during tbe day aud night At uight each visit is recorded on tbe disk of tbe magnetic clock In the adminis tration building. The temperature In the shell bouses and powder magazine is kept between 85 and 00 degrees. Just how many shells for the big battleships are stored away at lona island is a secret but there are lots of them. They are expensive. Thus tbe fourteen Inch shells, weighing 1.600 pounds and requiring a charge of near ly 400 pounds of powder, cost about $000 eacb. Oue of tbe principal activities at ; lona Island Is the manipulation of smokeless powder for charges for the large and small guns of the navy and of black powder for bursting charges for " the shells. The powder filling houses are situated at widely separat ed points. They are small one story wooden structures. Isolated owing to tbe possibility of an explosion. The men working in them are required to wear wbite serge suits and moccasins; so metal or other articles are allowed In their pockets which might In any way canse a spark. All tbe tools, funnels, measuring cups, scales and other appliances used ' are made of copper. Here tbe delicate and somewhat dangerous business of weighing out tbe various smokeless powder charges Is carried on. The weighing has to be done very carefully. At tbe Indian Head proving grounds tbe naval ordnance experts by tests determine the powder charges best adapted for the various guns, and at the annual target practice the results as to range and velocities of the vari ous charges are recorded. Then slight changes in the composition of the pow der lead to changes In tbe weight of tbe charges. THE E ELL AT LtOYO'ST" i Tolls When a Ship le Poeted In the I Chamber of Horrors, ! One of the most Interesting of bells Is tbe one at Lloyd's, the great Lon dou marine Insurance exchange. Its ringing lia more significance thau tbe sound of most bells, for it Is rung only when a vessel Is reiwted lost or when a ship '"'is overdue and consid ered lost unexpectedly reaches port The bell now used at Lloyd's belong ed to the I.utitus which was wrecked near the Stuyder In Octolier. lV'.Ki, while taking specie from Eugllsh mer chants to Hamburg. There is a room at Lloyd's known as the cli.itiiber of horrors, aud here are posted the telegrams that report casu alties at s-a. I'uimpuriiint accidents are not entered lu the loss book, but the most serious are not only eutered there, hut are cried aloud by an of ficial who stands In gorgeous uniform beneath the sounding hoard. When after a week's disappearance It Is feared that a vessel has gone down the owners make an application to the committee at Lloyd's to have the ship po'd. That Is done by post ing up a notice lu the chamber of hor rors which says that the authorities would be glad of Information concern ing tbe boat A week elapses, and then a second notice Is put up, saying that the bout bus not since beeu heard of. When you read that a ship has been "post ed" as misslug you may know tbnt declaration Is upou the notice board at Lloyd's. On that day the lusurance money is payable, and all who were upon ber are legally considered dead When a ship Is posted the old Lutlue bell Is tolled once. In tbe very unusu al .event of a vessel arriving In port after beinu posted tbe bell is struck twice, and tbe caller makes bis an nnnnremeut from the rostrum amid a breathless silence.-Youth's Com panlon.

These are zinc lined and air tight The boxes of powder are emptied into a long wooden trough and with a copper scoop the powder is dipped out, accurately weighed and tied np in quarter, half and full charges lu bags of white muslin. These bags have several wide stream ers for fastening them, and each is tagged with the date of filling and tbe amount of powder it contains. A small Ignition charge of quick burning black powder, to set off the" smokeless. Is stowed In tbe bottom of each bag. The hags are then placed In large copper cans and returned to tbe magazines, where they are held in readiness to go aboard tbe ships. The big charges of 400 pounds for the fourteen Inch guns are arranged In four charges of 100 pounds each. The bags when piled on top of one another reach to tbe top of a man's bead and present a formidable slgbt of bottled p destruction. One of tbe important operations per formed in tbe magazine houses is load ing tbe projectiles with tbelr bursting charge. For the fourteen inch shells fifty pounds of black iowder Is used and about thirty pounds for twelve inch shells. To hold the shell steady and to get at the base of these huge teel missiles some of tbetn weighing 1,000 pounds they are roped in a sling and hoisted clear of tbe floor by a pul ley and ebaln. The point Is then low ered a foot or so into a stout wooden frame with an opening a trifle larger than the shell. Then a long nar row bag is inserted In the shell cavity and tbe measured amount of black powder Is poured through a funnel Into the shell. Some fifty of these huge projectiles can be loaded In a day. Several of tbe smaller filling bouses re nscd to assemble the cartridge eases and the bursting charges of the three-Inch rapid fire shells. New York Sun.

If Supplies From Abroad Were Cut Off For a Few Weeks Death Would Ravage the Great and Wealthy Me tropolisSources of Its Provisions. London Is a city and a county, but It is so immense nun so uivcise nun ii mh.lit almost be said to be a country, one ot the must stiiUilig tilings shout London is Its utter Inability to feed tM'lf lu the matter of food Its very immensity is the cause or Its utter oe prudetictt. If supplies were cut off from without It would starve to deutu in a few weeks. It Is the richest city In the world It has palatini s!iom, thousamia of stores anil countless warehouses, tun t produces practically uotlilug lu the shape of foodstuff. It Is like a great baby that has to be fed by lis mother, the world, and the produce of the world fills the mouths of Its 7,500.000 Inhabitants. l!y tbe rail, the river and the road all that Londoners eat aud drink Is brought to them, aud three-quarters of It all is conveyed in ships from abroad. I'titil the begluulng of the ullieteeutb century Loudon had uo docks. 1 inlay they cover au area of twe.ity-two miles, and wheat from the United States, Russia. Camilla and the Argentine Is disgorged Into their granaries from the holds of ships like so much saud Many Londoners have uever seen the docks, but two loaves out of every three that they eat are made from tbe grain that cornea to tbetn through those docks. Most of tbe grain ships berth In the Victoria docks, but since tbey are so necessary to the city's welfare they have tbe right to moor at any quay In the port or London, a privilege uo oth er vessels possess. The London hutcbers never cease to sound tbe praise of English beef and mutton, but they sell little tbat Is real ly English. All tbe cattle that are shipped to London alive pass ashore at Deptford Into tbe market which stands oo the site of tbe- dockyard where Peter the Great learned ship building. Every animal Is Inspected by a government official, and those that are In any way diseased are killed and cremated straightway. Cattle come by train from all parts of tbe kingdom to tbe Metropolitan cattle market at Islington, traveling through tbe night, and on Mondaya and Thursdays the market opens at dawn and continues till 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The cattle that are sold are driven to tbe slaughter bouses and killed, and the meat Is on sale at Smlthfield early next morning At 2 o'clock in the morning this market Is ablaze with light and the streets in the vicinity are blocked with railway vans. At 4 o'clock the sales men are In their places, and soon aft- erward the buyers from tbe big shops arrive, and tbe sawdust strewn ave nues of red and yellow carcasses are thronged. Smithfield's dally supply of beef and mutton Is about 1,600 tons, tint only a fifth of this meat Is British, and much of the mutton comes from New Zea land via tbe Victoria docks. Tbe county of Ken? is noted for Its fruits and vegetables, but London would be nnable to satisfy Its craving for green stuff without the aid of otb er countries. The miscellaneous vege tables annually brought into England from abroad are worth close to $5,000,- 000. There are several markets In the metropolis for such wares Bpltalflelds, the Great Northern potato market and tbe Farringdon fruit and vegetable market-but tbe bulk of tbe apples, oranges, lemons, onions, potatoes and other roots that are brought from France. Italy, Spain and Algiers find their way from the docks of Covent Garden in common with the home grown fruit and vegetables which reach London from all points of tbe compass In boxes and baskets piled blgb on lumbering vans. Most of tbe market gardeners sell their own wares at "the uarden, while tbe foreign stuff Is sold at auc tion. For 300 years this place has been tbe premier market of London for vegetables, fruits and flowers, and there are firms who have traded be neath Its glass roof for generations. Some of the fish tbat feeds London is landed on a floating pontoon at the river front of Billingsgate market and at a very early hour in the morning one may, if he chooses, gaze upon fish ing smacks from the North sea, little open barges loaded with fish that have been lightered from larger vessels in the docks and clumsy looking Dutch gallots loaded with eels which are en titled under a charter granted by Queen Elizabeth to sail op the Thames and moor below London bridge. Tbe railway companies convey 79, 000 tons of fish from different parts of the coast In the course of a year, while the boats convey 57,000 tons. The tolling of a big bell announces the opening of tbe market at 5 o'clock, and thereafter the fishmongers are busy buvttiz. and the fish porters In their long smocks and flat topped hats scur ry from the stalls to the carts bearing Hsh boxes on their heads. Tbe provision hunlness Is n network of commerce In Itself, hut there Is o hlg dally distribution throughout Lon don, because without It London would have to live on dry bread, meat and vegetnblea.-New York Truss.
