MARKINGA SAILOR
.Naval Arm Insignia Worn by
Uncle Sam's Enlisted Men.
ty TELLS THEIR RANK AND WORK.
The Bluejackets Are Proud of Thaie
Clast Symbol, and Only the Novices
Are Without Them Marines Have
Their Own Special Insignia.
Undo Sam seems to be n wise old
boy. llo ban found tbo secret of uvcrt.
In;; lubor dllUcultlcs und raising tbo
-dignity of labor uboard ship by giving
the marines and Milium wlio aio as
tdgncd to special duties urm Insignia
to distinguish tlielr callings and ranks.
.Mechanics, clerics, carpenters und
decli men arc given just ns much at
tention when It comes to Insignia us
nro tbo admirals, captains, lieutenants,
-ensigns nnd other commissioned men.
And If tho truth were only known the
Jucklcs take even more pride In dis
playing tho marks that huvo been con
ferred upon them.
Undo Sam bus a peculiar method of
murklng bis men, but ho has never
taken Into consideration that the pub
lie would like to bo taken Into the se
cret. The consequence Is Unit tho men
who have becu honored with the dis
tinguishing marks and It is only the
novices or newcomers who have not n
, mark of some kind must suffer iind bo
prepared ulwuys wullo on shore have
to answer the questions of tho curious.
The Insignia, however, nro simple
enough when understood. A symbol of
Mome sort Is used to distinguish tbo
man's following. For Instance, a chief
.eomau has two crossed keys on his
coat sleeves, signifying that ho has the
keys to tho stores and Is a clerk on
Imaid tho ship. An eaglo appears over
every murk and there are qualifying
stripes under the symbol to show
whether the man Is first class, second
elans or third class. If llo Is of the hit-
er rank he has only ouo stripe. If
lie Is a chief petty olllcer ho wears con
necting lines between tho curved lino
under tho eaglo and tho stripes. Oth
erwise be simply wears tho eaglo uud
the stripes. This Is true with nil men.
In sumo Instances, however, tbo
utrlpe" under the symbol typify the
man's distinctive olllce. For Instance,
it machinist of the .first class wears
three stripes. A water tender has tbo
hiitue mark under n propeller. A man
with two stripes Is cither unrulier or u
machinist's mate.
A man with two crossed quills Is n
pay clerk. A turret with 11 gun signi
fies that I ho wearer Is a turret cap
tain. A globe means the man Is nn
electrician. A carpenter hits two hatch-i-tK.
A crescent Irf worn by a commis
si ry or u commissary's stewnrd. A
-quartermaster In the uovy wears n
wheel, while tho man with the same
- distinction lif tho marlno corps has
rosicd quills for bli Insignia.
Many of the naval men also wear n
" Ingle stripe across the shoulder. These
who wear red belong to tho engineers'
-corps. If n man with n red strlK has
one white strlc on his cuff ho Is it coal
passer: If two. ho Is a second class
tlreman und If three, n third class tire
man. Tho deck force wear n white stripe
Across tho shoulder. If n mini has two
tttrlpcs on his cuff he Is uu ordinary
pcaman: If three, u hcntnau. and u sin
Itlo stripe means ho U uu apprentice or
it landsman.
All t,he petty officers wear blue rat
ing on the white clothes and led on tho
liluc. A man who has won three sue
esslve ifltlng medals for good conduct
Is icrmltted to wear gold. Those who
mre In llio special or the engineers'
ilinincli wear their rating on the left
inriii. and the seamen wear theirs on
itho right. Enlistment stripe- are also
worn, one for each four years. Chief J
'petty officers, besides having the con
meeting lines over their Insignia, also
wear brass buttons on their coats.
Tho marine Insignia nre slightly dif
ferent. In the llrst place tho mark
ings are In gold and therefore much
'brighter and are moro noticeable. This
Is true only with the dress uniform.
"With the khaki clothes tho men wear
Held chevrons with narrow marks. A
marine corporal has two stilpes mid a
t.ergeiint three stripes. A tlrst sergeant
lias a diamond tinder Ills stripes, uud a
M-rgeaut major has additional stripes
tiuder the diamond. A gunnery scr
Keuiit has u leaf and nn acorn under
Ills str!K!s; n quartermaster sergeant
line quills; a drummer has cross sticks
nnd it trumpeter crossed bugles. Offl
rrs In the marine corps have their In
flgnU on both arms. Philadelphia

SERPENTS AS HYPNOTISTS.
The Charm They Uso on Animals Thoy
Succumb to Themselves.
Cases of fascination by' serpents of
birds and other small animals havo
been too frequently reported to admit
of serious doubt on the subject. Evi
dently It Is simply n kind of hypnotism
and based, like human hypnotism,, on
the effects of rhythmical Impressions
made upon tbo nervous system.
Experiment has proved that tho mo
notonous swinging of u glittering ob
ject before the eyes will throw many
men and women Into hypnotic sleep.
When it serpent charms or fascinates a
bird or small quadruped It employs n
similar method. It sways, Its head with
glittering eyes or sets Its brilliantly
colored colls Into silent rhythmic move
ment within sight of Its victim, nnd
the latter gradually yields to tho in
tlueuce. Hut the most dangerous serpents arc
themselves subject to this very hyp
notic control, a (act which Is tho basis
of the proceedings of tho serpent
charmers of India and those of oth
er Countries where veuoiuous snakes
abound.
Music, or tho monotonous repetition
of musical notes, appears to bo tbo
most effective agent In serpent charm
ing. It may be remarked that accord
ing to some observers tho sounds pro
duced by a rattlesnake, nnd even the
loud hissing of some serpents, have n
hypnotic IiiUucuce, or nt least a sort of
paralyzing force, due probably to ter
ror. The cobras of southorn Asia and
the closely related najas of Africa will
como out of holes, erect their bends
and a part of their bodies and sway
about In it kind of serpent dunce when
they hear the notes of a pipe played
by u skilled performer. '
However, no cobra charmer ever has
sufficient cotilldenco In his control over
his dangerous subjects to neglect the
removal of their fangs.
A cobra bite has becu known to kill
a man within a few minutes of Its In
fliction. Garrett I'. Scrvlss In IJctroit

MEAT IS A STIMULANT.
Heneo, Eaten In Excess, It Is Bad For
Doth Dody and Mind.
Tho director of one of tho largest
physical culture schools In tho United
States said not lung ago to u friend of
mine:
"Every time I eat a piece of good
beefsteak I feel as stimulated us If I
had drunk a cocktail."
This curious statement embodies n
truth of which most icoplo uro un
aware. Meat Is not merely n food. It also Is
a stimulant, with dctlnlte exhilarating
effects on both mind and body.
Eaten In excess, moreover. It nets
nine'' its docs nn excessive amount of
tho alcoholic beverage mentioned by
tho physical culture director.
That Is to say, It tends. In the first
place, to causo nervous Irritability, mak
ing It more difficult for a man to con
trol his passions und Bometlmcs mak
ing him positively savage.
And. in tho second place, when eaten
In excess it makes him mentally Inert
nnd stupid.
The reason for this second effect Is
well known to all scientific students of
food values.
Cooked meat, the form In which meat
usually Is eaten. Is nut easy to digest.
If too much of It I? eaten Imperfect
digestion results, und tho blood stream
Is poisoned by tho decomposing animal
food In tho alimentary ennui,
Not total abstinence, but tempcrnnco
enough meat to spur tho mind, not
enough to deaden It that Is tho lesson
to be drawn from the demonstrated
stimulant effect of nnlmiil food. II.

Argus Eyed and Hydra Headed.
The term "Argus eyed" means watch
ful. According to the Grecian fable.
Argus had 100 eyes, and Juno set him
to watch all of whom slio was jealous
When Argus was slain she transplant
ed bis eyes Into the tall of tho peacock.
"Hydra beaded'' Is a term derived
from the fable of Hercules mid the
hydra. Tho hydra had nine heads, and
Hercules was scut to kill It. As soon
as he struck off ouo of Its heads two
shut up lu Its place.
That's All.

The Peanut.
The common peanut, beloved of tho
smull boy, grows lu u way that Is dis
tinctly original. The little plant scuds
up Its shoots, with tho fruit on the end
of a somewhat stiff stalk, and then be
fore It ripens tho stem bends over nnd
carefully pushes tho fruit underground
Aw pigs uro said to be especially fond
of these. It has been suggested that the
plant does this to hide Its nuts from
the porker's too Inquisitive Investigations.
The Frilled Lizard.
The frilled lizard of Queensland trov
els on Its bind legs on level ground,
keeping the frill folded when running.
When attnckcl It expands this fold of
skin, which stands nut like a ruff at
right angles round the neck, giving It
a most formidable asect. so that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards will
often retreat before a frilled lizard at
bay.

The tire that you and every other

the result of hit or miss efforts.
Some great factory has gone to
the limit in giving you the best that
human ingenuity can produce, and
stakes its reputation on the result.
