STEERINGA BOAT,
The Rig of the Tiller Ropes Often
a Source of Danger.
A CURIOUS LACK OF SYSTEM.
On Some Vessels the Chains Are Cross
ed, and on Others Thay Are Straight,
and This May Mean Serious Trouble
With a Strange Hand at ths Wheel.
A bronzed pilot was carefully uurs
Ing a bijj Atlantic liner through the
murk and confusion of early morning
and Innumerable passing craft up the
crowded waters of New York bay. The
ship was crowded with passengers,
most of whom bad risen betimes to
watch their homecoming. A tense ex
pression, brought on by the tremendous
responsibility, cast Its grim lines over
the pilot's face as he turned Into the
lower Iludson river and saw a dense
fofbank creeping down from the Pal
isades. Three miles still to go, and
3,000 lives In his hands! Slowly he
crept along, almost touching a ferry
load of commuters. Just skipping a
triple tow of sand scows, threading
his way through the maze of vessels
big nud little; the fog, denser and
more dense, making it impossible to
see the shadow of nearlng craft more
than a couple of lengths away.
Suddenly a departing liner, just
hauled out Into the stream, loomed up
off the starboard bow.' TUe pilot turn
ed ghastly white. "My God! Crossed
chains or straight chains? Crossed
or straight? Heaven help me!" In
almost lustant desperation be called
"Ilard aport!" the quartermaster
swung tue wneei over ana tue nnge
floating hotel slowly turned out and
glided by. almost scraping the other.
"Crossed chains straight chains?"
What does this mean? It means this
that there is no invariable rule or sys
tem of arranging the tiller ropes on
vessels so that the latter always move
in the same direction in response to a
similar turn of the wheel. If equipped
with "crossed chains" the craft will
turn the opposite way; If with
"straight chains' the wheel must be
turned in the same direction the vessel
is desired to go. Most ocean vessels
ire equipped with straight chains,
Jiougb this is by no means an Invari
able custom. Sailing craft may be and
ire fixed either way. On the other
band, harbor boats, including tow
boats, tugs, etc., generally have crossed
tiller ropes.
Thus our pilot friend bad spent most
if his nautical life aboard tugs and
5ther inland boats and when confront
?d with a crisis of great responsibility
wavered momentarily between the in
3uence of his habit of twenty years
ind the newly acquired information
;iven him as he went aboard. It was
just by the sheerest chance that he or- j
Jered the wheel turned the correct
way.
An able ocean seaman signed for a
round trip from Buffalo to Duluth and.
isked- if he could handle the wheel,
was sent to the pilot house. They
were already under way, nud, not be
ng familiar with the uncertainties of
1 steering gear, be neglected to ask the
usual question, "Crossed chains cr
straight chains?" Tbe coal steamer
aeared a scow load of bricks. "Hard
aport!" called the mate. The helms
man Dung his wheel to starboard, as
'be had been used to do on the high
seas, and his vessel bore down upou
'he unsuspecting tow. "Hard nport,
rou idiot!" yelled the mate. "Don't
Fou know this boat' has crossed
bains?" He reversed the wheel and
missed the scow by a bare graze.
Such-Incidents as these nre by no
means rare in navigating experience.
hough fortunately serious accidents
:herefrom are uncommon either be
;ause of a benignant fate watching
iver befuddled men at the wheel or
3ecause they instinctively follow the
lew conditions und turn the helm lu
;he right direction. Pilots themselves
icoff at suggestions of danger, saying
;hat n real seaman's instinct will al
ways save him from making mistakes.
.VII the same, a man experienced iu
inindling vessels of their own particu
lar character Is generally standing by
;he newcomer nt the wheel for safety's
;uke.
A more common danger, ns far as
:be general public is concerned. Is the
juiversal lack of unity in arranging
ho steering apparatus on motorhoats.
Most of these craft are exceedingly
small, and the tiller ropes nre put in
it the beginning of every season by
he owners themselves, to suit their
ran particular notions. So. in every
lotilla will be seen steering gear of
very description, from simple tillers
o elaborate brass mounted wheels, the
after with either crossed or straight
hnins. as Individual fancy may die
ate. This Is safe as long as the
jwner or one used to the craft Is nt
he wheel, and not many accidents are
eported In such circumstances. But
teeidents have resulted when on ama
lur used to crossed ropes has steered
boat oppositely rigged.
But when one used to a laonch with
crossed ropes" (requiring turning the
.vheel opposite to the direction the
wat Is to got takes the wheel of an
lufomobile. then the passengers are
'ortunate Indeed If they are not put
oto perilous situations: for motorists
ire Dot always provided with the "safe
otlnct" nseribed to experienced sea
nen. and aatos more In tbe same dl--ectloD
tba wheel la turned.
Qowerer, crossed chains and straight
tains will probably go oo taeir own
iweet Irresponsible existence for Just
ia long as some great catastrophe la
iot put op to thalr lack of regulation.

RAPID AMERICANS.
An English Critio on Our Barbsr Shopa
and Rocking Chsirs,
I cnunot Imd that quickness la an
American characteristic. What Is mis
taken for quickness is a kind of nerv
ous fidgets, for the American Is In
finitely restless and nervous. It la
shown In his passion for dolus many
things at once. The bnrhi-r shop, a
thlug characteristically American, af
fords a wonderful example of this sub
stitution of restlessness and circum
stance for real rapidity aud economy
of time. The business man. still In
his dramatic charueter of a locomotlva
pressed for time, hurries Into the bar
ber shoo and extends himself In a
chair, feet and hands outspread, a
bootblack engaged on each boot, a
manicurist on each hand aud the bar
ber himself operating on his head.
But such are the seductions or the
barber shop that he probably spends
twentv minutes or half an hour there,
ns against the Englishman's four or
five minutes.
It is time simply wasted, from a
business Doint of view; that Is to say.
It is spent in sheer luxury. For the
Americans, being among the cleanest
neople In the world, have a Roman
sense of luxury in everything that ap
pertains to washing and care of the
bodv: and their lavatories und barber
shons nre like temples raised to some
goddess of health and cleanliness. And,
finally, it was America that Invented
that triumph In the achievement of
wo opposite things at once the rock
ing chair. So restless Is the Ameri
can that even when he Is resting he
wants to be moving, and consequently
he has achieved this infernal engine,
the rocking chair, In which (when he
Is obliged to remain In one place for a
time) he can indulge lu a continuous
movement which yet does not advance
him nn Inch. He can thus be busy
even while he is nt rest-Filson Young

ANIMALS WITH HANDS.
Kangaroos Are Fond of Using Their
Fore Feet In Feeding.
Kangaroos use their hands very read
ily to hold food iu and to put it into
their mouths. As their fore legs are so
short that they have to browse in n
stooping position, they seem pleased
when able to secure a large bunch of
cabbage or other vegetable provender
and to hold it in their hands to eat.
Sometimes the young kangaroo, look
ing out of itr mother's pouch, catches
one or two of the leaves whiqh the old
oue drops, und the pair may be setn
each nibbling at the salad held iu their
hands, oue, so to speak, "one floor"
above the other.
The slow, deliberate clasping and
unclasping of a chameleon's feet look
like the movements which the hands of
n sleep walker might make rwere he
trying to creep downstairs, fhe cha
meleon's are almost deformejj hands,
yet they have n superficial restfmblance
to the feet of parrots, which more thau
other birds use their feet for many of
the purposes of a hand when feeding.
To see many of the smaller rodents
ground squirrels, prairie dogs and, mar
mots hold food, usually in both paws,
is to learn a lesson in the dextrous use
of hands without thumbs.
Nothing more readily suggests the
momentary Impression that a pretty
little monkey is "a man and a brother"
than when he stretches out his neat lit
tle palm, fingers and thumb and, with
all the movements proper to the civi
lized mode of greeting, insists on shak
ing hands. London Graphic.

FOOfTRULES OF SELLING.
Tey
Went With the Job the
Salesman Landed.
Gritty
Until some ten years ago it was an
axiom In the big packing bouse circles
of Chicago that a salesman should be
guided by four rules as laid down by
one of tbe famous beads of that In
dustry, lie was uoted for bis brusque
ness and also a democratic mature
that scorned the usual hedge of clerks
that stands between a big man and his
callers.
A bright mnuly looking chap entered
the office oue day when he was very
busy.
"Good morning." be began politely.
The packer gave him a hasty glunce.
"Well, what the blankety-blnnk-blank
do you want?" he growled.
"1 want civil treatment, aud I want
(t bluukety-blank-blauk quick," came
the sharp answer.
"OhI" The packer looked up in sur
prise. Modulating his voice a trifle,
he asked, "What can I do for you?"
"I want a Job as a salesman. I have
Torked as a butcher, I hare worked
In the packing houses, and I have sold
smaller lines to tbe meat trade. I have
references to prove that I deliver the
goods, and I have them with me. I
want to get into a bigger field, and I
am here to make good. Have you got
a Job open?"
"If we haven't we'll make an open
ing for you. Report to the sales man
ager Monday morning."
As the young man started to leave
the office the brusque old packer called
him back.
"Do you know why you got that
Job?" be asked.
"No, sir."
"Well, you have the three essentials
that make a good salesman. I'll point
them out to you, so you'll remember
'em. First, you don't think any man is
better than you are, and you have the
nerve to stick to it; second, you knew
the good points of what you bad to
Bell; third, you stated them in the few
est possible words. I'll udd a fourth
get out before 1 change my mind."

THE POLE STAR.
Some of the Wonders of This Great
Beacon of the North.
Most people, if they know nothing
else of astronomy, at any rate know
the pole star, the one star which seems
to keep Its place lu the heavens wlth
Dut movement of any kind. There are
i great many, however, who do not
know what a wouderful thing it is. In
the first place, it can be seen when
looked at through a good telescope to
be two stars and not one. There is one
fairly bright one. of what is kuown as
the second magnitude, and another of
the ninth magnitude close to It
But that is not all. The brighter of
the two is really three stars revolving
round one another, or rather round
their common center of gravity, like
three children playing "ring a ring o'
roses." This secret is revealed to us
by what is perhaps the most astonish
ing of all scientific instruments, the
spectroscope. It not only tells us what
he stars are made of, but whether
they are moving toward us or away
from us.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north. The reason
that it does not appear to meve ns the
ot hers do is because It is nearly in line
with the nxis of the earth. Its distance
from us is enormous. This can be
judged from the fact that although the
earth in its Journey round the sun Is
today about VJO.0OO.000 miles from
where it was six months ago. that
makes no appreciable difference to its
distance from the pole star. It must
therefore he many times 100,000.000
miles away.
