A NAVAL CENTENNIAL Hunéredth Anniversary of the Launching of the Constitution. {MOST FAMOUS OF AMERICAN SHIPS Some of the Interesting Incidents in Her Glorious History. 2 TO HONOR OLD IRONSIDES Written for The Evening Star. . “Old Ironsidcs” is one hundred years old next Monday. September 20, 1797, was the ay set for the launching of the old battle Snip, and now, a century after the historic event, she still survives the wear and tear of peace and war. Charlestown harbor, Eoston, was where the launching finally took place. The American navy is, there- fore, just a century old, for the Constitu- tion was one of the first battle ships built by the then youthful government, after it had achieved its independence. It will be a source of patriotic rejoicing to Americans that “Old Ironsides” is to be present on this occasion. She was one of the first trio of battle ships built by the United States, and is by all odds the most femous vessel that ever fioated the Amerl- can flag. To survive the dangers of war, and, what is sometimes more wasting—the decay of peace—through one hundred years, is a record more remarkable for a ship than for a man, and “Old Ironsides” deserves all the praise lavished on her in speech and song. There is no other vessel the associa- tions of which are enwrapped with so many names familiar in our history, or that can boast such a record of gallant achievements by American tars. Great Men Have Walked Her Dec Hull, Bainbridge, Decatur, Rodgers and Stewart were among her captains. Paul Revere furnished the brass bolts and spikes that went into her sturdy frame. Betsy Ress, “mother of the American flag,” sewed the great banner of fifteen st: stripes that floated 7s and fifteen above her when she first breasted the Hoimes wrcte an ode to her that familiar to every schoolboy. Lord Byron was once a gvest on board, and Captain Dacres, afterward a British ad- niiral, was entertained there as a prisoner. Her record during the war of 1812 included the capture of three first-class British fri- gates, 154 guns, th) prisoners and property crth above $1.0W),000, Truly, if ever a ship deserved to have her birthday remem- bered in her ripe old age the Constitution rc lt w: A in 1794, in view of the troubles that President Washington n. Henry Knox, Secretary of War yas not then arate depart- ded the buiiding of a num- frigates. The country single man-of-war. ‘The few merchant vessels that had been hastily fitted out for service in the revolution had heen dismantled or returned to their earlier uses. Congress was by no means a unit on the pla tablish a ravy, and the bill for the building of six fifigates of ‘nof less an thirty-two guns” had a majority of | erly two votes in the House of Representa- ves, Most Powerful Vessel of Her Time. | Of the six vessels thus provided for only three were at once built. They were the titution, of 44 guns, 1,576 tons burden costing $302,719, which was built at lestown; the United States, of the game size, built at Philadelphia and the Constel- lation, of 36 guns and 1,265 tons, built at Baltimore. They were all of American plan and build; the designer was Mr, Joshua Humphreys of Philadelphia. That he was a man of vigorous ideas is shown by his response to General Knox when the latter | asked him to submit designs for the pro- osed ships. He said: If we build ships of the same size as the Europeans (they having so great a pumber of them), we shall always be be- hind them. I would build them of large: ze than theirs, and take the lead of them, which is the only safe way of beginning @ witn and This wise counsel was adopted, and the Constitution, with an armament that was increased to guns, was mere power- ful t any frigate of ‘the Europeans.’ Although the Constitution was afterward reckoned the luckiest ship of the navy, her launching was not altogether aus- cious. It had been, arranged to send on September 20, but after et. the ship stuck, and ft ng a few fe found that the dock on which she rested had settled. A second attempt was also unsuccessful, and it was not until Octo! finally floated free. Constitution and Guerricre.

The er exploits of the Constitution, including her escape from Admiral Brobe's ; squadron in a three-days’ chase, her cap- j ture of the Java and Jater of the Cyame and} Levant in a single engagement, are too jar tue require more than mention. Ta Later Years, In 1 thoroughly lestown, and t arouséd considerable the old ship—old even then—was overhauled ard rebuilt at figured in an incident feeling at the | time} though it has since been generally forgotten. Gen. Andrew Jackson was then at the height of his popularity, although then, as aiwa he was bitterly hated by some of the New Englanders. Capt. Elliot, who had charge of the remodeling of the ip, thought to do honor to the President by having a new figure-head constructed, representing Jackson in the Hermitage scene, holding a scroll on which appeared the words: “The Unfon—it must be pre- served.” At once a torrent of protest broke out in New England. The act was illegal, unpre- cedented, a disgrace to the noble old ship, etc. Threats were freely made that the figurehead would not be allowed to keep its place, and after it was mounted on the ship's prow a sentry was detailed to watch it, and every night a lantern was hung where its light would shine on the figure. One dark night, when a terrible storm of thunder and lightning was raging, Capt. Samuel Dewey, a Boston shipper, rowed | out of Charlestown harbor with muffled oars, and climbing into the ship's ‘fore chains sawed off the figurehead almost under the nose of the sentry. The affair was a great mystery for a time, but after the excitement had somewhat subsided Dewey journeyed to Washington, carrying the figurehead in a bag, and there turned it over to the Secretary.of the Navy. He yas never punished for his act. The Past Half Century. The past half century has been an un- eventful one for old Ironsides. She ¢id duty many years as a training ship, and gt the outbreak of the civil war she was anchored at Annapolis. It was feared that she would fall into the hands of the con- federates, and she was towed to New York. She was afterward removed tb Philadel- phia, and some years agoywas towed to Portsmouth, where she remained until September 1 of the present year, when she was brought back to Charlestown for the celebration in honor ef. her century of ex- istence. A plan that has been recently put forward in several quarters, and that may be adopted, is to station the old ship.at Re- . MBER 18, 1897-24 PAGES.

It is believed that b; this means she will be assured of - tion for another hundred years, hat she will serve a useful purpose as a con- stant object_lesson in patriotism to the younger generation of Americans. —iI 3 IN THE CHURCHES ba fi 3 sr The Hibbard memorial window, which is to be one of the seven‘ windows in; the chance! of the New Church,lwill soon be put in place.

Efforts to Plant Grass and Stop the Drifts. From the Scientific American. e A sand storm on Cape Cod, back of Prov- incetown, is something more to be dreaded than a western blizzard. When the wind blows in a gale from the northeast the soft, light sand drifts in immense clouds, completely obscuring all objects around farther-than ten feet away. It is worse than snow in many respects. It not only covers up the road or trail in a short time, but it changes the general features of the landscape permanently. People get Jost in en the storm jidered an = puzzied in trying to locate their home: sand may not be as freezing cold as the snow, but it is ar injurious. It cw Ag) It Strikes it, and perform me operation as a who have been lost out in the furious storms, and members of the life trol, have returned home at their faces lacerated and discolored so they resembled raw beef. iven the windows of the houses are the flying sand that they placed often by new one: storm it is almost impos: the glass. People now shut the blinds ot the houses facing the wind dur storms in order to save the glass. No man can face the sand clouds and endure the pain for long. As the prevailing sea winds are from the northeast on the cape, the sand dunes are drifting steadily and persisiently teward Provincetown. Many years ago it was made compulsory by law for tie citizens of Cape Cod to turn out every spring and plant Marram grass to shut out the sea, and Provincetown owes its existence today to wise laws which empowered a ‘‘beach gras: commiitee” to enter any man’s incio: garden or field and plant marram gras: the sand was uncovered or movable. The purpose of the harbor and land com- missioners now is to make the work of iaying the sands permanent and endu The tract of land compri between and 4,000 acres on the extreme norther'y point of the cape, and it was purchased by the colony of New Plymouth from the In- dians in 1692. The land faces the Atlanii ocean on one side, and stretches back to a belt of woods, which the early inhabitants of Provincetown planted to protect their town and harbor from the sand storm: Recently, however, the sand belt has Le steadily encroaching upon the wooded tract, and it is to prevent the destruction of work already accomplished that the commissioners have set out $o reclaim the sandy beach from the sea and wind. Sinee 1884 appropriations aggregating $10,000 have been spent by the commission- ers in experiments on ‘the sand-restraining qualities of various plants and trees, and about fifty aeres of have been re- elaumed by being covered with besch grass and vegetation.

This trouble is universal, and dam- ages a great deal of meat. In hot climates it is found exceedingly difficult to freeze meat, as the carcasses cannot be cooled entirely of the latent animal heat before putrefaction sets in. It fs also found that if freezing is commenced before this heat is got rid of the cold on the outside con- centrates the heat inward to the bore, so that while there is a shell of frozen, and, therefore, well-preserved, meat on the out- side, the inrer portion near the bones is not frozen. As the freezing process goes on tkis heat is driven farther inward, and this is the cause of all the trouble. To over- come this difficuity, two New Zealand ventofs have devised a method of freezing the meat from the center, so that the heat is driven outward. ey The apparatus consists of a hollow steel shaped like the scabbard of a sword, but divided internally frem the hilt to near the pcint by a steel partition. The brine or other freezing agency enters this from the supply pipe through the tube to the hilt of the instrument, passes up one side to the peint, returns down the other, then passes out through the second tube to the exhaust pipe and is returned to the refrigerator to be recooled. Sometimes this steel is in- serted in the bones themselves and so reaches the center of the meat; and in othr cases alongside the bones. To with- draw the instrument the freezing agent is cut off by a triple cock, and a warm fluid passed through in its place, which instant- ly releases the adhesion between the blade and the meat. o+—_____ Bees to Stop a Mob, From “Our Dumb Autmals.” *During the discussion of the “Bee Keep- ers’ Convention,” held at the American In- stitute in October last, Dr. 8. B. Parsons of Flushing, L. I., while speaking of his experience in “bee keeping” and his profits. and lIcsses, made the remark that he re- gretted that he didn’t have an opportunity once of letting his bees loose on a New ork mob. . id Mr. Parsons: “During the draft riot of New York one of the leaders of the mob sent. me word that they were going to pay me a visit I gave my men orders to set my hives of bees on the edge of a veranda about fifteen feet from the ground, and when the mob came near, to knock them over, when I expected rare fun in seeing them scatter the crowd, but as the ferry stopped running the fun was spoiled.” A capital plan this of Dr. Parsons—Wt it be remembered bees will scatter a crowd with their little Javelins quicker than police or soldiers with powder and ball. mighty hard thing to HOTELS. ‘This List Appears Every Saturday.
