From the time, less than sixty years ago, when the first steam vessel crossed the Atlantic, the evolution of the marine engineer has been rapid, but he is the one class of marine craitsman that, above ali others, has kept pace with the developments of this fast- speeding age, and he stands to-day the most finished product of a century that has created more new types and more new occupations than any tnat has preceded it. The marine engineer to-day is more important than any deck officer, but his importance is as litile recognized by the non-seafaring man as his identity is con- cealed from the view of those who travel W Euckminster, Boston E H Muson, Boston 3 D Hilliard, Boston W v ~argent, Chicago CF Quincy, Chicugo Z ~ Spalding, Hon lalu Noyes Yokohoma W Harsey, San Jose C W Evaps, Chicago Mrs F P Porkins.

Dixon in ships. Down in the bowels of the ves- sel, he controls not only the propulsion, but the steering, lightine, pump- ing, anchoring and ventilation of the modern marine structure, and on the war- ship he is even responsible for the ma- nipulation of heavy guns. The eyes that steer the ship are those of the officer of the watch, but the brain that guides the ship 10 her destination and regulates her nternal economy is the brain of the m: rine engineer. His is the real respons! bility, and, we are afraid, his is the least share of tire honor that is given to those who serve their country or their employ- ers with courage and devotion on the sea. All the world heard of the gallantry of Captain Kane oi the Calliope, in working his ship out of the Samoan anchorage in the teeth of a cyclone; who heard of the struegle of tie engineer officers with the machinerv down below, and how many know even the names of them ?—Pall Mall Gazette. —_———— A young man at Munchberg, Germany, tried to escape military service by disgui ing himself as a fem=le cook.
