An Officer With Vast Responsibilities Who Seldom Gets Much Credit. From the time, less than sixty years ago, when the first steam vessel crossed the Atlantic, the evolution of the marine engineer bas been rapid, but he is the one class of marine craitsman that, above ali others, has kept pace with the developments of this fast- epeeding age, and he stands to-day the most finished product of a century that has g0 in ships. Down in the bowels of the ves- sel, he controls not only the propulsion, but the steering, lighting, pumbp- 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 to her destination and regulates her internal economy is the brain of the ma- rine engineer. His is the real responsi- 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 gailantry of Captain Kane of the Caliiope, in working his ship out of the Samoan anchorage in the teeih of a cycione; who heard of the struegle of the engineer officers with the machinery down beiow, and_how many know even the names of them ?—Pall Mall Gazette. —_————— A young man at Munchberg, Germany, tried to escape military service by disguis ing himself as a fem=le cook.
