A signal code is the language of ships at oca. If the cruisers of the I'nlted Slates navy were to lose their power of speaking to one another the effect upon the navy would be disastrous. Speech at sea between warships Is as necessary as speech on land between mortals. Kor years and years experts have been at work getting np a sys tem of ship signals by which vessels could communicate with each other quickly and perfectly, but up to date no perfect system has been devised. There Is not on the face of the earth or on the see a perfect system of ship sig naling. There are in existence a great many signals which are In constant use. but oil these have their Imperfec tions. Some are faultier than others. The great obstacle In the way of ship signaling Is the distance. There are a great many signals which are good within eyesight, but as soon as the eye sight falls the signals become useless. In case of a fog a great many eystcmiJie thrown out; othe»i become useless at night; other systems have to he dls carcd because they depend wholly up on color and color la extremely apt to fill when most needed. The eyes are datelved by the rapid Hashing. Kiss systems are very good, but In case of a calm the flags hang limp and then even (he flag system Is useless. This is, however, about the most efficacious of all and is In general use all over the world. Swrft Tod##. When Cspt.

Code ought to be comprehensive and clear and not expensive. 2. It ought to provide for not less i than 20,000 distinct signals, and should besides be capable of designating not j less than 50.000 ships with power of extension If required. 3. It should express the nature of the signal made by the combination of the signs employed, and the more Im portant signals should be expressed by the more simple combinations. 4. A signal should not consist of more than four (lags or symbols at oue hoist. 5. A signal should be made complete In one hoist. In one place. 6. Signals should have the same meaning wherever shown. 7. The signal book should be ar ranged numerically and alphabetically. 8. The code should be so framed as to be capable of adaptation for Inter national communication. The international code is undeninbly good, it is used by men-of-war in com municating with each other. It is a good all-round system. Our l’rlvats Signal*. Every navy bag Its own signals, by whir It it can talk without being under stood by strangers. It was this pilvato set of signals which caused ('apt. Slgs bec so much worrlment after the Maine wa blown up. Our own pet signal sys tem is the wig-wag. which is the best known of all sea signal*. It Is done by wig-wagging a flag from right to left, from left to right, from front to bark, and from back to front. It is generally operated by the hand, but when distant wig-wagging is done it is operated by means of a very large me chanical arm. Our navy adopts the Meyer code of signai'ug. This Is the code used by private yachts and by many people in country places who de sire to communicate with each other and who do not own a telephone. At sea in a private ya> 'at the wig-wag in ; iui»d to communicate with the >a* ht honseM on land, or with frl«nda ashore. | or even with parsing vessels. It cun i be done with a flag, a poiket h*udk*r j ' hlef, an oar, a I room or any Iraple ' tnenl.

Is shown instantly in the elec tric lights by three red lights, reading from top to bottom. 7. would be shown by four white lights and W by red, red. white and red, reading from top down. This Is very quick and can be depended upon in case of a fog or at a great dis tance. Beyond three miles the search light has to be used, which Is a slow, difficult method, but is quite successful. The searchlight is generally operated by the wig-wag, as It can be easily turned from side to side. There Is a signal system which consists ofsendlng up different colored stars, red. white, yellow and blue, which are shot Into the sky. Tlieve are read by a private signal system. It Is doubtful If a per fectly satisfactory system ofsignals will ever be Invented. The trouble Is with the elements. What Is good In clear weather will not work In cloudy weather and the cloudy weather sig nals are too flow for fair weather. The system used in fog would not be pos.«i ble in clear weather, and the wig-wag which is necessary in case of calm would not he necessary when the breezes blow. So, after all, the signal system Is about as complete as it will ever bo. It certainly enables Commo dore Schley to aslt Admiral Sampson for orders and It enables Admlr.il Sampson to command the New York. Indiana. Iowa and all other good ships to attack the enemy at the right mo ment. FALSE PATRIOTISM, •She Felt Much ua Du Many Other* Who* .Merely Looking On.

From the Washington Post: If Paul Jones in ghostly guite wander* around the warships of our new navy he moat see many surprising a tecs Ties lo the righting fortes us organized in Its day. One no.cl ant! useful addition to the crew of a warship of the present tine is the submarine diver. The impor tance of this individual to the welfare of a warship has been amply shown during the recent operations against the Spanish fleets. Speed has bren the moat Important point In the maneuver ing during the opening events of the war. and this has rendered it neces sary for our ships to be In the best possible trim for fast work. As. ow ing to the lack of foresight on the part of those responsible, we are not pro vided with the necessary dry docks lo enable us to clean the foul bottoms of our vessels when they come eft a long voyage, it has been necessary to send divers down to do the work as bea: they could. It has not been done well, but It has been the best kind of substitute that ' could be found for the proper article. ; When a ship gors into dry dock, and is j scraped clear of the barnacles and sei i weed and rank growth that accumula: ! ed there during a sea voyage, and Is i then treated to a new coat of paint, ! she pmerge* from the dry dock as clejn j and flt as when the made her maiden I ' i iir ruuiumiu'- uittib air awn only to scrape away the barnacles and seaweed, and even (hen they are so handicapped by th» heaviness and un handiness of their dress that it is im possible to do the work in any but a clumsy and Incomplete way. But good work or bad. the diver has become a necessary part of the ship's [ crew. Many warships carry one or more trained divers, and to attain to the rating of diver requires special qualifications. Before being sent for training the man applying has to un dergo an extremely rigorous medical examination. The diving apparatus In use in our navy is a costly affair. The method of Its working Is simple. He i3 not a prepossessing sight, this monster with the huge head-drers and tlie glaring eyes, but his usefulness to the navy is immeasurable. He was wanted In a hurry, and unfortunate’/ was not on hand w hen the Nlaiue went down Into the mud of Havana harbor, lie will be wanted in coming engage | mcnls to patch holes in the sides of l war craft. If these wounds mercifully i fail short of being mortal; he will as sist In wrecking operations when it is found necessary to go fishing for the valuable portion of a Spanish fleet's equipment after we have treated It as Dswey treated the enemy's fleet at Ma nila: he will be ready to help a United I States vessel out of a score of unfore seen troubles that may arise when the ; modern warship gets down to fighting that is not all cne-sided. Theoretically, the submarine diver is a formidable aid in operations again*: the enemy. Whether or not he ; will be fo in practice remains to be j seen. The theorists a3crt that the div : er can be sent under water on dark ; nights to grope his way into the mined j entrances to harbors and cut the wires | connecting the explosives with the i shore; or they say he can attach mines j to the ke»ls of anchored war craft and explode the mines when he reaches a : safe distance; or he can saw the cables ; of anchored vessels and put their crews i to great Inconvenience, If not in a po ! sition of positive danger. There is scarcely any limit to the | 'htorists' suggestions for u-dng the sub marine diver as a means of offense in ; naval campaigns, but most of the plans are visionary, and it Is probable that j the most practical use to which the | diver can ce pm is to clean anti repair i the ships of his own nation when It is j necessary that the cleaning and rs 1 palling he done extraneously and fa cilities are not at hand to dry dock the I vessel.

' INDIAN WOMEN AS NURSES. They Have Mot Ooly Shill end Rraco hot Or' t Physical Endurance. “I never feel the least bit uneasy when I leave my case in the hands of one of these Indian women,” was the tribute Just paid by a leading physician of Philadelphia to the young Indian women who have entered the field of trained nursing, says the New York Tribune. While the public, as a gen eral rule, would hardly stop to consider that the profesalon of trained nursing requiring all the delicate attributes of womanhood, would be adapted to the daughters of wild and savage ancestry, the fact remains that Oneida, Ottawa, Wyandotte, and even Sioux girls, edu cated and trained, are showing most remarkable aptitude for the profession. Capt. H. It. Pratt, the superintendent of the Indian industrial school at Car lisle, Pa., declarte, Indeed, that the time is not far distant when Indian girls will be regarded by the medical profession at large as the most suc cessful trainer! nurses In the country. Their first Introduction Into the hos pital training schools, after they had pasted through a careful course of in struction at Carlisle, is due to the ef forts of Capt. Pratt, who believes the Indians have a future, and Is firmly of the opinion that as a class they are quite capable of entering the occupa tions of the white man or woman; that their dwellings should no longer be in the woods or on the prairie exclusively, but also in the hives of Industry of the whites, the cities, the ofilces, the mills, the hospitals, and on the farms. A!) the training at the Carlisle school Is carried on with such an ultimate ob Ject In view and with great success. The first instruction which the Indian girls who have been graduated as trained nurses received in their profes sion was In the Indian school hos pita!, where during this preliminary training, they showed such marked ability that they were sent to complete their training In the hospitals cf Phila delphia. At present Miss Nancy Sene ca, a young full-blooded Indian maiden, is studying at the Medlco-Chlruglcal hospital in that city. Miss Kate Orlnd rod, a full-blooded Wyandfitte Indian, who was educated at Carlisle, Is one of the most successful professional nurses. During the edldemio at Carlisle In 1890 and 1891 she volunteered her services as a nurse, and succeeded so well that, acting upon theadvice of physiclans.sbe entered the Woman's hospital at Phila delphia. Her servl'ca are eagerly sought by many of th- leading families of thet <lty. Including Miss Nancy Seneca, who will soon complete her course, eight Indian girls, who first graduated at Carlisle school, have dur ing the la'il few years become trained nurses and are now probably employed In Independent practice. The first In dian woman In the world to complete i a cottree In trained nursing was Miss Nancy Cornelius, an Oneida. She ar rived at the Carlisle school from the reservation In 1895, and entered the second grade. Being of a delicate con stitution she was obliged to pass much of her time In the echoed hospital for treatment, and, desiring some occupa tion. she soon became a competent as sistant to the nurse In charge. In Oc tober. 1888. Misa Cornelius left CarllsU and went to' the training school for curses at Hartford, Conn., where she graduated two years later. Since then 3he has lived In Hartford. Comment ing on Indian women as trained nurses a physician who had had much expe rience with them In his practice said: "Indian girls seem to possess every requisite to make an Ideal trained nurse. They are remarkably Intelli gent, and have nerve and great cour age; they never become Hurried or ex cited, but keep the r b'ads perfectly at the most trying and critical mo ments. They also, as a rule, possegs considerable physical strength and great endurance; withal they are kind and attentive, following out the doc toi a directions to the letter." Young America on War.

Knjor 8t*d« Bonnet Turned from Tmtm log to Frffbootlng. In the St. Nicholas Mr. Frank H I Stockton continues his sketches of "The Buccaneers of our Coast, with an account of "Blackboard and fcteue Bonnet, two famous pirates. Concern ing the latter Mr. Stockton says: Early In the eighteenth century there llvel In Bridgetown. In the Island of Barba dos. a very pleasant, middle aged gen tleman named Major Stede Bonnot. Ha was a man In comfortab'e crcum stanres, and had been an officer In the British army. He had retired from military service, and had bought a*i estate at Bridgetown, where be lived In comfort aud was respected by his neighbors. But for some reason or other thla quiet and reputable gnntie man got It Into his head that he should like to be a pirate. But besides the general reasons why Major Bonnet should not become a pirate, and wh ct> applied to all men as well as to him self, there was a special reason against bis adoption of the profession of a sea robber— he was an out-and-out Und' man and knew nothing whaievrr of nautical affairs. He was fond of his tory and well read In the literature of tho day. He was accustom* d to the habits of good society and knew a good deal about farming and ho.rei and cows and poultry. But notwith standing his absolute unfitness for such a life, Major Bonnet was deter mined to become a rltaf*. and he bs came one. He bad money to buy a ship and to fit her out and msn her, and this he quietly did at Bridgetown, nobody supposing that he wbs going to do anything more than start off on some commercial cruise. When every thing was ready hig veasel slipped out of the harbor one night, and after he was sailing upon the rolling s -a he afrtAr) lltmn I tin m i-j rt oe iloclr u n/l nrfl. claimed himself a pirate. He ran up the black flag, girded on a great cut lers, and foldtng bis arms he ordered his mate to stesr the vessel to the coast of Virginia. Bonnet's men were practiced seamen, and so when thla "green hand" came Into the waters of Virginia he actually took two or thr»e vessels and robbed them of their car goes. burning the shiiis and sending the crews ashore. This bad grown to lie a common cststom among I he pir ates, who though cruel and hard hearted, had not the Inducements of the old buccaneers to torture ar.d mur der the crews of the vessels which they captured. It was cailed "marooning" and was some what Ices heartless than the old methods. As Bonnet wished to adopt tho custcirs of the society In which be placed himself, wh?n ha found himself too far from land to put the captured crew on shore be did not hesitate to make them walk the plank, a favorite device of pirates whenever they had no convenient way of di-pos ing of their prisoners.
