OEVIGES THAT LESSEN LABOR Little Romance Left In the Sailor Life Great Change Madu In Recant Years. I Washington S:ar.) If s;ta.m am) electricity have, as ha ben said, killed romance at ia." ihey have also relieved Jack Tar and his officer of most of the soul-kiiling work and a majority of the perils which formerly made their practical Hws anything but romantic in fact. I Most of the modern shipV heavy work is done by machinery, and the orders for its doing are conveyed, not by "the hoars? note of the speaking trumpet," but by precise electrical Im pulses communicated through the agency or tne mecnanicai-magnetic telegraph. Only old-fashioned wooden vessel. or coasters of inconsiderable tonnage de pend today upon the "beef and brawn" of the men in their forecastles for the prrformance-of those tasks of drudgery which in the days of yore occupied much of a sailor's time and made of his existence ntloaf and alongside the dock of arrival or "departure a burden to be borne only In the hope of easUr times in the future. The modern ocean-going vessel, bv her means of propulsion steam or sails, and be h?r business the carrying of freight, passenger or malls, is equipped with a great variety of mechanical de vices which relieve the men of her company of most of the work demand ing nothing hut physical exertion. In cidentally, these devices, of course, re duce the numbers of men employed in the ships, on the man-per-ton ratio, and make necessary the presence In the forecastles and engine rooms of a high er quality of intelligence than was nec essary under the simple old system. Bui the reduction of men is com pensated by the multiplicity of the ships, and the circumstance of con stantly increasing tonnage. Doubtless romance or picturesque ef fect suffers in the substitution of a puffing, rattling steam-windlass for the old-fashioned capstan a round which thirty men crept In slow, circular pro cession, timing their steps to the cadence of a sailor's "chantey," as they laboriously "broke out" an anchor or warped their craft to mid-stream pre paratory, to sailing. The "chantey's" characterise ic words and music would be drowned in the clatter ot pistons and cogs alniard a modern ship, but the anchor comes aboard in half the time it used to take to hoist it, and the thirty men may be bending intelligent eftort to per forming tasks mere important and in finitely Uss straining than that of rais ing it. So. ukj. with the work of hoisting the heavy sails aboard a -modern freighter, which depends upon canvas for its mobility. In the old days a ship of SJU tons would perforce carry a crew of sixty men. When sail was to be made or shortened quickly the yards of her thin spars would swarm with agile figures, long lines of men would "tail on" to her braces, halliards and stay, and the canvases would labor iously rise in regular impulses to the lugubrious measures of a song. The sailing ship today carries don key engines, steam windla.es at every hatch for hoisting cargo, and another on her forecastle for use in handling the anchors. he has steam "gypsies" fed from her donkey bailers, a; every mast-toot, and the work of getting Iht anchor or hoisting her canvas involves only the expert effort of an engineer and a dozen nv so men aloft, who. as they perform the light labor of loosing reef-points and overhauling clewgar nets. do not think of "Paddy Jones" or his traditional boots unless U b to offer up a thanksgiving that the system associated with their memory has passed. But the profitable ship of tod ly. freighter or liner, is the steam-driven, twin-screwed carrier of tremendous tonnage and high speed. Sh earns dividends where the best of the sailing ships em up their profits in delays due to wind and weather even after the important item of coal consumption has been taken into account. And the profitable ship is profitable because ap plied science has substituted the machine which draws no wage for the man. who must be paid, anil becauso the coal she burns gives her practical independence of the moods of win!, wave and current. The modern freight carrier and th modern "ocean greyhound" differ onlv in their interior arrangements and ex terior lines. One is a floating hotel, built for high speed: the other a tloai- ing warehouse built for cargo capacity and steady going. Their machinery, with a few individual peculiarities, "is the same, and of that machinery there : is no end at least to the eye of a lay man. Most of the new ships of the mer chant marine are propelled by twin screws driven each by a triple expan sion engine of highest ithclency. A dozen double-end Scotch boilers supply their main and auxiliary engines with steam at a pressure of l."0 to 2) pounds to the square inch. Besides the main engines, a modern vessel will contain in the depths below her water line, and on her decks, from ten to thirty smaller engines, each PIIASr.S OF THL CONTIIST IX Till".

At every hatchway there U another windlass or winch, driven by double engines, for hoisting and lowering car go in loading and unloading, and for handling iwiats or sails in cae of ne cessity.
