: HEAVING THE LEAD
How a Ship Feels Its Way Over
the Bed of the Ocean.
TAKING SOUNDINGS AT SEA.
For Deep Water Work Machines That
Carry 300 Pathoma of Wire and a
Twanty-four Pound Weight Are Used.
Casting by Hand In Bad Weather.
"By the d-e-e-p, nine!"
Tho peculiar, long drawn out cry of
the leadsman In the chains echoes out
as the cruiser gathers speed and be
gins to move through tho water.
"By the m-a-r-k, ten!"
We watch the man as he twirls the
lead In the air, and reels off the sound
lug with mathematical accuracy. lie
is standing In the port "chains"—a
•mall platform, perhaps four feet
square, Jutting out from one end of the i
cruiser's bridge. To us his position I
seems rather precarious, for his perch
overhangs the dark water thirty feel
i below, but the man himself—a season
ed petty officer—feels „perfectly sn fe.
ror ne leans uis Doay against a canvas
"mpron," waist high, while his feet are
firmly placed against a wooden bar se
cured to the platform itself.
But let us watch him as he makes a
cast Qe first sees the end of the lead
line Is properly secured and then pro
ceeds to coil It up in his right hand.
The line Itself, whitened by long use,
has sundry little marks at various dis
tances along It At two fathoms
(twelve feet) from the lead are two
strips of leather, while at three fath
oms there are three. At live fathoms,
and again at fifteen. Is a piece of white
bunting; at seven and seventeen fath- !
oma, a piece of red buntlnu1. and at ten |
a piece of leather with a hole in it. I
At thirteen fathoms comes a rag of j
blue bunting, while at twenty-three Is I
a small bit of line, with two knots tied '
In It, spliced Into the lead line itself.
The lead Hue Is twenty-five fathoms
long, while the lead secured to its end
Is about fourteen pounds in weight
The bottom of It Is hollowed out to re
ceive the "arming" of tallow or soap,
and tills allows the nature of the bot
tom to be ascertained, for the sticky
substance will come to the surface
with particles of mud or sand, etc., ad
hering to it
"Heaving the lead" looks easy
enough, and anybody who is accus
tomed jo doljig it will mi.v that It 1*
quite sitnpie; nut It taiu s a long- rnne ;
before a man becomes a proficient j
leadsman. A novice Is apt to bo fright-1
ened at the whirling fourteen pxind i
weight on the end of its line, and If he
loses heart and omits to give it that
peculiar little Jerk which brings it Hy
ing round In a circle it may fall per
pendicularly in close proximity to his
head.
Heaving the lead may be all right
enough in good weiilher, but In the
winter, when It Is blowing hard, rain
ing or snowing, It Is anything but pleas
ant The driving rain and snow search
out every portion of the leadsman's
anatomy, even though he may be wear
ing oilskins, while his hands get numb
with cold until there Is no feeling left
In them.
xne ueep sea leau nno, wnicn was in
variably used for Ueep water work be
fore the introduction of patent sound
Ing machines and would still l>e used
if they broke down, consists of 100
fethorns of lino and a twenty-eight
pound lead. It Is marked up to twenty
fathoms in the same way as the hand
lead line, and then at twenty-live, thir
ty-flve, forty-five, etc., fathoms with
one knot, and at thirty, forty, fifty,
etc., with three, four or live knots, and
so on. to the greatest depth of the line.
The ship la usually stopped when
using the deep sea line, for It takes a
considerable time for the lead to reach
the bottom.
The patent sounding machine con
sists of 300 fathoms of thin piano wire
wound on a drum, and to the end of
the wire is secured a twenty-four
pound lead with, Just above it, a per
forated brass sheath fitted with a cap.
Before sounding takes place a glass
tube open at one end and coated on'
the Inside with a red chemical com
pound, is placed in the brass sheath.
The wire is then allowed to run out
until the lead Is on the bottom, and
as It descends the pressure forces the
water up the glass tube and turns the
red chemical Into a milky white color
for a certain distance up.
The lead is then hauled in by hand,
or by a motor, and the depth is as
certained by comparing the line of
demarcation between the two colors
in the glass tube with a wooden scale
marked in fathoms.
With these simple but extremely re
liable machines soundings can bo ob
tained at greater depths, and with the
ship traveling at a fur greater speed,
than with the hand lead and line,
though, as already stated, the older
method Is always held in reserve.—

T!-e regular meeting of the Par-|
ent-Teaoher association was held ;
Friday evening, April 2. The pro
gram wa? of much interest as well
as value to the association, the
subjee' of the evening being "Train
ed Parenthood."
Mrs. Suffecool read an excellent
paper which she had prepared ou !
this subject. The following lines,
•i bit of verse from Jilla Wheeler
Wilcox, were used by Mrs. Suffe
cool i>3 an introduction, immediately
givine her readers the key-note of
the entire paper.
"Little Mothers of Men to Be."
Whether you frolic with comrade
boys.
Or sit at your studies or play with
toys;
Whatever your statiou or place or
spliere,
F r just one purpose God sent you
here;
Ard always and ever you are to me,
Uenr little mothers o£ men to be.
So would 1 guard you from all
mean things,
From the dwarfing of wealth and
from poverty's sting;
And from silly mothers of fuss s.nd
show,
Ai>d from dissolute fathers whose
aims are low;
I would tako you and shield you
and set you free,
Dear litrle mothers of men to be.
And then were the wish of my heart
fulfilled,
Around and about you the world ■
should build
A wall of wisdom, with truth for |
its tower,
Where mind and body would wax j
ia tjowe.'.
Till the tender twig was a splen
did tree,
Dear little mothers of men to be.
It is only a dream; but the world
trims wise.
And a mlfhty truth in the dream
seed lies
That sUll gladden '.ho earth in its i
tii'ie and place,
U'e must better the mothers to j
b>,tur the race.
Following this .Mrs. Suffecooi se'r j
forth a wonderfully strong argument
lor trained motherhood and father
hood as well. In addition to this,
she devoted a good share of her pa- |
per to a discussion of the National
Congress ot' .Mothers, an organizatio
which is fast becoming one of the
most effective societies of the
United States. This congress, whos
purpose it is to study and improve
the conditions of children, was
formed about seventeen years ago.
At first consisting of a few earnest
workers for child welfare, it has
otoadily grown to a membership of
J 30,0»0. On .May 15, 1900, the
first certificate of incorporation was
issuer!.
Out of its seventeen years' ex
perience of carrying on child wel
fare work, the congre.-s has gain- j
ed such a knowledge of the needs
of parents and children, and such
a mass of information as to the
kinds of help, and has accomplished
such efficient work along these
lines, that national organizations
are everywhere recognizing the
congress as final authority on these
matters.
Miss Evangeline Cook most
pleasantly entertained the associa
tion with a vocal solo, "Mother
Machree."
The program ended with another
enjoyable chapter of "Miss Minerva
and Win. Green Hill," read by Mrs.
kousscau.
