At noon on February 1th, at the Tinton Iron Works, at San Francisco, after the notes of a bugle had rang out on deck, the battleship Wisconsin formally went into commis sion in the United States Navy. The ceremony was devoid of other pic turesque features. An ordinary look ing typewritten receipt, such as would apparently be used in an everyday commercial transaction involving a few dollars, was signed by Captain George H. Reiter, commander of the Wisconsin and representative on this occasion of the Secretary of the Na and formally handed over to H. Scott, president of the Union Iron Works. Then the bugle sounded again, the Sag wan unfurled, and the hand som battleship became a part of the Navy, ready, to all intents and purpos es, for any service. For the present the Wisconsin is expected to remain here. The complement of men has not yet been obtained, and there are other minor requirements to be attended to before the Feanel will be ready to leave port. Captain Reiter, the commander, was formerly in the cruiser Philadel phia, and is a well-known and popular from Annapolis officer. He graduated in 1863 The other officers of the Wisconsin are: Lieutenant George W. McElroy; chief engineer; Lieutenant Commander, John BR. Milton; Lieuten ant Commander, H. T. Mayo; watch officers. 1Leutenante Wie Williams, ee ee Blakeley; marine eS ee ee Cutts; naval cadets, Gilmer, Winston and Church The first cruise of the battleship will probably be o a south ern port. ‘The Sugar Elevators. The sugar elevators, now in process of construction at the Railroad wharf, will be ready for use sometime next week. When they are placed in oper ation, the work of handling the class of freight at this port will be much facilitated. No sugar will be loaded by hand and the method of “slinging ” sacks will be home entirely away with, at least so..or as the railroad wharf is concerned. ‘The method need is an extremely simple one, and is in vogue In many places for loading everything into weavers. Even coal is loaded In some seaports by means of this syste. Running the width of the warehouse and a lot ten feet above the floor are four endless carriers. At right angles to each of these, set three shorter car riers, emtending from the floor up to the endless conveyer. A sack is taker red into a small tower and from here is sent into the ship's hold by means of chutes. There are two of these chutes to each tower. When one part of the ship has been assigned enough sugar to keep the men in the hold boay for several minutes the direction of the freight is changed and another gang of men is set to work. ‘ue ma: live power is electricity. How fast this method will work may be realized when it is known that vee sele such as the american Hawaian One run, can easily be filled in twelve hours’ time, instead of a week or ten days as is now the case. An Automatic Life Boat. On the Great Lakes, according to the New York Press, has appeared a new style of lifeboat. Invented by Cap tain Mayo of Mr lifesaving service He has tested it himself and believes it to be a success. The newly devised beast is a cone, rounded at both ends. It is intended to be thirty feet long and seven feet In diameter, It is perfecty round, there being projecting tuna, or bilge keels, to keep it from rolling The shell is built of three-inch oak, covered with aluminum, or sheet steel, as the build er desires, and is shaped on strong oak ribs on the inside. The forward and after end of the boat are all cham bers, built in such a way that crush ing or puncturing are practically im possible. Around the shell are open ings filled with heavy plate glass, set in rubber and steel gaskets. On two sides are manholes set in the same kind of gaskets, and on each side two portholes large enough to push an oar through. The ports are closed with heavy doors of steel and every opening is closed and locked from the inside. The only unprotected openings are at the ends of the cone. The forward one is a manhole large enough for a man to move about in easily, and at the other end is an open ing designed for the lowering of an anchor. Inside there are accommoda tions for fifty people and lockers large enough to stow ohe food necessary for their sustenance for thirty days, also water tanks with a supply of drinking water sufficient to last for that time. The seats are so arranged that they revolve completely around, no matter how often the boat turns over, and the passenger is always kept upright. The Interior is fitted with two aluminum bulkheads, which swing about with the motion of the seats inside the boat, always keeping the ventilators a safe distance above the water. To avoid a danger of filling, the ends of the are fitted with water vents, and as the whole boat, loaded, draws less than four inches there is enough of it always exposed to the influence of the wind to allow of its being driven ashore. A device for locking the swing ing seats in position keeps them se cure and allows rowing when rowing is practicable. Shaft Sounded Rotten. “I see that the big liner St. Paul lost one of her propellers through the shaft snapping off during the last trip serosa.” said a former sea captain now in business here. “I remember, before I qui. the sea.” continued the ex-captain, “. was once first officer of a fine cargo tramp from Liverpool. Our chief engineer was an old Welshman named Dawes. He was a rough old fellow, with mighty little of what you might call book education, but if ever there was a natural born genius he was the man. Engineering seemed to be a kind of instinct with him, and when there, was any trouble with the machinery he can... put his finger on the exact spot. Where another a might be puttering around for a “At the time I have in mind we had cleared from our home port with a mixed cargo for Rio, and on the sec ond day out old Dawes all of a sudden stopped the engines. It was my watch and I went below to find out what was up. Where's something wrong with that propeller shaft? said he, and he took a lantern and started to sc over it inch by inch. Inside of an hour he found two holes that had een bored first about midway down, where the strain was greatest, and nicely filled up with soap and plumenage. It was evidently the work of an assistant en gineer, who had a row and quit at Liverpool. Any big shock would have been certain to break the shaft in two, but, as Providence had wilted it, we had smooth weather up to that time. Dawes riveted a steel collar around the weak spot and we made Rio with out accident under about three-fourths speed. “I often asked him afterward how Memorandum of Ventura. Purser BE. H.
