Rut lt'a old atuff now. The United States Naval academy at Annapolis, MIL, "Cradle of the Navy, doesn't xeera to be such an awful bad sort of I dace. And lt'a a fair guess that the 1,900 undergraduate midshipmen who s' are off In four battleships for a practice cruise In European waters will time-honor- three-month- not he in continuous need of pity. It was buck In the old days before the Civil war that the middles used to cruise around on Chesapeake lmy. It was In the early Fifties that the practice cruises were begun. The first cruising middles navigated Chesapeake buy on the John Ham-ocand finished up on the eloop.of war iTeble off the coast of Maine. During the Civil war the middies got their practice on Union ships searching for Confederate privateers. One of the liter practice shljia was the famous old sailing frigate Constellation, built In 1798, which took a summer cruise every year from 1871 to 1803. In the iieriud of American nat&l decadence after the Civil war the middles got their practice on almost sny old kind of hull that would float. At flint their lot was happy compared with that of the middles of the still older days. Originally i midshipman was a sort of messenger boy on a hip of war to run errands for the officers. The dd sea dugs of early days did not believe In educating tlipxe embryo admirals and gave them few advantage. In the American navy of a hundred years ago th middles were so nmch to be pitied that tliey ame to a scandal. Tliey were a penniless, a knocked-alioud and rugged lot. Here'a hit nsually happened when one of our warships touchi-" foreign port The middles took shnre with them everything portable and salable sextants, chronometers and the like determined o have a square meal at all costs.

It was In 1912 that the experiment of putting the middles of the two upper classes on battleships of the Atlantic fleet was first tried. The experiment proved a great success. These practice cruises are much alike. The first night Is usually pent at anchor, while the middles are getting settled In their quarters and being assigned to the various technical divisions. It's a picturesque night ; landlubbers struggling with hammocks would make a fetching circus stunt At dawn the bugle muses them from uneasy slumbers and the cries are heard: Rise and shine I Up, you lubbers I Lash and carry! Hit the deck, aallorl Hey I Show a leg old-tiin- e there I" Thereupon the lubbers certainly rise. They may or may not shine In a strange world of g and what not Howand lot ever, middles are now as ever a and Boon get down to business. Tliey are usually allotted the starboard side of the ship, with the regular enlisted force on the port side, and they are sent In rotation to every part of the ship. How the times have changed, now fhat steam has supplanted sail ! When Admiral Mahan his name la a household word In the navy began his days at sea a common drill for the middies, with the aid of a gunnera mate, was Up topgallant moats and yards and loose sail to a bowline To do It In three and a half mlnutea from the time the topraen and the masts started together from s seamanship.

I'retty soon, with ships using oil for fuel the middles will no longer have cause to dread the fire room ; Indeed, oil hns already almost superseded cout. The gentlemen aallora" will Kon be fixed so nicely that tliey will not even be forced to listen to the remark sarcastic, If the new secretary of the navy, Curtis D. Wilbur, has his wny. Secretary Wilbur Is an 1888 Annapolis man himself his theres a tablet In the gymnasium recording record high kick and someone must have talked real menn to him In his day.

He enlisted In ilie navy In 1UJ9. lie wsa sent to the Okluhomn as an apprentice seaman and went through the regular routine for enlisted men. In addition lie uttended the Oklahoma's Annapolis class,'' which was orgnnlxed aboard for the purpose of couching enlisted candidates, lie then went to Newport, IL I., and Joined the "N. A. 1, C." This Naval academy preparatory class contained i lie pick of the navy's enlisted men rent from all ships and st aliens to coiniiete for appointments. Kluully llublllurd was transferred to Annuiiolla, from the navy and sworn in as a irildahlpinnn. He was asMlgned to the graduated this year and has New York nuvy yard. A young fellow lias to be a good deal of a elmp to get into Annapolis. He must be between tlie agea of sixteen and twenty, unmarried. He must be of good moral cliurueter, physically round, well formed and of robust constitution. The preliminary physical and mentul examinations are rigid But they are easy compared with the constant testa of the course. From 40 to SO per cent la dropped before graduation bemuse of lnubllity to keep up with the game. Did you ever atop to think of the responsibilities of tlie commander of a United States warship In foreign waters even In times of peace? Well It la something tremendous. Aside from being responsible fer the safety of tlie ship and the small army aboard, he represents the United State he Is the United States to ull Intents and purposes. So he must be fighting man, navigator, discipline rlun, diplomat and patriot ull klnda of man, each one Juat about 100 per cent efllelent. So Uncle Sam cannot afford to wuste time at hla Naval academy on material that weakens under teat. Tlie course at the Naval academy specialises on requirements of the nuvul service. Instruction Includes the following: discipline, seamanship, ordnance and gunnery, navigation, steam and marine engineering anil nual construction, electrical' engineering, pliyaio, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, history, tactics, naval hygiene and physiology, modern languages, drawing and physical training. There uro .r0 instructors, practically all of them naval officers. Tlie midshipman binds himself for eight years, including tlie four In the academy. He muat furnish his own clothing and books sad receives $7,Mi n year from Uncle Sum. The Naval academy wiin founded In 1845 by George Bancroft, secret arj of (lie navy In Folk's administration. In those dujtt it whs called the "Nava! school" and the boys ucre "naval cadets." Along about 1N9K Uncle Sam complulned to con gross Jiut the bulldinas were old and inadequate. Congress told Uncle Sam to go uheud and tlx the place up right. Uncle Sum did to the extent of about $I2.(NKMX). And along about 19U8 Uncle Sum completed liy far the (ha st and navul school In the world. There are 200 acres on tlie Severn river at Annapolis. The buildings Include Bancroft hull, villi Memorial hall at Its renter, Dalilgren hall, the Armory, the Seamanalilp ami Gymnasium building. (!p Steam Engineering building and the Chnpcl, with a dome 210 feet high. In short, the United Stan s Naval academy is a first class Institution. This la emphasized by the fact that the present Hipci intcndcnt is no less a limn than Admiral Henry R. Wilson, lie Is himself a graduate of the uendciny elusa of 1881 and thus bus worked Ills way up through all the grades from nihlslilpniun to eoimnnndcr In chief of the Atlantic fleet. The graduating class this year numbered 525. They have been assigned by llm Nuvy department to alilpa anil to shore tuilns. Not all of the graduates will reiuuin In the service. About CO have availed themselves of the privilege of resigning, hi accordance with an orliave der of the Navy department.
