Und who is he all th' time?" "Sweeney," ventured Clancey. "Sveeney nothin'," said Heinz, scorn- fully, "he vos the panker's daughter's willin' sveetheart. You see, he vos playin' detectif." "But how.the divil cud a clerk steer a liner down the river?" demanded Clancey. "Did who say he vos_ steerin'?" asked Heinz. "Phwat steered the ship thin?" "How do I know?" asked Heinz, "you Irish are too tamn particler!"' The junior engineer turns to find his man ready to go aft and take his place at the fires. As they leave the fo'c'sle he takes a last look around. On the whole, he decides, they seem a good-natured, care-free crowd, liv- ing a hard. life. Tue "Stanp-By" MAN. MARINE SIGNALING LAMP. The accompanying drawings' illus- trate an improved type of signaling lamp for marine use, adapted for pro- La. ducing a flash light according to the Morse or other suitable code. The lamp, which is extremely simple in _. design and operation, is the invention TAE Marine Review of Henry Endall, of Southampton, England. Fig. 1 in the drawings is a general front elevation, and Fig. 2 a side view of a small detail thereof. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the lan- tern with the lens attachment omit- ted; Fig. 4, a central vertical sec- tion through the same, including the lens attachment; Fig. 5, a plan of Fig. 3 without the cover, the interior being shown partly above the level of the lamps and partly below the level; and Fig. 6 an elevation of the lens WAVER ERR ARRRER IRN 23 normally kept closed. Either cylinder may be rotatable, but in the accom- panying drawings the inner one ro- tates within the outer, the latter be- ing fixed to a convenient base. The inner cylinder is actuated by an elbow or other suitable lever operated from the outside, one arm of which enters a recess in the base of the rotatable cylinder and the other arm of which carries a depressing key, or is adapt- ed to be acted upon directly.

In the construction of the lamp the lights are inclosed by a pair of cylin- ders, one fitted within the other to form a double-walled cylinder, the in- ner one being so mounted as to be capable of a limited rotary movement and the other being stationary. The cylinders are both provided with slots; spaced preferably at equal dis- tances apart around the circumfer- ence in the fashion of a grid, so that the slots are open or shut according as the cylinders are relatively in one position or the other, but they are the drawings, this key may be a lever hinged near to the base of the stand- ard, connected to the lever by a rod of suitable length. The lamps, preferably electric, are carried upon a disc or plate situated at the bottom of the inner or movable cylinder, but is not integral therewith, being immovably fixed upon a station- ary hollow stem which is carried down through the mounting or stand- ard and firmly held in place by a screw nut, such stem forming an axle on which the inner cylinder can rotate. A ball bearing, or washer and collar, is under the base of this cylin-
