The course of study occupies three years,
and the hours Of work are equally divided
between study and manual labor. Tuition
the first year costs $50, the second year $50
and the third 500. To enter a boy must not
be under IA years Of age, and he must be
moderately well up in the ordinary English
branches. Besides the manual instruction
the boy is taught in mathematics, drawing,
common branches, and French and Latin.
BE has three of these lessons a day, studying
them at home. Then he comes to the school
and practices mechanical drawing an hour
every day. After that he has two hours
shop work.
The advantages Of this course of instruc-
tion are very many. The pupils learn first
of all to mix brains with their work. When
they go into trades afterwards, the difference
between the ordinary, stupid, dirty mo
chanic's prentice and one of these intelligent,
handy, clean, gentlemanly lads is as that
between night and day.
Til boys are not allowed to choose their
own trades, but each must take the course.

ond forging, the third and last takes in tbs

THE CUNNING MATCH.

This shows the running test. The fat fell
low in the advance looks tolerably well
blown.
The officers are paid well, comparatively.
They get $1,000 the first year, S1,100 the
second, the third and thereafter, 81 200. Those
who are disabled in performance of duty, or
who grow old on the force, after ten years
service, get d pension OF $500 a year. If ono
dies or is killed in service the same sum is
allowed to his widow as long as she remains
unmarried. This is plainly discouraging
m%atrinnony and putting q premium on wild
owed blessedness. The dead mans minor
children also get a pension. This is as it
should be. A man who spends his best
years protecting other mems families for not
large pay should nave his own taken care Of
after he is dead.
The New York policemen are made up to a
great extent of large, rosy, good-looking
Irishmen. Though the civil service regula-
tons are 50 strict about getting on the force,
it is whispered nevertheless that the hoy who
has sspulln or ''aooencen still stands a fair
chance. For instance, il the boy with the
pulp is half al inch shorter than the regula-
tions require, he may be examined over
again, ard by some mysterious influence the
spulln ]engtllens him out.

.f4I4 Al The FORGE.
Illustration No. 9 tells how the young fell
lows play at blacksmithing. The school &C.
cupies a large and substastial three-story
building. The first floor is given up to metal
work, blacksmith and machine shops. There
are twenty-five FORCES and a%nvils, and tools
for smiths and helpers. 1t is o steam black
smith shop, the blast being run by a great
power blower. But in order to familiarize
pupils with the vanishing order of things
there is also kept in connection with one Of
the FORCES an old-fashioned hand bellows as
well.
The iron-working implements in the MAJ
chine shop are very interesting. Children go
ing into a machine shop are confused by the
noisesnd dazzled by the CLEAN of flying metal
wheels and points, But the sight is very fas-
cineting to them withal. 1t is also SO to the
boys who learn iron working in the ST Louis
school Here are the moving chisels, lathes
for saving and planning iron, drills, shapers
~grindstones, etc. Perhaps the reader has seen
the sparks fly when iron is ground upon an
emery wheel. The machine shop at the uni
versity has a double emery grinder, so that
the grinding iron makes great circles Of
sparks. The machinery of the whole building
is run by a fine Corliss engine, with q four-
seen inch cylinder and a forty-two inch stroke.

But if the New York officers are appointed
and drilled strictly according to the rules Of
the New York civil service law, it will not be
more than O year or two till they rival in
appearance and usefulness even a London
Fleet street constable.
First, the applicant for a place on the force
must be of q certain height and weight. He
must be at least 5 feet s inches high. 1t is
said, too, that the examiners test his weight
by seeing that he weighs not less than two
pounds for every inch in height. At any
rate, that is a very good test of proportion.
He must be of good moral character, and not
over IS years old. 10 try their muscle they
must wag dumb bells, raise themselves by a
horizontal bar till their chins touch the bar,
and finally must run a race of q quarter of q
mile. "a policeman said a New York
editor, fought at least to be able to run
away from q thief"
The running test is the severesG of all. None
but trained athletes can run a quarter of q
mile without being blown. Their literary
qualifications are limited to reading and
writing English. A policeman is not ex-
pected to know how far it is to the planet
Saturn, or the exact degree Of the cyclonic
intensity with which a mules heel hits a barn
door. His muscle, morals, and his knowledge
of streets, lines of horse cars, public buildings,
railway stations, ferries, etc, are the chief
points taken into account.
Once in, the new policeman must practice
and train to bring up his physical man. This
is an excellent requirement. The patrolmen
have a gymnasiumof their own, where, under
the eye of masters and inspectors, they go
about the requirement of muscle. Candi-
dates must tagT themselves here, ttoo. Boxing,
wrestling and running are among the prin-
cipal of the athletic exercises. The first
illustration shows in a graphic manner two
of the would-be ''copsn boxing in competition,
under the critical eye Of an inspector, who
stands off and sights them.

In the wrestling match a chalk circle is
drawn around the two at o certain distance.
They grip, and endeavor to push each other
outside of the chalk line. The one who can
do SO is the victor. Tt is thus a brave patrol
man is supposed to grab and down a thief.
Police gymnasium secrets will leak out, in
spite of fate. Laughable incidents happen
among the boxers and wrestlers, especially
the latter. They are, of course, usually
strangers to one another. A pair of them
will struggle and tug to throw each other
out, till occasionally the fun gets to be des-
perately earnest. 9he men become angry, and
things begin to look like q prize fight. Then
the inspector forces them apart, like two
snarling dogs. They scowl blackly and
shake their fists, and each VOWS to pay OFF the
other felloM when he gets him outside,

Exploding Lamps Set Fire to Dwelling
Houses Near Shelbyville, Ind, and Near
Mount Pleasant, Pa.-Two Children in
the Former and Three in the Latter
Burned to Death.
SHELBYvILIE Ind, May 25.-Two infant
children OF James Dawson, who lives six
teen miles north of this city, were burned
to death in their bed Sunday morning. 1t
is thought that the explosion of lamp
set the house on fire. The whole family

neighbor who, seeing the fire, awoke the
inmates of the burning house.
MOUNT PLEASANT. Pa, May 25.-Intelli-
gence has lust been received here of a
heartrending accident which happened
Sunday morning to three children of
Michael Feehan, miner who resides at
Mayors works, south of this place. The
Youngest child was taken to church early
in the morning, where it was to be
christened During the parents absence
the three other children, who had been lett
at home, got hold of the oil can and
poured it's contents into the CRATE. The
fire communicated to the contents of the
can, which exploded and enveloped the
children in flames, burning their clothes
from their bodies and literally roasted two
of them alive. The third was also so ter
ribly burned that it is thought it will die.
When assistance arrived it was too late to
save the children.

The Surprising Discovery That Is said TO
Have Been Made by DIR. c. A. Bell-In-
ventions Surprising the Telephone in
Importance Promised in the Near Ea-
ture.
WASHINGTON, May 25--The Post pub
fishes story the substance of which is
that Prof Alexander Graham Bell and his
associates, DR.. Chichester A. Bell and Sum-
ner Taintor, have recently made dis
covery and in relation to it have
worked out number OF inven-
tions which they believe to be
not inferior in Importance to the discovery
OF the art of telephony itself and the in
ventions, to which that discovery has led.
DIR. Chichester A. Bell has discovered that
falling jet of water or a flame OF gas
burning in room mimics, echoes and
perfectly reproduces every word spoken
and every sound uttered in the room.
DR.. Bell has found that when a
couple of friends join in a. conversation ia
the drawing-room of an evening that the
gas that burns above their heads repeats
every word they say. Out of this main
discovery which up to the present time
has been kept quiet and carefully guarded,
the three associated scientists have made
quite a number of inventions whereby
the discovery may be put to prac-
tice, and the discoveries themselves, as
we'll as the world ut large, reap the bene-
fit. Prof. Bell regards the discovery of the
voice in the water as of more Importance,
far reaching in consequence and prospect
i've practical value than his own invention
of the telephone

covered that falling jet of water or a
fame of gas burning in a room mimics,
echoes and perfectly reproduces every
word spoken and every sound uttered in
the room. DIR. Bell said that when a couple
of friends joined in conversation in a
room of an evening that the gas which
burned above their heads repeated every
word they said 1t was his intention to
put the discovery to practical use.
