the most negligent Of persons in regard to

negligence is an eccentricity, and Is not
due to penuriousness. for he is generous

Can Your Boy SNiRf


Can your boy swimf NOT Then do not
trust him in any sort of boat until he has
learned the art. and feels q much ct home
in the water q upon dry land. You
might Just as well send him out alone
into q crowded street before he had learned
to walk. He might possibly creep along
oil right, and reach homo alive. or some
body might pick him up and carr for him.
but the chances would not be in his favor.
So in Boating, tho boy who cannot swim
may get along very comfortably for .
while, and not suffer from this defect In
his education. but the time will assuredly
come when he will have cause to bitterly
regret it. It is one Of tho simplest things
in tho world, too, and can be learned In
three or four inteiligently directed lessons.
such as can be had In any city swimming
SCHOOL or from the experts in any country

one of the conditions Of his having . boat
that he shall first be able to swim . quar-

Tho Newsboys Of Mexico.

Our contemporaries are making many
suggestions as to the material Of which
the clothes Of the newsboys should be
made. Some think leather suits would
be advisable in view of the short time the
striped suits presented by the city gov
eminent lasted, while others urge tin as
the best material. This discussion en-
ables newspaper men to air their wit, but
it really seems unnecessary. The city
government presented G given number Of
newsboys with uniforms, with the under
standing that the boys would replace
them at their own expense when worn
out. Those suits have long since served
their time and been discarded, and not .
single one has been replaced by its owner.
Unless the city government intends to
elothe outright the urchins who sell
papers in the streets, our contemporaries
ere wasting their time in discussing the
kind Of material that should be used for
their uniforms, for there Is no legal way
Of compelling the boys to buy the clothes

Since fresh meat IL now transported by
thousands Of tons from North and South
America and Australia 70 England and
France, It Is interesting TO examine tho
ingenious processes adopted on the ocean
steamers engagedin this business to keep
tho meat ut . low temperature during the
voyage. Tho means BY which this low
temperature Is maintained now consists,
according to . French authority, Of ma
chimes for blowing cold air into the meat
storerooms in the hold Of tho vessel, tho
air being cooled simply by expansion.
As every one knows, the old fashioned
freezing machines employed the expan-
sion Of condensed ammonia gas as q re-
ftigerating agent, conveying the cold
current to the place where It was to b
used by means Of glycerine, u some
other liquid not subject to freezing at
ordinary temperatures. By the new
method, the air L. cooled by its own ex-
pa1sion, and then forced directly into tho
rooms The air Is first drawn into . con
denstng cylinder. where It Is compressed
under . pressure Of about fifty pounds to
the square inch. This greatly reduces its
volume and raises its Temperature to
nearly 800 dogs. F.
The next step to carry OF the surplus
heat. which Is done by mesns Of . current
Of . water. circulating around the con.
denser, OF rather around . series Of tubes.
into which the cir passes from the con-
denser. To cool it still more, and cause
the deposits Of the wstery vapor con-
tanned In it, the air next passes Into an
other series Of tubes, which are exposed
to the current Of cold cir returning from
tho meat storeroom, and n then drawn
into the expansion cylinder. On being
allowed 70 expand here. tho temperature
Of the cir falls Immediately to about 20
degs. below zero. f., and the last traces
Of moisture are Deposited - o
Wooden tubes then convey the chilled air
TO the storerooms. which Il reaches ct .
temperature Of about 'seto. f., and otter
circulating about the rooms Is drswn beck

ing machine.

Danbury Democrat: Of late Connecti cut has been comparatively free iron burglaries on a large scale. The recon
 burglaries here have been small, but no
 because the motive was lacking on tho part of the cracksman. No big "hauls' have been made since the Fairchild burg lary in Bridgeport over a year ago. Bu our stores are in constant danger, especial. ly in the small cities and large towns
 where the police protection is insufficient. These places offer an inviting field not only because of inadequate patrol service, but on account of the chances of escaping detection afforded by the local constabu. lary to deal with such cases. In the first place they cannot attend to such work without abridging their services in their regular line of duty, and in the second place they are not educated or trained in that branch of police work. Only one city in this state has professionals detectives, and it has never been recorded that they have done any very great service in run ming down professionals without calling in outside assistance. Most of our cities and towns rely wholly upon keen member of the local police to do this class of work. We hear of their successful cases, but about their failures to ferret out the thieves the public is seldom informed What we need is competent and skilful men who shall cooperate with the police but be in the service of the state, the expense to be paid either ont of the state treasury or by 8 tax upon the counties. With chief, whose headquarters should be at Hart ford, and two or three assistants, many cracksmen and murderers who are never captured might be made to feel the force of the law.

THE tramps who were recently arrested near Springfield and locked up there over Saturday and Sunday were all given their liberty on last week Friday on the ground that the evi- dence against them was immaterial. They were charged with interfering with the run ming of the freight train and their acquittal was big surprise to them. One who had plead guilty withdrew his plea and went free with the rest. If the laws of Massachusetts, have no penalty for such breaches of the peace as were committed by these vagabondE they need amending. But it looks more as ii the fault was not wholly in the existing laws and as if the most intelligent actor in the whole scene was the pistol which went of accidentally and killed the burglarious ring leader of the horde of outlaws.
