Interesting Experiments on New Fl sven
School Children.

DR. j. A. Gilbert of the Yale physiologi-
cal laboratory has just completed some In
teresting tests regarding the mental and
physical Improvements of the pupils of the
New Haven public schools. The tests
were made on 1 200 boys aad girls, varying
from to II years of age. He has made a
series of charts which show that boys are
more sensitive to weight discrimination,
that girls can tell the difference in color
shades better than boys, and that boys
think quicker than the other sex. Alto
gether, the charts show that boys are more
susceptible to suggestion than girls. The
charts show also that both boys and girls
between the ages of ~ and II years are
not so bright. quick or strong in proper
ton. nor do they develop as fast, as they
do before and after these years. The OBJ
ject of the tests is to enable teachers to

John P. Kellogg reported on the COM
plant of Joseph Corr against Officer Allen.
1t was voted to allow Mr. Corr to withdraw
his charge. 1t was voted to instruct the
chief to purchase new helmets for the
policemen. It was voted to refer the mat
ter of employing a police matron to the
court of common council, with the recon-
mendation that the appointment be made.
Commissioner Cross brought up the mat
ter of offering a reward for the capture of
the Novelties, and said that the board
should use every means at its disposal to
bring those men to trial. AS suggested in
the DEMOCRAT last night the board voted
to recommend that the mayor and board of
aldermen offer a suitable reward for the
arrest and conviction of the murderers.
The police commissioners. though some
what tardy in taking action in this matter,
have now done their full duty, and it is to
be hoped that the aldermen will act in
like manner and see what figure the offer
ing of reward will cut in throwing some
light on the whel eabouts of the murderers.

Pigott scores a Point

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-Repre-
sentative Plgott is greatly pleased at the
report that Secretary Carlisle intends to
indorse his proposal for setting fixed
time for the continuance of the income
tax. Mr. Pigott was the first member of
the house who. on the floor, suggested
that such a modification be made to the
income tax, although he is one of its
staunchest supporters. At the time he
made the suggestion he stated that the in
come tax was an equitable one and that he
had been taught by Professor Sumner at
Yale college that it was practical and
sensible tax

Mayor Kilduff said this afternoon that
he was prepared to do all in his power to
render all possible aid in the capture of
the murderers of Frank Martucci but
thought that the city ordinance might turn
out to be as useless as the one
that gave the board the right
to prevent Mr. Miller from repairing his
| building. One cannot count much on the
city ordinances. for many of them do not
mean much and are very misleading, con-
| fiicting with the city charter. 1t IS diff
cult to know what to do and comply with
the provisions of both.

. RIOT IN CLEVELAND.


A Procession OF Ti:enp Dyed Took Full T: s.
session OF the Streets.
CLEVELAND. May 2.-Tae unemployed IF
Cleveland celebrated May day with q
meeting, procession that was marked ~
several riotous demonstrations and hy
listening to and applauding a rank an
arch-tic address Oh the public sqrace
when they had finished their marchi:x 4.
The day was full of excitement. The pro-
cessicn was composed of between E, 900 and
10000 men and boys, mostly foreigners.
They followed a United States flag and
started in military order.
They had not gone a mile, however, be-
fore the procession colllded with an cleo
trio car. The motorman refused to stop
when commanded to do so, md the car
was wrecked. A few minutes later au-
other car was met A policeman on the
front platform commanded the mob 10
give way. When they refused to do SO, he
fired his revolver into the air. Many of
the marchers drew pistols and began fir
ing, at least 100 shots being discharged,
but nobody was hurt Some of the bullets
went through the win,.ow of a store, how
ever, and two of the clerks had narrow es-
capes.
The procession was broken up Temporal
rily, but the lines were reformed. Soon q
refused to stop he was felled with brick,
though not seriously hurt. The line of
march was across the south and west sides
and back to the square. AS the procession
moved up Superior street on the return it
filled that thoroughfare from building to
building. Street cars were stopped, and
all the traffic was suspended for time.
The driver of a car who refused to take
his team out of the way received bad
wound in the side of the face from an iron
bolt thrown by one of the marchers. Dur
ing all these disturbances not single ar
rest was made, the police evidently not de-
string to court trouble with mob in such
an ugly temper.
When the procession had returned to the
square, several speeches were made by
Central Labor union leaders, who advised
the men to go home, but an anarchist
finally got hold of the crowd and made
speech which started another procession.
f. 1t headed out through the manufactur-
ing district in the eastern part of the city,
and it was feared that more violence would
be committed, but nothing more serious
than the breaking of a few windows in
factory occurred.

velocity of the Earth,s Rotation.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on It's
axis once every "a hours. But few,
however, have any idea of the high rate
of speed necessary to accomplish that
feat. The highest velocity ever attained
by a cannon ball has been estimated at
1895 feet per second, which is equal
TO a mile in 3.2 seconds. The earth,
in making one revolution in "a hours:
must turn with velocity nearly equal
to that of cannon ball. In short, the
rate of speed at the equator has been
estimated at nearly 1900 feet per sec
ond. or a M every SO seconds.
Therefore it has Eeen calculated that II
q cannon ball were fired due west and
could maintain its initial velocity IN
dependent of the earth, and could KEEP
up the speed with which 1T left the
| mouth of the gun, it would beat the
sun in his apparent journey around the
earth.-St. Louis Republic.
