At this time when the modern Hercules "
and the modern Samson" and more "iron
men " than one can count are before the public,
1t is both interesting and novel TO find a modest,
beardless boy Of 1s years performing feats Of
strength that make many Of the alleged wonders
wonder what will appear next in the line Of
prodlgies. Men who speak from authority say
that Il Is only a question Of time and proper care
when young Emil Jsrrow will give performances
that will actually cause the now-found Samson
to appear as helpless rs the real samson when
he was shorn Of his hair by Delllah. This boy
has lntely been giving performances In barrooms
and before clubs In the upper end of the town.
He has had neither manager nor press agent,
but he has attracted the attention Of a dozen
or more prominent athletes, who agree that he
is not only the strongest boy of his years ever
seen In this country, but is entitled to be ranked
among the strongest Of strong men. What he
will do when his strength ia fully developed, in
from four to ten years, is a matter Of prophecy.

ON THE RACK.

This falling of 10 ascribed by Chief Clerk
Boess Of the Superior Court, who keeps complete
and careful records Of naturalizations. to the
Increased stringenoy of the examinations to
which the applicants are subjected. Already
nearly twelve hundred applicants have been
turned away this year.. and In proportion as the
number accepted diminishes the average Of in
telligence increases. As q rule the applicants
this year are moro intelligent and better edu-
Gated than those Of 1891. There are few Of the
would-bc citizens who cannot write their names
sasily. and this 10 particularly true of the Eng
tsh-speaking people. Twenty years ago the
applicant for naturalization who could do
moro with . pen than make his mark was
IN exception. Considered by nationalities
the German-speaking peoples. including those
from Austria and Germany. lead by . consider
able plurality. The Irish have shown q marked
increase, and they are among the most intelli-
gent Of tho candidates for citizenship. The
~Italians, mostly day laborers, among whom tho
average Of Intelligence Ia low, have fallen off in
numbers. During the whole month fewer than
$50 Italians have been naturalized in the Su-
perior Court Russia sends many moro than
this. and SO do the Scandinavian countries.

come with Tammany naturalization tickets,
md . third Of that number have presented Re-
publican tickets. In all cases this year the pro-
cess of naturalization has been slower than for
merly. The increased attention paid to exam
lining the applicants Is partly responsible for
this. II often happens that q stupid candidate

prompting of his witnesses In getting along all
right with the examining clerk only to fall q
victim to the Judges sharp queries. Many an
unit applicant has been turned away by tho
care OF the Judge when he thought that he was
all right. Another cause of delay is the deter
minaiion of Judge Gildersleeve OF the Superior
Court not to hold court after ! p. NJ. As court
does not open until 10 in the morning, this gives
q comparatively short time considering the
number OF those wishing TO become citizens.

HEATY LOSSES BY FIRE.

Dnly Eight Million Dollars or so in June.
 The Hartford Courant sums up the situation as to fire losses in June as fol- lows: Eight million dollars.-Thats the extent of the money loss inflicted upon this country and Canada hv last months fires The Approximately ex- act total, as figured out by the statis- tician of the New York Journa; of Con- merce,' is sS,2S2,300 It's the smallest in recent years. The June fires of 1893 cost the two countries SIG, ,344, ,950.
 The biggest and most expensive of this years June fires was the stock yards fire in Jersey City; loss, $500, ,OOO. Below it on the list come the $525,000 storage warehouse fire in Brooklyn, the b45000O lumber yard fire in Dubuque, the $363, ,00O paper warehouse fire in New York, the $310,000 implement warehouse lire in Kansas City, the $225, ,000 business block fire in St. John, N. B., and the s200,0OO lumber yard fire in Chaudiere, Ont. One hundred and forty-two of the months fires did damage in excess of k1O,0O0 apiece, and thirty-six of them in excess of $50000 apiece.
 If the statistician's figures are correct -and we have every confidence in them -the total value of the property burn ed up in United States and Canada dur Ing the first six months of the current year was s61 ,613,200 The total for the corresponding months of 1893 was $S5,- 82,60-more than twenty-four millions larger. Comparing this year with last the insurance men should find it easy to cultivate a grateful sense of their mercies.
