The Heroes OF n Month,

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes
for the October Century an article
entitled The Roll of Honor of the
New York Police" Mr.. Roosevelt
says:
Perhaps the best way to convey
an idea of why we awarded medals
is to give list of the men thus ro
warded for two months. In October,
1895, we on the LIST of the month
awarded n medal to patrolman for
peculiar gallantry in stopping run
away horse under circumstances
which made the act one of great
danger to himself and which doubt
less resulted in saving the lives of
those in the vehicle. The patrolman
thus rewarded was also later made
n roundsman and put in charge of
the bicycle squad, our attention
having been first called to him by
this act. On the same day we gave
honorable mention, but without a
certificate or medal, to three other
officers. One had also stopped run
away horse, another had rescued a
man from drowning and the third
had arrested an insane man armed
with IL revolver under circumstances
which went to show that the officer s
GOODNESS and presence of mind saved
both himself and the onlookers from
death or injury at the hands of the
armed maniac.
On the Sth of the month we gave q
medal 10 an officer who had rescued
boy from drowning by plunging
into the water between the wharf
and the steamer from which the boy
fell at the imminent risk OF being
crushed TO death between the two, q
fate from which he and the rescued
boy were saved purely by his pluck
and his skill as Il swimmer. Honor
able mention was made of two Other
officers one for rcScuinga boy from
drowning and ono for stopping q
runaway horse. On the 18th vet an
other officer received honorable
mention for saving a man from
drowning, and on tho 22d a sergeant
and two patrolmen were commend
ed for the GOODNESS and skill they dis
played i'll stopping prizetight ant
arresting both the participants and
the spectators, though they were ar
uncommonly tough crowd and
showed immediate fight.

Height Of the Atmosphere.

The height of the atmosphere
above the earth is not definitely
known, but il may be approximate
~ estimated i'll several ways. Judged
10y haromctriC pressure, it ought TO
end al hcght of about IS miles,
for at that height the column of mer-
curry inf the barometer would tend to
di~Up, ear. MrtcorS have been seen,
however, ut IL height of 100 miles,
and rs their combustion results from
friction generated by their passing
through resisting medium there
must hr air ut that elevation, though
very rare. Observation of the dura-
ton of twilight, which is due to the
reflection of the suns light from
PARTICLES of dust and air, shows that
the limit is about 80 miles, and il is
iuir To assume therefore that the at
mosphcre, in its coherent form, as
we know q, ends at that height. -
