STOLEN SUND2IES.

1t Is wonderful to relate that an entire
week has passed without the loss of
single wheel being reported to the police
department. The detective in charge of
bicycle work cannot understand it, but he
is glad, all the same, as he has plenty of
work on his hands. 1t is the first week
for some time that such record can be
pointed to. Whether the thieves are keep
ing quiet for a grand haul. or whether
they are afraid of being arrested and sent
to Jail for the crime, is hard to surmise
Only three thefts were reported during
the week. and they are as follows:
8. H. Riggles 1922 Vermont avenue, re-
ported that his Bath lamp was stolen from
his bicycle while in front of 311 East Capt.
tOl street.
Felix T. Moore. 939 H street northwest,
reports the theft of a North Star lamp,
taken from his wheel while in front of 3i1
East Capitol street.
John N. Oliver complains that a kit of
tools was purloined from his wheel while
standing in front of the Arlington drug
store, at Vermont avenue and H street.

SOME WORLDS RECORDS

In response to an inquiry for world rec
ords for one mile and for an hour. extend
ing back for five or six years, the following
tables are printed, giving the desired in
formation. 1t will be seen that there are
thirty-seven broken records for the mile
within the space of seven years. while for
the hour record exactly the same number is
given, but the date extends back over twen-
ty years. This only serves to show that it
must be easier to break the mile record
than it is the hour record. The inquiry for
the records seems to be made under the be-
lief that Jimmie Michael, the Welsh WON
der, who is the champion middle distance
rider of this country, holds the worlds rec
ord for both the mile and the hour This is
mistake. In the hour records Michaels
name is conspicuous by it's absence despite
the fact that he has done some excellent
riding in this country He does, however,
hold the hour record for this country.
though not for the world.
In connection with the tables there is an
interesting study showing the gradual
diminution of time in the mile record, from
10 SO in 1880 to SO in 1897 a reduction of
0.44 80 seconds for the seven years work
This may be a small limit, but yet from a
racing point of view it is quite large. And
there are plenty of people who firmly be-
lieve that the limit will be brought down to
one minute for the mile. Seven years ago
1t was the object of all riders to cover a
mile under the two minute mark. Now ii
is the desire to make 1t in one minute
Taking the past as an indication and at
the same proportion, it will be fully five
or six years before the minute mark will
De attained. decrease Of forty-four sec
cndS III seven years is equivalent to an an
nual average decrease of over six seconds
yet during the seven years the record has
been broken thirty-seven times, or over an
average Of five times a. year. This clearly
SHOWS that the margin of breaking was ex-
tremely slight. and only attained by de-
grees. The table IS as follows:

Personnel of Our Embassy.
The personnel Of the present American
embassy in London particularly qualities it
for efficiency in this field. Mr.. Henry
White. the secretary, is one of the most
accomplished diplomats in the service of
the United States. He might have been
minister to Spain in this administration
the mission of foremost Importance, but he
preferred TO return to the post which he
had held since 1888 with a hiatus during
Mr.. Bayard's term. The first diplomatic
commission held by Mr.. White was secre-
tary of legation In Vienna from 1881 to fSS3
but his name Is identified with the London
Office, and few members of the diplomatic
corps have a more intimate acquaintance
with the ins and outs of English affairs
with the men who control the British en-
pire. and better understand how to deal
with them. Some of the most delicate ne
gotiations between the United States and
England in recent years have been In Mr.
Evening star., 1898-02-12

Whites hands during his occasional terms
as charge d'affaires, and have been handled
with complete success.
MIR. John Ridgely Carter, the second sec
retary of the embassy, is one of those
Americans, too few in number, who have
chosen diplomacy as a profession and have
fitted themselves for its pursuit as a man
would study to become a soldier, lawyer
or a civil engineer. Mr.. Carter is well
known in Washington, where he has lived,
and is native of Baltimore-a son of Mr..
Bernard Carer. He studied international
law at Harvard, in Germany, Paris and
Washington, has Travelled much and Is on
speaking terms with the languages which
diplomat is likely to encounter He came
to London as secretary to Mr.. Bayard,
was afterwards promoted to the second Sec
retaryship and has been retained in Colonel
Hays regime because of his conspicuous
qualifications for the position.

and recently graduated from Harvard,
where he distinguished himself as an ath

ing three years in the boat. The steam-en-
Glne energy required for these diversions
he infuses into whatever he may undertake,
and he is another young man who regards
diplomacy as a profession demanding study,
ana looks forward to it as a career. Re
Gently he was offered the position of secre-
tary of legation with Mr.. Bryan of Chicago,
VINO has been appointed minister to Brazil,
but preferred to continue at his present
post.
Naval and Military Attaches.
The naval and military attaches are the
free lances of diplomacy, their duties fall
ing outside of the routine and being prin-
cipally to keep their eyes open to foreign
movements in the line of their professions.
The new military attache, Colonel Bates,
is expected to be a congenial addition to
the embassy circle. The naval attache has
been Il particularly important official dur
ing the recent rumors- of wars. One who
inquiries too curiously into the nature of
the duties of naval attache will get his
thirst for information but slightly appeased.
In a general way he is supposed to know
everything which foreign navies may be do
