Mayor Carter Harrison's remark that
he would not be surprised to hear of
hangings in the streets of Chicago if
the deal with the street railway syndi-

through, has created much excitement
in the Windy City. Threats of lynch
ing are made, but it is doubtful if
even this situation will phase the bull

the other day, and promptly reduced the

HEIGHT OF SOLDIERS,
Average Stature of Most COuntrie.
Declines az Armies Increase.

Decl1nes AZ Armies Increase.
AS the size of modern armies is increased
the average height OF fighting men is d.
minished. The Tageblatt of Berlin as
cribes the reduction In the average stature
of soldiers In modern armies to conscrip-
ton and says that in the German army it
is now only 60.63 inches. In the British
army the height is 64.96 inches showing
the tallness of the average Englishman and
Scotchman. Frenchmen and Spaniards are
taken at 1.54 meters, Italians at 155 meters
(61 inches, and the same minimum meas
urement is the rule in Austria The Rus
sian minimum is I54 meters, and in the
United States it is 1918 meters (6S rs
inches).
In 1869. before the beginning of the
American civil war and before the general
arming OF Europe, the average height of
men serving in the various European ar
mics was as follows, given in inches:
Italian, Is; Spanish, 65.5; French, 66; Hun
garian. 66.1; Austrian, 665; Belgian, $50;
Russian, 81; English, els; Irish, is; Scotch
6S.5; Norwegian, 90.
Although the average height of soldiers
has decreased during the last few years
considerably in those countries in which
CONSUMPTION is the rule, it is found gem
orally that in countries in which peaceful
conditions prevail and no great standing
army is maintained the stature of new SOL
diers is gradually increasing. This is
shown conspicuously in the case of Sweden,
where the average height of new soldiers
between 1S40 and 1850 was &c inches. 662
between 1850 and 1850, CSC between 1860
and 1870. 66.S between 1870 and 1880 and -
between 1850 and 1890
The proportion of rejected soldiers in
France has decreased from 81 per cent in
the decade beginning 1910, IS per cent in
the decade beginning 1860 and 80 per cent
in the decade beginning in 1850 to 30 per
cent at present. The number of conscripts
now rejected on account of height is less
every year, in consequence, perhaps, OF the
fact that the minimum height limit of the
French army has been steadily decreased.
American soldiers have preserved during
many years the same height substantially.
though the fact is well known that soldiers
from the western and southern states are,
as a rule. taller than those from the east
and from the southern Atlantic states.
