The Newest of the Elements Recently Dis

The multiplication of the elements

goes on apace.
In the chemical sense an element is a
substance which, unless you add some
other substance 10 it, will produce moth
ing but itself. Thus iron, if kept I'M
combined with anything else, will yield
only iron and iron alone. 1t is simple

anything simpler.
In 1874, when Professor Josiah p.
Cooke, ,Jr.. of Harvard college published
his we'll known work on the new chem

stances certainly known to chemists. In
1891, according TO list given by Pro-
fessor Ira Remsen of the Johns Hopkins

A SOLDIERS STATURE.
The Physical Proportions of Uncle Sans
Eighth. Mcn.

rff-sit.tl.
An Apollo is all right from che stand
point of beauty and serves we'll tho pur-
poses Of the sculptor. But he is not the
model for u soldier IF the latter en-
durance is wanted, and he has model
of his own. He need not be fair to soe
(Belvedere) but he is terrible to the
enemy.
An official publication by Lieutenant
Colonel Woodruff of the medical de-
partment of the army gives number OF
points with reference to the physical
accomplishments of the soldier that are
of interest at this time. First, howev-
er, there is y question of age. The ideal
arc for cavalry is 30 years for other
arms of the service 35 years. Soldiers
under % years are considered undesira-
bic, not being sufficiently mature.
Tho minimum height for Il soldier is
5 feet / inches, the maximum for cav.
airy . feet 10 inches. For infantry
there must be y proper proportion be-
tween height and weight. Taking feet
inches rs point Of departure, tho
ideal weight is considered two pounds
to tho inch Seven pounds are added
for each inch above 5 feet Z inches.
Thus Il soldier of the height last named,
that is 81 inches, should weigh 1874
pounds. Should he be 6 feet tall 50
pounds should be added, making 1863
pounds. Should he be & feet 3 inches i'll
height his proper weight would be 100
pounds. AS 1870 pounds is tho maximum
weight Il soldier measuring moro than
6 feet inches would bo too heavy il
properly proporticned.
1t is not to be understood that these
precise weights are to be exacted from
men who enlist y reasonable approx
nation to them is sought and is de-
nlanded except in cases where the dc
sire to get recruits rapidly relaxos tho
rule or where special exceptions arc
made by reason of the desirability of
the recruit III other respects. For
though the main aim is to mako fight
ing machine out Of the best physical
material obtainable, yet it is impossi-
bic to ignore altogether mental and
moral qualities which may happen to
count for more in some cases than the
most perfect physique. AS an illustra-
ton of this it may be noted that the ap-
plication Of the rule rcidly would have
excluded both Napoleon and Nelson
and RELOCATED them to civil life.
The question whether men from town
or country make the better soldiers has
been much Mooted. The general opinion
is that the hardy farmers are best fitted
for endurance, but there is a good deal
of evidence to the contrary. Colonel
Woodhulls Judgment hits the medium
between the extremes. With two years
for preparation the farmer is better;

The pyramid of Cholula is one of the
wonders of Mexico. The date of its
building is unknown. 1t was there be-
fore the Aztecs came, and they were

of great deluge that overspread tho

When the Spaniards came, they de-
stroyed the sumptuous temple of the
"god of the air" that stood on the sum-

The pyramid, says Modern Mexico,
has the appearance of a natural hill, as
it's sides are overgrown with trees and
bushes, which is but an evidence Of its
great antiquity, IS its interior is COM
posed of alternate layers of sun dried
brick, clay and limestone. The height
is 1T feet above the plain. The four
sides face the cardinal points and are
laid in terraces that now are oversrown
with flowers and shrubs The base lines
are more than LOCO feet Oh each side,

For the Butter Men.

Consul Ruffin of Paraguay says that
the butter supply for that country
comes mainly from Europe and is in
ferior to thatmade in the United States.
He thinks the Superior quality Of Ameri-
can butter would insure ITS rapid sale,
and states that the retail price is from
80 to 40 cents, gold, per pound. For
eign butter, however, pays a so pei
cent duty. The consul suggests the fol
lowing innocent tricks of the trade:
"Let any butter manufacturer cater to
the whims Of the people by placing Oh
his small cans a picture Of the president
of Paraguay, CT those of some of the
leading statesmen and an old historic
house or two, which would catch the
eye of the people and cause it to be
talked about This would give popu-
larity to the American brand, and ought
to lead to quick and profitable sales.
