If the time ever comes that
United States soldiers are compelled

treachery and torture without being
permitted to use harsh measures in

Force of Gravity over the Oceans

The force of gravity over the land
is determined by counting the number
of swings of a pendulum of known
length that occur in a known lapse
of time. DIR. Hecker, of POtsdam, has
recently made an attempt to deter
mine the relative force of gravity over
different parts of the Atlantic ocean
between Hamburg and Bahia by means
of a barometer and a hypsometer "a
boiling point thermometer. The ba-
rometric formula contains term de-
pending on the intensity of gravity at
the place of observation. The hyp-
someter is independent of this infili-
ence. A comparison of the results of
simultaneous observations by the two
methods affords means of determine
ing the force of gravity approximate
ly. The preliminary results indicate
that gravity of the deep ocean is near
iy normal and they confirm Pratt's
hypothesis in regard to the isostatic
arrangement of the masses of the
earth's crust.-N. Y. Sun.

TuB RED AND TIM HLUN.

The other day the Yale baseball aggre- gation went to Cambridge and in the presence of a cloud of witnesses, most of whom appeared and cheered for the defense, wiped the earth with the Reds. Yesterday the Harvard baseball combine came to New Haven and in the presence of a cloud of witnesses, most of whom appeared and cheered for the defense, wiped the earth with the Blues. Such is life, and that's about all that can be said. The Yale nine played with a disregard of vic- tory that was sublime except to those who had bet their money on it and wanted more runs for their money than they got The Harvard nine didn't play much better, and it didn't need to.
 Fortunately baseball victories are not the chief triumphs which a University should seek, and so yesterdays loss is not as important as it seems to some, Still, when a University plays baseball it ought to play it well, on account of the advertising there is in good ball playing

WHAT BROKE HIM,

] An Unexpected Occurrence that Dis pelled Loves Young Dream
 Try to bear up, dear" she said when he went to her and confessed that he had lost all; 'it may be for the best" In one cruel day the work of years had been swept away He had hoped to surround her with luxuries such as she had never known before. But the splendid dream was ended He was almost penniless, and had gone to her frankly to let her break the engage ment if the loss of his money made any difference to her,
 The brave girl did not turn from him, She put her beautiful face against his own and leaned fondly upon his breast.
 Though you have lost your money" she said you are still my brave, noble hero. You are the only man in the world for me. I would rather be yours and penniless than the wife of the greatest king that ever sat upon a throne. Do not sigh, love Your money is gone but we have each other, and can we be poor while love remains for us to have?"
 'Ah, my darling," he exclaimed pressing her close to his heart and pas slonately kissing her again and again 'I cannot understand what I have ever done to deserve to win you? My love my life-ny all! What is money while may have you and know that you are glad to be mine? What have lost to-day is but poor payment for the hap piness you have given me in this proof of your love My angel It is as you say My loss was for the best for without that loss I could not have known the depth of your love"
 Their lips met again and for awhile they stood lost in thick, moist fog of ecstasy. At last she asked in the low, sweet tones that were to him as the most exquisite music:
 How did your misfortune occur, dearest?"
 q had tip on July oats and sold short for decline"
 "Yes," she urged.
 But Hammond Bunkley. the man who is to marry your friend, Miss Merryman, just as I began to think everything was going my way, suc- ceeded in establishing corner The result was sudden rise that swamped me"
 And who got the money you lost?' she asked, drawing back in sudden fear.
 He All that was mine is his. T''-
 What" she yelled, jumping over chair to be out of his reach; you ask me to share your poverty while Maude Merryman is to live in luxuryI No, no, no! Leave me! Leave me! It can never be. If you were fool enough to lose your money to him you'll have to try to pick up alone. She shall never look down with pity on mel"

4 FAITHFUL RAPPORT.

The report of the Parliamentary com
 mittee appointed to consider the educa- ton and training of officers of the Brit
 ish army is apparently a faithful one
 It says that the committee has been greatly impressed by the widespread
 dissatisfaction with the present state of education, both military and gen. eral, among officers. The Commander in-Chief has expressed himself as dis satisfied with both the general and technical education of his subordinates, and other witnesses have declared that it is no uncommon thing to find officers incapable of drawing up an ineligible report. All witnesses were unanimous lamentably wanting in military knowl- edge, and, what is worse, in desire to acquire knowledge and in zeal. The committee learned that the majority of young officers will not work unless 
 fashion,; that 'it is not the correct form; the spirit of fashion is rather not to show keerness"; and that "the idea is, to put # in 2 few words, to do as little as they possibly can" It recom- mends the retention of Woolwich and Sandhurst but advises the abolition of the intricate system of separate en- trance examinations for Woolwich, Sandhurst the militia, etc., and the of one general examination for all army candidates, those who take the highest places, under certain reser- vations to have the option of joining Woolwich, while those who pass lower down will enter Sandhurst.

| No other class of men so brutal and merciless as these swindlers of immi- 1 grants, has ever turned up here. Most | of them are Italians, and they pick their victims from among their own countrymen. On several occasions lately, when they have been caught and | run out of the barge office, they have pulled knives or pistols and shown fight. There was an illustration of the sort of thing these sWindlers do, on Tues day last, when one of of them went to Ellis Island on a pass which he had procured from a steamship company on
 the plea that he had a cousin coming over on the companys arriving ship. At Ellis Island he got hold of a crowd ot 10 Italian immigrants, all bound for
 Boston. Each immigrant had his ticket rom New York to Boston in his pos- session.
 The swindIer ingra tiated himself with the Italians and offered to take them
 safely on their train. They thanked him for his kindness, and when he sug- gested that they give him their tickets to Boston they did so. The swindler got them from Ellis Island to the barge office safely, and in another minute would have had them outside and en- tirely in his power.
 But just as they were passing out the two barge office policemen, Geb- hard and Dickey spotted the sWindler. They held the party up. soon found out the situation, and then made a com bined attack on the swndler From long experience these two policeman have learned that there is only one way to treat thieves of this type. They just hauled out clubs and belabored him as long as they could keep him within reach
 The 15 men that he would have robbed wanted to pitch in and help their supposed friend out. but customs officials forced them back and ex- plained their narrow escape to them. The swindler finally managed to escape but he will remember that clubbing for many day,
 T suppose some people who saw that thing will write to the commissioner about the brutal policeman at the barge office said Gebhard afterward. DO you know what the fellow would have done if he had got those people out of here. He'd have sold all their railroad tickets to Boston to scalper, then he'd have taken them over to some house on the riven front in Brooklyn robbed them of all they had, brought them back here, and turned them loose in the street I wish l could have clubbed his head off New York Sun.

IMMIGRANT SWINDLERS.
They Flourish at the New York Barge
 Office Despite Precautions.

Notwithstanding the severe meas ures which have been taken to keep Italian thieves and bunco steerers away from immigrants at the barge office these swindlers still ply their trade there at Ellis Island, with apparently a large amount of success. The boldness with which these men work and the cleverness with which they elude the policemen and experienced agents of immigration societies who are paid to catch them, is surprising.

4 EERYID YOnNG MIN.

A young man of Hamilton, Ohio, who was arrested for setting fire to a mil confessed the crime and gave as his reason for committing it that while he had work to do he had no time to visit with his girl, since he was on night duty. By burning the mill he hoped to have a vacation which he could devote to courting.
 There are prosac people who will think that this young man did not ex- hibit an accurate sense of proportion. They will admit that the courting is all right in the time and place for it, but they will deny that the young man was justified in burning a mill to get more time for courting. But it is evident that the young man is not of the prosaic kind. To him courting is more import ant than many mills. and when one stood in the way of his courting he just naturally burned it. He has a fervid and a poetic nature, perhaps little too fervid and poetic, as things are arrang- ed in this world. It is quite proba ble that he will have to suffer for his lack of conformity to the general standard, but he can console himself with the thought that he estimates courting at something like it's real value

KING LDN,1IRD.

God save the King" will be said and sung during the next few days, if the King does not immediately die, in diff ferent way from that in which it had
 been planned to say and sing it. That is melancholy news which came from
 England yesterday. Everything was ready for one of the grandest and most impressive ceremonies that the world has lately seen. The preparation for it expensive. A devastating war had been
 brought to an end that peace might add her beauty to the scene But he who
 was to be the chief figure of the great pageant has been laid low and where
 there was gaiety and joyful expectation
 there is now gloom and fear. The re-
 port is that the operation that has been
 performed was successful, and the bul-
 letins are not discouraging. But 1t should be remembered that that is the usual thing In such cases, that the King is about sixty-one years old and that his life has not been such as to help him in this test. Already some of the Lon- don special correspondents are tele- graphing that there is really no hope. If the worst comes to pass there will be mourning throughout the civilized world. But it is cheering to remember that though the King may die the gov ernment of England will live, and there will be speedy recovery from the shock

A company has been formed in Copen- hagen for the construction of trial steamship of a new type. The inventor is Captain F. C. Ishoy, who has taken out patents in the principal countries In this new form of steamer the screw is placed under the bottom instead of aft. The hull is materially changed in form, being f1atter, and the ships draft thereby considerably lessened It is claimed that a saving in the consump- ton of coal of about twenty per cent will be affected. The inventor believes that with the same amount of fuel the speed will be greatly increased. and, finally, that this form of craft will be much steadier and more seaworthy.
