EPocH-MAKlNc PRINCIPLES.
The Great Scientific Discoveries of the
Last Century.

Sir William PrecCc, In n recent adj
dress before the Society of Arts,
cnumerates the great scientific dis
coverics of the nineteenth century TO
as follows:
The principle of evolution.
The atomic structure Of matter.
The existence Of the ether and the
unduatory theory Of light.
The principles of electromagnetic
induction ard clcctrolysis.
The principle OF the conservation OF
energy.
These hc proceeds to discuss at
length, showing their influence upon
what we may expect to follow and
supplement them.
In the course Of evolution we may
expect sclcctivc modification to he in
fucnccd by the maiusprings which arc
acting most powerfully, the struggle
FOR power. thc race for individual
wealth, the pursuit OF knowledge, the
combat with disease. the advance in
comfort OF living; aud these forces
may he expected to act in the future
as they have I'm the past
The study of the atomic constitution
of matter may lead to the discovery Of
many new elements. or possibly to the
revelation of the one Fundamental elc-
mcut. OF which all others are but va
ricd manifestations.
The existence OF the ether is still in

Young iadian Chiefs and Noble. Who
Have Joined the New CorDs


Thus far seventeen young chiefs and
mobiles have Joined the imperial cadet
corps. which was established in India
a short while ago. or these. thirteen
come from Raiputana and the central
states, two from the Bombay presi-
dency. one from the Puniab, and one
from Hyderabad. Four are ruling
chiefs. The others are scions OF
princely or aristocratic families, most
OF whom have been educated al the
various chiefs colleges II is the pur-
pose Of the vlceroy 20 modify, in some
degree, the curriculum AZ these insti-
tuions, in order that the pupils may be
better qualified for the duties which
they Will have 10 perform hereafter
as cadets, and later in staff positions
in the Anglo-indian army. A winter
camp for the corps has been arranged
at MeeTut, and the first course Of in
struction will be given there. The
government will provide each cadet
with a charger The number OF horses
and ponies and personal attendants for
each cadet has been narrowly limited.
Living in camp will be simple and the
discipline strict. The closest attention
will be paid 10 caste rules. The en-
tire course Of instruction, which will
combine drill. riding and military ex-
ercises, with suitable indoor instruc-
tion. will he SO designed as TO enable
the pick OF the cadets in time TO take
their places as British officers. while
never losing the character and bearing
OF Indian gentlemen. When on duty
and during instruction the cadets will
wear simple uniform. On ceremonial
or state occasions they will wear
state uniform, for which special de-
signs are TO be made. Probably the
cadets will soon be inspected by the
viceroy, and they will form a conspic-
uous feature in his escort at the proc
lamation durbar at Delhi on January
/. 1903. The result OF this attempt TO
bring the British and native divisions
OF the Anglo-Indian army into close
relationship will be watched with in

he was bound. When he came 10 the
end Of the girder he paused, for "A
moment, 10 breathe. His feet rested
on an iron plank. sixteen inches wide.
There was nothing abOve-nOthiDg on
either side; all about was misty space,
all that was solid was underfOot.
"Hiw Big Red roared, OF "A sudden.
The kid had reached for the tackle.
II was now plain 10 the men on the
bluff that he meant 10 descend by IL.
They came after him, threatening him
with violence If he should persevere.
Come back or I'll throw you off"
Big Red shouted, hOarsely.
Unhappily for the kid. he could not
catch the ropes. Three times he tried
yanly to grasp them; each time, 50
desperate was the effort, he placed his
balance In fearful jeopardy. AT last
his finger brushed the nearest strand.
This gave him an idea. He brought
his feet together, and advanced them
until the tips Of his toes were flush
with the end Of the girdcr He reached
again, and failed again. He allowed
himself half an inch more. Then, by
leaning out 50 far that a breath Of air
might have tOppled him over, he was
able 10 touch the rope again, and 10
push It. This nearly cost him his
balance. He tottered for the space Of
breath; but recovered, cleverly, and
leaned forward again, nothing dauntcd.
Meanwhile. Big Red was tiptOeing
after him. The kid felt the girdcr
vibrate. He turned his head, but kept
his feet i'm their place.
"Gct out Of thcrer hc said grimly.
LET me alone. you! Don't you come
here! Get backw
Come back, kid" he whincd. "It'll
be all right If you come back. We
won't hurt you"
For an answer the kid reached again
for the rope, bearing himself as If
Big Red Smith were nowhere about
He was tecterlng on his toes, and had
as much Of his body thrust forward
as his balance could sustain. Another
push on the rope set the block below
swinging like a pendulum He pushed
IL agaln-and again-and again. With
each touch it's swing was greater. At
last one rope came within reach. lIc
crooked his forchnger about It, and
held IL.
The weight of the block on It's re-
turn swing, was a heavy strain to
put upon his delicate poisc. For an
instant he was on the point OF leaping
for the rope before he should be
wrcnched from his place. He met the
strain, however; fixed his grip, pulled
the arm OF the derrick in, and selected
the standing fnll-thc only stationary
rope Of all the tackle II was but the
work OF a moment to wind this about
his leg, swing far out. and slide
swiftly toward the ground leaving

might
Johnson was bidding the supcrin-
tendent good night when the kid, out
of breath, brought his warning to the
office door. Johnson was saved. and

vantage Of the potato famine in this
country and reaped handsome profits
on potatoes brought from Europe are
congratulating themselves on the fact
that they rcapcd their profits early, for
there has recently been Il very heavy

To the almost Unprecedented influx of
potatoes from abroad. which has af.

extended his hand and said: Excuse
me. but that comes my way"
The significance OF this was that Mr..
Craig was taking chances with no per-
son.
After the city hall speech President
Roosevelt was escorted 70 the EDDY street
door, whore his carriage was In waiting
for him.
The mourted police had taken UP their
position near Fulton street: the cavalry
were In the rear OF the police.
Mr.. Craig jumped TO the box and sig
nailed the driver TO move on that others
OF the party might take their carriages.
One OF the cavalry horses balked.
which caused the driver OF the presi-
dents carriage 20 rein UP his steeds.
There was an instant or confusion.
Horses were prancing and the crowd ber
gun to surge. some OF the people dropped
on the curbstone into the street and get
ting very near 10 the carriage door.
Mr.. Craig swung himself TO the right,
leaning FAR over and looking earnestly at
every person and every move that was
made by each individual.
At the same instant his right hand was
carried to his hip pocket
The movement was very significant
and the crowd knew what IL portended.
Every man had tho sense not 10 move
forward.
simultaneously the other secret service
agents who were In the carriage imme-

president made ready TO leap TO the
street
The disturbance was quickly quelled.
the trouble was over in a minute, Mr.
Craig raised his hand. the carriages
moved on and the special officers resumed
their s2ats.
II was with a sigh OF relief that Mr.

IMPRESSION SECRET SERVICE
MAN CRAIG MADE In THIS CITY

There was no person In President
Roosevelt's party during his visit to
Providence. other than SECRETARY Cortel-
you. so prominent az william b. Craig.
He was In charge of the special detail
OF secret service men sent out from
Washington to protect tho president from
harm. to keep cranks at a safe distance
and TO hold back all excited persons who
might be imbued with a desire TO shake
hands with him.
Mr. Craig's special mission was to pre-
vent the possibility OF a repetition Of the
Buffalo tragedy, when a cowardiy as
sassin. pretending TO shake hands with
President Mckinley, gave the nation 30
great a shock and sorrow.
When tho presidential train slowed
down at Pastime Park. Riverpoint and
before any OF the distinguished party
could alight. Mr. Craig swung himself
from the prestdent's car. took quick
survey of the situation, observed that the
local officers had thoroughly policod the
stretch OF track and cleared II OF all per-
sons. and then gave signai to the
other secret service men who stood on
the car steps that everything was all
right.
President Roosevelt and party and the
corps OF special newspaper writer's and
photographers. then left the train and
descended the stairway leading TO the
park.
Mr.. Craig was always 50 close TO the
president that ne could have stretched
out his arm ana touched him.
The return 20 tho train. the alighting
from II here. the short walk 10 the main
entrance Of the station. was all under the
same sharp espionage.
Mr.. Craig assembled TO the box OF the
presidents carriage and the instant he
was at that post he faced the crowd
nearest TO President Roosevelt.
AT the state house and in the city hall
Mr.. Craig kept a strict watch upon every
person. His eyes were restless. They
travelled quickly from right to left, taking

remote from the immediate presence OF
