A NEW metal as hard as iron. as

a French scientist, who has been called
the Jules Verne of modern inventors.
Like many another wonderful inven-
tion of the age selium. as the new metal
is called. was discovered by accident
N. Mollard was experimenting with a
view TO find a solder which could be
used on aluminium. It occurred 10 him
that he might produce metal OF the
same properties as aluminium and after
weeks OF experiment the young French
man succeeded. selium costs only I cent
a pound 10 make. whereas 10 separate
aluminium from its surrounding ele-
nents cost y cents.

terviewed the other day, lis harder,

GIANTS OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE FORCE

~ found several big men. four of
whom are specially noted for
their great height and weight They are
giants as compared with an ordinary
man, and are among the most striking
figures. physically speaking. to be found
at the National Capital.
Big men gravitate 10 the police de-
rartments of the country In all the
cities are to be found a squad of tall
fellows who look fine in the coats of
blue and high helmets constituting the
regulation dress. In fact the whole
body of the police. especially in Wash
ington. are men above the average
height and weight.
The tallest man on the Washington
force is John T Kennedy. of the First
precinct. Next in line IS Otis J. Ire
mis-, of No. I. The third is Charles r.
Osterman, of the Sixth precinct. The
fourth is Bernard Mccormick, of the
Ninth precinct. Stretched upon the
ground. lying at full length. head to
heel. these men would measure in their
shoes twenty-seven feet, and their com
bined weight would be $50 pounds. When
il is remembered that there are al least
twenty others among the policemen who
are almost equal to these in height and
weight. it is seen that most of the big
gest men in Washington are walking
beats day or night in the protection of
life and property at the National Capt.
tai. 1t would be impossible TO find so
many big fellows grouped in any other
vocation.
Kennedy the Giant of the Force.
John T. Kennedy is the giant OF them
all. A year or two ago a contest was
arranged by the chiefs of police OF the
various cities and a prize offered to the
taliest policeman in the United States.
Kennedy was photographed for this con-
test and was the competitor for Wash
ington. In helmet and shoes he meas
ured six feet nine and one-third inches,
and tipped the scale at 2s5 pounds. He
was third in the list when the returns
were all in
One curious fact regarding Kennedy Is
that he grew three inches in height after
he Joined the force. He was appointed
July 1, 1898. when he was twenty-five
years old. Within four years he actually
grew three inches. His official height al
the time of appointment in his bare feet
was six feet three inches. and his meas
ure taken several times. since has been
invariably six feet six inches. His
weight at twenty-five was 197 pounds.
and he has been gradually creeping up
until he now registers 265.
Kennedy IS a strikiingly handsome
man. He came from the Green Hills
OF Virginia and is one of the fairest
Of the sons Of the Old Dominion. His
face Is round and smooth as boys
and he generally wears a pleasant smile

young woman with blond hair falling to
her waist. She wore only night dress
which reached 70 her feet. which were
bare. and she walked swiftly with no
sound OF football on the grass of pave
ment. She was evidently asleep. and
held her head stifiy in one position.
McCormick's partner passed across the
street quietly and intercepted the girl
by asking who she was and what she
che was doing on the street at that
time in the morning. The girl awoke
with startled look, but Immediately
stiffened up and asked the officer whether
she did not have a right to walk around
her fathers grounds at night IL she chose
to do so. She exhibited no fear. nor
would she explain to the policeman why
she was incoming alone. They took
her to the house not far away, awaken
ed the girls father. who was as sur
prised as a man could well be 10 learn
that his daughter was out OF the house.
She was taken In, and that was the
last of her nocturnal wanderings out
OF doors. II was told 10 the policemen
that not a door OF window IN the house
was open, and that the girl had reached
the ground by climbing from her win
dow to the ground on an old shed They
thought she must have been accustomed
to return in the same way. The girl
was sufferer from some nervous malady
which led her to walk about IN her
sleep.
Caught a Diamond Thief.
Mccormick worked out the arrest OF
the negro who stole some valuable dia-
monds from q woman n Portne- Place
The robbery was effected in the even
ing on the street. the thief tearing on
a brooch from the woman's dress, and
one OF the earrings from her ear. She
was attended by a colorel girl who saw
the man. The servant said she had seen
the same man holding horses at the
transfer station on Fourteenth Street.
From the description given Mccormick
spotted the fellow. and afterward ar
rested him IN barber shop. The SER
want girl identified him, picking him out
from among five other negroes. The wo-
man who was robbed was morally certain
he was the man, but failed 10 identify
him positively. The fellow wGs sent
TO the penitentiary for the crime.
From these brief sketches IL will ba
seen that there is an honored calling
in which big men are useful, and where
fine physique is capital to the possessor-
These men are all as strong as they are
high of stature, and in police duty grit
and physical endurance are al a prem
ium. The big men have an advantage
and Il IS for that reason no man less
than certain height can be appointed.
II Is a profession OF giants in physical
build, and Washington has its share OF
big fellows. who, II necessary. could
whip their weight in wild cats"

team had a bunch of bad luck and errors

Artistic Education.

Artistic education, whether by the
direct teaching which develops the
power of creation or by the indirect in
fluence of surroundings, which improve
the taste and ennoble life, is not lux
ury and should never be so regarded.
Luxury pampers the body, art glad
dens the soul; luxury seeks for dainty
food and soft raiment, art seeks fol
the beauty which ennobles the mino
and uplifts the heart; luxury weakens
the powers; art, on the other hand
strengthens them; luxury debases the
ideals of life, art inspires and exalts
them.
