interesting STATISTICS or the various
Armies.
A French student has been fnvesti-
eating the subject of suicides in the
armies Of Europe, and has reached
some curious results. Everywhere,
except in Russia, the number of mill
tary suicides is decreasing; in that
country however, the average for
some years past has been 1873 in
every 100000. In France the proper
ton now is IS in 100, 900: in Italy, "a;
in Germany, S6, ard in Austria 105 to
every 100000. In civil life in this
country the Germans provide the
largest proportion of suicides; it is
curious to find them surpassed in
Europe by the Austrian and Russian
soldiers.
The different arms of the services
commit suicide in differing proper
tons. In the French army self-mur-
der is commonest among the men of
the Foreign Legion, of whom 80 in
100000 commit it yearly, and least
common among those Of the Garde
Republicaine, only IA of whom kill
themselves to each 100000. The
French cavalry provides more sui
cides than does the infantry, the in
lantry more than the artillery, and
the engineers the smallest number.
In the British army the suicide
rate is about % to the 100000 at
home and 80 per 100000 in India. In
1889 the rate in our regular army
was about Al per 100000; it is lower

What makes fiat wheels?" asked

ITS this way: If a man doesn't know
how to stop his car he makes a fat
wheel. On the steam roads some
brakemen f1atten wheel every time
they put on the brakes. When the
wheel suddenly stops revolving and the
momentum of the train carries it on,
the wheel slides along the track and
fiat is started. Next stop, perhaps,
makes it worse, and so the thing goes
Until the wheel is no good. If a brake
man knows his business he need never
make a fat wheel unless he has TO
stop suddenly to avoid an accident. If
he keeps his wheels turning slowly
they don't f1atten. Now these fellows
on the trolleys take no care at all, and
