Metal Lighter Than Aluminium.

A new metal similar to alum
mum, but of still lesser weight,
has been discovered BY the French
engineer, Albert Nodon, and call
ed '.nodium,' after him. 1t is
manufactured by an electric pro
cess. In color, luster and struct-
ure it is almost exactly like steel.
Its specific weight when molten is
only IA. Its resistance against
breaking is given as about twen-
ty pounds square of o.o4 inch.
Its constancy in the air is higher
than that of aluminium. Its due
tility is between six to eight inch
es. Its malleability can be COM
pared to that of bronze. It melts
at about 600 degrees.

Literary Tramp.

The oldest specimen of a liter
ary tramp and linguist was recently
in the custody of Sheriff Frank, of
Grundy county, Ill. The sheriff
one morning was kept busy answer
ing telephone calls from a dozen
different localities of the county, in
curing about a wild man who was
abroad in the land. warning him to
be on the watch for him, as he was
bound for Morris. When the wild
man came along he lad twenty-five
pounds of old magazines and pc
riodicals under one arm, and be-
sides tie several suits of clothing
that he was wearing. he had six
pairs of trousers tied around his
neck. When Sheriff Francis took
the man in charge he was found to
be inoffensive, had a clear mind,
and was the absolute master of no
less than FIVE languages. He could
write most of these. and seemed to
possess store of knowledge on
fvnral subjects that astonished the
sheriff and his deputies. He refus-
ed, however, to give his name or
tell wher he came from and with
er was bound. The sheriff was
content TO have him photographed
and then allowed the stranger to
go on his way rejoicing, the maya
zines being carried along as a will
ing and necessary burden.

It appears from the report of the
surgeon general OF the United
States army that ne total number
of candidates examined for enlist
msnt was 45,2I8, and that OF this
number about two-thirds, or 3o,I7o,
were accepted. This is large pro-
portion when the fact is taken into
account that the standard of excel
lence required is very high, none
but physically perfect men being
accepted. OF the 45,2IS applicants
for enlistment, 42,I83 were white
meE and 3,o35 were negroes. OF
the white men, 1890 were accept
ed, and of the negroes 2,:sS6. Out
of every 1000 men accepted, 78I .o5
on the average were born in the
United States, 64.76 in British ter
ritory, 422s in Germany and $40
in Sweden and Norway. Of Ie
American Indians examined, "a
were enlisted as scouts. It is inter
esting to note that during the year
z36 native Malays were examined
for enlistment as Philippine scouts,
and that OF these all except 20 were
accepted, showing a surprisingly
high standard of physique among
the Filipinos.

The well known thrift of the
French housewife is reflected in
the national finances. It is q fact
that the distribution of wealth in
France is wider than in any other
European country. The records
of the courts Of probate in Eng

France afford data for compari-
son. In England the 6I,233 estates
administered last year amounted

THE PHILADELPHIA North Amer
lean comments very sensibly on the
foolishness of people who think it is
Outrageous to eriticise the president
The North American calls the attitude
of such people rot of an offensive
quality" And it continues:
If there is any life left in the princi-
pie upon which this republic was
founded-and we think there is-it is
outrageous to make charges against
the president of the United States to
exactly the same degree as it is out
rageous' to make charges against any
other citizen of the United States"
1t is the opinion of our contemporary
that TO assert that the charge gains
gravity because its target was the pres
ident is rot" We cordially agree with
the North American The elevation Of
a citizen TO the highest office in the gift
of the people by no means exempts
him, or should exempt him, from crit
icism. The fact that a man is president
does not make him any the less a man.
nor. therefore. any the less liable to
mistakes. even to onenses of a graver
nature
II must always be remembered that
presidents are not elected by a unani-
nous vote of the people This year Mr..
Roosevelt came uncomfortably close to
being elected in that fashion, but there
are few of US left who did not vote
for him or support him. and we reserve
the right to criticise his official actions
whenever the occasion warrants it,
There is no such thing as lese majestic.

CALCULATIONS to our president
It has always been the rule in this
country for presidents to be criticised
by opposition newspapers and voters.
And if we needed further justification
for our position on this question we
find it abundantly in the writings Of the
present chief executive. Nobody has
criticised American presidents more
sharply than Theodore Roosevelt, or
more ~unjustly. He and his friends
should be the last to urge that there is
a divinity which doth hedge about our
chief magistrates.
We are going TO be in the minority
for the next four years, but we propose
to be as strenuous as may be with our
protests, as just as may be with our
as fair as may be with our
criticisms.

LAST GAP FILLED

THE COMPLETION Of the Lake Bal
kali gap in the Trans Siberian rail-
way is announced Freight trains arc
now running over the road around thu
southern end of the lake. but passen-
gers are still being ferried across thai
body Of water. 1t is stated though,
that before the lake freezes, passenger
trains viii be operated over the new
line This viii greatly facilitate the
transportation of troops and supplies
by the Russian war department ana
will make the Siberian road mora
important factor than ever in the Rus
so-Japanese war.
Throughout last winter, when il was
Of tie greatest Importance to Russia to
get men and munitions into Manehuria,
vexatious delays were encountered be-
cause of the necessity for ferryins
trains across the lake. 1t will be re
membered that, after the ice had frozen
to sufficient thickness, rails were az
tually laid across Baikal and trains
were run over them This method o.
operation was necessarily tedious ana
dangerous.
The announcement of the completion
of the line makes timely some facts
regarding its construction. Notwith-
standing the fact that a large proper
ton of the work was done by convict
labor the cost Of the 100 miles of road
was more than $4,000, 600. This is a
the rate of 1885, $50 per mile. and it viii
be difficult for Americans to believe
that all the money went into the road.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars must
have been diverted to the pockets OF
the men who constructed il.
We are told. though, that many ply
steal difficulties We're encountered and
overcome. Nineteen tunnels were bore1
and 1879 bridges and viaducts con-
structed. The road crosses three rivers
and runs through several mountain
chains. In many places, where the line
is close to the lake, the right of way
had to be blasted out of solid rock.
The completion of the Circum- Baikat
branch established unbroken rail con
nections between St. Petersburg and
Vladivostok, and when the war now
raging has been ended it will greatly
facilitate the civilization and settlement
Of a vast empire.

MANY SURPRISES.

THERE WERE MANY surprises in
L the election of Tuesday, but none
was greater than that offered by Mis-
souri,. Missouri seemed as safe for the
Democratic national ticket as Missis-
sippi 1t gave a majority for the ROose-
Welt electors. The detection Of Mis-
souri, makes Judge Parker a very much
worse beaten man than Bryan was in
1900. The overwhelming nature of
Judge Parker's defeat is understood
from a glance at the percentages.
Bryan in 1900 got 3467 per cent of
the total electoral vote. to 65.33 per cent
for Mckinley. This year Roosevelt
gets 72.0S per cent Of the total, while
Judge Parker gets just 1872 per cent.
Parker is not as badly beaten as was
Greeley. for Greeley got less than 20
per cent of the electoral votes. 1t is
safe to say, however, that no Democrat
ic candidate for the presidency for
years to come viii be so tremendously
slaughtered as Judge Parker has been
Another surprise was the election of
Douglas. the Democratic candidate for
governor Of Massachusetts. Although
Roosevelt was given a plurality of
nearly 10000 votes, Douglas won out
with plurality of upwards Of $1,000.
The Massachusetts, returns show that
the people there know how TO scratch
their ballots. The same thing is true
OF the AIIsgourians. who elected Folk by
a plurality of more than 10000 The
election Of Folk is the best thing for
Missouri that has happened for a long
time. Il is unfortunate that he is not
10 have a Democratic legislature to
work with, but he win be able to ac-
compIish a tremendous amount of good
for his people.
The election OF La Toilette in Wiscon-
sin and Deneen in Illinois by rousing
majorities viii cause little sorrow
among the Democrats, at least. Demo
Gratis who do not live in those states.
Both La Toilette and Deneen are first
class men. They have made splendid
records in the offices they have flied
and there is no reason for believing
they win not continue to serve their
people well.
