He was assigned to western posts, but
even there the cost of living and keep
ing up the style that is expected of an
army officer left him little or nothing
out of his income. Itwas a hard strug-
gle and taught him that the fullest dis
charge OF an officers duty is sometimes
interferred with by the worry of do
mestic expenses.
OF late years, however, the young
officers in the army have been more
fortunate than some of the older ones
in the matter of marriage Army and
navy officers in Washington, even of
the lowest rank, are little heroes
among the female sex and girls Of
wealth seem very glad to contract mar
riages with them. The wifes income
comes in very handy in sustaining the
establishment and style which society
expects OF these officers This fact has
created serious objection to the sug-
gestion of Gen. Corbin that the consent
of the war department be secured by
young lieutenants before they enter
into the marriage relation. They re-
sent the idea of being called upon to
give their financial standing. which
would include an estimate of their
f1nancees' marriage dot"
There are very few OF Gen. Corbin's
old comrades who endorse his ideas, as
it is claimed that young man possess
ing the integrity and moral standing
required of young officers will be able,
by reasonable economy and manage
ment, to live on the salary allowances

been constructed which run all the way
up the interior walls of the monument,
extending to within a few feet of the
tower floor. In these pipes wires will
be extended with weights attached to
the ends and scientists will carefully
measure the stretch of the wire pro-
duced by the gravity of the earth. This
will be done by an instrument called
the cathetometer.
1t will require some very accurate
figuring, but it is expected that the re-
suits will be of much Importance and
value. The most extensive test of this
kind ever conducted before were with
73-foot wires. Dr. Becker's experiments
will measure the infinitesimal degrees
OF strain on wire over 500 feet long
When the results are computed bridge
builders and construction engineers
will have more accurate idea of the
ratio of strain in the materials which
they use. At present, in the building
of bridges, the laws of elasticity cannot
be definitely reckoned with So far as
the biologists and their knowledge of
the earth's compressibility is con-
cerned they are still worse off from a
scientific standpoint. The tests now
being made, it is hoped, will in a great
measure relieve these conditions.

the president is not on flying visit to
the city. Gen. Fred Grant is the living
image of his father. His coming to sue
ceed Gen. Corbin as commander of the
department of the east brings him 20
that home of his young manhood which
he knows best of all. For Gen. Grant
has been a resident of the city, off and
on, for 80 years. 1t was from New York
that he was appointed minister to Aus
tria. He was for time police commits
sioner of the city, like Roosevelt, and
with equal earnestness worked for the
regeneration of the department.. His
home in New York was the narrow, deep
house on Sixty-seventh street to which
the elder Grant came from Washington
for the unhappy experience in "hign
finance" in which business ignorance
and knavish partner plunged him. The
present general will live on Governors
island. which was never his fathers
home; in the quiet commanders quar-
ters where amidst the sea traffic of all
the world calm as if of closter is per-
petual. The appearance of calm is de-
ceptive if it were to indicate drowsiness.
The department includes a great num-
ber of big harbor forts; those of New
York particularly are upon a scale little
realized by people who pass them every
day unthinking. There is plenty of alb
sorbing work.
OF the great change made by modern
ordnance Gen. Grant will have a re-
minder in 80 great cannon lying upon a
dock of the little island, almost in sight
of his house. They cost $40 ,0O0, 900 in
the time of his father; now they are not
worth ten cents. Not even for old iron?
No; for some reason which l do not un-
derstand, even junk dealers do not want
them. Perhaps they are too heavy to
handle; perhaps the composition of the
metal-huge rified cannon of the old
type-is not nowadays fashionable. The
new rifled cannon that from unobtrusiva
pits in the sand guard the port are all OF
the modern type. firing at 12-mile
range a pointed projectile that would
pierce if fairly hit the armor of any shir
likely to wander this way. There has
been a great, though well-concealed
change in the defenss%, of New York

made for schooling outside the school.
The free lecture system is only 16 years
old; it grew from small begin
nings through the faith OF a
few, whom DR.. LeipZiger, the
superintendent, has always led. 1t has
been threatened time and again with
extinction as an improper use of tax
money. The last threat was uttered only
last winter.
Yet 140 free evening lecture courses are
now in operation in as many public
schools. The halls cost nothing but
heating and lighting. Some of the most
talented people of the city offer their
services as public duty for the NOM
inal fee of SO per evening. A quarter
of a million people may be hearing the
course in any evening. The schools Of
New York are the most expensive in the
world; the lecture system, considering
the advantages it offers to so many peo-
pie for amusement and information, is
very cheap. 1t makes use of the civic
pride of New York's best citizens-and
of these the city has plenty.
At the top of the public school system
is the college of the city of New York.
1t has been called big high school. 1t
is more than that. ranking with the
smaller state universities of the south
and west. At the top of the free lecture
system are such admirable offerings as
the illustrated talks in the great hall of
the natural history museum by enthusi-
astic scientists who there are building

hibits

throw above the famous Henry Street
school, where 80 nations are being
welded together into one. and where the
morning salute to the flag is the most
touching sight in the city. Between the
two, just at the corner of Essex street
and the new Division street park, where
a living tide of squalid humanity boilS
all day back and forth, another of the
same size is going up. A devoted man,
Superintendent Snyder, plans these
schools. He believes that they should
teach beauty in the slums. Many of his
newer plans are in the secular gothic
style so successfully used in England

ing the palaces of Florence in her golden

All the new schools contain baths
though that necessity is decreasing just
as it is beginning to be met. The newer
tenements are often constructed with
bathrooms. In the Older houses that
they replace there were sometimes
whole blocks that averaged but two or
three bathrooms to 5000 people.

immediate relationship the bishop OF
New York, the owners of the Potter
building and other famous men of the
metropolis. His beautiful wife, Cora
Urquhart Potter, had been on the stage
for some years when, in 1900, he obtained
a divorce. He has always lived quietly
and has never offended against taste in
any way. His beautiful daughter, left in
his custody by the separation, has made
an excellent match. There is no reason
as society reckons, why he should not
marry.
Remains, of course, the Episcopalian
objections to the remarriage of church
members, but that command has been
broken in so many families, that it now
excites no surprise. 1t is curious coin
cidence that it has been disregarded in
the immediate families both of the
bishop of New York and of the late
Bishop Littlejohn, Of Brooklyn. whose
daughter was divorced from her hus-
band. a noted lawyer there. Nor has the
Potter objection the use of ones talents
on the stage prevented one member OF
the family, James Browns cousin, from
being a professional singer, and good
one.
Mrs. Potter was one of the prettiest
women New York had ever seen when
she electrified society by reciting at a
charitable entertainment Referee
George Simm's poem of "'Ostler Joe,' u
which was in those simple days consid-
cred daring choice. The many-jointed
tongue of the town wagged at a great
rate. Not long after came the breach,
when Mrs. Potter went upon the pro-
fessiocal stage and made her vaunt,
which the profession has never forgot
ten or forgiven. that she did so to "ele-
vate the theater." The silly remark OF
one who was little more than a girl. in
toxicated by public admiration of he:
beauty, need not be remembered against
her now, when she has by hard work
made the profession her own.

MIR. Roosevelt could accustom himself
TO the guardianship of these secret po-

earnest solicitation of his wife and
