4 Shadow and Space.

New York is an active town all
the time When the weather is right,
it takes out this activity in physical
form. VIXEN the temperature begins
to tune up, it turns activity into in
tellectual pursuits. This naturally is
something OF a strain on New York,
which probably accounts for the fact
that the city is just now wildly excit-
ed over the question. Does q shadow
occupy space?
Everybody in Washington knows
that this city is the abiding place Of
an extraordinary high grade OF intel
ligence. The Times DOUBTS not that
Washington intelligence viii be able
instantly to answer this momentous
inquiry regarding the space Of a
shadow 1t has a fancy that it would
like to prove the superior quality Of
Washington intelligence to the world
at arge-especially to New York
Therefore, it places its columns at the
disposal of its readers. What have
they to say? Does a shadow occupy
space?
All viii doubtless agree that ii a
shadow is substance it occupies space.
Certainly the shadow Of a building
on a hot day seems to occupy space,
but if the shadow is the real thing
where does it so TO when the sun
moves around TO the other side OF the
street? In fact, is a shadow anything
anyhow, except the visible indica-
ton of the absence Of something?

THESE MOSTLY SERVANTS

Only 5 per cent Of the enlisted men IN
the United States navy are foreigners.
This announcement in he report OF
the Secretary Of the Navy for the fiscal
year ended June 80, has caused much
surprise among naval officers. who be-
lieved the percentage of alien born
sailors to be much larger
Despite an increase in the limit OF en-
listed men nearly every year since the
Spanish war, IL appears likely that the
department Will ask Congress 10 set the
figure ahead again this year Ten years
ago little more than seven Thousand
enlisted men were reported, and next
year Congress viii probably be asked
10 appropriate pay fer at least thirty

Fewer Aliens Each Year.
In 1880 only a trife more than 50 per
cent Of the sailors in the American
navy were citizens; last year s07 Der
cent We're Americans, and this years
report shows the percentage to have in
creased to about 90

nois, Iowa, and Kansas. We don't need
10 take foreigners. as We did ten years
ago, because we had no men trained tor
the sea in our own land"
III the Secretary'S report OF 1880 a
recommendation was made that IL be
made easier for men 70 become citizens.
IN that year gunner in the navy was
refused citizenship, although he had
served in the navy seven years and sue
ceSSfuIiy passed the gunnery schools
at Newport and Washington. This sug-
gestion was followed and the increase
OF American citizenship among the sail
Ors IS a result.
Foreigners Mostly Servants.
Were ii not for the fact that servants
and mess attendants. most Of whom are
foreigners, We're numbered among the
enlisted men in the navy, the rolls
would be very nearly purely American.
An evidence which upholds the con-
tention that the navy is nearing an I'M
usual point as regards Anericanism Is
the large percentage OF native born men
found among the apprentices and lands
men for training. Last year the per-
centage was 50 American born and :
foreign born for apprentices and IS ana
, { per cent, respectively, for landsmen.
II is said thar in this year report the
foreign born percentage will be consid-
er2bly lower.
