p Berlin. Oct. 6.-The frequency Of suicides among
school boys and girls is attracting much attention
IN Germany. The Prussian Ministry OF Education
has ordered a thorough investigation OF the mat
ter, with a view finding causes and remedies.
Statistics of such suicides show that in the years
lsSS-1soS there 1125 suicides OF pupils of the
gymnasia and common schools. making aH average
OF nearly dfty-four a year. BY far the greater
number of such suicides OF children under
fifteen years old, the average yearly number for
these alone almost reaching forty-two. Less than
one-ffth OF these girls The greater fire.
quency Of suicides below fifteen years however,
was due to the fact that the pupils below that
age far outnumber those above AS a matter OF
fact. suicides above fifteen years four times
more freQuent-reckOned a percentage Of the
total number OF pupils-than below that age.
The official statistics do not give the causes OF
the suicides except in 2S4 cases. The given

parents. relatives teachers In tho higher

pupils rendered it difficult for them to accommo-
date themselves to the rules and regulations Of
the schools. One group OF these embraced pupils
whose mental capacities did fit them for the

chosen to prepare themselves Another group con

Army Aeronauts.

London Oct. s.--Cnptain F. s. Cody. the American
who accompanied the British officers in their flight
over London yesterday. has had a notable career
leading up to his present post the trusted ad-
wiser OF tho British War Office questions re-
Iating to aeronautics. Captain Cody was at one
time a cowboy in the Western States. and he bears
a strong resemblance 10 Colonel Cody. wearing his
black hair hanging down to his shoulders.
Cody came TO London some years ago. At first
he made rather a precarious living, but soon at
tracted the attention OF the experts in the British
War Office owing to his natural gifts for construc-
ton, particularly in aerial matters He was with
out any Of the training and scientific knowledge
possessed by tho British experts. but his natural
requirements made him sort OF jack Of all-trades
ready TO construct a military kite a dir1gible
balloon.
He was first employed in the series Of expert
ments with box kites These he developed ct the
British training grounds at Aldershot to such an
extent that seven enormous kites attached to a
central cable. able TO exert tremendous lift
ing power. These attached to a military cais-
son, on which Cody devised automatic adjust
ment by which the lifting power OF the kites
made equabie and without shock 70 the anchor
point BY a Photographic device attached to the
kites pictures OF the surrounding country were
taken at great attitudes The British War Office
considered this a notable achievement in
NOTHING the position of enemy.
Cody next extended his work to dirigible bal
looms. He constructed the motor and the mechani-
cal fittings for the British military airship which
sailed the city yesterday. standing at the helm

IS far more intense than the feeling on the Amer

japanese Consul and going through the Japanese
quarter Everywhere there evidence OF IN
tense hostility.
1t was not question Of labor, but of race. The
people have taken up the shiboleth OF Canada for
