Soldier and Athlete.

The soldier must not only be fighter

between the fighting man and the athlete
has been the study Of strategists ever
since war became science, and Plato
noticed that the one is not necessarily
the other. Armies OF athletes have been
defeated by armies Of desperate weak

have been routed by nimble squads OF
rustics, who knew how to make the most

Utility and Beauty.
From the Scientific American.


Evidences are not wanting of growing
appreciation OF the fact that in those
broad fields Of human activity which are
covered by the architect and the engineer
there is no necessary antagonism between
the useful and the beautiful. Too long
the idea has prevailed that whenever we
depart from those forms and dimensions
which are demanded by a strict consider
alton of prospective returns on the money
invested, more or less serious money
loss will be involved. Now. although there
may be some truth in this conviction, 1t
is not altogether true. For the public
taste has been educated to q point where
it Is beginning to be recognized that in
the construction of municipal works and
of the more monumental OF our CONNER
cial buildings their value Is distinctly in
creased, even as to their revenue-earning
capacity. in proportion as they are in
vested with true beauty and dignity.

committee, in spite Of the fact that much
very valuable rentable space would be

for the sake OF the gain in architectural

understanding and recognition of the fact
that the modern building which possesses
architectural beauty and dignity is pre-
ferred by prospective tenants to those
bald and cherries monstrosities whose
architects seem to have taken q perforat-

ROYALIST CHEERS HEARD,
Only Minor Disturbances Mar
Frances National Fete Dav.

PARIS, July 14.-Threats of the revo-
lutionary element to mar the national
fete with violence had failed up to noon.
The only incidents were minor disorders
by band of young royalists.
Republican guards occupied the princi-
pal centers and prevented the socialists
and the striking building workers from
marching to Sante prison and making a
demonstration on behalf of the freedom
Of their colleagues. who were imprisoned
for violence and anti-militarism.
The annual review Of the troops at
Longchamps was a magnificent spectacle.
Five hundred thousand persons saw
President Fallieres, with the diplomatic
corps and the picturesque Abyss nian
mission at his side. present the colors to
the regiments.
Dirigible balloons performed evolutions
above the military field. but the army
laeroplanes were not permitted to take
part in the maneuvers because of the
danger to soldiers on the grounds. AS
President Fallieres was returning to the
Elysee Palace a crowd Of royalists
shouted: Long live the king!' but
other spectators turned upon the disturb
ers and drove them from the streets.
Some blows were exchanged and the DO
lice made many arrests.

UNITED KINGDOM EXTENDS.
More Than 10000 Acres Gain in
Reclamation From Sea.
ecial Cableeram to The star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 1.-The fact that the
United Kingdom is growing In size yearly
instead Of shrinking is proved In the
final report Of the royal commission on
coast erosion, the reclamation OF tidal
lands and afforestation. which has now
been printed, and will be in the hands Of
members OF parliament today.
1t is estimated that during the last thir-
ty-ave years about 6.64O acres have been
lost by coast erosion, while 5000 acres
have been reclaimed from the sea. The
losses have been chiefly on the open coast,
and the gains almost entirely in the tidal
estuaries.
Erosion has been most serious on the
east coasts Of England and Ireland, and
would have been far more serious but
for extensive works carried out by local
authorities. From a national point of
view. the report states. the extent Of ero-
sion need not be considered alarming.
but in order to deal effectively with the
situation remedial measures are neces-
sary.
