PARIS |S GUARDED
 BY SPECIAL POLICE Police Dogs New Danger of
 Paris Nights WILL SELL CHATEAU Colonel Dickman Finds Nothing in Europe to Benefit American Cavalrymen--New Hot Air
 Balloon Is Patented

Paris, December 21.-The dangers of
 Paris at night have led to the organi-
 zation of a special night brigade of
 police independent. in some respects,
 of the regular force, but cooperating closely with 1t.
 The initiators. deputies, municipal councillors and members of trade or ganizations, have obtained the approval of the government and the prefect of police.
 This night auxiliary force will have a uniform Of its own, and will be armed with revo1vers and night sticks. Each man will have a police dog trained to pull down any one running. and to hold him until called off by the policeman These dogs, largely bred Tn Belgium, are 1.-the, strong animals, and are often a cross between the wolf and the Euro pean sheep dog.
 NJ Charles Herisson- -Laroche has just taken out patent for a hot air dirigi- ble balloon. in which the hot air is produced by a number of petroleum burners. The balloon is spherical and provided with vents which are opened a Spd shut from the car, and thus enable the apparatus to be guided. All that is peceSSary Is to open the valve on the side it is desired to go. "The air insid> s" explains the inventor. raised to a high temperature, will have a density greatly inferior to that of the atmosphere; consequently 1t will rush with for,te through the valve and thus establish a violent air current which, projected against the outer air of lesser density, VIII cause a vacuum; it will draw on thN dirigible just as an auto mobile attracts to itself the cyclist ped- aling behind it. The entire apparatus. made imporiderable by equilibrium, will thus progress without effort"
 It is a good deal of 8 risk for the night wayfarer in a Paris street to run for distant cab. He is likely to be startled by one of these swift animals darting out from dark corner and leaping for him, unless arrested by the sharp call of the policeman. The police dog, good many of which are now attached to the regular service Kas become, therefore, in itself a | new danger in the night life of the capi- tai.

or the advancfng noresman. So the Italian had to get down from his horse and shoot the Arab out or his hole.
 Asked to compare the famous Cos sack and the American cowboy Colonel Dickman continued:
 Both are daring and splendid riders. The great difference is that the cowboy has more intelligence than the CossacS, whose brilliant charges are founded on a system which, strangely enough, was introduced into Russia from abroad. Of course, the cowboy method has influenced in some ways the type of American cavalryman of today Yet even here there Is a difference. The cowboy covers per gate, and then takes a fresh horse for the morrow. Not so with cavalrymen in a campaign. He must carry his equip ment and he must husband his horse for the morrow. think we can say in general that the American eavaIryman is very efficient. We merely wish tosmake him more efficient by adapting anything from Europe that may seem adaptable to our system, our climate, our problems and our way of doing business
 The cavalry commission, subject to the approval of the war department, will experiment with some ideas that have been gathered abroad at one of the army posts, probably at San Antonio, Texas. The commission, after leaving France, concluded it's tour of Europe by two weeks with the English army It will probably return to Washington before the New Year.

Brown in the report made to Senator Robert ". Wagner. chairman of the commission, sI saw a S-year-old baby sit ting on a box shipping beans with a knife because his fingers had become tired from breaking the ends off and he found it easier to cut them.
 At Eden Center I saw a 6-year-old girl sound asleep in an upright position with an unstrung bean in her left hand ana her right hand in the position of being about to break the end off the bean pod"
 These mites are mostly used in handling the bean and corn crops. A baby big enough to sit upright and with strength enough in its tiny fingers to snip bean or tear the husks from ah ear of corn Is an industrial asset.

 "The American cavalrynan must be himself and just himself. He cannot be a composite of the typed cav alryman of Europe"
 Such Is the conclusion of Lieutenant Colonel Dickman of the United States army who has been touring Europe with fellow officers to study closely the European cavalry systems. Speaking of the grace of the French cavalryman. and pointing out now different the ltal- ian horseman is from anybody else in Europe. he said: "The cavalryman Is the development and the embodiment of the conditions surrounding him geographical territorial and physical.
