PLAN FOR
POLICEMEN LIKELY
Harrisburg Cops May Be Provided
For in Old Age If Bill
Becomes Law

Adoption of a police beneht-pension
system similar to that under which
Erie's department is working may be
established in Harrisburg If the mu-
nicipal civil service bill is approved by
Governor B~rumbaugh.
While in this city yesterday attend
ing a session of the State armory
board. Mayor Lewis j. Stern. of Erie,
discussed with Mayor Royal the police
pension system in the Lake City, and
explained it's methods of organization
and operation. The Erie chief magis-
trate promised to send Mayor Royal
data on the subject.
IF the civil service bill becomes a
mirably worked out / think" said
Mayor Royal, "and 1 have asked Mayor
Stern to send me all the information
about 1t he may have. l think the
plan will be advocated for the police
men in Harrisburg, too, although I
can probably talk more intelligently
on that matter after I've secured the
necessary information from Mayor
Stern-and after the civil service bill
is approved by the Governor
Policemen Help Themselves
In discussing Fries system Mayor
Stern said that the policemen or
ganized the whole movement them
sew S oANC II may VI allu liz CllltI VI
police had offered some suggestions.
In brief the system provides for the
accumulation of a fund of at least
SIS, 600 before any pensions are paid.
The Erie "coppers" raised $4,000 alone
at a ball held for the purpose.
Each officer, l believe explained
Mayor Stern, pays in a certain sum
every week which goes to swell the
general fund. Pensions will be based
On tenure of service. Fol instance, a
man of a certain age who has been in
the service for twenty years will be
entitled to an amount equivalent to a
certain percentage of his salary; for
twenty-five years service, the pension
will be increased. Furthermore, the
pension fund pays death benefits of
$3.50.
In many communities, as one can
easily understand. many of the Off.
GERS would hesitate to pay in any
money toward a pension fund" con-
tinued. Mayor Stern, for the simple
reason that they have no assurance
that their jobs would last If the politi-
cal complexion of the city admins
tration should change. Under the
proposed civil service regulations all
this could be changed"

JUMPING ANIMALS.
Several Species of Fish Are Famed For
 Their Leaping Powers.

Several Species of Fish Arc Famed For
 Their Leaping Powers.
 Jumping as a means of locomotion is shared by variety of animals of widely different classes. Kangaroos and jerboas among the mammals. thrushes and robins among the birds, as well as such familiar forms as frogs, cookies. crickets and fleas-all illustrate this proneness to leap, most ly as means of getting quickly over the ground, and even lions and tigers. which never spring in ordinary cir cumstances. readily adopt this method of attacking their victims.
 A considerable number of fishes are remarkable for their leaping powers. and several of these performers are on that account specially favored by an glers, since by Jumping clear of the wa ter in some cases many times in sue cession they tax the f1sherman's skill more severely than fishes less active and therefore give added zest to their capture.
 Members of the salmon family are universally famous for their high jumps. The sea trout are untring ac robats, and fish of pound weight will more than once jump several times its own length out of the water when hooked before coming to the net At their best salmon can jump at least ten feet above the surface, a feat achieved by skipping the water with the powerful tail and tiexing the body until the head and tail all but meet.-Philadelphia Ledger.

FiIipinos and Chickens.

The fact that no Filipino of the com mon class regards himself equipped for living without at least one male chicken explains why the islands. although raising so many chickens, still import millions of dozens of eggs As in all cockfghting countries, the fighting bird u the Philippines is a personal pet which the owner carries about during practically every idle moment of the day and on which he lavishes enough care to raise many laying hens Duck eggs are rarely found in the market except as "balutes"-that is, eggs on the point of matching. boiled. form in which eggs are commonly eaten by the Filipinos They are sold for lunches at all railway stations and at other points where crowds gather.-Argonaut.

DEADLY SUBMARINES.

Menace of the Machines That Strike
 the Enemy In tho Dark.
 Submarines have many clements which make them dangerous menace, but there are also many weaknesses which partially offset their offensive qualities. Travelling under water. they are invisible from ships except as the periscope is shot above the surface to reconnoiter. But they are quite easily seen from air craft, even when ma neuvering at a great depth. They are unattackable by gunf1re, except when they come to the surface, when their frail structure makes them particularly liable to sudden destruction. As they cannot be seen, they cannot be at tackled by torpedoes from the ships they are after. but if the periscope comes up and the submarine is thus located she is liable to gunfire and tor pedo attack and to being rammed or run down.
 The limited view from the periscope due to it's restricted elevation above the water surface, makes 1t almost hope less to attempt an attack in darkness But the little vessel can travel long distances at night and be ready at break of dawn to spread destruction broadcast. The submarine can easily avoid blockading fleet by passing be- meath it. As its motions cannot be fol lowed with the eye, the submarine pos sesses to an unusual degree the essen tial elements for delivering 6 surprise attack.
 One of the chief means of dodging submarines is to keep continually on the move, changing direction frequent Iy and keeping sharp lookout for the spying periscope.-Leslie's.

NERVE IN GOLF.

Vardon's Shot That Won Match That
 Was Considered Lost.
 In the American Magazine Jerome D. Travers writes on Vardon. whom he calls the greatest golfer. One year Var don played over hundred grilling matches over the longest and toughest British courses and averaged "A for the season. In the following extract Tray. CTS describes what he considers Var don's best shot:
 Except with the butter there seems to be no shot in golf beyond Vardon's magic. l will explain with one striking example just what ] mean: In one of his championship battles he had come to the seventeenth hole at tie with one of his rivals for the top. His drive here travelled a trifle farther than he had calculated and found deep rut in u road crossing the course. His oppo nent, playing first, was nicely on the green in two for sure four. It seemed that vardon was beaten to a certainty His ball was six inches below the top of the ground in a deep. narrow rut And the green was 14O yards away.
 "vardon took out heavy nibick and. in place of playing to one side to be sure to get out, took his stance in the direction of the pin and brought his club down with terrific force. To the wonder of the big gallery. the ball rose almost straight in the air and then with the forward spin imparted. sailed on to within ten feet of the cup. The other man got his four. but Vardon got his three. winning match that had been practically lost"

A Sample of How cIeverIy They Arc
 Mixed In France.
 Politicians of the United States are supposed to be gifted above those of all other countries in the art of self ad vertisement, but it is doubtful whether any of our politicians are more adroit in this respect than certain French men. Witness. for example. the follow ing announcement published in the newspapers of Paris:
 "GENERAL ELECTION.
 ITO the Electors of the Steenth Ar. rondissement, City of Paris: The un. dersigned appreciates the f]attering de- sire of many of bis fellow citizens that he should represent this, arrondisse- ment in the chamber of deputies. AL ways proud to feel himself in accord with his fellow citizens, he Is con. faithfully and that his nomination would be equivalent to an election.
 Fully approaching this fact and thanking the citizens of the Steenth ar rondissement for their confidence so generously bestowed. he begs leave. nevertheless. to announce that the great increase in his business as dealer in hats at 1000 Rue de Mar. seilles fully occupies his time and at tention and that his service to the, pub. lie at this well known establishment will unfortunately prevent him from accepting the responsibilities of dep uty.
