Small Salaries.
Tb (ollowlDg information refers to
cities of the approximate population
of 235000 that being the population
.of the city In the United Statea
'whence the Inquiry came as to the
salaries of mayors In the cities of
the United Klndoro:
The English city nearest In popula
tion to the foregoing number as rar
as my Investigation went. Is Newcas
tle the mayor of which receives 12
600 per annum. Additional remunera-
tion Is sometimes given to cover ex
penses on exceptional occasions.
There Is also an annual allowance of
1750 for horses and carriages.
The population of Dublin (In each
Instance I am following the Urltlaa
census of 1901) Is 290000. The lord
mayor of Dub 11 a for some time re
ceived about 111000 a year but In
November 1910 this salary was re
duced to about 111000 a year.
Bradford with a population of
280000 makes no allowance to Its
lord mayor. On exceptional occasions
appropriations are made but no por-
tion of the n d rue Is ever used personal
ly by the lord mayor.
Bristol with a population of 328008
allows Its mayor $5000 annually and
$600 toward defraying-the expenses
of a private secretary. The cost of
the upkeep of the municipal coach
men's wages and livery are defrayed
directly out of the public funds.
Edinburgh having a population of
313000 allows its lord provost cor
responding to a lord mayor of an ling
lien city the sum of $5000 a year.
Sheffield with 30000 people allows
nothing whatever to Its chief muncl
pal executive. A special committee
has recently been appointed to ex
amine Into this question and to re-
port as to the desirability of provid
ing some remuneration.
Leeds with a population of 429.000;
Belfast with 348000 and Hull with
193000 make no allowance for the re
muneration of their mayors or lord
mayors as the case may be. In Hull
however at the time of the coronation
of Edward VII. an allowance was
made to the lord mayor of $10000.
United States Consul General Lon-
don. New Metal for Armor-Plate.
A series of tests have recently ta-
ken place with a metal which it has
been discovered possesses qualities of
great resistance against the penetra-
tion of super-caliber projectiles and
fays the London Standard Its first
practical use has been offered to the
British admiralty. If the result of
the experiments that have been made
prove satisfactory and the admiralty
decide to employ the metal on the
armor plating of their warships it
will mean that the thickness of the
armor will be reduced with a con
sequent lessened displacement In the
vessels. The metal Is known as
molybdenum and It is used to alloy
with nickel In steel. Experiments have
been carried out on government firing
grounds under official supervision and
it Is stated that the process has prov-
ed to bo superior by IS or 20 per cent
to the recognised armor plate stand-
ard. The metal Is found In small quan-
tities In Canada South Africa Nor
way and Sweden and the pure speci-
mens are worth about $1.75 a pound.
It has wonderful hardening qualities
when treated with nickel and the re-
sults of the trial to which It Is being
subjected is awaited with considerable
Interest by the engineering world.
Just Putting Him Wise.
A tall thin mnu stood on the deck
of a battleship and watched the tar-
get practice Just outside of the mouth
of Chesapeake nay one morning last
April. Near the tall man who was
dressed In civilian clothes stood a
young ensign In natty uniform his
chest stuck Into the foreground like
that of a pouter pigeon. Knslgus as
a rule feel Indescribable contempt for
civilians civilian clothes and civilian
brains.
There was the heavy boom ot a dis-
charge from one of the other battle-
ships and a shell going wide or the
target kicked up a cloud of toam far
out to sea.
. 'That shell" remarked the civilian
"fell far to the loft."
"The hell It did!" contradicted the
ensign and continued to gaze toward
the horizon.
' The tall thin man regarded his
companion In silent amusement for a
few moments and then remarked:
"I suppose I'd better Introduce my-
self rm the secretary of the navy."
Whereupon the ensign remember-
ed the naval regulations against pro-
fanity and lost his appetite for three
days. Popular Magazine.
Bird Chokes a Horse.
While In pasture at Seymour Conn..
a horse owned by George Miller a
Jfarmer here was choked to death by
a swallow. The bird in blind flight
swept Into the animal's mouth mo-
mentarily opened for an apple on an
overhanging branch. The horse tore
frantically about for several minutes
vaulted a fence and was dead whn
reached by William Owens a farm-
hand fho witnessed the Incident The
bird lso dead was found wedged In
the horse's windpipe.
An Advantage.
"The automobile presents another
advantage over the horse" said Mr.
Cbuggtns thoughtfully "that people
do not commonly appreciate."
"What Is that?"
"When a motor car plays out It
Koes to the Junk pile. Nobody thinks
of chopping it up and trying to export
it as beef."
