(One of the Heroic Deeds Performed by New York's Policemen.) We feit that he was entitled to his promotion, and he got it. We did not know his politics, ner did we care about them. It was very unlikely that the woman whom he last saved, as he swam out towards her, felt any special inter- est as to whether he had voted for Cleveland or Harrison; nor did we, He had risked his life free!y again and again to the performance of his duty; ke had conducted himself so as to be a credit to the department, and a credit to the city; and we felt that Le was en- titled to his reward. It is worth while meationing that he kept’on saving life after he was pro- moted to a sergeantcy. On October 21, 1896, he again saved a man from drown- ing. It was at night. Nobody else was in the neighborhood, and the stip from which he jumped was in abso- Jute darkuess, and he was about ten minutes in the water, which was very cold. The captain of the preci reporting the case, said: “The serge: was off the bulkhead and into the wa- s man quicker than it takes obinson.’ * There was no way in which the board could reward him for this, except by telling him that he was an honor to the department; for he had been given all the medals, &nd bars to the meda's, that he could be given. It was the twenty-ninth per son whose life he had saved during his £3 years’ service in the department, and he was 55 years old when he saved him. 1 S65 The Production of Smoke. It is said that where no hydrecarbors exist smoke cannot be produced by ary fuel. Recent experiments made in the laboratories, of Sibley college showed from ten to twelve pounds of soot in the smoke generated by the consumption of a ton of coal. Of this soot, about one- half was carbon. the remainder princi- pally unconsumed bydrocarbous, ter to fifteen ver cent. ash, and, outside the furnace, perhaps two percent. of moist- ure. No smoke was produced in an at- mosphere of oxygen. Low temperature combustion and r ply appear to fav: The composition o same hat of the was produced.

In other quarters is said that Gen, Blanco is acefully disposed man, inclined to use mild mivthods, and it is declared that to com- pare him with Weyler is unfair, but these sume persons admit that when Blanco settles down to be brutal and merciless he can do it in the most ap- proved manner. 1n 1879 Blanco was commissioned eap- tain-general of Cuba. 17 was just after the suppression of the last revo- Intion, and Blanco announced that he would continue the mild policy of Cam- pos. But he did not keep promise. He spent the years intervening between the time he was reealled from Cuba in 1881 to the time in 1594 when he was sent to the Soutb seas in various posts in the Spanish army. His attempts to work certain judicial reforms and ad- ministrative changes in Cuba did not meet with the approval of the cabinet then in power in Madrid, and his light was hidden for a season. His experi- ence in the Philippines, while eruel, was not cruel enough for inquisitorial Spain, and he was replaced by Polavieja. who was mercilessness personified. For his services in the islands he was raised to the rank of marshal in 1895, and returned the compliment by re- porting to in the plot whereby the to escape the thrall- com of Spain. neo practically re- signed from the governorship cf the ug to his inability to devise 1s cruel enough to burn out the fire of rebe Such is the man who will take “Butcher” Weyler’s place in the devastated island of Cuba.
