EXPORTS AND TIE STOCK MARKET
Tuesday, Aug. ZIP. m


The exports Of breads uhs in July were OF the
total value of s7Ssl, 7o4, against sl5, 1929 IN
july. 1887 In the seven months of this year, to
July 81 the value was s57,537,272, against
slO04ls.O4s in the samc time OF sss-a differ
cncc of si2 $50 776 and yet the foreign exchange
market is weak and declining. This, showing
the large European absorption OF American Sc
curitcs accounts for the growing scarcity Of GER
tificatcs in the home market OF phantoms-con-
tracts yet to be covcrd-there is still large sup
ply.
To-day's stock market was dull and the temper
~ tho local sn,cu1ation was reactionary The
total transactions amounted only to ls0,69o
shares Il was carly understood that the-e was
to be an organized raid On values if dulness such
as yesterday permitted prospect OF success. Inc
events Of the day proved the report TO be true;
As a sequence there dropping market an
day. but not without some sharp reactions "hel
and whcr. the pressure was temporarily removed.
The feature Of the day is that although prices ere
marked oil about / per cont, ~" rald induced no
general selling of stocks Other than By tn raiders
themselves and probably a GOOD proportion o.
those sales were By matched orders. The whole
market now has had decline OF about peg cent
and its character leaves possible recovery sharp
or and more rapid than the reaction has been.
This mornings loan market developed short
interest that something increased by yester-
DAYS dealings. and To-day operations undoup'-

Paste Diamonds.

"The great majority OF people cannot
tell the difference between paste and
real diamonds at q ballroom" said q
we'll. known jeweler to o New York re-
porter, land there are more people who
wear paste than any one would think.
Once ! was the assistant of Q fashion
able jeweler in Washington. 1t was
then . common thing to loan out an
outfit Of paste to ladies who had not Sc
curity to give for real diamonds
"What did you charge for those paste
outfits 2" the reporter asked.
Generally about $25. Once . pretty
girl from one of the Western States
hired one of these paste sets from us
for . ball and captured the heart OF q
wealthy French Count--not WI of the
shady kind. but a real Count, rich IS Q
CrGsus, who was on q visit to this
country, and after . short courtship
they were engaged to be married.
HE obtained for her IN invitation to
the next official reception, for which we
lent her real diamonds and sent our de.
tectiye to watch them.
"When she came back with them she
said: %, ] wish You had given me real
diamonds like you did the first time.
These last were paste and any n could
see by their dullness that they were not
diamonds at ALL
II didn't say anything, but shortly
after when she obtained the loan Of an
outfit We gave her the paste set and she
came back highly pleased with the
change.
@In . few days she had no need IA
hire diamonds. Her lover bought her
plenty Of them"

Of wood. The wheels were frequently
taken on deck during bad weather; in

Fishing For q New Kind OF Bite.

The habits of a running spider Of south
ern Europe are curious. II makes a vertical
round hole in the ground abont ten inches
deep, and this, with a small earth wall
sometimes made round the mouth. is lined
with web. A little way down is a small
lateral hole. into which the spider shrinks
when an animal falls into the tube; when
the animal has reached the bottom the
spider pounces upon it. One can readily
tell hat a tube is tenanted by the bright
phosphorescent eyes of the s. ider turned
upward. In fight the spider erects itself on
its last pair of legs, striking with the others.
The bite is not fatal TO man, but it causes
large swell ngs. The children in Buchar-
est angle for these spiders by means of an
egg-like ball af kneaded yellow wax tied to
q thread. This is lowered with jerks into
the hole, and the spider fastens on it and
can be pulled out; whereupon another
thread is passed around one Of its legs,
and the animal is PLAYED with.

The Dangers Of Coal Mining.

This mine, while one of the largest,
was also one of the most dangerous in
the valley. In order to keep the work
ings supplied with pure air, in guam
tity sufficient to render harmless the
explosive gases released by opening
the coal-seams, an immense fan had
been constructed which, during every
minute that it was in action, drew forth
from the mine over 100000 cubic feet
of impure air. Even with this great
air-cnrrent, there were still very dam
gerous parts OF the mine, requiring the
utmost vigilance from the miners. To
hear Of some miner or laborer firing the
gas in his chamber and being burned
thereby, was . matter Of almost weekly
occurrence. In pits of this character,
where there is . plentiful air-current,
it is often a custom with miners to
fire" the gas in their working-places
before . quantity sufficient to render
it's combustion dangerous accumulatea.
When this is done, the gas will take
fire with a noise not unlike that made
in lighting o common g~as-jet. There
is such an excess Of air that the OK.
plosion Of the gas is very weak and
harmless. The fame. often three or
four feet deep. will travel along the
uneven roof, showing beautiful colors
varying from q deep, dark blue to q
brilliant crimson; and in it shine stars
Of dazzling white light, showing that
fine particles of coal-dust suspended in
the air are burning in the great heat Of
the gas. Sometimes this flame will
travel close up against the roof, slowly
to aud fro, several times, until all the
gas has been burned away.
When the fame dies out. the burnt
gases the "b'ack" or "after-damp." y
being heavier than the air, fall to the
Moor. SO the cool-miner is ever ex.
posed to two great dangers; the first.
that Of being burned; the second, that
of being s~uffocsted after he has escaped
the fire. Roy McIauiSh, in 81. Mich.
