Building companies which compare some
what TO our building loan associations
recently organized IN Berlin for the ostensi-
BILE purpose Of building cheap houses for
working people" They then applied to the
government to start them in business by a
loan. Very naturally the government
promptly refused, as matter of principle,
ON the ground that there is sufficient capital
and public spirited enterprise in Berlin to
furnish funds for all desirable and necessary
purposes. Moreover. the government would
regard such. an experiment as setting a
dangerous precedent. There are points of
strong family resemblance between that
proposition and the sub-treasury scheme of
the farmers alliance.

Advances in wheat last summer, pro-
NOTED by Chicago spectators in anticipa-
ton of a short crop, are said to have caused
large diminution Of exports. In Septem-
Der the shipments of wheat from our prin-
cipal ports were only sos, $50 bushels, against
2, 223, l04 in the same month of 1889. In the
three months of the present crop year the
falling off aggregates 100000 bushels.
Flour still goes out from that port In large
quantities, but it is feared that when New
York's recent heavy importations-in an
ticipation of the tariff bill-are paid for,
Europe will want less and less Of our grain
and -four. We have a surplus of wheat in
this country Of which the future is uncer-
tain. Chicago holds it at from 81 05 to
81 06 per bushel-a price at which it is out
of the foreign market. 1t is to be feared
that the REIMBURSEMENT to the price at which
the foreigner will buy of us rather than
our competitors will be painful process
to all concerned, except, of course, the con.

Finally the chief impelling influence that
has prompted the reckless tests Of speed be-
tween the ocean racers Teutonic and City
of Now York, of rival liaes, has been
revealed by the extraordinary exertions put
forth in hurrying the mails OF the City of
New York from Queenstown to London.
Special channel boats and special trains
were run in order o get the mails to Lon
don inside Of seven days, but there were
vexatious delays, and the bulk of the mail
which was on board the City of New York
reached London some time after the mail
from the Teutonic, which arrived in time to
make connections. Not only is there rivalry
between these two vessels, the one that
makes the quickest voyage getting the bulk
of the mall but there is threatened rivalry
by the fast Southampton steamers, and the
vessels stopping at Queenstown have to
make good time across the Atlantic, and
also to use every exertion to hurry their
mails on to London, in order to retain a
lucrative share of the mail carrying. But
that is scarcely a sufficient pretext for jeop-
ardlzing hund eds of human lives.

Fair Luns's Photographed Features
Last week two brothers at the Paris OBJ
servatory took photograph Of the moon,
which was recently printed ia Nature. 1t
includes the central region Of the satellite,
aud in point of clearness almost totally
eclipSes, SO to speak, all former efforts at
Photographic delineation Of the lunar sur
face. Perfection of the object glass is largely
the cause Of the phenomenal success of this
attempt, but it is chiefly due to the greatly
augmented magnifying power secured by
the use Of a second magniier. which en-
larged the object fifteen diameters at the
first focus.
Typographical lIneamsnts OF the moon s
surface are thus brought into plain view
with degree Of distinctness that is truly
astonishing. Indications of former volcanic
activity are said TO be clearly shown in the
picture. But the traditional lone man is
nowhere to be seen.
Scientists conjecture that the above dis
turbance occurred before the moon became
cool or rigid, when the lunar tides excited
by the earth's attraction, and must have
been vastly more destructive than our high
est tides"
How feminine that sounds. There are
many men on earth. Excited by earth's
attraction; "a disturbance; tide of tears
followed by cooling off; then her face grows
rigid. At such time almost any man
would be likely to disappear. Fair Luna
must have been hysterical. Some pictures
recently taken by Prof. Holden at the Lick
observatory in San francisco are said to
portray upon the surface of tue moon par
allel walls only about 200 yards thick at
the top, aud not more than 1900 yards
apart.
If some Of these scientific photographers
could only manage to secure a good picture
of the glowing face of Mars thea we might
be able to formulate a more accurate opin-
ion concerning the navigable character of
its alleged seas and canals; and get some
definite idea Of its snow-tipped poles and
the housekeeping capacity of those gaunt
individuals who are said to be brandishing
railroad lanterns at US on dark nights.

Editor r. B. Davenport, who is said to
have caused the Harpers to stop the sale of
book by Capt. King on Indian campaign
ing because of an alleged malicious libel
against him, is wsll-known newspaper
man, formerly of the New York herald
and now editor Of the New Haven MorninQ
Ne,cs. His complaint Is reported to claim
that the alleged libel results from spleen
engendered against him in certain army
circles by his sharp and consistent criticism
of Gen. Crooks management of the Sioux
campaign of 1915, throughout which Mr..
Davenport acted as a special correspondent
Of the Herald. Mr.. Davenport's conduct
has never been questioned by anybody who
was with him under fire in an Indian fight.
Capt. King, it is said, was confessedly not
present at the scenes which in this instance
he undertakes to describe. 1t will make
rather an interesting fight in the courts.

UNPARALLELED NERVE.
A Utica N. w Woman Who Apparent
Is Made of Brass,

A Utica IN. w Woman Who Apparently
Is Made of Brass.
Yesterday morning lady walked into
an uptown doctors Office and asked
permission to use his telephone. The
gentlemanly physician acquiesced with
pleasure, but was somewhat astonished
to hear his visitor call up another doc
tors Office. She had some difficulty
with the telephone, and requested the
doctor to do the talking for her. First
she wanted him to tell his brother prac-
titioner, DR.. C., that she was sick
and that she would Immediately be
down to see him. ''Great Scott, :" ejacu-
lated the latter, don't send her down
here. She has hung up every doctor in
town. Tell her | have an urgent call
and won't be in again to-day. Send her
to DIR. B" In terms the most suave
the doctor told his visitor that DIR.
G. would be unable to see her,
but that she might do well to
see DIR. B. "But tell him
that it is serious and that must see
him." she said. The doctor made an
other effort, bGt he heard the man at
the other end of the line hanging up
his receiver in most desperate fashion.
The woman finally confided to him that
she guessed she would go up street and
see another Doctor c., who she was
sure would comfort her ills.
The doctor whose Office was thus in
vaded found it necessary to take a long
rest to recover from the shock which he
afterward said was given TO him by wit
Messing so severe and aggravated case
of NERVE" He subsequently found
that not long before the same patient
had gone into one DR.. is Office and
secured his services to telephone drug
store to see why the medicine pre-
scribed for her by DIR. B had not
been sent up.-Utiea IN. W Herald.
