NEW YORK. Feb. 10.
Railroad bonds we're still less active, the trad
ing reaching on 1927, OOO while the market was
dull. a few marked changes are to be noted
however, and Chesapeake and Ohio purchase
money lost at 11s1s
Stocks spened firm Notwithstanding the dem
onstration against Burlington by which it was
not only opened ne-haH lower, but forced off a
fraction further in the early dealings. The gen
eral list developed some strength upon the COW
erng of short sales Of yesterday, the Wizards
being among the usually active stocks and the
Susquehanna and Western among the inactive
shares, were prominent for strength. Dizziness
and stagnation, however, overspread the entire
list, even Burlington sharing in the general apa-
thy until afternoon when the rumor that more
gold had been ordered gave the signal for a fur
ther demon stration by the bears and the an
nouncement of the closing of the doors of the
American Loan and Trust company accelerated
the decline. There was, however, notable lack
of pressure of long stock upon the market and
while Burlington and Rock Island driven
down with apparent ease the general list re-
sponded to the losses in those shares Sby slight
decline only. The denial of the gold shipment
caused cessation of the pressure for time, but
it was renewed with Indifferent success when the
final announcement was made. There was some
attempt to cover shorts in the final dealings and
it may be said that the buying throughout the
day was principally from that source. The mar
ket finally closed dull and steady at about the
loves prices of the day, but generally within
slight fractions of last evenings figures.

The Work of the Snow.
[Charles Morris in the Popular Science Month


Snow has several curious methods of
extending the sphere of its hostile infu-
ence. The comparatively light SHOWS
which fall in our latitude are of minor i'm
portance, since they readily yield to the
early spring sunbeams. They are in some
degree beneficial to the fertile surface and
protective to its more tender annual
plants, while their only important adverse
effect is the dangerous flooding of the riv-
ers, due to their rapid melting. But the
deep and persistent SHOWS of northern re-
gions are far more exhaustive of solar
heat, and reduce the agricultural season of
those regions to a dangerously short peri
3D. In their melting, ais, the surface air
is chilled, and winds from the north con-
vey this chilled air far to the south, thus
spreading widely over the warmer zones
the frost inducing influence of the melting
SHOWS.
We have seen how the tropic heats are
carried toward the poles by winds and wa
tiers. The frigid cold is carried toward
the tropics by the same agencies-chilled
winds and cold ocean currents. It is car
ried by another agent of great Importance,
the direct creep of the snow itself toward
the lower latitudes. This agency has once
perhaps many unsupported an e1-
traordinaryeffect upon the surface of the
earth, one sar SURPRISING that of volcanic
explosions and lava outfows in its adverse
influence. At present this glacial action
is greatly reduced, but is still of much
Importance.
