CHICAGO, July 15.-All the snap in the mar

swelterlng local weather. An early advance
OF 1sc in wheat disappeared almost entirely
before evening. Corn shows loss of sac
compared with last night. Provisions are
7l2c lower all around
business i'll wheat was light The market
opened about 1sGssc higher and soon went
up 12@ssc more, then gradually fell away,
closing H@ssc over last nights figures. The
advance was continuation of the frmness
developed Yesterday aud helped along by the
hrm and higher cables, together with re-
ported improvement in demand for cash
wheat. There was an impression also that
the crop of winter wheat has been oyeres-
timated
The advance induced some realizing. st.
Louis and parties in the Northwest were re-
ported as sellers. and there was also some
seillng on New York account. Receipts at
Minneapolis. Duluth. Chicago and Toledo
were regarded by the bulsGs little too lib
efai Partridge. through brokers, is credited
with having picked up a tidy amount of
wheat today.
Corn Was heavy on reports OF rain where
most needed. The Atchison and Burlington
roads made rather faltering reports on the
growing crop.
The oat traders experienced the dullest
oay OF the week. The market followed corn
and closed from Ac TO ssc under last nights
prices.
he provision market opened dull, but
steady. at slight decline compared with
yesterdays closing prices. The business did
not assume activity at any time during the
session. but the crowd Kept a close watch
upon the parties who have the credit of
holding control for the moment When

sellers also TO some extent, with John Cuda-

Ex-Gov. Booth, OF California, Dies
Suddenly

SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 15.- The
death of ex-Gov. Newton Booth last
evening was very sudden. He had
been suffering for some time from can
Ger of the tongue, but his general
health was good. Last evening he was
at home conyersing with friends when
he was suddenly seized with hemorr-
hage. The flow of blood frightened
him and threw him into spasm. The
ligaments of the tongue gave way and
that organ fell back into the throat,
causing death in few minutes.

Buls Making Rugs.

At Ahmedabad, India, I visited the
factory where Persian rugs are made,
writes DR.. Alice B. Stockham in the
Kindergarten. All the weaving, most
marvellous IN colors and patterns, is
done by boys under ten years of age,
over two hundred being employed. A
cotton web the size of the rug desired is
stretched perpendicular, an older boy
lies on the floor behind this web and
calls off the colors and number of stitches
from design printed in colors and he is
responsible for perfection of copy. The
small boys, many not over six years, sit
in front of the web, hold snarl of col
ors in their lap. They sit as close to-
gether as possible, and repeat the call of
the pattern boy, then very nimb'y tie in
the color with sort of halter-knot, then
cut off the ends with knife resembling
the blade of a chopping knife put into
thin handle. After going across the
web, the thread or knot is pushed with
an instrument that has saw-teeth like
carpet stretcher. The deftness and ac-
curacy of these boys issimply marvellous.
They work ten hours day and receive
from ST. 90 to $3.50 per month. They
seem happy and interested in their work.
A bright native overseer, although stam-
mering somewhat, spoke "well' English.
In reply to question he said the. boys
pever went to school, did not desire
to, and the parents did not wish them
to. What can they do when they get
beyond the age for the weaving2" l
asked. He simply said, II do not
know" I suggested that some employ
ers arranged Tor hours to be devoted to
education, and predicted that with the
same energy and tact that had established
this factory, they might yet find it to
their interest to give the boys the a'lvan'
tage OF some little education. The only
answer was silence that was more sug-
gestive of the impossible than spoken
word.
At Agru small boys we're doing ine
work iu marble, making exquisite im1ta-
tons of the marvellous ornamentations
on the Tai and o,her structures in that
wonderful city. have some specimens
showing not only the deftness OF the
boys, but the perfect manner in which
flowers are initiated IN marble colored
stones being inlaid to represent form and
color in perfection. Boston Transcript

Senses of Owls.

The hearing of all 81 ecies of owls
known to me is marvelously keen; 80
keen, in fact that I know OF no way OF
testing it, since it is so much more acute
than that of man. If owls have the
sense of smell, am unable to find salts
factory evidence of it. I have tried va
rious experiments with them, hoping to
prove that they could smell, but the re-
suits are all negative. They dislike pu-
trid meat, but they bite it to ascertain
its condition. They will not eat toads
or frog, which yield an unpleasant odoI
but they did not reject these species un-
til they had tested them by tasting.
They may be ever so hungry, yet they
do not suspect the presence of food if 1t

A Novel Bridge.

The problem of obtaining sufficient
road communication across streams run
ming through large cities without serl-
ously interfering with the shipping in
terests is one which has always per-
picked engineers and city authorities.
A great many solutions of this problem
have Leen made with various degrees OF
merit.
The illustration here given shows the
manner in which the problem is being
solved by English engineers regarding
the crossing of the river Thames in Lon
don. The cut represents a bridge
which is to cross the Thames near the
Tower of London, and is to be
known as the Tower Bridge.
The illustration shows the bridge
open. The draw or opening span
consists Of two leaves each weighing
$50 tons, which are counterbalanced in
such manner as to make them easy to
handle. These leaves when let down
come on level with the main roadway
of the bridge, which is thirty feet above
high water. One hundred feet above
this bride level and 130 feet above high
water is another span or roadway to be
used by foot passengers when the lower
span is open. This upper roadwayis ac-
cessible by elevators, which are placed
