New York, June 6.-R. G.. Dun & Co =
weekly review: The tone of commercial re.
ports from various parts of the country in
dictate that business has TO some extent i'm.
proved Collections throughout the country
are better. and excepting the bursting of a
speculative corner at Chicago there has
been no especial excitement of any kind I'm
business, The fictitious price established
for corn at Chicago lasted just long enough
to bring into that market enough OF the
actual grain to bury the spectators, and
the corner broke with great losses, not
merely TO the operators, but also TO the
brokers. Wheat has declined half cent
the western receipts being unusually large
though the exports from the eastern ports
have also been quite large. Oats arc a
shade lower, pork products unchanged, and
oil little lower. The stock of cotton in
the country continues far beyond the rec.
ord of years, and there is every reason &c
believe that even u great reduction in ne
yield will scarcely reduce the aggregate
supply for the year below the quantity
usually required for consumption. The
business failures occurring throughout the
country during the last seven days number
207. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures were 224.

The processes by which nature forms
aceumuiations of silver are very inter
esting. 1t must be remembered that
the earth's crust Is full Of water, winch
psreolases everywhere through the
rocks, making solutions of elements OBJ
tanned from them These chemical So
lutions tsxe up small particles Of the
precious metal which they find scattered
hero and there. Sometimes the solu-
tons in question are hot, the water hav-
Ing got SO far down as To be set boiling
BY the internal heat of the globe. Then
they rush upward. picking up the bits
Of metal as they go. Naturally. heat
assists the performance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus formed,
perpetually flowing hither and thither
below ground. pass through cracks or
cavities in the rocks, where they de-
posit their loads of silver. This is kept
up for great length Of time, perhaps
thousands of years, until the assure or
pocket Is filed up. Crannies permeat-
ing the stony mass in every direction
may become filed with the metal, or
occasionally chamber may be stored
full Of 1t, as If myriad hands were
fetching the treasure from all sides and
hiding away future bonanza for some
lucky prospector to discover in another
age.

TALKING HEADS OF BRASS.


oB1ngs Crsafions Of Old-Time Wizards
and Msgicians.
Upon the authority Of several pas
sagos in history we are lead to believe
that famous wizards, magicians and
astrologers have constructed not less
than six brazcn, human-shaped heads
that possessed all the faculties Of
speech. The first of these was the work
of Monk Gerbert, who afterward be-
came pope with the title of Sylvester IL.
The head IL said to have predicted that
Gerbert would be pope and that he
would not die until he had said mass in
Jerusalem. After the first part of the
prophecy had been fulfilled and he had
placed the papL tiara upon his head he
resolved To live forever by steering
clear Of jerusalem While saying mass
one day in a small church In suburb
of Rome Sylvester was taken with .
sudden rigor. Knowing that his end
was near. he asked the rector II the
church had any special name. Being
informed that 1t was popularity called
Jerusalem" he closed his eyes and died
within an hour.
The second "brazen speaking head"
was made by one Robert Grosseteste,
an italian bishop who resided in Eng
land between the years IT'S and 1928.
The third IL said To have been the re-
suit of thirty years labor on the part
Of the astrologcr. Albertus Magnus,
who was born in the year 1905.
Friar Bacon. who died in 1904, is given
Che credit Of having made a head Of
brass which constantly repeated the
words: Thine comes, times here, times
past" The marquis of vilena-13s4-
fs34-also made a speaking head Of
sheet brass A Polish disciple Of Es-
eosello made the sixth and last men
toned Of the famous talking heads Of

three years. His body is virtually re-
made from food. To retard this max

loses so much vitality In the delayed
process that 1t takes long time to re-
cuperate. The process of making

Brandreth's Pills that new man, as it
were, may be made In two or three
months. and the change in the
mechanism is such that the worn out
part is replaced by the new without
