Hay, whether in NOW or stack, differs
so much in weight, compared with its
bulk, that no rule can be given that will
determine thenumber Of tons with much
accuracy by measurement. For example
it is variOusly estimated to require from
400 to 700 cubic feet for Il ton, according
to the kind of grass and the time sinceit
was packed away. The solid contents Of
the body Of hay are first found in cubic
feet by arithmetical rules Of measure
ment, which are then divided by the
number supposed TO be required for a
ton. To find the cubic feet in NOW
multiply the length, width and depth to-
gether. To find the cubic feet in con
ical stack multiply the area Of the base
by one-third the perpendicular height
Another rule sometimes given Is for long
or square stacks; to multiply the length
in yards by the width in yards and then
by half the height in yards, and divide
by l5 For circular stacks, multiply the
square of the circumference in yards by
four times the height in yards and divide
by 100, the quotient by IS. In these cases
fifteen cubic yards of well settled hay
are supposed to make ton

The Aerial Navigation Problem.

An indianapolis boy has probably solved
the aerial navigation problem. His name
is Walter Mercer. His airship, when com
plete, viii be in the form Of a cylinder, the
ends being cone shaped. Its entire length
will be twenty feet, each conical end
being five feet long and the cabin ten feet.
It VIII be made Of aluminium, the lightest
and strongest metal in the world, and Will
fly not less than iifty-five miles an hour,
and as much faster as the operator may
desire From the cones aluminium shaft
ing, running to the vertical steam engine Of
three horse power IN the cabin, win extend
two feet at each end.
On each shaft win be three propellers,
having 10, 6k and foot sweeps respective
ly. They viii all be one foot wide, fashioned
not unlike a boat oar, and viii revolve $50
times per minute The blades can be regu-
lated to increase or decrease the rate Of
speed that may be desired before the start
Is made. The journals on the shafting
viii form the ends Of the cones. The rails

lers, four on each side and one on each end,
which win revolve at about the same rate

Chnnre of FIftY Years.

The tardy justice done to women in
the passing Of the yOmeE'c property as
in England and America was the direct
outgrowth of the wages system The
fact that woman had no right in her
earnings. inherited property, or even III
her personal belongings, until recent
years, took away all stimulus to active
money making effort. Driven to it by
the failure of husband or father to pro
vide for her wants, she could not hold
any possession from the grasp of the
selfish. cruel, tyrannical or degraded
male relative who possessed legal power
over her. The change in these serflike
conditions has all occurred within the
past fifty years, and it is marvellous. -

The stock Market Opens Weak-Un-
Ing Industriously CircuIated-Gen-
eral Dullaess Characterizes the
Dealings in the Afternoon-The
Closing Figures Lower-RatIroad
Bonds Firmer.
NEW YORK, Dec. So.
The stock market was weak this morning with
trading limited to half dozen stocks. The
principal feature was Reading. The bears ham,
mered this stock with vigor at times and forced
considerable liquidation. Unfavorable reports
concer ming the financial standing of the company
were circulated. By midday Reading was down
1H per cent. on last evenings figures. The next
most active speculstives were: Whisky Trust,
Missouri Pacific and Sugar Trust. The remainder
of the list was almost stagnant. At noon prices
were fractionally lower than the closing figures
of yesterday. The market was dull in the last
dealings and time was devoted to playing pranks
on one another. Most of the little trading was
done in Reading, which continued throughout.
The representatives of the controlling interest
denied the reports that the company was in
financial straits and declared that full interest in
cash would be paid on all income bonds and that
no bonds would be issued to provide cash for the
payment of said interest. A report was circu-
lated that President Mcleod would not be re-
elt cted at the coming annual meeting and would
thereafter devote himself to the management of
the Boston and Maine. The bears kept up a
desuitory hammering of the general list during
the afternoon and prices in most instances gave
way only fractionaliy. The closing figures were
generally II to per cent. lower than the closing
Of yesterday.
Railroad bonds were fl mer. The gales were

The gift is made in memory of the late
General Charles T. Hillysr, father of the

The C,urant says: It Is too early to
state in detail just how far the association
will 20 in the extension of its work along
the line of this new and significant de-
parture. It can, however, be said that
particular attention can now be given to
instruction in mechanical, architectural
and free hand drawing, as being essential
in, and the basis of all work, whether that
of the mechanical arts or of applied design.
The first two years. work along the above
lines and in carpentry, wood turning and
wood carving, will probably be all that
will be attempted. This memorial gift as

Hartford has long needed. AS the work
develops 1t will be apparent to all thai
