The stock market to-day showed sctivity but
consid erable irregularity. though the general
list WAS heavy until the last hour, Opening ad-
yances alone prevented material declines. The
market WAS dominated principally by the as
euranoe that considerable gold would leave the
country Saturday. The situation in Paris, it is
thought. will have influence in both London
and New York markets. Influence, however,
was combatted effectually BY unusual ease in
money, The special features of to-day's market
was decided weakness in New England and
strength in Western Union and Richmond &
West Point. Industrial stocks were all strong,
especially in early dealings. and though they
yielded somewhat later, all closed materially
higher. Grangsrs, after late advances, were
dropping, being affected to some extent by the
fact that their net earnings we're generally dis
appointing. Coalers were heavy. especially

SENATOR Homes Abroad.

LONDON, Jan. Ex-senator Jones and
family started for Paris to-day. After a
visit to that city they will sail for America
on the Gascogne, Saturday. The senator
was visited while hers by numerous mem
bers Of tho house Of COMMONS and other
public men interested in the silver question.
The senator says he was greatly surprised at
the evident awakening in England to the
value Of bi-metallism. He believes that
the monetary conference will resume its
session in May and hopes 10 be abls TO re-
turn at that time. Owing to his position
as senator he was unable to accept invita-
tions to address meetings at commercial
centres in Great Britain.

TOO MANY CLASSIC SCHOLARS
The Sad Overproduction of InteIleciu-
aIities i'm Germany.
The Forum.


Germany suffers from an intellectual over
production. All professions are over
crowded. 1t was fondly believed up to our
days that the state had no more important
task than to render the acquiring of knowl-
edge as easy as possible, aud for that pur-
pose TO establish many higher schools. But
it was not asked whether there was room
enough for employing men when their edit
cation was finished.
Taking, for instance, the career OF law In
Prussia. we find that there are 1851 men
who have not only passed through the GYM
nasium and the university, but have already
served the state gratis for about FIVE years,
while the annual average demand is 100.
There are more than 1000 examined archi-
tects without fixed employment; it is the
same with engineers, teachers in classics,
mathematics. etc. These unemployed forces
are particularly attracted 10 the great
capitals. because every one hopes that
with the many chances they offer he will
fud q gap into which he may jump. Men
of university training are, almost without
exception, capable only of intellectual
work. Ii they do not succeed in the T
branch they cannot become tailors or car
penters, they must take to pettifogglBg,
giving lessons. copying. writing for inferior
papers, etc. There are lawyers, physicians,
doctors OF philosophy among those who are
regularly relieved by the Berlin Poor
Board.
All these men are, OF course. diScnntented
with the present state of things and ready
to join with those forces which hold out
hope OF overthrowing it, Nor are female
candidates wanting in this proletarlat; all
those who give cheap lessons, write medi-
OGRE novels for l0w-class journals, or work
for shops at starvation wages are swelling
the army of social revelation.

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.
How the Speed of the New Bancroft Is
to Be Treasured.

In the coming trial OF the new United
States cruiser Bancroft, at Newport, R. l.,
the speed Of that vessel will be officially
determined by means Of a Weaver speed
register This register is the invention Of
Assistant Engineer Weaver, recently OF The
United States navy, and is designed for the
purpose OF measuring both the time con-
sumed and the number of revolutions made
over trial course.
To obtain the required data there is a
band OF paper which passes over five mark
ing pens at a rate which can be varied be-
tween the limits Of one-halt and two and a
hall Inches per second. On this band is
printed the record Of revolutions made and
time consumed. Two Of the pens are cleo
trically CONNECTED with the port aud star
board shafts respectively, third pen With
a chronometer and the two remaining pens
with the range keys. The latter mark sim
uItaneousy on the margin Of the band.
AT each revolution Of a shaft a mark is
printed, as is also one at the end Of each
second, by the Thermometer pen. Upon
entering and leaving the range course the
marginal, pens make datum marks which
determine the limits between which the
time and revolutions are TO be measured.
The data Of the various runs can by this in
strument be carefully measured subsequent
TO the trials, and the paper band then pre-
served as a record.
1t is a noteworthy feature Of the appa-
Tatus that it will stand hard usage, and in
this respect it differs from the ordinary
chr0nograDhs This apparatus was sue
cessfuly used on the occasion of the launr h
of the Texas to determine the speed OF that
craft when passing down the ways,

MEN FIFTEEN INCHES HIGH.
What French Statistician Says Will
Be Seen on Earth in 1000 Years.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Philadelphia Times.
a French statisticidn, who has been
studying the military and other records with
view OF determining the height of men at
different periods, has reached some wonder
full results. He has net only solved some
perpexing problems in regard to the past of
the human race. but is also enabled to calcu-
late its future and 10 determine the exact
period when man will disappear from the
earth. TIE recorded facts extend over
nearly three centuries. 1t is found that in
1910 the average height of man in Europe
was LIS meters. or say fee. inches. In
1890 it was feet 6 inches. In 1920 il was
5 feet 5 inches and n traction At the
present timeit is 5 feet 334 inches. 1t is easy
TO deduce from these figures rate of regular
and gradual decline in human stature. and
then apply this, working backward and for
ward 20 the past and 10 the future. By this
calculation ii is determined that the stature
of the first men attained the surprising
average OF 10 feet inches.
Trnly. there were giants on the earth in
those days. The race had already deteri0r-
ated in the days OF OK and Goliath was a
quite degenerate offspring of the giants.
Coming down 10 later time we find that ct
the beginning OF our era the average height
OF man was 9 feet, and in the time of Charlie
imagine 1t was feet inches. But the most
astonishing result OF this scientific study
comes from the application of the same in
eXOrabe law Of dIminution to the future.
The calculation shows that by the year 1000
A. ID. the stature of the average man will
be reduced to 10 inches. At that epoch
there will be only Liliputians on the earth.
And the conclusion of the learned statisti-
clan is iIrressttble; that 1.-THE end Of the
world will certainly arrive, for the nha0-
itants win have become so small that they
skill finally disappear" by disap-
pearing" as the French idiom expresses it
''from the terrestrial globe"

ABANDONED MINING CAMPS.
A HowIing Wilderness Where Once
Were 10000 People.

Western mining camps yearly give strib-
ing evidences Of the rise and fall Of great
ness, but perhaps no more remarkable in
stance is at hand than that of the queer OLD
town of Pierce City. in idaho. It's eventful
his tory begins in 1850, when gold was dis
covered on Orc Elmo Creek. 4 year had
scarcely pessed after the discovery when 20,
COO restless souls were swarming along the
creek, ana the richness Of digging soon made
Orc FInO among the famous camps of the
golden West. Gold was so plentiful that il
seemed 10 lose its value, and men seemed
rather in quest Of the excitement a tending
the discovery Of new fields than Of the vel
low metal. They spent their dust with a
laVlshness never Witnessed before or since.
Two years later Boise Basin electrified the
civilized world with It's marvellous richness,
and with its rise began the decline of o. o
Elmo. Men with blankets on their backs
started over the hills to the new FL Dorado
But ORC Elmo and Pierce city remained
good camps for years. declining gradually
as the ground was worked.
IhiTty-tWO years have passed. Not
sign is left to indicate where once the
booming camp OF Orc Fino stood, while
Pierce City IS simply a relic Of what
was once the glory Of Idaho; a reminder TO
the young men Of the West who have
come upon the scene that while
thew were being rocked in the cradle in
them had seen the light Of day, a stern and
rugged class OF men-the nobest type Of
American manhOod-weTe climbing high
mountains. exploring deep gorges, blazing
trails, fighting savages and beasts, wrestling
the golden treasure from the mountains and
preparing the way for h0meseekers turning
westward from the crowded East. Pierce
City to-day stands on a little bench over
looking Orc Emo creek which winds through
the open canyon, so wide that 1t might be
called a valley. a row Of Lighthouses and
shacks made Of whipsawed lumber stands
on either side Of the single street. The
population consists Of SIX or seven white
men, about 100 Cinnamon aud four Chinese
women. 1t is in fact a Chinese town. The
oldest places are worked and revoked by
the MOngolians, who manage 10 make from
30 cents 10 81 day. There is some good
ground still held by white men, but there
No less than 100000 in gold has been
taken from the camp.
