The undertone of speculation nrm throughout the heavfness of Sugar hay Ing had no influence. London started the up ward movement ed the general railway Ii st by taking moderate amounts of its specia llies Local bulls were encouraged by the position assnmed by the foreigners, and especia lily as the Juna statements of the Louisville and Nashville, Missouri Pacific, St. Paul. Can ian Pacific and Rock Island were anything but fa- yorable. For the peried named the loss on gross earnings by the Louisville and Nashville was $lS2 400. and that of the St. Paul $421,- 900. Strike news fell flat, neither home nor foreign operators having paid any attention to the deyelopments at the west; that is, so Tar as the market Is concerned. St Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Burlington and Quincy, Big Four and Richmond Terminal were most prominent The last named was more active at higher range on account of the progress made m the reorganization of the system.

CURIOUS FACT.
Discovered by an Artist Regarding
Sleeping Persons.

1T is a curious thing" said tn"
artist, but when you begin to study
anybody or anything asleep they or
it will wake up at once" He was
trying to catch a very pretty girl on
the Long Branch boat She WAS re-
clining gracefully on her right hand,
the elbow which served for that hand
being supported by guard rail,
and, contrary to the custom of pref
tv girls in general. looked really
prettier asleep than when awake.
But just as soon as the artistic eye
had settled down to this fact. and the
artistic pencil had begun to reduce
it to paper, she began to get restless
and fidgety, and shortly afterwards
walked up.
Il have tried it on animals" he
continued, ''and it is the same. We
have a pretty cat at our house. and
sometimes when she curlS herself up
into grace full and unusual attitudes |

is made she begins to yaWn and

her profile, or back hair, or the rake
Of her bonnet, woman will begin
to squirm, to turn this way and that
until she finally singles you out. She
will do this without the slightest idea
of what you are doing.
All of which reminds me that
almost any man of strong will can
by intense thought and exercise of

her head and finally single him out

OXYGEN ON SUBMARINE BOATS,

Oxygen is likely to play an impor-
tant part in the submarine boat soon
to be built for the navy. 1t has
been found that comparatively
small quantity of oxygen from time to
time admitted to submarine chamber
will keep the air of such a chamber
for hours in the condition to sustain
human life Instead, then, of carry
ing large volumes of compressed air
in many heavy metallic receivers, a
single receiver filed with oxygen may
be carried. This makes possible an
important economy Of weight and
