ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
NO. u.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-One Of the i'm.
pressions / got in looking over the now
abandoned Worlds fair grounds was
the thought that here Chicago had
taken possession of many thousand
acres Of land on short notice, and
spent twenty millions Of dollars for
pleasure-to advertise the city-and IT
Is today the best ADVERTISED and best
known city In the world.
Now all is chaos and ruin except the
art building. What a mighty effort for
bombast and amusement! OF course,
there are educational and esthetical
values flowing from the Columbian
Exposition Of incalculable value. The
dominant thought is however, that all
that vast expenditure and the carrying
Of millions 10 and fro gave employment
TO much labor. No doubt but that IA
war would have come sooner bat for
the work here supplied.
Now, the thought IL why shall
thousands Of acres aud twenty millions
not be at command for some useful pur.
pose, as well as for pleasure? If ten
thousand acres could be laid of In for
estry here In this prairie state Of Illinois,
II would not only give employment to
thousands Of persons now, but for all
time Ia the future, but II would benefit
the state and prove a source Of wealth
Iree-planting on large scale, under
proper state control would crowd no
other Industry, would benefit the
climate aud take up surplus labor
Forestry employs millions of labOrefs
and is source Of great revenue IN
Europe, aud We have come 10 the p.inl
where We must Invent labor as we'll a.
lsborsaying machinery, We have
been ezpending all our resources on tho

day was Lifeless.
 New York, Dec. 1.-The trading at the stock exchange was lifeless to-day. Of the total sales Sugar figured for 4l,- 600 shares and Chicago Gas for 20,7Oo shares but no other stock on the list was traded in to the extent of 5000 shares. The opening was very irregu- lar, with the tendency downward, be- cause of the engagements of $1,75o, 900 gold for export to Europe tomorrow. It was said at one time that $2,200, 900 gold had been withdrawn from the sub treasury to-day, but officials after the close of business gave the amount at $2,000,000.
 Chicago Gas was especially weak and fell to 69s. The rumors of reduction in the dividend and big floating debt were again revived and again denied. Bids of 1B per cent. were made for the dividend on small blocks of the stock, and the president of the company was quoted as saying that the concern had not dollar of floating indebtedness and had a good balance in bank. Su- gar was heavy in the early dealings, falling to 911a, but quickly rallied to 93$Q92ts.
 The decline in the railway list was confined to the fractions, Northwest and Burlington and Quincy, which made the greatest losses, having sold down only % per cent. each. In the after noon trading a firmer tone prevailed, posted rates of sterling exchange hav- ing been reduced one-half cent, to $4.SS1s and s4.S9k. The market left off steady in tone. Net changes show loss es of 1s to % per cent. Sugar gained 4, St. Paul A, Distillers %. New Eng land k and Reading B. In the inactive list Lake Shore fell 1h, to 1864.
 The bond market was lower. Sales were $1,34O,0OO.

 not by establishing communal work
 shops, but by forming themselves into free associations, labor groups-spin ming, weaving, building, shoemaking groups, etc.
 The author sets himself to determine how many hours a day man must work to secure for his family a com- fortable house, and all necessary food and clothing. Afeter many elaborate calculations = calculations though, which he admits are only approximate he arrives at the conclusion that, by working sixty half days a man could earn for himself, his wife and three children, enough bread, beef, vegeta- bles, and even expensive frtit, for a year. By working thirty or for ty half-days he would secure 8 com fortable dwelling; and by fifty half days more. sufficient clothing" The prince suggests, therefore. that the in- habftants of the Commune collectively should enter into sort, of contract with the inhabitants individually. They should say to each, of them: We are ready to guarantee to you the en- joyment of our schools. shops, streets, means of transport. schools. museums. etc., i, on condition that. from twenty to forty-five or fifty years Of age, you will devote four or five hours day to some work recognized as necessary for life.

-'Ths We'll of Serpents."

There is horseshoe-shaped mount ain up in Manitoba which literally swarms with snakes twice every year.
 Tn the early fall these slippery custom CTS gather here from all directions, mostly from the prairie country to the south. In one side of the mountain there is a circular hole, about fifteen rect deep, and as smooth as If it had been fashioned with a we'll auger,
 where tens of thousands of reptiles gather to spend the cold winter months. Persons who have tried to explore this immense snake den during 'he summer, when the regular tenants were absent, say that dozens of subter- ianean passages lead out under the mountains in all directions from the
