them, and they do not understand how
commodities change hands with such
lightning rapidiiy, and how hundreds Of

hardly finished speaking before another
ON the opposite side yells "Sold. Il" The
trade is put down ON the trading card,
and the transaction, which involves over
$50, 600, has been completed.
The number Of bushels offered for sale
is indicated by holding up one finger for
each 5000 bushels. so in selling 30. 900
bushels the broker simply holds up both
hands and waves them from him, which
explains itself as wanting TO dispose Of
the lot. In addition TO this, brokers
have "a complete finger code by which
the condition Of the market is commu-
nicated. The signs generally used are
as follows:
Tho first finger held up stands for
one-eighth Of cent, m the traders all
know the main price. II, for instance,
the first sale of wheat after the market
opened was made at 60 cents and the
next at COZ cents, the trader simply
holds up one finger for the advance Of
one-eighth Of cent The upward posi-
tion Of the finger is to show the upward
course Of the market. Should the market
be bearish and the price decline to 595S
cents, the signal for this would be a
closed hand. with the thumb pointing

The building has folding benches which will seat about 800 people. Everything used in the erection of the building ia turned to some good account. Even the derrick, on which the frame and sides are raised, is afterward turned into rostrum for the speaker.

Measuring Facts Y ,uchcd For by Eminent
 Bug Sharps.


 The bureau of entomology has been col lecting some interesting information late ly about scorpions, centipeds and taran- tulas. Respecting these creatures all sorts of nonsenslcal beliefs arc prevalent, and travellers who have visited tropical regions disagree as to tho effects of their bites. That the poison of any. one of the threo is apt to be deadly has often been asserted. The question derives particular impor tance from tho fact that the animals are constantly imported into this country in punches of bananas and among other fruits from lower attitudes.
 Tarantulns arc simply big spiders of tho skind that build houses with trapdoors Their bite is very severe and painful tho scar lasting for a long time; but, though 1t produces yiolont inflammation for a 'tshort time, it is not dangerous to life Such, at all events, is tho belief of Pro- lessor c. V. Riley, In regard to the cen- ,tiped Professor Riley says that it's bite in warm climates Is sometimes excessively virulent and painful, though at other times, oddly enough, the poison causes little inconvenience.- That it is ever fatal is not believed
 Scorpion stings arc very painful indeed. They arc dangerous in proportion to tho size of the animal its age and the state of irritation in which 1t may be. Tempera- ture also has an influence upon tho venom It may be that the sting is occasionally followed by death, but such cases must be very rare. There Is no doubt that the sting of certain species commonly found in South America causes fever, numbness in various parts of the body, tumorss on the tongue and dimness of sight. These symptoms last from 24 to 48 hours. The effects produced diminish in violence with repetition, so that person who has been stung many times may become actually proof against the poison.
 Some scorpions are much worse than others Tho rather small, slender, pale colored kinds haye tho worst reputation.s In warm attitudes certain places arc near ly free from scorpions, while others are overrun by them, for reasons not well un- derstood They are extraordinarily nu- merous in valley in the Tierra Tenplada turn over a stone without finding threo or four small and wicked scorpions of pale color beneath it.
 It is a common belief that the legs of the centiped are poisonous, and that they will leave trail that burns like fire if the animal runs over the bare flesh. This is wholly a mistake. The creature is nat urally timid and will not even try to bite if it can get away. The poison causes a good deal of pain, with fever and distress of the head. Centipeds are fond of yer min infested beds, and in tropical ooun- tries beds arc very apt to be so infested.-- Washington Star

The Thaw Hose.

Frozen fire plugs are the terror of the f1remon on cold days and nights. They constitute serious obstacle right at tho time when all are anxious to get to work on tho burning building, and in case of a bad fire are often responsible for great loss. The moment fire engine reaches its position at fire during zero weather what is known as a thawing hose is i'm mediately attached to a valve connected with the boiler and turned on the frozen plug. If it is found to be frozen consid- erable distance down, the long brass noz- gle of the hose is jammed into tho hard ground. The powerful steam jet soon &C., complishes the desired purpose. The thaw hose, which is part of the outfit of every fire engine is often used to thaw the en- zine pipes as we'll as frozen plugs. 'dslphia Record.
