An Active Buying Movement in Which
London Was Prominent.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Speculation on the Stock
Exchange to-day was healthier in tone than for a
long time past. There was an active buying move
ment in which London was very prominent, the
purchases for the foreign account being chiefly of
st. Paul and Louisville and Nashville; but Read
ing and Atchison came in for a small measure of
attention. The moving influence of the market
was the universal belief the issuing Of per
cent loan OF 500, 0O0,0 600 by the Government was
While there was no official confirmation of the
common report as to the placing OF the loan the
street, which ever takes one side or another of a
question, adopted the theory and used it as
complished fact that the loan was TO be and then
reasoned out that the United States treasury cot
fers would be filed with gold, and with foreign
gold at that, which would be less likely TO be with
drawn in the near future than if the loan was to be
taken as whole at home. The easier tone of the
sterling exchange market in the afternoon also
tended to assist the appreciation in shares which
began at the opening, and but with few exceptions
continued to the close.
During the last hour of business, when the an
nouncenents were made of the cancellation OF the
greater part of the orders for gold for shipment for
tomorrow made early in the day, speculation be-
in good tone to the close. Lead sold up to 49, lost
the gain, but closed per cent above yesterdays
closing. Nearly everything on the list dealt in
showed advances on the day.

A Monument to Lafayette.

Brooklyn is to have a monument to
the Marquis de Lafayette, and for it it
is indebted to the boyish enthusiasm Of
one of its citizens, Henry Hartesu,
who, when only five years old, was
fred with an intense admiration for the
great Frenchman on the occasion of
his visit to this country in 1924. He
was then living in Prospect street, not
far from Fulton Ferry, where General
Lafayette was to be met by the Brook
Ign delegation on the occasion of his
reception. Thu boy took his young
sister, only four years old, with him,
made his way through the crowds and
pushed along to Lafayette until he got
directly under him, when he cried out:
4" l want to shake hands with Den'ral
Lat'ette!" The general greeted him
as such a man would greet such an adj
mirer, and Henry's pride was at its
height. Meanwhile he had been missed
at home, and the only word that came
to his mother was of his having been
seen in the crowds. Messengers sought
him on every side, but at last he turned
up with the air of conquerer and the
words; Mamma, have been to see
Den'ral Lafette and to shake hands
with himl" From that time Mr.. Har-
teau kept the purpose of honoring
the general in his mind, and after his
death, not long since, it was found that
in his will S35 900 had been left for the
erection of the monument.

The Battle Ship "Indiana."

The good speed shown by the "In-
DIANA" in her preliminary run, is the
more gratifying because it removes one
of the main objections urged against
the splendid trio of big battleships of
which she is the pioneer.
A fighting ship designed for general
service must necessarily be compro-
mise, to some extent, among several
needed qualities, none of which can be
carried to the absolute maximum. In
the "Indiana" and her mates the great
est emphasis is laid on armor and arma-
ment, with the result of producing a
combination unequaled by any ships of
their displacement in the world.
When it is said that their water-line
belts are eigh cen inches thick, that the
barbettes of their heaviest guns are
seventeen inches, and the revolving tur-
rets fifteen inches, and that this armor is
of quality far superior to any that had
ever at the time been put upon any ship
in foreign navy, the extraordinary
defensive strength of these vessels will
be apparent. But quite as striking is
their prodigious battery. The elm
diana carries four huge thirteen-inch
guns, eight eight-inch, and four six-inch,
besides twenty sx-poundefs, six one
FOUNDERS and four Gatlings. This bat
terry was declared by Secretary Tracy
five years ago to be " the heaviest and
most effective in battle carried to-day
by any ship atloat or projected, and its
disposition is such as to make it tell
with terrific effect" The Indiana
can throw at a single round from all
her guns $500 pounds of projectiles, or
more that three tons. 1t was not sur
prising, therefore, to find the former
secretary asserting of these three yes
sells that I" their equal as fighting ships
does not exist at the present day."
And it may now be added that, in spite
of the heaviness of her armor and the
carried, an official test has shown the
stability and seaworthiness of the " In
diana" to be beyond reproach.
With the stress laid on guns and
armor, it was of course impossible to
secure the two other prime features of
speed and steaming radius to an extent
which is secured, for example, in the
"New York" or the Brooklyn" AS
General Tracy has said: "The duty of
the battle ships is to fight, not to run,
and these ships will never have occa-
sion to run from hostile fleet of equal
or even slightly superior numbers,
whatever the vessels of which that fleet
is composed" Still, while the normal
coal supply of these vessels is only 400
tons, their bunker capacity is four times
as great, thus giving them all the rs-
dius of action they need as coast-line
battle ships, while the preliminary run
of the " Indiana handsomely surpassed
her contract speed.
With this vessel practically ready for
commission and sea service, and the
Massachusetts and "Oregon" soon
to follow, the navy will be stronger by
three powerful ships.-New York Sun.

These papers were intended to be
but random jOttings of my journey,
and were written with no expectation
that they would be of interest to any
but the old soldiers who were once in
this region, where their soles, as we'll as
souls, were sorely tried. But they have
been received with wider interest,
awakened by the subject itself rather
than lis treatment. Among several let

BREEDING UP STOCK,

When engaged in breeding up NO.
tive stock to some one of the improved
varieties, there should be definite
point aimed at from the first. This
must be adhered to, or the stock will
soon become entirely unreliable for
breeding. Our native animals are of
no particular breed, but if good speci-
mems of their kind, they are better to
breed from than half-bred or three
quarter animal of some other
strain. For example, if you are
breeding from Holstein bull for
milk or butter, half blood of short
horn or Jersey or Guernsey will not
give as good results as will frst-rate
native COW. In the former case there
is prepotency on both sides and the
offspring will be widely variant. With
a native COW and q thoroughbred bull
of any kind, the prepotency is all in
the same line. If the breedingis con-
tinued further the same strain of
breed should be used as at first. The
established breeds are all too firmly
established to be crossed more than
once with any certainty that the
breeding will perpetuate the desirable
qualities on either side of the house.
