Their general improvement in the stock
markets here today. Consols and other
investments led the advance on the antic-
ipation of cheap money in the new year.
Americans rose sharply. partly on Secree-
tary Carlisle's report, but mainly, it is
said, on the active support from those in
terested in the success of the Reading
scheme. This scheme is received more
calmly here than might have been ex-
pected. Prices closed little under the
best and the entire market was somewhat
duller at the close, but the financial stu
alton at the stock exchange is gradually
improving, with a healthy tendency in
the general markets to shake themselves
ket. There is a small boom on Argentine
rails on earnings and the growing i'm
provement in the industrials.

A Berlin periodical has tho following;
In 1906 Humboldt and Gay Lnssac met
In Paris TO pursue their Investigations
as TO tho compression Of mir. The two
men of science found IL necessary to
obtain n large number OF glass tubes.
These were very dear in France at the
time, and the enormously high duty
forbade their introduction from abroad.
But Homboldt was nothing duunted.
He ordered the tubes from German
glass works, and instructed the manu-
facturcr TO close them up at both ends
and afilx TO each n label with these
words: "Dcutschc Luft" German air..
The air of Germany was an article
