Gorgeous Moving vans.

One sees good many big vans on the
streets-the vans that in the last few years
have almost entirely replaced trucks and
express wagons and taken the sting from
the 1st of May. These monster vehicles are
lined with padding and are attended by ex-
pert workmen, so that it is no longer true
that three removals are as bad as a fire. A
curious thing about these vans is that they
have recently burst out into the most fiorid
illustration. In Brooklyn the pictures are
more numerous and conspicuous than they
are in New York. They cover the whole
side of the van and are often we'll painted.
The subjects are usually patriotic, and it is
difficult to see the relation between moving

The Age Of the Earth.

The earth's age, like that of the pro-
verbal spinster, must. ! suppose, be
deemed uncertain, or at least las in the
case of the census paper) we must allow
a fair margin for probabilities. The geolo-
gists on the one hand are supposed to
make very big drafts indeed on the bank
over which Father Time presides; while
the physicists on the other hand insist
on more moderate demands being formu-
lated. The latest explorer in this field
Of inquiry is Mr.. Clarence King, well
known American geologist, who seems
to lean to the sideof the physicists In this
matter. OF course everybody starts with
the earth as a gaseous mass and every
body gets to the earth as a cooling globe
which is certain in time to become 9
burnt out cinder like the moon.
From researches on the effects of heat
and pressure as applied to cooling orb
Mr.. King concludes that Lord Kelvin'
estimate of the earth's age is very neal
the mark. According to Mr.. King tn
age Of our world is to be set down as no
exceeding some 24,00O, 900 years, which
venture to say, is SO entirely unthinka

The Panama SILK Tree.

One of the greatest curiosities of the Pan
anna isthmus is the vegetable silk tree. 1t
is a plant that grows from Is to 20 feet
high, and in appearance does not differ
greatly from other trees, but the inner
bark is perfect silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separated it by some
method best known to themselves, the proc
ess somewhat resembling that Of beating
fax. When once it is separated and spun
into threads, it can be woven into fabric
SO closely resembling silk that it is din
cult for any one not familiar with it to dis
tinguish between the two. This species Of
silk goods is in high favor on the isthmus
and a Colombian belle Is never happiel
than when she is arrayed in gayly coloret
dress made from the trees in her father
yard.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

OPINION OF A MANAGER
Some Top Notch Figures Touched On the
Exchange
A Slump Scared the Brokers Al. There Was
aMerry Scramble or tfe Exchange,
End Not Yet

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 17.-"There
will be more monev lost in the oil bust
ness this year than for long time past.
This is the prediction OF the PRESIDENT
Of one OF the local pipe lines He said
he did not refer to the result of the trans
actions on the exchanges, but to the OPP
erations in the field. Leases, bonuses,
royalties, material and labor are all be-
ing based on the advance in the price of
crude oil.
The number of field operations last year
was II, 500, the largest total since 1890.
Notwithstanding this large increase, the
production of the new wells was compare
lively small. approximately $47, 200, 900
was put into field work. From reports
already received from various regions,
the number of operations and the ex-
penditure involved will greatly exceed the
total for last year. If oil is struck in
large quantities, the market price Of the
commodity will certainly decline, while
the cost of producing will have been
oil is not struck in large quantities the
loss will be equally great. In any event
millions will be sunk in. dry holes.
The lowest sales were made at ST. Is and
the lowest point touched was 10. 1h9
closing figure was $2.1615. Although the
market fell So cents during the day it IS
estimated that but few people lost, as
most of the oil held here was bought at
figures below 81. Besides this, nearly all
the brokers have refused to hi9nohe mar
gins of less than 81 per barrel. The market
fell from -. 40 to $2.10 in twenty minutes.
The brokers here explain the slump by
the fact that spectators in Oil City be-
came panic stricken and all tried to sell
out at once. The alarm was increased by
the fact that Standard agents refused to
buy certi tcates from curbstone brokers at
the fixed price of $3.50 per barrel, though
they nevsr stopped taking oil from regular
producers at that figure. III spite OF the
panic here not ever 10000 barrels were
sold all day. -
A Standard official today said Che
scarcity of oil was not sufficient to justify
prices above ~, and characterized the
fancy prices as II wind boom. The Stand
ard advanced the price OF refined today
one cent. This makes an advance of five
cents since last Saturday,
J. NJ Guffey predicted the market to-
morrow would recover all it had lost, say
ing it had fallen because lot of people
got scared, 1t is said here if the Stand
ard retains its present price, $3.50, tomor-
row. oil will go to SO by A O'Clock, and
should the Standard reduce the price for
cash oil to ". the speculative price will
range between 81. 25 and ~. 40.
