IN The WORLD OF FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, August 20.-To. days stock
market disappointed the owners and
holders of securities who had pinned
their faith to decided improvement in
prices as a result of the beginning of the
return flow of gold announce yesterday.
A further engagement for import to This
country Of $3.50, 900 was made So-day and
there were unconfirmed rumors after the
close of business of additional heavy i'm
ports within n day or two. 1t was an
nounced that the bank presidents whose
conference was reported yesterday, had
decided that concerted action to secure
gold from Europe was not called for in
the existing circumstances. AS usual in
similar conditions the Street was fur
nished with q considerable amount of in
genious but unauthoritative data regard
ing the prospective importation of the yell
low metal In we'll Uniformed circles the
impression prevailed that the imports of
glod were for the express purpose of
affording much needed financial relief to
the mercantile community. There was
also conflict for opinion among experts
as to whether the 81, 000,00 engagement
of Messrs LaZard Freres was or was not
"speciap' transaction.
The market was only moderately active
and prices moved irregularly with per-
sister downward trend. The huctua-
lions were in many instances quite
marked. The traders were bearishly dis
posed on account of the failure of the
London market to respond to the i'm
provement on the local exchange yester-
day. Reported further cutting of rail.
road rates, stiffening in exchange fig
ures and estimates of heavy decrease in
the reserves of the associated banks on
Saturday contributed to depress stocks.

A Tree Turned to Iron.

At the meeting of the Academy OF
Natural Sciences last night Professor
Oscar G. S. Carter, of the Boys Gen.
trail High School, was the principal
speaker.
In his address he referred to So
called iron tree, which was discovered
about one mile from Three Ton, Mont
gomery County, imbedded in sand
stone quarry about ten feet below the
surface.
The tree was about eighteen feet
long and the trunk was about eight
inches in diameter. 1t had completely
turned to iron and was composed
mostly of brown hematite, an iron
ore. A portion of the tree was OF i'm
perfect Ignite, which the professor
explained, greatly resembled charcoal.
No doubt exists among scientists that
the article referred to was real tree,
because knots were found, many OF
which had also turned to iron.
s'The phenomenon is accounted
for" said Professor Carter, "by the
fact that the shales and sandstone in
that neighborhood are covered with
red oxide of iron, and sometimes with
brown hematite, and it is supposed
that the iron ore, which contains a
coloring, was reduced by organized
matter, and that it was made soluble
in water containing carbonic acid gas.
AS the water, holding the iron in solu-
ton, came in contact with the tree,
the iron was precipitated on the tree,
aud there was an interchanging OF
vegetable and mineral matter, SO that
the rocks were relieved of their color
ing matter and the tree took itup. -

This Bird can Walk, Swim or Fly.

A strange bird recently found in
British Guiana, South America, is the
only vouched for survivor OF hither-
to supposed extinct race. Several OF
them are known among the fossil
races, and are called, by natural his
torians, opisthocomuscristntus. This
particular species is called the crested
hoatzin, and the records of the Smith.
sonian Institution stand sponsor for it.
"The young hoatzins have, when
hatched," says the institute report,
"four WELL developed legs, the front
pair being somewhat OF a reptllian
character, with strong claws. They
possess the ability to leave thesnest as
soon as hatched, and by using all
"four legs like monkey, to climb,
over branches, twigs and tree trunks.
This bird has also the power, even
while young, to swim, dive and re-
main for long period under water. "
Soon after hatchlng. the fore legs
begin to change, the claws fall off and
the claw-like member becomes fat
tened into the point of an. ordinary
bird wing; feathers begin to grow,
when fully grown, no sign remains OF
the queer fore legs it possessed at
birth.
In the Smithsonian report, Prof.
Lucas says: 'In the nestlings we have
the nearest approach to quadr upe d
found among existing birds.
The adult bird is nearly as large
as a peacock, and lives in the densest
forest. 1T is rarely seen, but its loud.
wailing cry is often heard in the
woods.
It's flesh has an offensive smell,
from the vegetation it selects as food,
and this renders it unfit for eating.

A Black Hills Curiosity

One of the greatest curiosities in tie
Northwest is the Devils Tower, locat-
ed on the Belle Fourche River, in the
northwestern extremity of the Black
Hills. OF this wonder geologist of
international reputation said:-
"It is a remarkable freak of nature
and appears not to have been repeated
elsewhere on earth's surface but stands
alone, unique and mysterious.
The tower is believed to be the cone
of cooled down volcano. At dis
tance it resembles huge cask or bar
rel made of gigantic timbers, the sides
being roughly furrowed with crystals
of trachyte. Its nights is 1900 feet
above the Belle Fourche River, and 1t
is 800 feet in height from its base.
The walls on all sides are smooth
and perpendicular.
A paragraph concerning it, which
has been wildly circulated, says that
owing to the smooth and perpendicu-
lar walls on all sides no human being
has ever been able to climb to the top.
This is an error, as during recent
years both a man and woman have
succeeded in reaching the summit.
A man named Rogers, who lived
near the tower, performed the danger
Gus and difficult feat on July 4, 1893,
in the presence of large number OF
persons who had gathered at the spot
to celebrate Independence Day, and
planted the Stars and Strips on the
summit.
Subsequently his wife performed the
same feat, they being the only persons
so far as known, who have ever stood
on the top of this curious rock. The
ascent was made possible only by driv-
ing spikes or pins into the perpendic-
ular sides of the tower almost the en-
tire distance of eight hundred feet
from the base to the summit, and
even then the ascent was attended
with constant danger that the climber
would lose his or her equilibrium and
be dashed to death on the jagged rocks

Land OF Mighty Wonders.

To the botanist and geologist, Ice
land presents a peculiarly rich field.
The flora is plentiful and varied. The
mountains have many curious shapes
and forms; the outburst of volcanic
energy having occurred in closest con-
tact with the realm of ice, bears EVIL
dence of frost and fire having grappled
in sternest conflict, writes Ruth Shaft
ner. In some cases the nucleus IN
the basaltic mass alone remains, and
looks like monuments or cairns, aud 1t
is difficult to believe they are natural.
Zeolites, embedded in reddish clay,
bits of agate and fragments of chal-
cedony, are few of the treasures found
strewn in the paths leading to the
fiords.
Nothing can be more delightful than
q horseback trip over 800 or l,ooo
miles through Iceland. The traveller
sees thousands of mountains covered
with eternal snow outrivalling the
Alps in grandeur; great geysers and
innumerable hot wells waterfalls, one
of which-the Gullfoss- is second
only to Niagara in size and beauty !;
crystal streams and dashing rivers !;
lava beds of fantastic figures, covered
with moss that glistens in the sun like
hoar frost, and as GROWING glory
the atmosphere is SO brilliant that OBJ
jects eighty miles distant appear close
at hand.
The effects of light and shadow are
the purest l have ever seen, and the
contrast of color is truly astonishing;
