Tn. or,s,n., of Mr. o...uoon

Many years ago Frederick w. Ny
ers. in an article on George Eliot, told
us how once, when he called upon that
great woman and George Lewes, ne
found the couple vastly amused over
the fancied discovery by friend that
the portrait of the pedantic, capricious
and Jealous Mr.. Casaubon had been
drawn from Lewes.
"But whom did you draw 1t from?"
asked Mr.. Myers.
Mrs. Lewes pointed solemnly to her
own breast and said: From myself"
This old story is brought to mind
by a paragraph In Mrs. Annie Fieids
"Days with Mrs. Stowe." in the cur
rent Atlantic Monthly. from which 1t
appears that Mrs. Stowe was the friend
who identified Lewes with Casaubon.
In the summer OF 1869 Mrs. Field
called upon George Eliot at her home IN
st. Johns Wood. in London. The
novelist expressed the great love and
admiration which she felt for her
American contemporary. MANY let
ters had passed between Mrs. Stowe
and herself and she contided to us her
amusement at fancy Mrs. Stowe had
taken that Casaubon in 'Middlemarch'
Iewes. Mrs. Stowe took 1t So entirely
ewes. Mrs. Stowe took Is so entirely
for granted in her letters that 1t was
impossible to dispossess her mind OF
tho illusion. Evidently 1t was the
source of much harmless amusement

n Experimenting EnrineerLoscs Five OF
His Finger Nails.
A warning has been voiced by one Of
the leading English medical Journals
In regard to the too frequent use OF the
Roentgen ray apparatus, says the Phil-
.adelphia Ledger.
1t is interesting, no doubt, to obtain
. series Of photographs Of ones own
skeleton, but II this Is to be at the c1-
pense of such trifies as ones hair and
ones finger nails, 1t seems hardly
worth the cost One electrical engineer,
who has often demonstrated the Denu-
ty Of his finger bones by placing one OF
his hands within the radius OF the
searching rays, has lost all the nails
from the fingers of that hand, while
Mr.. Sidney Rowland, who Is one of the
leading experimenters in this direction,
mentions several cases of similar char
acter in the structural changes that oc-
cur In the hair, and SO forth, of those
who have been frequently shadow
graphed by this method. Thus, in the
case of patients whose heads have been
subjected to the influence of the rays,
the hair has either turned white or
has fallen out entirely. 1t is suggested
that these results are due to the cleo
trical potency Of what are called the
ultraviolet rays of the spectrum,
though their precise action il at pres
ent by no means thoroughly under
stood.
One curious suggestion has already
been made. 1t is n well known sup.
erstition, and one which has existed
for generations, that people who sleep
In the direct rays Of the moon have
their reason more or less seriously uf-
fected. Now. 1t is said that these ul-
tra-violet rnys exist in the moonlight,
and hence a popular superstition may
be founded upon scientific fact.

NEyY1RK STOCK MARK IT

New York, Jan. 6.-The stock mar
ket to-day was dominated by variety
of conclusions and conJectures over
the action of the administration in
resorting TO a popular loan as meas
IRE of relief to the Treasury Depart
ment. Wall street, almost to man,
had regarded an arrangement withMr.
Morgan and his associates, as a fore
gone conclusion and official intelligence
from Washington giving the loan to
the syndicate was considered TO be
merely a question of a day or two at
the fHrthest. The actual develop
ments SO suddenly announced had
decidedly unsettiing effect and the UNI
favorable influence was lent force by
special considerations being upon var
ious stocks. The most discouraging
deduction drawn by the financial com
munity from the popular loan plan,
regardless of its merits from any 9th
er point of view, is that the delay en-
tailed hereunder may capse acute dis
turbance in the money market and
temporarily exaggerate the prevailing
unrest. Already rumors of a distress
ing character have been circulated.
1t ID alleged that out-of-town
banks have been recently very slow
in remitting their balances to their
New York correspondents. Bank Ex-
aminer kimball, authorizes report
of the Associated Press to deny any
or all rumors respecting any New
York institutions. Two small up
town banks had recently, on account
of slow collections, been afforded
assistance, without the issue of clear
ing house loan certificates, but the OBJ
legations had been substantially made
good. Rumors of probable trouble"
among the brokerage houses, were also
passed around after the close of bust
ness, but no confirmation is obtaina-
BILE. Money on call was firmer during
the day but loans at above the legal
rate were exceptional. 1t was stated
that 81 100000 in gold which had been
ordered for shipment recently, but
withheld would be sent out on We'd
needay's steamer and the impression
prevailed that considerable amounts
of the precious metal would now go
forward.
No engagements were reported. Re
ports of a conference of the members
on the subject today could not be trac-
ed 10 any responsible source.
The market opened firm, and in the
initial dealings advances were scored
