TN n TORRENsL4y.

The first transfer of real estate in Chi
cago has taken place under the Torrens
law, and the believers in the law are
pointing to it as an example Of what can
be done. A bargain having been made
between two persons for the purchase
and sale of a. piece of real estate deed
was made out the parties went before
the registrar, the title was examined.
q new certificate was given to the
purchaser, and the transaction was
completed. The whole business occll-
pied less than an hour, 10 longer, in
fact, than it would take to transfer q
certificate Of bank stock from one per-
son to another and have it duly entered
on the books of the bank.
The constitutionality OF the law is in
question, but 1t is generally expected
that the decision will be in its favor. It
is plausibly argued that the legislature
has power to declare what shall be
evidence OF title to real property, and
for what length of time the statute of
limitations shall run. The legislature
has from time to time passed laws af-
/ fecting the holding OF real estate, de-
clared what form of deed and what
words were sufficient to convey it, what
the effect of registration should be, after
how many years a person i'll possession
Of land should be deemed to have an
ineontestable title thereto, and has gem
orally prescribed the rules of evidence
for the proving or substantiation of
titles to land. And it is urged that if
the legislature can establish rules il
may also change them in accordance
| with the demands or interests of the
! people This is all the Torrens law
does. 1t changes certain of the old rules
| for the transfer of real estate, declares
what shall be sufficient notice of title,
and the number of years after which no
| title can be contested
a general change in the present cum
bersome system of transferring real es-
tate is certainly needed, and it is to be
hoped that it can be constitutionally
| made.

4 perfected bullet for which great de-
structive power is claimed has just been
finished by an inventor at Anderson,
Indiana. The bullet has a hole one
eighth of an inch in diameter bored
from the front END almost drought its
entire length. This air chamber, the
inventor says, gathers air under strong
pressure, caused by the rapid fight of
the bullet, and the air expanding, when
the bullet finds its mark, causes an ex-
plosfon of great destructive force.
Whatever the principle of the inventor
the projectile is said to have shown re-
markable results. Inch boards, which
would be pierced by IN ordinary solid
bullet of the same calibre, are splintered
and torn up with great violence by the
perforated bullet. Cans filled with wa
ter and sealed were simply pierced by
an ordinary bullet. but were blown into
fragments when struck by the new pro-
iectile.- The usual effect, witnesses say.
is for the bullet to tear in the object

A peculiar tax, imposed in many west
ern communities, is a vehicle license,
which owners of vehicled conveyances,
whether kept for hire or for personal
use, are Obliged to pay. The license is
regarded as the price paid for the use
of the highway and. according to a re-
cent decision Of the Indiana Supreme
court, 1t may even be collected by q
municipality from non-residents who
drive over the streets of the city, that
right coming within the police power
of the city. The nonresident has no
good cause of com plaint. the court says,
rs he has the use of the streets with
out paying for their maintenance other
taxes than the vehicle license. In Ohio
the idea has becn developed by class
ing bicycles as vehicles to bring them
within the vehicle taxation laws, and a
bill to that end has been passed by the
house.

Ryals. ''The trees had not budded suf-

DUN'S REPORT.
Hot Weather Affected Trade
Throughout the Country.
Crops Have Sustained Serious Injury
According to Government Reports.
An Increased Number OF Failures-Greater
Confidence In the Stock Market
Wheat Fraction Higher-Corn
Declined-Cotton Advanced.

New YORK, Aug. 15.-R. q. Dun &
Co. Saturday says in their weekly re-
view of trade:
Failures for the week have been 29S
in the United States against 196 last
year, and S6 in Canada against Ss last
year. An extraordinary spell of dead
ly hot weather has affected trade
throughout the country and in the
east speculative feeling was some
what affected until Thursday by
apprehension of the possible influence
of the Bryan meeting. With cooler
weather there came also on Thursday
perception that the meeting would not
affect business unfavorably. But 9TH
er conditions were not stimulating
According to government reports, the
crops has sustained serious injuries.
Labor difficulties extend, and the clos
ing of establishments for want of work
aid the refusal Of commercial loans by
banks, checked operations in many
branches of industry and trade.
There is evidence of greater conf
dence in the stock market which began
to appear on Monday. The average of
60 most active railroad stocks had fall
en- to $40. s5 per share, decline of over
seven per cent for the week, so that
prices were actually the lowest in Tx
years, since the first mon tn a fter specie
resumption.
The government crop report for Au-
gust was so gloomy that 4 great rise in
prices would have followed if 1t had
been entirely credited. In fact, wheat
rose about one-half cent. but again de.
clined, closing only fraction higher
for the week. Corn declined through
out the week, closing over a cent
lower. Cotton advanced a sixteenth
because of continued reports of in
jury.
Iron production was reduced 20, 764
tons weekly in July, AMI has been fur
ther reduced since August /, while un-
sold stocks increased 26. 192 tons in
July The stoppage of large share
of the Connellsville coke works and of
many lake iron mines is fair indication
that the two combinations do not be-
lieve anything could be gained by re-
ducing the prices of materials, and the
main difficulty is the obviously extreme
narrowness of demand for finished
products which is so small that most
transactions are at some concessions
even from the current low prices
The boot and shoe industry is ap-
proaching the end of orders at hand
and gradual advances in the prices
asked tend to the restriction of new
orders. Leather is scarcely changed
in price, many of the tanneries hav-
ing ceased operations, but hides are six
per cent. lower for the week. and have
declined II. 4S per cent. within the last
five weeks.
The woolen manufacture makes little
change, with not more than third of
the machinery now running and the
demand for goods does not improve,
although prices of some important
grades have been further reduced Nor
has improvement appeared in cotton
goods, although the curtailment of
production for some weeks has been
great.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 15.--Fine
weather and an attractive programme
drew the largest attendance of the

suddenly from the northwest, chilling
the crowd and the horses and having a
marked effect ON speed.

and racing began promptly at noon.
The track was in superb condition
and the time was fast in all races, The
big attraction to the crowd was Robert
