The stock market to-day was irreg-
nlar, with saggmg tendency on
diminished volume OF business. The
professional traders maintained their
control OF the speculation, but some
commission house purchases for cash
were also reported. The industrials
bore the brunt of persistent bear
drives and the general list was sym
patheucally depressed. The market us
a whole was unfayorably affected by
the stiffness in the money markets and
by an unexpected heavy withdrawal
OF gold from the sub-treasury under
somewhat peculiar circumstances The
details Of the transaction will be found
IN another column. The stock market
made an early display OF strength on
the failure of the governors Of the
Bank of England to advance the min
imrm rate of discount of the institu-
ton as had been expected. The greatest
bear aggression occurred in the after
noon session and caused the wip!ng

spun Glass.

A French chemist brought spun glass
Into practical use about fifty years ago
although the art Of spinning glass was
practiced long before that time. lie
first succeeded in softening the hard,
shiny effect Of the glass fabric, giving il
"A silky effect that was much more pleas
ing. Next he endeavored TO reduce its
brittleness by making a spun glass,
whose threads were much finer than
those of silk, and whose texture was
much like that OF wool. This glass
could readily be woven and all kinds
Of articles were made Of 1t. 1t was
found especially suitable for surgical
use, owing to It's antiseptlc properties
and its cleanliness. The fact that glass
is unattached by most acids made the
fabric useful for laboratory filters, and
nearly all well equipped establishments
of the kind now use them. The cloth is,
beside, non-combustible and poor con-
ductor Of heat. AS the individual
fibers are perfectly non-absorbent,
grease spots and stains can be readily
removed For this same reason the
cloth cannot be dyed, but 1t can be spun
Of coiored glass and the color is abso
Iutely fast and unchanging.

OF English Orig N.

Many so-called Americanisms are in
reality archaisms OF which the English
origin Is forgotten. The phase "let
slide" is supposed to be an American.
ism. but students of English literature
will call to mind the following stanza
from Chaucer's "Clerkes Tale:"
Il blame him not that he considered
nought
In time coming what might him belittle.
But on his lust present was all his
thought,
And for to hanke and hunt on every side:
Well nigh all other cures let he slide,
And exc he n old land that was worst of
all
Wedden no wif for ought that might
befall."
The term II guess was also used by
Chaucer:
"Witb him tier was his some. a younger
squier.
A lover and lnsty bachelor,
With l6chs crule as they were laide in
presse.
Of twenty year Of age he was gesse."
Americans have been criticized for u.s.
ing the word .'hOnlely" TO express the
absence Of beautiful--aS "homely
girl for a plain girl" An example
Of such usage may be found in Shaks-
peaFe:
Upon homely Object love can wink"
After all. life would be unbearabIe II
