A small army. consisting of members of

steps that led to trouble I'm this city. The
force of foreigners selected B street along

of operations, and considerable skirmishing
inaugurated active military operations with
a blockade that was so effective that a
score or more American citizens, foraging
for supplies to equip the commissary de-
partment for Sunday business. were forced
to halt. The Americans beat a hasty re-
treat. but soon returned with reinforce
ments, the Greeks then learning that the
adversaries with whom they had to cope
were not Turks, but members of the met
ropolitan police force. In the engagement
that followed the police had decidedly the
best of 1t, but in order to reach a final and
satisfactory settlement, Judge Kimball of
the Police Court was today called upon 20

ing engine Of Professor Hopkins uni
versity. The grating in question Is n
metal plate, slightly concaved and en-
graved with microscopic lines. Bras
hear prepared the plate and then sent
Ii to Baltimore for treatment in Pro-
fessor Rowland's laboratory, where II
was engraved with lines so fine and so
close together that there are 10000
Of them to the inon.
A similar comparison will enable
one to realize what this means. In
the majority of books there are from
200 to $50 leaves to the inch when
the covers are pressed firmly together.
In a small minority, the number will
range from 300 to $50. Now, IL we
could split one OF the very thinnest Of
these leaves into 300 layers of uniform
thickness, the product would be equiv
a'tnt to 100000 to the inch, or a little
less than the number of lines in this
spcctroscope grating. 1t must be re-
memDered, moreover, that there must
be a little space between the lines, If
one is to be distinct from the other.
Therefore, if an inch be divided up
into 100000 equal parts, nine of them
would be covered by a line and a
space. 1t is stated that the space was
3,0O0,000ths wide; from which it must
be inferred that the line was 5000.
OOoths of an inch wide. OF course, Il
is impossible to see such lines with
the naked eye. Only a very powerful
microscope would reveal them. But
they are there, and as smooth, straight
and regular as one can imagine.
The ruling engine is kept in a dark
chamber, underground in a dust-proof
glass case, and when in service is
guarded against temperature changes
with almost inconceivable caution. No
one is permitted to enter the dungeon
at such times, and only a very few on
any other occasion. The principle of
the apparatus, however is very simple.
A diamond point, whose selection oc-
cupied months of time, because of the
need that it should possess a certain
prescribed shape, has been mounted In
a tiny carriage that is driven to and
fro over the mirror, propelled at an ex-
ceedingly uniform speed by means of
hydraulic motor. After each trip, the
carriage is moved a little to one side,
SO that the diamond will cut its next
line In new place. This adjustment
is made automatically, at the right in
ing glory of the whole mechanism. 1t
| is the perfection of accuracy. The
screw remains motionless while a line
is being engraved, is then turned a
small fraction of a revolution by gear
ing, and again keeps still while the dia-
mond is at work.
In several of the best gratings now in
use, there are only from 10000 to 40, 900

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, August 20.--The process
Of realizing profits, on the long con-
tinued advance in the market went on
today and was reflected in the heavy
tone of the market and the cessation
of active outside buying. The selling
was much of it by commission houses,
and is presumably of holdings by the
outside public who have grown fearful
cf a decline. Although offerings on
this account was large and although
the days sharp decline uncovered large
numbers Of stop loss orders at times,
the offerings were pretty well absorbed.
Orders are apparently waiting in the
market to buy on a scale down so that
prices meet a resisting force before
they have receded far.
Prices in the stock market did not
respond to the sensational rise in
wheat as is sometimes the case. So far
as this rise was due to buying for ex-
port and to the jump in the price of
wheat in England and the continent,
it was a favorable influence on stocks
as indication increased purchasing
power in the hands of the farmers.
Total sales were 40S,2 200.
