Stock Letter

New York, Oct. 26.-Traders were en- couragei by the receipt of Q higher range of quotations from London, and the stock market opened steady. Small gains wsre shown through the list ard desultory and irregular fluctuations fol- lowed with the result of the establish ment of further fractional advances. Un- ion Pacific gainad s4, although there was disposition to await fresh develop ments in the efforts to secure postpone ment of the foreclosure sale. St. Paul advanced 5s, Sugar a point. Chicago Gas opened up 3sc, but subsequently lost more than the advantage. The market turned dull and mostly profess sional. London was a buyer of fair amounts of Union Pacific. Louisville and Nashville and St. Paul also. Bull points were freely given on Chicago Gas, and there was a fair borrowing demand for the stock. The Irice was easily marked up, however. Subsequently the market became dull and held steady. devoid of feature or particular interest. In the last hour of the session good buying movement created a better feeling, and the market closed strong, with c5nsid- erable turn for the better, all stocks closing at an advance of F to 5s per ant

A cABsoMlc ACID WELL

surzSolgs. sai1 to Have tAe Only SuP-
 ply Of the Kind in inc World.
 Four years ago workmen boring for a new spring at Saratoga. N. T., were startled when, with tre- mendous rush and roar, dirt, sand and stones came flying up out of the hole, but not bit of water ap- peared. For three days no one would approach the place, for, though the shower of dirt and stones ceased, and no water, in fact, nothing visible, sp- peared, the rushing, roaring sound continued This was heard for miles and resembled that made by a number of locomotives all blowing off steam at once. At the end of this time it was discovered that the noise was caused by the rapid escape of natural carboEic acid gas. The gas was brought under control, and is now bottled fer conmer- cial purposes, and the well is the cnly one of the kind in the world.
 The bottling of gas for transporta- tion is somewhat different from the bottling of liquid. The gas is sent through iron pipes from the well to . condenser, where it passes through a succession of other pipes, each one in turn compressing it more than the last and depriving it of more heat. Al leLgth, having reached pressure of 2 thousand pounds to the square inch, il is forced into iron cylinders about six inches in diameter and somewhat more

He Didn't Throw the Race.

Two friends were out in the noun tains hunting; they were a sort of a Damon and Pythias combination, had shared alike for years and were not contented when apart. Ore day they found bear and immediately com menced pumping lead into him, but MT. Bear, being healthy old cinna- mon, resented this and advanced double quick, his big forrnquiyering with rage. One of the men got to tree in a-hop- slip-and-a-jump, but the other had farther to go, the bear in full chase and snarling at every jump.
 Said the man up the tree, "Run, John, run RUN you son of a gun, run, run, the bear gaining, RUN, RUN 2" He got to the tree and up it all right, and after long time the bear went away and they came down, but John was surly. His friend finally observed it and said, "What's the matter, John?" Frank" said he, "did I ever do you dirt?" "Why, mo-" said he in astonishment, "what do you mean ?"
