IS. similarlv. sapta-sindhavas or

grains. Similarly, sapta-sindhavas or
sat-samudri in the common parlance
of the Hindus, means simply "all the
seas,' the whole world of waters" In
the dedication of Sett Premchund Roy
chund of the First Letter Book of the
East company, published by Quaritch
in 1892, the phrase "the Seven Seas" is
used in the sense of the wide waste OF
waters between London and Bombay.
This still living Oriental phrase was
perfectly we'll known to the Romans.
Virgil sings of it in the Aeneid. But
long before this the phrase was to be
found among the Hebrews, in Isaiah
XII, Is: And the Lord shall utterly de-
stroy the tongue of the Egyptian Sea.
and with His mighty wind shall He
shake His hand over the river, and shall
smite it in it's seven streams"
1t is needless to add that every use OF
the number seven in it's sacred signific-
ance throughout ancient and modern
mythology and folklore, superstition,
and magical and religious ritual Is ul-
timately derived secondarily from the
number G) of the planets known to the
ancients, and primarily from the num-
ber of stars, the septen-triones, "the
seven ploughing oxer," forming the con-
stellation that the sanctity of the num-
Der was aboriginally derived from the
number of the fingers on the left hand.
plus the thumb and forefinger of the
right, and that Ursa Major was hence
selected as "the pointer" of the heavens.
Be this as it may, there can be little
doubt Of the even-starred constellation
of the Great Bear having first inspired
men with courage to trust themselves
to it's uneICing guidance across the
"black waters (Kala-panD that for
cons upon cons had profoundly divided
them and of it's having been the means
of thus bringing the whole world to-
gether and gradually humanizing and
civilizing it. Its association with navi-
cation from the earliest dawn of trans
marine commerce would naturally
enough lead to the dark waters on which
it was nightly mirrored being phrased

reaction occurred. December declined
to I03h, but by 11:45 had again risen to
LOS. Then came the storm. Within five
minutes, and amid a whirl of excitement,
December bid to 1.0S. 1t reached with a
jerk to 1.061k, then up again without stop
to 100, the highest point bid for wheat
in this market for six years. Probably as
much wheat was sold on this advance as
on the earlier one. At noon the market was
Quieter. January shorts in the meantime
had not been idle. That month opened
strong at 1904. and 1t sold as high as 81
during the excitement an advance of SIC
since yesterday. 1t was figured that the
influences controlling December also ap-
piled to January, and shorts got under
cover as quickly as they could May was
also very strong, though 1t did not have
the same panicky appearance as the other
positions. 1t opened at 9lM9lA, as COM
pared with yesterdays closing price of
90la@90M, and had advanced by noon to
927s@92A. If the market at the opening had
been left, as usual, to take it's imprint
from those things that usually affect 1t,
decline would in all probability have oc-
CURED. Liverpool opened firm at an ad-
vance of %d., and closed only a shade
higher, although they must have known
before the close of the session of the early
considerable strength of the market here
Reports Of rain interfering with the har-
vesting Of wheat in Argentine. and that
the exportable surplus would be reduced
In consequence, was one Of the items OF
the days news that. like a good many
more, received very little attention. De-
cember, during the final hours of trading,
moved irregularly between 1.08 and 1.07
closing nervous at that price. May had re-
acted to 92ss at the close, while January
wound UP at 94k.
Corn was dull but firm, the range being
H@Ssc. The tone was due largely to the
advance In wheat, closing &c higher.
Oats were quite active and strong, In
sympathy with wheat. May closed &c
higher.
Not much interest was manifested In
provisions. The closing prices were high
er. January pork was cents higher,
January lard 7k cents higher, and January
ribs cents higher at the close.

product Of the worm. M. de Chardon-
nets offhand way of stating his case,
and the simplicity Of his analysis of
how the worm makes it's silk, carries
with 1t reasonable certainty that he
has made revolutionary discovery
which is calculated to affect countless
allied businesses. He says the worm
only mixes vegetable matter, such as
mulberry leaves, with a gummy SUBJ
stance, and then winds it into threads.
If this be all there is in the worms
work, certainly M. de Chardonnet is
right in his claim that this can be done
by machinery better than by the worm; !;
and his statement that he has already
succeeded in making silk of a more bril-
liant lustre than the worm, seems rea-
sonable. He adds that the leaves of the
orange tree may be utilized, and the
cost Of producing be diminished rs per
cent.
