Copper.

While dull at the beginning OF the week,
the market has developed great deal Of
strength and activity during the last
two days. In view of the general i'm
provement which has made Itself appa-
rent some OF the more prominent con-
sumers no longer considered it safe TO
defer purchases, and their entering the
market simultaneously with foreign buy.
ers gave an impetus TO values, but there
is little disposition on the part OF holders
to satisfy the demand at present prices.
The tact which we have all along stated,
that the extremely heavy foreign demand
had absorbed whatever surplus OF copper
there may have been, is now only too
clearly illustrated. ALI the larger pro-
ducers have during the last few weeks
been hardly able to keep up with the
demands made upon them for immediate
shipment, and il there should be arevival
in consumption here-Thich is not at all
looked for. While last week some sales
of Lake were made at IL cents, since
then Tx cents has been freely bid, and
nothing appears TO be obtainable at the
close At less than liz cents. Electroly tic
in cakes, bars or ingots is firmer, too,
the price now being 10Y cents, that for
catholics 10Y cents, and for casting cop.
per 10k610% cents.
The foreign market has improved
materially, less as the result of specula.
ton than reluctance on the part oil
producers here to supply the demand at
the lower prices which Europe attempted
TO establish. Consumers abroad in
adopting this policy allowed their stocks
TO dwindle down TO minimum, and az
a result the orders which are now in tn,
market are so large that they may belT
to stimulate the advance. G.. M. Be-

Teaching by monograph.

A professor of languages in this city has
brought the monograph into use as an as
sistant. He uses it to teach his pupils the
proper pronunciation. His method is to
send with his textbook a monograph and
90 loaded and 20 blank cylinders. Each
lesson in the book is arranged in questions
and answers, and the pupil puts the proper
cylinder in the photograph before begin
ming lesson. With the book before him
and the tubes of the photograph in his
ears, he reads the lesson and also hears the
phrases repeated with the proper accent.
This he can repeat until he has acquired
the proper pronunciation and thoroughly
understands the lesson. Then he uses-one
of the blank cylinders and repeats what he
has learned for the purpose of sending it
back to the professor and having it COR
rected. The professor places the tube into
his phonograph, listens to his pupil and
writes out such criticisms as are necessary
and sends them to him. BY this means
many are enabled to study at their homes
and the professor to have pupils in any
part of the country. The professor has
over 500 machines out.-New York Times.

A Curio.

A great crowd had gathered to see
and to bid on the greatest curiosity in
the world. The auctioneers catalogue
described it truly as the only thing Of
It's kind in existence" and collectors
who had come from all parts of the
country acknowledged that it was
unique. When the auctioneer assembled
the rostrum, there was breathless 81
lence
'It is unnecessary for me to prove
that this curiosity has no double in the
world" he began. "You all know that
another like it does not exist; that this
is the only low grade bicycle on earth.
Has any one here ever heard of low
grade bicycle before?"
"No, noP' the shout went up.
The first bid was $500, and the bid
ding rapidly went up to $4,000, at
which figure the bicycle was awarded
to an agent of the National museum in
Washington. New York World.

RANSOM OF INCA.
Fabulous Wealth Securely Hidden In the
Peruvian Mountains.

Fabulous Wealth Securely Hidden In the
Peruvian Mountains.
Adventures who seek mere gold with
out reference to art should turn to Peru.
To begin with, the remainder of the meas
ransom is buried somewhere in the noun
tains between Caxamarca and CuZco, says
The Pail Mall Gazette. We may confident
" assume that it has not been discovered,
for if put into circulation at home the
money market would have been convulsed,
whereas the finders would have no reason
for keeping the secret had they got safely
away TO Europe.
AS for the evidence of deposit, there is
Pizarrois official report that his comrades
would not wait until the celebrated room
was full. They were too impatient to MUIR
der their captive, though they knew that
the bullion levied upon the temple at Cuz-
co was on its way, transported by 100, 900
llamas, each carrying 100 pounds of purest
gold. The figure is not incredible, seeing
how much remained when the conquista-
dores sacked CuZco. News of the murder
reached that precious caravan in the noun
tains. Forthwith the priests buried their
gold and returned Every one concerned
with the expedition who could be identi-
fed was tortured TO DEATH but none would
/ speak. Sucn is Une cOnbelll poIlTy GCCotuu.
But we observe that sir Clements Mark
ham, president Of the Royal Geographical
society, obtained some information during
his memorable expedition TO Peru. He
| states, as ie it were well known in the
neighborhoCd that the caravan left the
| highway at spot now called AZanjaro-
name which people derive from the Indi-
an 'asuan caran," meaning "more dis
! tant" Away from the roadp' cried the
! priests. Farther awayp' One always feels
| the strongest reluctance to accept deriva-
tions of place name from a spoken word.
J But it is not impossible nor improbable
that in the course of centuries some hint
of secret which must be known to many
Indians should have leaked out This clew
does not carry one far, however, among the
peaks and caverns of the Andes, even if it
he trustworthy.

KEEP AN EYE ON KANSAS.
What tho Geographical Center Has Dome,
Dan DO and VIII DO.

Dan 10 anu Will 10.
II you want TO make the blood of a true
Kansan boil just say to him that the Sum
flower State has dropped back peg In the
march of civilization. Tom MoNeal, an
ex-state senator and humorist of more than
state fame, is particularly jealous of the
states fair name. "You can just say TO
the jays who are poking fun at Kansas"
he said TO a reporter, THAT whatever they
may think of her political conduct, wheth-
er they wear the sackclOth of tho defeated
or snort with the exultant voice of the
Victor, the unalterablo fact remains that
Kansas is still tho geographical center Of
the world, the linchpin of the universe.
Even the fact that half the people of the
world are at this time engaged In abusing
or defending her shows that she is built to
attract attention and invite contention.
The ordinary commonplace things of the
world do not attract attention; only the
little things of value invite contention.
"Kansas will in the future, as she has
in the past, overcome more difficulties,
create more surprises and make more ma
terial advancement In given time than
any other state in the Union.
"Kansas is the only state that ever grew
enough wheat i'm one season to furnish
bread for more than week for every man,
woman and child on the face of the globe,
from orient to occident and from Green
lands icy mountains to midas coral
strand She is the only state that within
"a hours can furnish climate suited TO
the tastes of the ice man from Iceland, tho
Pole from Poland, the Hol from Holland
or the tropical savage from Borneo in his
untrammeling suit of sunshine.
kansas is the only state that can mix
in the commerce of every cline and where
hot wind will affect the markets of
Christendom. Within the last ten years
the state has raised sufficient corn to fatten
enough cattle to drink up the waters of
Lake Superior and enough hogs to furnish
ham gravy sufficient Co float the United
States navy. She has enough natural gas
to supply the furnaces of civilization and
enough salt to make picking brine out Of
all the fresh waters of the globe.
"Keep your eye on Kansas and don't be
discouraged. She will profit by the agricul-
tural mistakes of the past and develop
along the lines that nature intended. -
