TREAsURY sTATEMENT
SEEKS TO sUPPLANT cows.
w. j. Cook Has an Invention fOl
Making Artificial MILK

Making Artificial Milk.
W. J. Cook is a carpenter and never
MIXED a COW in his life. The only
specimens Of the bovine species he
has seen are the property Of residents
Of Hyde Park and Englewood. He
claims to be unable to distinguish be-
tween the mooley, Jersey, Hereford
and Durham breeds. The milk which
was once delivered at his home, 6039
Champlain avenue, came from a dairy
man who permitted his herd to Craze
within the boundaries of Chicago, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
Mr.. Cook has an invention which
will probably do away with the need
Of COWS. He has hit on a combination
of chemicals which looks like milk,
tastes like milk and has all the nutri-
tive qualities of milk. Mr.. Cook aims
at more than the mere relief of bo-
vines of the demands which have been
made on them since time immemorial.
He believes that they were never In
tended for the uses which the needs
of centuries have claimed from them,
but should be beasts of burden or OBJ
jects of endearment to man.
Members of the labor exchange in
Englewood experimental with the ar
tificial milk yesterday, and pronounced
it superior to the article that has been
delivered at their homes Mr.. Cook
brought along a five gallon can of his
manufacture, and could easily have
distributed as much more among the
occupants of the quarters. He gave
each a glass of the beverage and then
sent out for an equal quantity of ma
tural milk. Labor men seemed to like
the kind that Mr.. Cook provided. and
declared that some provision must be
made at once for the COW, or she might
be relegated to the top shelf of the
museum along with the megatherium
and the mammoth.
Before the members of the branch ad-
jourend their meeting Mr.. Cook performed
a wonderful experiment. He sent downstairs
two glasses of milk. In one was the natural
staple and the other contained the compost
ton. They were permitted to stand in an ice
box, and were produced after a stipulated
had twice the amount of cream on it's surface
possessed by the quality provided by natural
means after passing through the mysteries
of the dairy.
He said he could not afford to take chances
on his scheme being stolen until 1t was prop
erly patented. He explained that his product
could not be surpassed for the flavor of butter
and cheese that could be secured by the usual
processes. He told the labor men that he
could provide them after his apparatus was
completed with superior quality of milk
for cents a quart He even volunteered TO
have the article brought to their houses in
aTistocratic bottles.
When seen at his home. in the evening. Mr.
Cook said that a chemical analysis had shown
that the artificial milk equal to the best
grade of the natural staple. He mentioned
three other residents in the vicinity as being
associated with him in the invention. 1t is
probable that company will be Incorporated

THE WORLDS LARGEST CANNON
1t Weighs I26 Tons and Sends Il Pro-
jectiIe Sixteen Miles

The largest gun ever built in the world is
now being constructed at the Bethlehem Iron
works. This enormous piece of ordnance Will
weigh when completed 126 tons. 1t will ex-
coed by six tons the weight of the monster
gun which Krupp of Germany, exhibited at
the worlds fair in Chicago, and in length it
will be nearly five feet longer than the Ger
man gun.
This monster gun is being built under the
superintendent Of John F. Meigs, formerly
a lieutenant of the United States navy and
a standard artillery authority in this coun-
try. With him is associated Capt. E. L. Ia
linski, U. S. "A. (retired). The government
inspection work is in the hands of Capt Ira
McNutt. of the ordnance corps of the army
All three gentlemen are on the ground and
personally see to every detail Of the immense
undertaking as it progresses.
The intention of the war department, it
is announced, is to mount the great piece on a
specially built foundation on Romer Shoals.
The protection for this gun will be turret
which will wholly inclose the crew and the
greater part of the gun. From its position
on ROmer Shoals the great piece or ordnance
will have full sweep of the channels lead
ing into New York harbor. There is not, 1t is
declared, a vessel af1oat today with armor of
sufficient strength TO resist its shot. John F.
Meigs estimates that blow from the new
gun would have a striking energy equal to
that Of a 200O-ton ship when running at full
speed. The shot from the gun, he adds, would
smash, crack and batter down any armor
which it would be possible for ship to
carry.
Inc CAMPER Will De sixteen Ihcnes' Inc
length, from breech to muzzle, will be 40
feet inches. Through the breech in a verti-
cal line the gun will have a measurement of
exactly five feet Mr.. Meigs computes the
weight of shot for the gun at little
over 1900 pounds. That means more than a
ton Of metal. The heaviest shots fired in Eng
land have not weighed over 1000 pounds.
The powder charge for the American gun
will weigh nearly 900 pounds. Provided eX-
IRENE elevation for range could be obtained
a shot from the New York harbor gun should
be able to travel more than sixteen miles

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-The stock market
was almost inert today and drifted under no
very well defined motive towards a lower

a rather depressing influence on that finan-

the stock market followed that lead. Deal
ings were on very small scale, and the
movement of prices outside Of few special

took on a rather subdued aspect and brought
its variations within a range OF points,
extraordinary moderation for that eccentric
stock Metropolitan was notably strong and
continued its advance of yesterday to, the
extent of two points addition. The local
political situation is cited as being likely to
inure to the benefit of this property. There
was no other notable feature in the market.
The declining tendency seemed to be some
what checked at the last and the closing
showed some recoveries on short covering.

MARKET SUMMARY.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-A declinig tendency,
due principally to lack of accumulative &C
dvity, characterized business in all the grain
and provision pits today. At the close wheat
showed declines of Ac in December and 5sc
in May. Corn declined Ease; oats. 58c for
December and A69sc for May. Provisions
declined 5G1Oc. Wheat opened dull and &c
lower on account of Liverpool dropping the
larger part of yesterdays sudden and eX-
traYagant bulge. 1t continued dull except for
about fifteen minutes in the middle of the
session, when the duh feature of the mar
ket was seized upon as a sufficient sign that
a bear raid might be successful; and it was
to a moderate extent. The Minneapolis and
Duluth receipts were 1012 cars, against 1,230
the preceding Saturday and 7S5 the CORE
spending day a year ago. Chicago had 1873
cars, against 131 a week ago and rs cars last
year. The weeks c,earances of wheat and
-four to Europe from both coasts of the
United States and Canada were, with one
exception. the heaviest record. They
amounted to 6653, 1872 bu. against 5,445 600 Blu
the week before and 1887 900 bu on the like
week of the previous year. Argentina did
not ship any grain to Europe this week, but
a cabegram from Liverpool Corn Trade News,
stating that Argentina was offering new
crop wheat for March shipment at SO shil
lings a quarter, or 99c per Blu, was one of the
most bearish features in the news of the day.
1t was also very generally believed that yes
terday's peculiar advance at Liverpool was
due to buying orders from Chicago. Con-
ttnental markets were steady to firm. Ant
werp quotations were unchanged and Paris
was 20 centimes higher for near and 10 CEN
times up for late deliveries. Export clear
