Wool.

BOSTON. May 27.-The Commercial Bulletin
will say tomorrow of the wool market The
week has brought an increase in activity to the
market in addition to government business. This.
too has increased in proportion since the call for
5000 more troops was issued. ana altogether the
total sales make quite respectable showing.
The local market has shown an appreciable gain
in irmness in sympathy with the continued
strength OF Western markets and on account of
increased business through government contracts
coupled with an awakening trade along ordinary
channels Prices in the West are yet above the
parity Of local rulings and the late advices indi-
cate still greater frmness. The sales of the week
were 1924 900 lbs domestic and $4,000 foreign.
against $780, coo domestic and 1886 900 foreign last
week and 200 lbs domestic and 2.965,000 foreign
for the week last year The sales 10 date show
decrease of 40 500 lbs domestic and S. els, 100
foreign from the sales to the same date in 1897.
The receipts to date show decrease Of 66,Sge
bales domestic and 300. SOC foreign.

INJUSTICE TO TRAINMEN
PRESENT METHODS OF EXAMINING
EMPLOYEES CRITICISED.
Freight Rates, Except CoSn, to BE Re-
Corn and Corn Products June 15.

A railway official who attended the ses-
sions of the Claim Agents Association says
there were two addresses made which
should be placed in the hands of every rail-
road official; one was that of DIR. Outten.
chief surgeon of the Missouri Pacific lines,
man who is looked upon as authority in
surgical circles He criticised severely the
methods of examining trainmen for color
blindness and defective hearing, practice
which gives employment to number of
oculists and aurists who, in many cases,
are incompetent to make examinations. He
pronounced it not only absurd but cruel to
take an engineer off his engine as being in
competent who had run twenty or thirty
years without accident, and who is as capa-
BILE of running an engine as at any time
since he was given one, because he could
not tell the exact color of a skein of
worsted There are three colors the train
men must know perfectly, and not in one
case in hundred would the trainmen fail
TO name them correctly when examined. AS
TO defective hearing, trainmaster or some
man of his appointment examines the train
man, and If he does not hear a watch tick
and is not able to tell how many times it
ticks in minute he is declared incompetent
as an engineer. When on an engine every
nerve in the man is exercised, and he will
instantly hear any sound or any defect in
machinery which would be revealed by
sound. The engineer might be little de-
fective in hearing when off his locomotive,
but when on the machine his hearing would
be perfect. Another address was that Of
General Manager Loree, of the Pennsyl-
wanna lines. His ideas of policing railways
and the results policing had accomplished
on the Pennsylvania lines were highly in
teresting and instructive. especially the
best method of protecting roads against
krespassers on rights of way and on trains.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK. May 27.-Continued wet weather
renders the dry goods market still an unsatisfac-
tory There is practically store trading from
day to day and in lieu of mail reports came re-
ports of the unreasonable weather and consequent
dullness in retail and jobbng centers. There has
been continued demand for goods for export and
prices have been well sustained in these lines In
consequence. But 1 infer from these sales. the
business passing is very light. There is no i'm
pTovement in the market for wooden goods In
staple cottons the market is quiet. There is
strength to the brown goods market owing to the
export demand. Heavy weight sheeting and wide
goods in very good shape and are bringing
very fair prices. Print cloths inactive. Printed
goods again dull in all departments.

A BRACE OF PARADOXES.
Two Ode and Interesting Little
Problems for the Young Folks
to Ponder Over.

Paradox No. If you started from
Chicago and walked due west, and it
were possible for you to walk on un-
interruptedly in the same direction,
how far could you walk without ever
deviating from your due westerly
course, and where would you arrive
finally?
''Oh, that's easy!" you exclaim. 81
would walk around the earth and ar
rive back in Chicago"
Very well. Let your answer stand
for the present, and take this: Two
geese are here in Chicago, one stand
ing facing the east and the other
facing the west, and at the same mo-
ment they start and fly directly as
they faced. the one east and the other
west. How far do these two geese
travel before they meet face to face?
Ask your friends to help you solve
this. They will probably take hold
with avidity, and the answers they
give you will be amusing. You your
self probably think it's easy-too easy,
in fact, to worry about. Half way
around the world, you say? Well, you
are mistaken. The correct answer de-
ponds altogether upon the distance
which separated them in Chicago when
they started. For it does not follow
that the two geese, when one stands
facing the east and the other facing
the west, are back to back. They may
be face to face. Do you catch on?
Paradox No. 1.-Two persons are
born at exactly the same moment in
the same town. Fifty years later both
died at the same instant in the same
town, yet one of them had lived 100
days more than the other.
Now, do not ask your friends to help
you solve this problem, as you did with
the preceding one. Buckle down to
it yourself, right now, without read
ing any farther. No; there is no catch
in it; it is plain, straightforward
proposition and though it is labeled
paradox" it may not be paradoxical
in the least when you read the eX-
PLANTATION, which is this: Each of these
earth, one of them always travelling
to the west and the other going always
in the opposite direction. Now, he
who went west around the earth lost
a day on each of his trips, and in so
trips was so days behind the station
airy stayat-home inhabitants of his
native town. He who Travelled by the
east gained one day by each trip. One
of these men, therefore, had seen 100
days more than the other, though they
were born and also died in the same
village at the same moment, and reck-
oned time by the same calendar.-Chi-

Lighter Than Aluminium.

German experimenters have sue
ceeded in producing an alloy of alum
mum, the precise composition of
which is not revealed, that is said to
be superior in many respects to pure
aluminium. The statement is made
that this alloy, which goes under the
name vestadium, weighs only one
third as much, bulk for bulk, as alum
mum. It is white, can be easily pol
ished, and does not tarnish on ex-
posture to the air. - Youths Com
