CHICAGO, Dec. 7.--Wheat opened weak

factor. That market reported declines

traders prices being ssQild off at about the
time business commenced here. There
was little buying against the puts imme-
diateiy after the opening. which caused
temporary reaction in May, but selling
soon became too heavy and the price again
declined.
The feature Of the mornings trading was
the liquidation In December which was
which resulted in widening OF the dis,
count from lc to l12c under May. Com
mission houses Were, active sellers. 1t is
expected that after the close of navigation
now at hand, December deliveries will be
freer, and this undoubtedly influenced the
traders.
About IL o'clock the market became
steader on reports OF heavy clearances and
good cash and export demand and prices

in the Tram to north Greenland next summer a crew almost as queer as that engaged in the hunting of the Shark. It will consist of a naval lieutenant, a cavalry lieutenant, a geologist, a zoologist, a botanist, a doctor who is also a meteorologist, a steersman, a student, sea cook, marine can nonier," a harpooner, two machinists, and two stokers, but no plain sailor men. Only sixteen persons will take part in the expedition.
 ''Whuppity Scoorie" was celebrated at Lanark on March 1, as it has been for 300 years past. The school boys gathered at the burgh cross in the evening with their caps tied to a piece of string. At o'clock the church bell rang, when they marched round the church three times and then made rush for the Wellgate, where they fought the boys of New Lanark, using only the caps as weapons, and after driving their opponents back marched through the town chanting an ancient song of triumph

THE AMERICAN COAST LINE.
The Work of Surveying It Began
 Under Jefferson.

New York, April 4.-In a message to congress in 1907 Thomas Jefferson, then president of the United States, recommended the surveying of the At lantic coast line of the country with a view to it's adequate defense and also to the establishment of guides and safeguards to navigation. Congress adopted the recommendation of the president and made an appropriation of $50,OO0 for the purpose, the direc- tion of the matter being put into the hands of the secretary of the treasury, at that time Albert Gallatin, who communicated the views of the ad- ministration to ''the scientific men of the country" in a circular distributed in New York, Boston and Philadelphia chiefly. The plan adopted was to as- certain the positions of certain promi- nent points on the Atlantic coast by astronomical observations and to con- meet these by trigonometrical lines.
 The chief of the coast survey was a native of Switzerland and the work went on under his direction with oc- casional Interruptions caused by

WAR RISKS.

New York, April 1.-The marine un- derwriters today wrote large volume of risks for shippers and consignees who demanded the insertion of the war clause. The influence of the bank ing interests and the feeling that the peaceful atmosphere of Monday was superficial combined to put the war rate back where it was on Saturday. During the earlier hours of business today there was a tendency to lower rates, but there was a stiffening in f1uence which later forced the extra charge for the war clause to higher point, where it is now likely to re- main pending a material change in the situation at Washington.

changes of administration until 1S43, when he died. The work at that time had been finished from Point Judith, opposite Block island, to Cape Hen lopen, in Delaware. Since then the work has been prosecuted actively, but meanwhile it has been increased, particularly since the concession of territory on the Pacific from Mexico. The coast line of the country is now, according to the report just com pleted, nearly 5000 miles, the land frontage of the country on the Can ada and on the Mexican border line being only 1880 miles. The details of the American coast line are as fol- lows: 5,715 miles, embracing 2,349 miles on the Atlantic coast, 1856 on the Gulf of Mexico, and 1,81O on the Pacific ocean.
 It is an established proposition among authorities in naval warfare that the naval strength of a govern ment should be proportioned to it's coast line. That rule may be said to prevail pretty generally, though Russia which has relatively a small coast line
 on the Black. sea, has a large navy
 and Norway and Sweden, which have
 an enormous coastline, larger in pro
 portion to the population than any
 other countries in Europe, have very few warships. The coastline of the
 United States is nearly as long as tht distance from New York to Liverpoo
 and return by the ordinary course O.
 steamship travel, and it's protection against any possible attack has of re cent years secured more attention than was the case before the recon
 struction or more practically the con struction of the present American navy,
