The Stock Market.


 New York, July 5,-Wall street offer ed to-day one of it's most confusing markets to the outside observer or in experienced speculator. Yet the open ing burst of animation and strength, the subsequent reaction and the final conflicting tendency of individual stocks, all had their rational motives. At first view there was every reason to expect a strong and well sustained market throughout the day on account. of the glorious achievements of the United States navy and the imminence of a equalization by the Spanish forces in Santiago.
 There was a rush to buy at the open ing, and bears who had had the temer- ity to remain short of stocks over the triple holiday scrambled to cover. Lon don also bought quite eagerly. Conse- quently, stocks which had recently been under bear pressure, notably Peo- ple's Gas and Sugar, and the interna- tionals, showed the sharpest advances. But the fact was equally obvious that quite a number of stocks which have been pushed dp in the face of the recent lethargy were suffering from profit taking. After the urgent demand from the shorts had been satisfied the profit taking sales dominated, largely reduc- ing all the earlier advances and in many cases carrying prices well below last Fridays close. The chief sufferers were Brooklyn Transit, Rock Island and Burlington. Sugar also developed marked weakness before the close.
 It is a measure of the greatest confi- dence which has been felt in Admiral Sampson and his squadron that the &C., tual demolition of the Spanish squad ron should have been met by selling of stocks as an event that had been thor oughly discounted. It is quite possible that the later weakness represented in some degree a dampening of enthusi- asm caused by reports that the pro- jected bombardment and reduction of Santiago were to be postponed. There was significance in the fact that the opening of the new fiscal year and the usual large release of funds were not reflected in any marked pressure for speculation or investment in the stock market.
 This is indicative of the continued doubt as to the exact effect on the money market which will result from the taking up of the government loan on July 14.
 Bonds reflected more steady de- mand than did stocks and prices were more generally firm. The total sales were $2.500000.
 Closing quotations of government bonds were unchanged from those of Friday.

 Leaden shots are attributed to a Bristol plumber, who, one night about the year 17S3 had dream which was not all dream" that he was out in a shower of molten lead which fell in the form of spherical drops. His curi- osity being aroused, he went next day to the top of a church and poured some melted lead into a vessel of wa ter lying below. To his great delight, he found that the lead had gathered into beautifully formed globular balls, and he at once took out a patent.
 A Nuremberg glass-cutter happened to let some aquafortis fall upon his spectacle, and noticed that the glass was corroded, and softened where the acid had touched it. Taking the hint, he made a liquid, then drew some fig ures upon a piece of glass, covered them with varnish, applied his corrod- ing fluid and cut away the glass round his drawing. When he removed the varnish the figures appeared raised upon a dark ground; and etching upon glass was added to the ornamental arts.
 One day nearly three hundred years ago, a poor optician was working in his shop in the town of Middelburg, in the Netherlands, his children helping him or amusing themselves with the tools and objects lying about, when suddenly his little girl exclaimed: "Oh, papa, see how near the steeple comes!" Anxious to learn the cause of the child's amazement, he turned towards her, and saw that she was looking through two lenses, one held close to her eyes, the other at arms length; and calling her to his side, he noticed that the eye lens was plano-concave, while the other was plano-conyeX. Taking the two glasses, he repeated his daughters experiment, and soon dis covered that she had chanced to hold the lenses at the proper focus, thus producing the wonderful effect that she observed. His quick wit saw in this a wonderful discovery, and he at once set about making use of his new knowledge of lenses. Ere long he had fashioned a tube of pasteboard, in which he set the glasses at their prop CT focus, and so the telescope was in- vented.
