CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Everybody has read in the natural
history books how the ungrateful
young cuckoo makes room in it's fos-
ter-mother's nest by evicting the right
full occupants, Matched and unmatched.
AS, however, few people have had the
good fortune to see a young cuckoo.
it has been rather difficult to under
stand exactly how the migrate man
aged to turn out eggs and squads. A
patient naturalist, John Craig, has
now solved the mystery, and in 1.-The
Feathered World there are two pho
tos, taken under his auspices, of a
young cuckoo in the very act of MUIR
dering step-brother. When the out

WHERE LIVINGSTONE DIED.

News has been received at the Royal
Geographical Society that the section
of the famous mpundu tree at Chitam-
bo's, which marked the place where
DR.. Livingstone died, has been sue
cessfully removed by Mr. Codrington,
Rhodesia, and will be sent to England
for preservation. 1t will be remem-
bered that two or three years ago Mr..
Poulett Weatherley, while exploring in
in the neighborhood of Lake Bangweo-
10, visited Chitambos and reported
that the mpundu tree was in an ad-
vanced stage of decay, and would pro-
badly disappear altogether in a very
short time. After careful considera-
ton the Royal Geographical Society
decided that the best course to pursue
would be to cut out the section of the
tree which bears the inscription and
have 1t sent over to London for pres
ervatlon at the rooms of the society
Mr.. Alfred Sharpe, Her Majestys Com
missioner in the British Central Africa
Protectorate, who was in England on
leave, undertook to have this done, and
on his return to Central Africa made
arrangements for one of his staff to
make journey to Chitambo's. But
the serious illness of the officer desig-
mated for that duty interviewed, and
this year Mr.. Sharpe intrusted the
task to Mr.. Codrington, whose duties
took him, in April last, toward the
Bangweolo district. Mr.. Codrington
In the beginning of June arrived at
the Tanganyika plateau and Informed
Mr.. Sharpe by telegraph that he had

Sir Alexander Armstrong, Discoverer
of Northwest Passage, Dead.
Sir Alexander Armstrong, whose
death in London is announced, was one
of the last survivors of the expedition
which discovered the Northwest Pas
sage. For three centuries the British
Government made Intellectual attempts
to find route from the Atlantic to
the Pacific around the northern mar
gin of the American continent. Twen-
ty-twO attempts were made in the six
teenth century, twenty in the seven
teenth and twenty-one in the eigh-
teenth.
Beginning in 1917 fifteen more at
tempts were made without success at
cost to the British Government of
more than a million pounds sterling.
Sir John Franklin headed one of the
expeditions, and, as he did not come
back, ship after ship was sent in search
of him. Sir Alexander Armstrong ac-
companied one of these expeditions,
being attached ito her majesty's ship
Investigator as surgeon.
The ship was finally left behind,
locked in the Arctic ice, and Sir Alex
ander Armstrong, together with other
officers, pushed their way eastward
over the ice fields. Altogether they
spent four years in the unknown Arc
tic. They found, however, that there

milton of their discovery the British
Government divided among officers and

Chinese Empress Wants More

TACOMA, Sept. 13.-Telegrams have
been received at Shanghai announc-
ing that several British missionaries
have been driven out of the city OF
PaOngan, situated 16O miles across the
border in Audone province, Thibet
over 5000 Lamas reside there, the ma
jority Of whom joined the anti-foreign
demonstration and drove the mission
aries out. The latter included Mr.. and
Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Macbeth For
several weeks previous to the final riot
the missionaries were compelled to
stay indoors. Details are not known
further than that the mission was de-
stroyed and the missionaries barely
night. The Paongan station was
opened two years ago without serious
opposition.
The Dowager Empress of China is
bent now on greatly increasing her
revenues. She wants money for many
purposes, but chiefly to increase and
equip her army. All mandarins have
been ordered to remit revenues
promptly and to increase them so far
as possible. This order is causing ter
ror among the poor, since it gives the
mandarins an opportunity for official
"squeezes. The Viceroy of Marking
has ordered all magistrates under him
to greatly increase their annual taxes.

Empress and Jung Lu for more money.

Prices in the stock market this morning
held up strongly and even advanced in
most cases during the entiEe session, but
business was dull and rather uninteresting.
Brokers and traders were away for the
yacht race and those who remained TO do
business did not care to venture heavily In
either direction. During the early part OF
the session the market waited for the bank
statement, and perhaps bought stocks some
what. discounting what many thought would
be a favorable showing The statement
was poor one, showingsa a further decrease
in the reserve which cuts the surplus down
almost to the vanishing point. But even
this had no effect on prices, the close be-
ing strong and around the highest prices for
the day. Money was easy again, the call
room rate being around 5 per cent for a
large part of the loans. The statement
figures are as follows: Reserves, decreased,
s1,0S1 $50; loans, decreased s3,590,200; de-
posits decreased, $4,205. AGO. specie, de-
creased, $3,4S4 600; legals, increased, ST.
351, 400; circulation, increased, $317, 800. 1t
may be expected that the opening of the
market on Monday will show recessions OIL
account of this statement. The absence OF
traders at the race today probably pre-
vented such a movement Immediately after
the figures were published. Later in the
week the shrewd people look for better
market, though still acknowledging that
professionalism is likely to play an impor
tant part with quotations for some time to
come.

STOCK DEALING LIMITED
The Trading at Today's Opening
Mainly Professional.
No Material Pressure Bearing on the
Standard Securities-The Granger
shares Among the Steady Features
of the Market-BrOOkIyn Rapid
Transit One of the Weak Issues.

NEW YORK, Oct THE trading in this
mornings stock market was limited in vol
ume and largely professional in character.
Prices were depressed at the opening,
chiefly in sympathy with the tendency of
the London market and on account of the
unfavorable disposition of the dealings here
in foreign accounts. The particular weak
ness in Brooklyn Rapid Transit was also
not without effect upon the remainder OF
the market. There was, however, no ma
terial amount of pressure evident in the
dealings in the standard issues, and after
a sharp recovery.
The bank statement failed to show the
heavy reduction in the loan account that
had been expected. The shrinkage there
was only So, $50, 600. Actual cash fell away
low the general estimates. The state
ment was far out of technical proof as
deposits shrank only s4,25O,000. In con-
sequence of the changes in cash and in de-
posits the bank surplus reserves were
reduced s1,0S0000, and they not stand
at ss43. .000 The statement was not fol-
lowed by any substantial changes in the
stock market as it seemed to be the COM
mon opinion that it did not reflect the ex-
tent to which the banks position has been
strengthened this week. s4J-
There was an utter absence Of any news
of importance over night either upon the

Marty the case on Saturday attention was
largely directed toward the probable show

of the days ventures was based upon the
general expectations in this respect. Steady
features of the market were the granger

coal stocks, and Chicago and Eastern Illi-
