the present full value of money, and
We believe that they will increase rap
iuly as soon as the feverish speculation
that is seeking to make millions out of
nothing shan have run it's course A
few of the substantial securities may
now be commanding more than their
actual value, but as a rule the sound
est securities of the country are not as
nigh as they will be before the close of
the year. There Is no craze that Is
more unreasoning than the craze to
make millions out of nothing. We are
now witnessing such a craze at the
very zenith of it's career. and il is
only a question Of a short time when

Any industrial corporation that has
not been organized on the sound basis
of fun paid-up stock. and that has not
an established business, exhibiting
profits equal to p fair return on the
capital invested, should be carefully
avoided by all who do not wish to lose
their money. 1t is possible for them
to buy these worthless stocks and get
out with a profit before the revulsiDn
comes. but all such rrvulsions come as
suddenly and Unexpectedly as a thun-
der-clap from an unclouded sky, and
when they come, the shares held bv
the rash investors soon become absl-
lutely valueless.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-04-01

There are a number of companies on
the market today whose shares sell up
to an aggregate of millions of capital
which are not earning a dollar, aud
most of which Will never earn profit
Now and then one may chance to sue

that there is not one in a dozen If
these purely speculative industrial cor
porations that will not in the end cost
the shareholders just about all the
money they have invested in it, In
point of fact they are not expected by
the projectors to earn money or to pay
dividends. They are organized to
make millions out of nothing, cXSect-
ing that the high tide of speculation
will enable them to sell the shares and

There are millions of money now be-
ing made out Of what is practically
nothing. The present rage is for indus
trial corporations. and little more than
a shoe-string is needed to organize a
company with a capital of millions and
float it on the market. The shares are
not bought because anybody supposes
they are valuable. but because 1t is
believed that they will be forced by In
terested spectators to largely increas-
ed prices, and all expect TO take their
profits and get out before the crash
comes. There are n score or more of
industrial companies with their shares
now on the market, and selling UP in
the thousands of shares each day,
which have hardly the sembance of
basis Of substantial value, but the
speculation-stri multitude rushes
for the shares, hoping to make a pro-
fitable turn and leave the crash to fall
upon those who succeed them as share
holders.

PerilS Involved in
0y.er-speCdIation
From the Philadelphia Times.

m NE of the evils of the general
prosperity that largely in
creases all legitimate values, is
" the tide of reckless speculation
that ever follows such financial condi-
tions. and at no time in all the history
Of the past was this evil more con-
spicuously presented than it is today.
We do not speak of substantial values
such as certain interest and dividend
paying bonds and stock. Most of
them have not yet reached as high a
point as they probably will reach be-
fore the close of the year. The pres
ent value of money is little more than
half what it was a score Of years ago,
and certain securities which pay 4 per
cent, are now considered profitable in
Vestments for money. The reason
why the best securities have not vet
reached the highest point is in the fact
that millions of capital are now devot-
eu wholly to speculation in securities
which, as a rule, are without either
present or prospective actual value.

level and almost open "veld" over
which the two republics spread, the
Beers have left two physical allies
famine and fire
Water in South Africa is often as
precious as gold and sometimes in
fnitely more precious. Every year
witnesses a terrible drought 1 n some
part. One may journey 100 miles on
the HKaroo'' and never find a drop
of water. In Johannesburg the
writer was glad to pay "a cents o a
quart. Nearly the whole city was
drinking bottled and imported min
eral waters at the time.
Scarcity of water is the curse of
that country. Every farmer main
tains a reservoir, but even these give
out. There are only two or three
large rivers in the whole country
and in the dry season even they de-
generate into shallow pools. These
are called pans and serve to quench
the THIRST of wild animals. The
Transvaal and Free State are high
plateaus that the sun bakes to a
crisp and where the water evapOr
ates as it falls.
The Beers, however, being &C
quainted with the country, have a
knowledge of the formation of the
rocks and plants and know where
to dig down a few feet and get wa
ter. In this way a command a al
ways secure enough water to make
coffee their only drink. With COT
fee, biltong and mealies the Boer
can campaign forever.
Coffee he drinks four times a day
and so hot that if ''thrown on a dog
it will take his hair off" Biltong is
a strip of meat, buffalo, OK or bar
beeste. dried in the wind or sun. 1t
! seems to have peculiar nonrish1ng
properties. Mealies is like our In
! dian corn. The Boer starts off on a
months hunting trip with a KNAPP
sack full of these commodities and
gets stronger every day. Tommy
Atkins or any other European sol
der cannot do it
Before the English can reach Pre-
toria they must fight over a distance
as great as that from New York to
New Orleans. There will be no for
age, no water, I'D the Beers will
harass them by day and by night.
Ine Obnef greaG physical ally OF
the Boer is the prairie fire.
Nearly the whole South African
plateau is covered with long. slen-
der grass which, under the fierce
sun, is often dry as finder. Nothing
can live In the weld fire, and in its
passing it leaves a desert. Under the
cover of smoke that arises the Beers
can utilize that strategy for which
they + famous.
