NEW USE FOR TOY BALLOONS.

The increasing risk of collisions at
sea, with all their terrible conse-
quences, stimulates the interest that
would in any circumstances be aroused
by a rational proposal for reducing the
danger of death by drowning.

A F%renchman, M. Charles Janet, has
recently carried out experiments at
Beauvais with the object of proving
that by means of India rubber "bal-
looms" as children call them, which
may be carried in a very small COM
pass and rapidly filled with air in time
of danger, a person who knows moth
ing of swimming can keep afloat in the
toughest water.

Nothing could be more simple tl>an
the apparatus, and it can be put into a
box no larger than a lady's purse. It
consists of a yard or so Of whipcord,
to which are attached four balloons"
rolled up, and what is necessary for
blowing them out and keeping them
afterward air-tight. The balloons
should be filled to only about half Of
their full extent, so that they may
offer sufficient resistance to the waves.
This resistance Is very remarkable,
considering the lightness of the ma
terial. NJ. Janet's children having
fastened the apparatus just described
to the upper part of the body, jumped
into water thrown into violent COM
motion by the opening Of slNice-gates,
and although they were hurled into the
eddies and drawn under by the force
OF the current, their disappearance
was only momentary. whereas strong
swimmers in the same circumstances
would have run the risk of drowning.

New York, Feb. 28.-The market opened
active and with general advance over
yesterdays closing. After initial dealings
of selling long stocks and although fair
ly strong in the early portion of the day
did not advance materially. There was
a pressure to sell, apparent in the GranE-
er shares of which Burlington and Quincy
was the weakest feature, Northern Paci-
fic and Union Pacific were both strong and
active by buying of foreign houses. The
dealings in the Industrial shares were
particularly large in volume. The dealings
in the Industrial shares were particularly
large in volume, especially in Steel and
Wire and Federal Steel Steel and Wire
broke sharply, both common and pre-.
terred selling off This is only natural
following the strong advance of last week
and holders should have no uneasiness as
to the outcome. Around 1.30 p. m. q re-
port that Dewey had sunk a German war
vessel caused the whole market to sell of
sharply with free liquidation throughout
the list. As We have intimated for the
past few days the market has been over
bought and we think the large interests
Of the street have been sellers. Money
has become more Of factor in the situa-
tiOn each day and the smaller houses are
finding difficulty in carrying some OF the
Industrials which their customers seem
inclined TO buy. All this is affecting the
list to some extent and we shall not he
surprised to see the whole market sell off
somewhat further. In any great weak
ness however purchases can safely be
made of American Tin Plate, Ontario
and Western, American Steel and Wire

Railway. The Manhattan meeting today
authorized the issue of the SIS, 0OO. 900 OF
new stock. If the stocks position in the
market was Of an ordinary character we
would strongly advise its sale but from
What We can find out there is very heavy
short interest in it and under present
conditions it would be a very simple mat
ter to twist Aside from this there Is
nothing in the situation that can warrant
purchases Of Manhattan around these
figures We hope To be i'm position when
the time comes TO advise you where It
would be safe to make sales, but until
then 1t should be left alone. Market
closed weak and unsettled. Total sales,

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

BY Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 2S.--There was aver
age declines today from l to points
among the leading stocks, including
the railways, while in the case of Burl-
ingtOn there was an extreme decline
Of Az. The spccialties, although show
ing considerable strength at one time,
made extreme declines from the high
est that were generally large. In the
early trading there was small buying
by London and interests connected
with the steel stocks and also some
purchases Of Burlington. Realizing by
commission houses sent prices Off.
BurlingtOn's decrease of $4,000 in sur
plus during January had depressing
effect on the railroads, being coupled
as it was by realizing in Atchison on
the unfavorable Interpretation given
to it's January statement which ap-
pearcd late yesterday. The market
rallied and then declined again on talk
of the possibility of lighter call money
and on the circulation of a rumor that
the Americans had sunk a German
cruiser at Manila. There was a brisk
attack on values, stop loss orders be-
ing uncovered and considerable liquid
alton was induced. Prices picked up
when it became known that no such
disturbing Manila advices had been re-
ceiVed, but speculation became unset
tied again with the renewal of pres
sure. Sugar, which showed. early
strength on reports of the acquisition
of rival company, sold off on the
denial. Two things which in meas
ure would account for the weakness
of the market were that London sold
in the afternoon the stock purchased
earlier, and that two of the leading in
terests that had been prominent on
the bull sides We're said to be practic-
ally out of the market for the moment
and let some of the stocks with which
they had been identified shift for them
selves. Total sales We're sos, 7Q9 shares.
General weakness marked the bond
trading today with the active issues
reissuing smartly. Total sales $415O,-
