A Snow Hurricane.

The Duran, or snow hurricane of the
Pamirs is a meteorological phenome-
non Of great interest. Even in mid
summer the temperature during a
snow Duran frequently falls to Il de-
grees f., while in the winter of 1928
it dropped to 40 degrees below zero at
the end of January. The Duran comes
with startling suddenness, the atmos-
phere growing dark with whirling
snowflakes where scarcely a minute
before the sky was perfectly clear

Balloons In a Storm.

Mr.. Carl E. Myers, the aeronaut, in
discussing the question of aerial navi-
cation, points out one great advantage
Of the ballon over the aeroplane. The
latter cannot stop or hover in the air
and if caught in a storm may become
helpless.
The balloon, on the other hand, while
it cannot go against the wind, is safe,
even in tempest, provided no effort is
made to drive it in opposition to the
air currents. Even in a high wind the
balloon seems to the aeronaut to be be-
Gained.

They Brought Woe to France and
Changed the Map of Europe.
Tbs Princess Bismarck changed the
political history of France unwittingly,
and but for her the Franco-Prussian
war might never have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugene hoped with
her beauty to influence him so that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court, of
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
TuilerieS.
That evening there was grand re-
ception, and Eugene received the
guests in q gown which made her so
ravishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck German, stolid and in love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugene
was not slow to observe the effect Of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side. and Bismarck came with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt and ugly, and her feet were
generous. AS she walked she showed
a great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck,
who was quick as a flash, followed the
glance of their eyes and saw them rest
upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The politi-
cal history of France was altered from
that moment.
A year later, when Paris was be-
sieged, Bismarck himself fired can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were near him heard him shout:
"Take that for the feet of the Prin-
cess Bismarck!'
The slight was avenged.

CHIEF BLACK HAWK DEAD.
Famous Winnebago Indian Passes Away
at Brockway, Wis.

Famous Winnebago Indian Passes Away
at Brockway, Wis.
Black River Falls, Wis, Sept. g.
Black Hawk, aged 80 years, the most
noted of the chiefs of the Wisconsin
Winnebago Indians, died in the town
Of Brockway, a few miles from this
city. Black Hawk had been we'll
known in the western part Of WiscOn-
sin for the last fifty years, was always
q friend of the whites and on several
occasions prevented the WinnebagOs
from taking the warpath against the
palefaces.
The aged warrior was the last of a
famous line Of fighters. He was a
nephew Of the original Black Hawk Of
the wars of 1882 and fought in the bat
tie of Bad AK. When the Indian
forces were finally overthrown on the
shores of the big Mississippi the
young Sac warrior drifted nOrthWard
and soon became noted hunter in the
land of the Winnebagos. His proWess
and imperious ways soon made him
the absolute master of a large band of
the tribe, over which he ruled for many
years with an iron hand. He was pres
ent at the great council of the tribes
which assembled On the return of the
original Black Hawk. The young chief
openly accused his powerful uncle of
cOwardice when he said that the white
men were as countless as the sands of
the rivers. Black Hawk leaves no
heir. His only son was killed three
years ago in a fierce encounter with
Jim Swallow, a stalwart brave of the
WinnebagOs.

The stock Market.

New York, July 14.--There was short period of strength in some stocks this morning, but it proved insufficient to overcome the sagging tendency in the general market. The weakness of Brooklyn Transit coming on the dull market emphasized the reactionary ten- dency. The main cause of the general weakness was the increasing fear that money difficulties abroad would cause future trouble for the New York money market and would take out gold as soon as the local rate for money fell to a point where the London rate would prove attractive. Rumors were abroad all day that shipment of gold was con- templated for to-morrow's steamer, but up to the close none had been announc- ed Money worked easier here. call leans ranging from 3 to 5 per cent. The call rate in London went to 3 1-2 per cent. and the discount rate held at the Bank of England's minimum rate of 1-2 per cent. London sold moderately in New York, but gave good support to few favorites in the American depart ment of its own market. There was no
 
 rates, but sight bills showed a harden ing tendency while the sixty day bills were easy. Not so much confidence is felt in favorable bank statement for tomorrow. The amount of the loan contraction is an unknown quantity upon which depends the state of the surplus reserve. The banks have lost nearly $2,500,000 to the sub-treasury largely on account of heavy customs payments. They have gained a small amount on the regular currency move ment with the interior, but the large sums of money known to have been sent here early in the week from other east ern financial ceuters may have gone to other institutions than the banks and would thus not figure in the returns. These considerations prompted a pause in the buying movement in stocks, and the early strength in the southwestern group, the trunk lines and Northern Pacific gave way in the afternoon to de- cidedly lower prices. The talk of crop damage in the northwest affected the grangers unfavorably in the late trad ing. Losses from the top point in many active railroad stocks ranged from 1 to 2 points. Northern Pacific was marked up above last nights level in the final dealings, though it was little affected during the day by the report of an amic- able agreement with Great Northern n- terests Chicago Terminal transfer was strong on the reported sale to the AIeon syndicate. Brooklyn Transit was weak throughout on the prospects of a strike and closed at the lower, 2 1-4 be- low last night. The early strength in Sugar gave way to weakness and Rub Der dropped IA with a subsequent par tial recovery. Manhattan was marked up to 120 at one time on the theory that a surface railroad strike would add to its business. Covering by shorts was m element of it's strength. Missouri Pa cific reacted sharply and closed a point lower on the day. A number of special ties showed some strength during the lay on individual causes Cotton oil, National Biscuit preferred, Tin Plate. and Steel and Wire were among these. New York Air Brake gained 1-2 points.

We will live for each other, far from the noise of the world; we will take refuge in our mutual affection, in our love, grown still stronger in these tragical events. We will sustain each other, that we may bind up the wounds of our hearts; we will live in our chill dren, to whom we will consecrate the remainder of our days. We will try to make them good simple beings, strong in body and mind. We will elevate their souls so that they may always find in them refuge from the realities of life.
 May this day come soon, for we have all paid our tribute of sufferings upon this earth!

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
NEW FEITURES IN THE GENERAL
 TRADE SITU1TION.
All of an Almost Uniformly Favorable Character-Disturbin and UnsettIins Features Rare.
Features Rare.

New York, July 14.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: New features in the general trade situation this week are of an almost uniformly favorable char acter. So rare, indeed, are the disturb ing and ursettling features as to ne- cesstate considerable search to locate them. Additional statistics of past trade movements received are certainly of an encouraging nature, foremost among these being exceptionally good railroad earning returns for June and the first half of the year and ascer- tained totals of an enormous export trade, practically equal to the phenom- enal business of the preceding fiscal year. The record of railroad receiver ships for the firet half of the year bears 8 striking resemblance to the list of business mortalities, inasmuch as they are the smallest in number reported since receiverships first became prom inent.
 The price situation is naturally strong one, wheat and coffee alone of all the prominent staples being lower on the week and the former only frac- tionally so, owing to the large receipts at the west, and to the check to eX- port demand caused by reaction from the price reached some time ago. All of the cereals are higher, as are also pork and dairy products. Cotton Is al- so slightly bigher, Bradstreets estimate of damage to the Texas crop being generally regarded as conservative. Miscellaneous metals notably copper, tin and lead, are all higher on the week, and the boom in tin is attracting atten- tion second only to that noted in iron.
