BRIEF NOTES OF NOTABLES.

Senior Manuel Garcia, the oldest profess
sor of music in the world, was born 81
years & in Spain.
Don Climaco Calderon. the new CO.
Ilombian minister at Washington. is 40
years old. He speaks English luently
and without a trace of foreign accent.
Prince Christian Victor. eldest son of
Prince Christian. is very popular in the
service. He comported himself with dis
~tinction during the Soudanese campaign.
Major-General w. Salmond, G. B.. to
whom has been granted a distinguished
service reward, joined the English army
~forty-tWO years ago, and attained his
present rank in 1856.
Visount Esther, master of the rolls in
the Cour of Appeals in London, 81 years
Old, was a famous athlete in his younger
days, rowing in the winning Cambridge
crew at the university boat race in 1899.
Mrs. Rathbone. wife of Major Estes c..
Rathbone. Director of the Posts of Cuba,
was one or the organizers of the Daugh-
ers of the Revolution in Ohio, where her
husband was at one time a member of the
state senate.
Perhaps the only woman who has act
ually commanded a regiment of soldiers
is the Princess Victoria Melita of Hesse.
who IS the colonel of the Third Hessian
Life Guard Infantry, by the favor of her
husband. the Grand Duke Ernest Louis
of Hesse. The appointment of the Prip-
cess is by no means purely honorary. She
knows all about tactics, and often leads
her regiment in person in It's evolution
The Princess looks quite like a soldier in
her uniform, which she is said to be fond
of wearing. In case of war it is hardly
to be expected. however, that the Prjn-
cess would be allowed to lead the regi-
ment into battle, though there is no doubt
the soldiers would do wonders under he
inspiration of her eye.

IT WAS THE WRONG HAT.

when James Voorhees,, prominent in
washington as the actor. author, sculp-
tor, statesman, son of the late Senator
from Indiana. was private secretary to
governor Blue Jeans Williams of In
diana, General Manson once came into
the governors office. General Manson
was auditor of the state. He died not
long ago IN Terre Haute. He was short.
put corpulent. bald of head, but long of
beard, which latter was white and
reached to the middle of his waistcoat.
me governor was nearly seven feet
tai, as lank as Lincoln. with long, bony
hands. odd-sized feet and large ears. He
was always clad in blue jeans, grown.
spun, woven. dyed and mad on his own
farm neaer Nicennes. His chief fame was
ms economy, and the fact that he had
defeated General Harrison for the office.
The general was a typical Western man
or the world. an ex-congressman, and he
knew lie. n governor was a farmer
py profession and congressman and gov
ernor by accident.
Tie day that the general visited the
governors office he asked a political ia
vor for a friend. The governor hesitat-
ed. and at length refused. Thereupon the
general picked up a hat. pulled it down
over his ears and stumped out of the
room in rage. When he reached his W
office he said:
II tell you. boys. the old man says
NO. That's what comes of electing a
man governor who wears a No. 5 hat
and No. shoes. Bah!'
At this moment young Mr.. Voorhees,
came IN suave. soft-spoken and smooth.
General Manson" he said. 1.-The gov
ernor desires me to present his compile
mehts to you. and he begs me to say
that he is always glad to welcome you to
ms office. You may ave your choice of
chairs, put your feet on any desk you
please, bu he draws the linz on you
wearing off his new hat"
"What!' exclaimed the general. as he
slipped oft the soft hat which fitted him
SO loosely.

If the power Of living things depends
upon latent forces in matter, then per-
haps these forces nay be able to affect
an organism in their. turn-possibly

time for exercise a marked effect upon
it's development.
A remarkable experiment has been
tried with an egg which was being
Matched. It was found that an electric
current OF sufficient strength to kill the
FOWL did not destroy the vitality Of the
germ of the egg. But the chicken when
Matched was an abnormal shape and
monstrous in appearance. These facts
prove that the organization or a growing
Trims IS influenced by the impress Of a
force upon it before it reaches maturity.
The Massachusetts Agricultural Col
'lege has proved that electricity stimu-
lates the growth of plants. Mrs. Ana S.
Kinney n has made experiments for three
or four years. They prove that a seed
planted in the ground does not grow as
qulkiy as one rushed in it's development
by electricity.
Two lots of twelve groups eeah Of 112
seeds, We're soaked in water and placed
INTO cylindrical glass vessels open at each
END. Inc receptacles had dipping into
them copper disks to which a current was
appiled. The seeds were kept at a tenn
perature of from As to so degrees.
The seeds treated electrically grew 30
per cent. quicker than those treated in
the regular manner. A great percentage
or seeds used in farming are wasted. as
a rule, and no effort Is made to save them.
They rot or dry up. BY the above process
termination is started beforehand, thus
increasing the chances of growth.
An electric clock performed the serv-
ice automatically of allowing the current
to AFFECT the seed once an hour for about
thirty seconds. Slow growing seeds grew
rapidly after the treatment.

These are all points worthy of i~nvesti-

the canal particularly the farmers of
the far west and southwest, ridicule these
arguments.
Those who desire to transport their pro-

Nearly a million dollars worth of gold
/ and over two hundred thousand dollars

Greater New York.
No one ever thinks of stealing it, and
indeed until some inventive thief comes
along the owners need awe no fear, be-
cause the wealth is securely glued down
and generally from ten to one hundred
feet above the sidewalk, ~
1t is on the signs of the city. Gold and
silver leaf, far purer than the metal
which Uncle Sam uses for MS CONS,
amounting in value to over 500, 900 a year
is used on the signs of that city. One
brewery alone spends $780, 900 annually for
gold and silver leaf. Next to the brew
ers the cigar manufacturers go IN most
extensively for gold and silver signs,
while a good authority has estimated
that on the windows and above the doors
of New York's drug stores there is
enough gold to tempt any number of
thieves.
Business men are no longer content
with oid-fashioned painted signs. The
manager of a large sign-making firm
estimates that in Greater New York
there is represented fully So, 900, 900 in
signs Of various kinds. exclusive of let
tering on the thousands of office doors.
No substitute is to be had for gold or
silver lOf SlSH-leilcIlHS loI the pure ZEAL
is most lasting and easy to handle.
The value of one of those hin little
sheets of gold, carefully folded in tissue
paper, is almost insignificant, but a SIN
gle gold letter six inches square costs on
an average 2o cents.
The saloons, cigar stores and drug
stores boast of the most ella borate signs.
This is due to the fact that the brewers,
cigar manufacturers and patent medicine
firms are by close competition compelled
to furnish the sign or stand a good share
of its cost.
4 have in mind one brewery that has
spent nearly $780, 900 with gold -bea tiers
within the last four years" said a pioneer
sign-maker, land evidently finds giving
away gold profitable. If all the signs in
New York were made into a huge bonfire,
the ashes sifted and separated, 1t is safe
to venture the opinion that more gold
would be found at the bottom thar a
dozen miners could find in the Klondike
in a dozen years."

MINING STOCK MARKET.
Brokers Look For An Improvement
After New Years.

The holidays materially interfered
with the stock market during the past
week. The demand for stocks was
light, as is always the case during the
last week Of the year. 1t was the
cleaning-up time for everybody. and
both buyers and sellers shaped their
affairs for the beginning of business
after the new year.
Prices have ruled lower during the
past week as a natural consequence of
the light demand. An exception has
been Lower Mammoth, which has been
held up to so cents and better. DAILY
West sold up to 1920 at the beginning
of the week and dropped down to s12.0T
during Fridays call. There is no good
reason for the drop in the stock, I'M
less it was a few holders ran short of
cash and waited until the last moment
to convert the stock into ready money.
Brokers look forward to a brisk
business again after the New Year. and
a general Improvement all along the
line in stocks. Many of them have
closed the year at bedrock, so the
chances of a general rise in prices is
bright.
There was no call on the stock ex-
change on Monday and Saturday. Dur
ing the other four days the sales were
registered as follows:

MINING STOCK INVESTMENTS
KNOWLEDGE, JUDGMENT AND
FORESIGHT REQUIRED.
Experience Absolutely Necessary For
the Profitable Transaction of Min
ing Stock Deals.

There is perhaps no avenue of invest
! ment which is so beset with the chances
of loss. through ignorant or careless
though Observation-Disclosures as in
vestment in mining shares. In order to
achieve the greatest possible success in
such investments. it is absolutely
essential that the broker who makes
/ the transactions has extensive ex-
! perience and that he be possessed
of more than the usual amount
of judgment, caution, foresight and
sagacity.
These qualities are all present in a
very marked degree in Mr.. E. w.
Young. a banker and broker who has
! recently located in Salt Lake City and
who, for the past ten years, has been
conspicuous figure in the mining in
dustry in Colorado. and who is Web
known all over the west, as one of the
best and most successful operators who
ever set foot in a mining exchange.
Mr.. Young has handsomely equipped
offices in the Mccormick building and
has installed the latest improved long
distance telephones to facilitate BUSH
ness and TO afford instantaneous COM
munication between his offices and the
floor of the exchange, and as he makes
a speciality OF out of town business, he
has introduced special facilities for
handling that class of business

is one who is competent to successfully
advise his clients as to when and what
to buy or sell. Mr.. Young has ac-
cumuiated a good-sized fortune in the
mining business and his knowledge and
Judgment are we'll and favOrably
known. Some months ago, Mr.. Young
bought seat on the Salt Lake Stock &
Mining Exchange. He is recognized as
one of the smoothest and best posted
operators in the business and as he
personally transacts the business for
his office, on the floor of the exchange,
the Interests OF his clients are sure to
be- carefully represented There are
few brokers who possess the ability
of Mr.. Young, in floor work.
A feature of his banking business is
that he makes loaEs TO any amount on
listed mining stocks, bonds or other
negotiable securities. His financial
standing is an enviably high one He
has ample capital. which enablns him
to successfully swing any enter Use in
which he may engage He is a member
of the American Bankers association
and has correspondents in all of the
large cities and mining centers of the
United States. He has no stocks of his
own to promote and those who are in
terested in mining stock Investments
will make serious mistake if they do
not call on. or write him for informa-
ton and advice.
