STRONG PRESS0RE
 ON STOCK MARKET ItsAgain Succum3ad 'a ne Li-
 quidatioh. ALL RECOVERIES WIPED OUT There Was Nothing in the News of the Day to Account for Renewed
 Weakness Beyond Bad Bank Statement
ALL RECOVERIES WIPED OUT

New York, May 1.-The stock market succumbed again to the pressure of liqui- dation, which effectually overbore whatever elements of strength showed in the early trading, wiped out yesterdays recoveries and carried prices down in many instances to the lowest of lne week.
 There was nothing in the news of the day to account for the renewed weakness in stocks beyond the general supposition that tomorrow's bank statement will show a fur ther reduction for the surplus reserve. It was very evident early in the day that the demand from the outstanding short interest who had sold precipitately in the break of "Wednesday had been about satisfied.
 It is reported and credited in Wall street that the Pennsylvania road has placed loans during the week of some $10, 900 to 15,000,000, distributed among the various in stltutions If this rumor proves correct, there must have been a large increase in the reserve requirement. to be added to the actual decrease in cash, as the measure of decline in the surplus. Rates for money were not quotably changed in this market. Sterling exchange was firmer in response to higher discount rates in London, but no gold was engaged for export to London.
 
 ing gold from Russia and the complaint made in Berlin that some gold was also going from that center to London shows that London's call on New York for gold may be deferred

PUBLIC IN BACK GROUND

New York. May 1.-The cotton market was more active today with the general ruling of sentiment bearish under contin- ued encouraging news from the crop cen ter and persistent rumors that the leading bulls were withdrawing from the mar ket.
 The cables were also summed up as bear ish, and but few buying orders appeared from the public or foreign contingent. The room trade was disposed to show aggres siveness on small scale, devoting atten- tion to the fall and winter delivery The opening was quiet and easy, with prices unchanged to 3 points lower.
 Up to midday there was little variation ill values. but in mid-afternoon feeling of heaviness under forecasts for clear and mld weather oye the belt, and quicken ins of selling for both accounts. July and August failed to display their customary relative steadlness, rather leading in the downward course of the market.
 On the late irregularity the south sold the October and January options. The market was finally quiet and steady, with May points higher, and the other months unchanged to points lower.

Chicago, May 11.-Wheat dropped 114c to- day July closing at 65%c. The reported splendid outlook of the coming crop throughout the southwest and govern ment crop statistics were the main factors of weakness, which compelled liquidation. Indications of a heavier acreage planted than ever before, coupled with the decline in wheat, caused a slump in corn; July closed with loss of 11s@1A; oats lost 5s, and provisions from 21ato 121a.

Dogs in the German ARMY.

The dog seems destined to play an
important part in future warfare.
The German army is now provided
with large number OF four-footed
soldiers. The greatest pains are
taken to train the animals, and it's
usefulness was quite established at
last years maneuvers near Coblentz.
1t is employed in three ways. Its in
teiligence and keen scent are utilized
for discovering wounded men. The
st. Bernard would naturally be chosen
for Samaritan duties of this kind, but
the object is to choose smaller dogs.
which are less likely to be shot.
During the mnneuvers 200 soldiers
were ordered to fall wounded in differ
snt parts OF the forest. Five hun
dred ambulance orderlics were in
structed to find them. Twelve es-
capped their search, but these were all
scented out by four dogs, which, on a
repetition of the experiment saved 10
who would otherhwise have had no
help. The dogs are provided with a
little box full of refreshments and a
packet OF bandagGs. They are trained
to walt until the wounded man has
used these. and if he is too i'll to do

The effect of approaching storms

interesting contribution by Mr.. c. r,

Weather Review, 1t appears that

storms prevailed over the northern
district of Illinois. An observer In
Henry county, Mr.. W. w. Warner. no.

the numerous song birds in the dis

interest that Mr.. Linney wrote for ad.
d!tional information. with the result
that he received numerous letters,
some confirming it. others stating that
birds sing louder and more persistent.

al agreeing that they are more rest.

Build the house so that the heat may
be easily regulated, but do not attempt
to supply artificial heat by means of
stoves or heaters. Fowls subjected to
unnatural heat will easily contract
colds and in time become sickly. Let
the ventilation be so arranged that
when the weather mOderates the heat
may he at once reduced, and do not
force the fowls to stay at all times in

II the same conditions could be made

hens would lay equally well at all sea

things, vary SO much, it therefore rests
with us to supply, as nearly as posi-
Bile, those things which nature has de-
prived them of. Heat light, exercise.
pure food and water are most to be
considered, without one of which there
is no sure road to success. All else
hinge on these, and our profits will

FLYING Power of tho Humminr BIRD.
The humming bird flies as the Irish.
man played the fiddle--by main
strength-the frigate bird relies ON
his skill In taking advantage of every
varying current OF air. and the
skeleton OF the one indicates great
muscular power, while that of the
other shows its absence. No other
bird has such proportionately great
muscles as the h,mming bird, the
keel of the sternum or breastbone
from which these muscles arise runs
from one end of the body to the other,
while at the same time 1t projects
downward like the keel of modern
racing yacht. Tho muscles drive at
the rate of several hundred strokes

to which the driving muscles are
attached. Another peculiar feature
is that the outernost feathers, the
fight feathers or primaries, are long
and strong, while the innermost,
those attached to the forearm, are
few and weak; so far as flight is con-
cerned, the bird could dispense with
these secondarics and not feel their
loss. Finally, the heart. which we
may look upon as the boiler that sup.
plies steam for this machinery, is
large and powerful. as is necessary
for such high-pressure engine as
