Thought It an Enchanted Stone.

To the department of minerals in the Natural History museum at South Kensingtoa have just been added some meteoric stones picked up in British Central Africa. At one of the villages natives were found by the scientific officer sent to make an investigation squatting around the stone, discussing the miracle as they called it. No one would touch or approach it. and it was still lying where it fell when the official arrived He was told that the stone was enchanted, and each of the natives who sat at a distance round it gave a version of it's probable origin and meaning. The. largest of the frag- ments sent to London weighs twenty nine ounces, but one of the stones which was picked up near Chiropa's village weighs three pounds five ounces

ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
rnh Is the Field of a Naturalist's
 Work.

Work.
 Theodore Holm, a Dane, for many years botanist in the National Museum at Washington, concerns himself only with things above the clouds. He makes 1t his business to probe into the mysteries of nature in the remote heights Of the earth. How plants and lichens grow in rigorous climes, on the windy rocks of the snow-capped mountains and in the arctic circle is the special object of his research, and the comparison between plants at the poles and these on the tops of peaks is his special delight. His search for in- formation has carried him into all parts of the world. Three times ha has gone into the arctic circle, many times to Greenland and Iceland, and times without number to the North cape and the Lofoten islands. He has climbed the Norwegian mountains and has strange things to tell about the plants that grow on our own Pfke's peak. T have for long time been studying the subject of arctic fora, said MT. Holm at the Grand Central hotel. and during my studies have been in 6 great many parts of the globe. On several occasions I have been member of polar expeditions. In 1882-3 was with the Danish ship Dymphna, which took part in the in- ternational polar expedition, in which you will remember Gen. Greeley took part. Andre Hangaad was our captain, and for two years we drifted about the polar seas. caught in the ice foes. The Dutch ship Earna, which we met, kept us company, sank at the end Of the second year, but we saved the crew I began then3 as the agent Of the Danish government. to pursue the studies of eircumpolar botany. and since then have followed the work In Greenland, Iceland, America-in fact, all over the world. What has most interested me has been the comparison of plants found ia the polar regions with those found on the mountain tops. My work lies wholly above the timber line, and you will be surprised to see how many plants are to be found there. There are at least twenty species Of Towering herbs oIt the rocky and snow covered peaks, some of wonderful beauty and color None of them grow higher than an inch and most are only half an inch high. but they are perfect in their minuteness and of the most vivid hues. There is the Arctic pink and the Arctic dryas, both of exquisite shade and form. The Arctic poppy Is another flower worth hunting for on the treeless slopes, and so is the Arctic willow. The little lyeapod is series of plant that is found in both high and low places. It is said by most bot anists not to grow higher than 5000 feet. I have found it on the top of Pike's peak. 14000 feet. There 1t is half an inch high. Tn Florida it grows eight inches tall. There is miniature clover also to be found above the tim- Der line, and flower resembling the forget-me-not. so you see that the rocks which you are used to consid erlng barren are by no means so to one who has the eyes to look for the beauties that are there.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Prices Drop In Final Dealings "A Heavy
Close.


New York, Aug. 2S.-The accumula-
ton of short interest during the
steady decline which had continued for
rather more than a week. offered an
| opportunity to-day for a turn by the
bulls against the bear interest. The
demand from shorts proved sufficient to
check the declining tendency which
was in evidence in the early dealings
and to bring prices back to about last
nights level There the recovery stop
ped and prices dropped again in the
final dealings, making the close
heavy and letharglc. The market con-
tinued exceedingly narrow and the vol
ume of dealings fell back below yester-
days 100000 share level. The bulls
! found material for their brief turn in
| the railroad earnings reported for the
| day, in a reversal Of the dscouraging
tenor of yesterdays rumors regarding
| the sugar trade and in the declaration
of selni-annual dividend of per cent
dianapolis and Louisville. This prac-
tically constitutes re-entry of the
stock into the dividend list, dividends
having been suspended since March,
| 1899, when 1 per cent was declared.
| The bulls made the most Of the incident
and put the stock UP 4 IL points, the
common stock also advancing i "a.
There was continued pressure against
Sugar in the opening dealings, but the
stock rallied / 3-8 on a correction in
the European sugar cables, showing a
rise instead of decline in the price Of
raw sugars. This was taken to show
that American refiners were again in
the market as purchasers Of raw sugar,
and to indicate that the season of
active business for refining would ex-
tend beyond the usual period this year.
But the demand for sugar certificates
was satisfied with the covering of the
short interest and the stock closed with
a gain of only SIS. Nor
The statement for July of the Atchi-
SOS system was also made the most of
by the bulls. Net earnings increased
more than one-third over those for last

in operating expenses, compared with
decrease in operating expenses for
