LONDON PAPERS AGITATED
Concerning the Stability Gt Powers in
China.
By Associated Press.

London, Nov 13.-The leading
morning papers are again agitated
concerning the stability of the concert
of powers in China. The attitude of
Germany and the United States meets
with dsapproval, the former because
Count Won Waldersee sent a column
to destroy the Ming tombs, an act
which is regarded as heedlessly vindic-
tive and the latter because it threat
ems to break up the concert.
The Morning Post says ut would
be unreasonable for the United States
to break up the concert because they
do not desire indemnity"
The Powers would probably be will
ing to consider Americas objections.
If, however the United States has in
view some new combination of powers
it would be necessary for Great Brit
ain and Germany to agree upon com
mon policy to be pursued in the alb
sence of a general agreement.

THE WHITE HOUSE is RICKETY
Staggering and Threatening to Col
lapse Result of It's Use
MS an Office Building.

In the plan for building new house
for the president elsewhere than on
the present site it has been proposed
to utilize the present mansion for Of
fees. writes Col. Theodore A. Bingham,
L. S. A., in urging the adoption of Mrs.
Harrison's plans for enlarging the
house. in Ladies' Home Journal.
One plea therefor has been that the
historic building should be left as it is.
This is certainly to be insisted on. But
it IS said the mansion is too pure a
piece of architecture to be marred by
additions. This, however, is a specious
argument. since the original design
contemplated side additions, and if the
building in its present state were used
as offices it would be wrecked in five
or six years. Those who have no eX-
perience with public buildings or with
this building in particular have no con-
ception of the wear and tear on a pres
ident's Office. 1t surpasses that on any
other Office in the country. The pres
ent executive mansion was lightly built
and is already expensive to keep in
proper repair. It's floor beams are not
strong enough to endure office use.
Great difficulty has arisen in the past
with the few rooms now used as the
presidents executive offices, and great
watchfulness has to be constantly ex-
ercised. Several times the floors have
threatened to break through. The
stairs have already broken down, one
fight being now supported by chain.
Still, to remodel for Office use only, the
whole interior of our historic executive
mansion would be not only very ex-
pensive matter, but would fail to meet
the requirements of the case, and, also
it is believed the approval of the coun-
try at large.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Some 100000 pounds of camphor
are consumed in the United States
yearly
Indian corn does not mature when
planted in Germany and other coun-
tries of central and northern Europe.
In spite of their unsanitary habits,
the Chinese often escape disease be-
cause their houses are well ventilated
and the children receive IA daily sun
bath.
''Eucain" is newly anaes-
thetic, by injection of which pain is
deadened to a degree that greatly pro-
notes the work of surgeons. Its sue
cessful use in Philadelphia hospitals is
reported.
The average depth of Russian petro-
leum wells is little over 900 feet. The
chief obstacle encountered is salt wa
ter, similar to the water of the Caspian
sea, which comes in through the loose
and sandy soil.
The large downtown hotels and res
taurants in Chicago are to attempt to
achieve economy by bulking their
forces and their efforts in the establish
ment of big cooperative laundry. No
outside "bundle" work will be accepted.
A basket modeler has been invented
by Mr.. Thomas Taylor, the superin-
tendent of the Liverpool school for in
digent blind, for the purpose of assist
ing blind people in the construction of
their baskets. The device consists of
a wooden Dashboard drilled with holes
into which are fitted steel pins ar
ranged to the required shape. The
wicker is then worked over these pins
with the utmost ease and rapidity.
Artificial eyes are supplied to all the
world from Thuringia, Germany.
Nearly all the grown inhabitants of
some of the villages are engaged in
their manufacture. Four men usually
sit at a table, each with a gas Jet in
front of him, and the eyes are blown
from gas plates and moulded into shape
by hand. The colors are then traced
In with small needles, no set rule being
observed in the coloring; and. as every
man uses his own fancy, no two arti.
fetal eyes therefore, are exactly alike

KAISER'S PRESS BUREAU.
Expert Readers Clip What He Reads
Each Day from the News
papers.

There is in Berlin a so-called literary
Office" attached to the Prussian min
istry of the interior, which for the last
two years has been under the manage
ment of Herr DIR. Won Falck, a Russian,
or rather a Baltic German, from the
Russian province of Kurland, who was
formerly chief editor of the Silesian Ga
zette at Breslau. His chief occupation
is to read the newspapers and make
extracts and cuttings from them, which
are pasted into book, the more impor-
tant or interesting articles being un-
derlined with red or blue pencil to
catch the monarch's attention. This
book is placed on the emperor's desk
The cuttings contain articles or ex-
tracts from articles taken from the
whole of the home and foreign press.
The emperor watches the foreign
press in Paris, London and New York
more closely than he does the German
press, says the London Mail. Everyone
acquainted with the German court
bears witness that he has a perfect
knowledge of the standing and general
attitude of the foreign newspapers,
particularly of those countries that in
terest him specially, for political or
other reasons. They are certainly more
familiar to him than are the great ma
jroity of the German papers. In this,
as in many other respects, William II.
resembles Frederick the Great, who
thoroughly mastered the international
| literature of his time, to the neglect OF
Prussian publications.

MARKET BOMBARDED
By the Bears, and Securities Broke
Severely.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Nov 13.-Today's relapse
in prices was quite vigorously contest
ed by the powerful interesests still
long of stock, and which fixed on d
considerably higher price level as de-
sirable to unload old holdings by spec.
ulative pools.
AS the result of the days trading
prices in the prominent industrals in
cludlng Sugar, Tennessee Coal, Steel
and Wire and Peoples Gas suffered
declines of three to four points. A
still larger list of industrials fell be-
tween two and three points. In the
railroad list not a few losses reached
between one and two points. The
more substantial commission house;
have been advising their customers to
take their profits and buy no more
stocks for the present Professional
operators, except some powerful spec
ulative pools, sold out on very extern
sive scale and have taken their profits
Since the election buyers outside of
the street have been unheedful of their
brokers' advice and continue to buy
the stocks without much discrimina-
tion. No amount of advice could dis
courage the outside demand to the ex-
tent to which the advance has gone
and made the market top heavy, filled
as it was with many speculative ac-
counts on light margins and backed by
weakening holders. Professional bear
spectators who have been alertly
looking for a moment of reaction ev-
er since Wednesday, found free sailing
today for a time not effectually alb
sorLed Their efforts were redoubled
when prices began to make wide de-
clines and stop loss orders dislodged
the fall thus precipitated.
The bears were quick to take profits,
causing frequent rallies as they cover
ed their short contracts. The total
shares traded in numbered 1,177 100
