The railway securities were strong and
even buOyant this morning. all showing
small gains before II o'clock. but by con-
trast quick tumbles in the prices Of many
OF the speCislties seemed even more pre-
Cipitate In all the bear markets OF the past
year there has never been any such contin-
uous and tremendous tumble as that in
Third Avenue during the past few weeks
Today before the first half hour had passed
IL was selling a fraction above 81, or 10
points below the close yesterday There
has been Just such a movement every
morning for a week or more. a few days
ago the stock was selling 80 points
above its present level. Two OF three
months ago il was 100 points above the
low price OF today. A year ago il was
nearly 200 points higher. Probably in the
whole history OF the New York Stock Ex-
change there has never been such tum-
bic. But although Third Avenue is the
most violent in its brsak Sugar Is not FAR
behind. II sold within a point of par this
morning and seemed quite able TO 10 below
100 before the end OF :he day. Metropoli-
tan went as low as SO. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was weak and so was Manhattan.
Here IL might almost be said there was a
sharp dividing line between the weak
stocks and the strong. In 10 recent mar
ket has there been such a marked distinc-
tion between different groups OF securities.
Predictions are Of little value in such a
market. Whether tSe weakness and fore
ed liquidations in the specialtes will fl
nally cause break ia he railway securi-
ties as well. or whether the strength OF
the coalers, the grangers. and many other
standard securities Will cause the bears
TO cover in the specialties cannot be fore
seen by the shrewdest o. market critics.
II should be said. however, that the
chances favor the bulls, for the reason
that the very violence OF the break in
Third Avenue and the others has probably
carried them below where the Oears hoped
at this time. And also IL should be re-
membered that while the break has 10 be
forced by manipulation against fine intTin-
sic conditions everywhere an upward move
ment would undoubtedly begin with much
vigOr as soon as the bears began TO cover
The surrender Of Cronie is another strong
bull argument in the long list OF favorable
Developments.

A Wounded TIGER.

Expecting to find the corpse we fol-
lowed the tracks quietly for about 200
yards, and then came upon place
where the tiger had evidently lain
down and lost much blood They
cling to life with extraordinary tenac-
ity. Again we followed the tracks,
and in the marshy ground the fresh
pugs footmarks) had water still ooz-
ing into them. We stole in line
through the trees and grass up to
some tall reeds, when our hearts stood
still.
There was spring with an infu-
rated roar, and bounding through the
cover with open mouth, his tail lash
ing his sides, his whole fur bristling,
the tiger charged straight at us. Heav-
ems! what an unlocked for moment!
l could see before me nothing but q
shadowy form, owing to the lightning
speed of his movements-a shadory,
striped form, with two large humps, of
fire fixed upon us with an unmeaping
stare-as the beast rushed upon US.
Such was the vision of a moment.
The trees were so thick that l dared
not shoot till he was close, and l dim
ly recollect even then, thinking that
everything hinged upon keeping cool
and killing him IL possible. On he
came. 1 fired straight at his chest at
about fifteen yards distance, without
moving at all, and then instinctively-
almost miraculously-I sprang to the
left as the tiger himself sprang past
us, SO close that 1 found his blood
splashed over my gun barrels after
ward. - rom "The Sportswoman in
India" by Isabel Savory

Our sun IS a third-rate sun, situ-
ated in the milky way, one of myriads
Of .ttars, and the milky way is itself
one of myriads of sectional star ac-
cumulations, for these seem to be
countless, and to be spread over in
finity. AT some period OF their exist
ence each of these suns had planets
circling around it. which, after untold
ages, are fit for some sort of human
being to inhabit them for compar-
atiVely brief period, after which they
stu continue for years to circle around
without atmosphere, vegetation or In
habitants, as the moon does around
our planet There is nothing so cal
culated to take the conceit out of an
individual who thinks himself an i'm
portant unit in the universe as astron-
omy. 1t teaches that we are less, COM
pared with the universe, than n col

NJ Trelat, Il well-known authority
on hygiene, recently gave it as his
opinion that the best light for the
house is the slanting light as opposed
to the vertical and the horizontal
lights. According to this view, the
London Lancet points out, houses
should be constructed to receive the
rays of light at an angle of thirty de-
grees-that is to say, from place cor
responding with the mid-heavens-
and, in order to obtain this light,
houses should not be higher than two
thirds of the width of the street. If
a street, for example, were thirty feet
wide the houses on each side should
not be higher than twenty feet The
suggestion Is, of course, not to cut
down our houses, hut to widen our
streets.

tions very quietly. At first work vas
| carried on only at night. Il couple Of
years elapsed, and the country folk
| thereabout were quite unaware of
O'Neill's secret belief and persistent
search. An excavation sixteen feet
square was dug through broken rock
and primeval debris on the hillside,
and then the work lapsed. Numerous
| curloslties in the form Of rocks and
bones were revealed in the 5000 square
! feet of earth excavated, but no argen-
tlferous matter was found.
Last summer digging was resumed
and small chunks of ice were found
at level few feet lower than the
petrlfied bones. Imprints of fern
leaves had been revealed. The furth-
er the diggers proceeded, both later
ally and perpendicularly, the more ice
was encountered under messy beds be-
tween rocks. The Icy belt was found
to extend for twenty rods one way
and couple of rods crossways. AT
this time the thermometer at the sur
face registered eighty-siX to ninety
degrees Fahrenheit In the shade. The
mine was then about thirty-five feet
deep, and the atmosphere was so cold
it was difficult to make much progress.
O'Neill abandoned his hunt for silver,
and Mr.. Dodd determined to exploit
his ice mine in lieu of his silver shaft.
Repeated and thorough tests were
made to prove tile frigidity of the Cou-
dersport ice mine. 1t has been demo9-
strated TO the satisfaction of all who
visited the spot that such articles as
potatoes, fruit and small animals
when left in the cave over night after
an extremely hot summer day are
frozen stiff and solid as rocks.
A platform has been constructed
over the lower seventeen feet, access
which is had through trap door and
via n ladder. During the torrid Au-
gust days when visitor stepped
through the outer door and descended
to the platform current of cold air
coming from the bottom of the shaft
would turn his breath into dense mist,
just as when one leaves hothouse on
q frosty January morning.
AT the northeast corner of the bot
tom of the mine there was discov-
cred an aperture about six inches
square. From this point issues the
icy blast in steady current 1t is
impossible to hold lighted match or
candle near this opening without
having the fame extinguished imme-
diately.
There are other lesser flssures
throughout the mine whence come
cold currents continuously. Efforts
have been made to ascertain the depth
of the main aperture by throwing
weights attached to twine and arrows,
but bottom was not reached.
The best local opinion is that two
immense caverns underlle the mine at
considerable depth. that subterran-
can rivers have been formed from
melting glacial Ice and that some cross
current causes the draught of icy mir
in the Coudersport mine.-New York

1t is true that John G. Fairfax, Baron
Fairfax, made great deal more of a
figure through his title in Maryland
than he would have made over in Eng.
land. But it is also true that he was
an American citizen of the best type
, the type of those who, If they had
his opportunity, would think as he did
that any title which man does not
earn for himself adds nothing to his

Homes OF Glasgow Workmen.

The Glasgow workman finds that high
wages go with cheap living Rents in
this northern metropolis would be
counted by the London laborer as cx-
ceedingly low. Most OF the families
have an exceedingly poor standard of
household requirements. The rule in
Glasgow is to live in blocks of dwell
ings, four families to each floor for one
staircase. The usual home consists of
two rooms and little sculery, and the
Glasgow mechanic looks at you in cold
Scottish surprise if you dare to suggest
that his family requires more accommo-
dation than that I've known very
good men brought up in but and a

The sunlight steals between the leaves
And fiickers on the stream;
The little minnows dart about
Like shadows in a dream.
Beyond the shade the clover-feld
Is quivering with the heat,
But here the water ripples cool
About the children's feet.
The leaves stir softly overhead;
The shadows verge toward noon.
And they will have to leave their play
And go to dinner soon.

Prof. Joseph B. Lindsey of the Hatch
Experiment Station says: Digestion
is the changing of feeds in the stomach
and intestines into soluble and diffusi-
BILE substances. that can be taken up
by the blood. The process briefly
stated, is as follows: The feed is
chewed in the mouth. and thoroughly
moistened by the saliva. The moisten
ing of the feed thus enabling it to be
easily swallowed-is the principal
value of this secretion. The stomach
of the ruminant has four divisions. The
slightly chewed feed passes to the
large first stomach or paunch, and
