The New York stock market yesterday
WAS more interesting, Il not more impor-
tant, than those that Immediately pre-
ceeded it. The fact that South Africa is
an acute influence, not only on the other
side but in New York, was demonstrated
very clearly in an active and buoyant
opening yesterday in which prices ad-
yanced all over the list from half point
TO point. a movement greater than the
entire day before had witnessed. London
bought American securities heavily yea
terday morning on the news from General
Butler and London buying and short COW
e:Jng caused the jump in New York An
other London factor was the reduction OF
the discount rate by the Bank OF England
to per cent. This action had been ex-
pecied, but when II occurred IL was con-
sidered bull argument nevertheless. On
this side also the news was all cheerful.
The banks have gained from the sub
treasury since last Friday nearly s2500.-
600. Several important earnings state
ments were published. all showing large
increases. So much may be said Of hope
full nature, but also IL is to be chronicled
that after the first hour OF the session the
market was duller than ever. For many
minutes at time there were no quota
tions, and the total business of the day.
despite the active opening, was probably
as Email as mat Oh wednesday, HHen IL
was the smallest In over year. This fact
also, may perhaps be ascribed TO the South
African situation. The jubilation in Lon
don. when General Buffers despatch was
first read, seems 10 have given way later
10 iuster and less rosy view OF his news.
The small garrison found by General War
rem on Spion Kop suggested to some Of the
critics that the Beers had not considered
the position one OF overwhelming import
anee, and the fact that when II was at
tanned the Beers were successful in train
ing their guns on II with damaging execu-
ton. tended to strengthen this belief. On
the whole, however, the street is inclined
TO a more hopeful feeling regarding the
market outlook for one reason or another
Perhaps the knowledge that the bank
statement will be good one may be the
cause.
Naturally the graneers and others OF the
international securities we're most affected
by the London market buoyancy yesterday
morning. They opened with an average
advance of a point. Later in the day they
declined bali a point OF more. but at the
close good net gains were shown. Burling-

PHOTOGRAPHS AS PROOFS.
They Are About as Conclusive as Figure,
 ..TbaA Nauor


 Speaking of freak photographs, 3 said an old newspaper man, reminds me of singular little incident About three years ago, if you remember, a story went the rounds of the papers that flying machine had been seen maneuvering in the air at number of different places in the middle west Some of the reports seemed to be well authenticated, and it was certainly strange that the same yarn should come from so many widely separated points. One day while the thing was being generally talked about, a certain big journal received a photograph from a town in Nebraska showing an enor- nous eigar-shaped machine caught in tie top of huge oak tree. According to the story that accompanied the pie ture the aerial naYigators had at tempted to land and fell foul of the oak. There was no doubt as to the genuineness of the tree in the photo, and it was at first thought that the machine had been painted in,' which is an old trick with pictorial fakers. When an expert was called in, how ever, he declared positively that the picture had not been doctored, and on the strength of his opinion reproduc- tion was printed. How the trick was done afterward leaked out. It seems the photographer first took a separate picture of a small pasteboard model of flying machine, which was only about a foot long. One of the beauties about photography is that you can make everything the same size, and the photo of the model was as big as the photo of the tree. The model was then cut out of the picture with pair of scissors and pasted on top of the branches of the oak, and new photo graph was taken of the combination. It was the most deceptiye-looking job l ever laid my eyes on. New Orleans Times Democrat.

 COOKERY IN BOLIVIA.
Chupe, an Uncertain Ktnd of Irish
 Stew, Is the National Dish.

Stew, Is the National Dish.
 The stoves of the Bolivian Indians are curious things. A bole is dug fD the ground about IS inches deep and a foot square, and over this Is built a roof of clay with holes Of different sizes to receive the various cooking pots. Roasting is done on spits passed through the holes, so that the meat comes out very much smoked unless coals at the bottom of the oven. The national dish, and the common food of the masses, is ''chupe," sort of first cousin to the Irish stew It is con- glomerate composed of irregular con- stituents from the animal and yege- table kingdoms-a mess of mutton and such other meats as are available; chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes, carrots, barley, corn, rice, onions, vans, etc., chopped up, highly seasoned with pep pers and herbs, and stewed to a con- sisteney of porridge. What happens to be left from one meal sinners in the pot until the next. If the fire goes out the "ehupe' is allowed to cool, but 1t is warmed up again. and new supply of the ingredients added to the water logged and greasy stuff for the next meal. In the cities, at the hotels and restaurants where there are French or Swiss cooks the .'ehupe" is sayory and palatable, but the further you 20 from the centers of civilization the worse 1t gets. One eats it first under protest, then from necessity, and only to escape starvation; but finally the stomach re- bcls, and you limit your diet to boiled eggs and fruit, which are usually to be obtaineds but the experienced travel CT always takes canned meat and bread with him.

SUNS JOURNEY.
velocity Is Between six aud Twelve
 Miles Per Second.

Miles Per Second.
 By means of the speetroscope we can obtain a probably more accurate deter- imitation of the suns velocity through space, says the Gentfeman's Magazine. As is well known the velocity Of ltar in the line of sight can be found by measuring the displacement OF cha lines visible in the stars spectrdr. Now the stars near the position or the solar apex" should be approaching the earth on account of the solar motion, and those at the opposite point of the sky-called the "anti-apex should be veceding. This method has been em ployed by several astronomers, esPee- ally by Vogel at the Potsdam obserxa- tory. This able astronomer has found from an examination of forty stars that the suns velocity through space is about seven and one-half miles a sec- ond. and an examination of a larger number of stars would be necessary before We could consider this result as thoroughly established. From an ex- animation of the speetra of fourteen nebulae, Prof. Keeler of the Lick ob- servatory has found Yelocities in the line of sight and from these the French astronomer Tfsserand has deduced a velocity of about nine and one-third miles for the solar motion, result which does not differ widely from that found by Vogel. We may, therefore, perhaps conclude that the velocity of the suns motion through space is be- tween six and twelve miles per second. The average velocity of the stars meas- ured at Potsdam is about ten and one- half miles u second and possibly tha sun may have similar velocity.

SMALL PIPES
And suld Tobacco Satisfy the Desires
 of Japanese Smokers.


 Washington Star: You may have noticed that the Japanese who visit America are very moderate smokers. U
 said prominent Japanese now travel ing ill the United States. Those of my countrymen who indulge in the weed mostly smoke cigarettes or preferably the smallest pipes filled with the mild est tobacco obtainable. Of course, there are Japanese who, like some Americans. have such a craving for to- bacco that nothing less than the strongest cigar or the largest pipe will satisfy them. But such smokers are exceptionally few among the Japanese. As a rule, my eeuntrymen while at home and abroad. are satisfied with short smokes. such as q cigarette or a tiny pipe affords. The Japanese are moderate smokers, not so much be- cause they are small people, but for 1he reason that up to within recent years but very little tobacco came into Japan and the tariff on 1t was very high. Being poor but fr'agai race, St4o haSees PhlGAdseu oHly IlEGteu quantities of the weed which. as a mat ter of economy. they have for genera tions been taught to smoke in only the tiniest of pipes. These pipes. the most popular of which hold about as much tobacco as would fill an ordinary thim- bic, are the survival of the days when money was scarce, tobacco dear and the tariff high. In another generation or two. when Japan shall have taken her place among the wealthy nations of the world, my countrymen will no doubt smoke large quantities of tobac- co, and then the small pipes will be abandoned for big ones, such as Eng lishmen and Americans now smoke"

UNCLE sAM,s
Methods of Guarding Vaults of the
 United States Treasury.

Washington Special Chicago Trib- une: Frequently remarks are heard as to how easy it would be for a handful of determined desperadoes to make away with rich haul of gold and sil- yer as 1t is being transferred to or from the vaults of the treasury OR one of the business thoroughfares of this city. At any hour of the day curious crowd can be seen standing about the heavy platform at the Fifteenth street entrance to the treasury, upon which small iron safes containing money are being placed in transferring currency to and from the treasury. Speculation Is always indulged in and plans formu- lated for making away with large amount Of Uncle Sans gold Those who indulge in this wild speculation are not aware of the danger which would attend such an undertaking In the first place, it requires at least three men to handle each safe, and 1t would be almost an Mnpossibility to wrest these treasure laden boxes from those who have charge of them. Even if this should be done, the robbers would not be able to get away with the booty as within an incredibly short time num- Der of government employees armed to the teeth would be on the spot. It is not generally known, but inquiry de- veloped the fact that the seedy men who loiter around with no apparent aim ill life are expert marksmen. These men can shoot equally well with either hand, and would furnish highly entertaining sport for any one who should attempt to rob Uncle Sam. They are employed by the government at a good salary. Aside from these ex- pert marksmen at the main entrance of the building will be found number of watchmen, each Of whom is provided with a rifle. Secreted in one of the rooms are two gatling guns, and 1t would require but short time to bring all these arms into play. TO the lay man it would seem to be an apparent ly easy matter to steal some of the governments funds, but it is safe to say a number Of lives would be for feited if such a foolhardy attempt were made.

diseases put together, and unity the
last few years- was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced 1t local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls ICatarrh Cure man
