late recovery, however did not bring prices fully
up to the opening level Yesterdays rather ,io.

considerable selling orders from outside sources.
Prices, therefore, yielded very generally after
the opening, and declines ranging from to lis

Gas was especially affected and lost pa and Gen.
eral Electric as much. Louisville was the weak.
est OF the railroad list and fell al one time a
point under last night. Some wider declines
were made by newly awakened dormant stocks.
Considering the range Of this movement, the
days final changes will be found surprisingly
small; consummation which suggests general
closing up OF speculative accounts. The forecast

The Largest Tree in the World.

In Nassau, the capital city of the
Bahama Islands, they say "the tree
in the public square the trees.
Now the public square of Nassau is
quite as large as that of most cities of
the size, but there is only one tree in
il, and that tree literally fills the
square and spreads its shade over all
the public buildings in the neighbor-
hood. For it is the largest tree in
the world at it's base, although it is
hardly taller that three-story house.
1t is usually known as ceiba, or a
silk cotton tree. but the people of the
low islands OF the West Indies call it
the hurricane tree. For no matter
matter how hard the wind blows it
cannot disturb the mighty buttressed
trunk of the ceiba. In the hurricane
of last spring all the palms and many
of the other trees of Nassau were
overturned, but the great hurricane
tree, although it lost all its leaves, did
not lose 80 much as q branch. It's
trunk throws out great curving wing
like braces, some of them twenty feet
wide and nearly as high. These cx-
tend into the ground on all sides and
brace the tree against all attack, while
the great branches throw thick
shade overhead. Tn the tropic sun
shine of midsummer hundreds, axen
thousands, of people gather in the
cool of its shadow. A very old picture
in the library at Nassau shows the
tree as bigas it is at present and even
the oldest negro in the island cannot
remember when it was a bit smaller.

different muscles. Fourteen of these
serve for the emission OF 16,39O
sounds, and the others aid the pro-

A very long electric railway is to be
built in Ohio, connecting Toledo and
Norwalk and passing through seven
or eight smaller towns. The total
length will be sixty miles, half Of
which will be on turnpike road. The
permanent way will be of substantial
construction, as a speed of forty miles
al hour is proposed. Still higher
speed can be made upon straight
electric road running on its own right
Of way.
Professor G. E. Bessey announces.
in letter to Science, that he has OBJ
tanned evidence that trees, including
such species as oak, hickory, willow,
cottonwood, elm and box elder, are
rapidly advancing in eastern Nebraska.
The areas covered by them are grad.
ually creeping up the courses of tho
streams and spreading out laterally.

Paper is proving very satisfactory
material for driving ropes At the
English factories OF Wolverhampton,
the rope is made like that from other
materials. aud contains three main
strands, each made up of number OF
continuous strips of twisted pulp
paper. The material is made water
proof by treatment with boiled oil.
The rope is fairly smooth and wonder
fully plant, and in recent tests for !
driving machinery it has been only
polished under conditions
that have caused cotton rope to be.
come badly worn and frayed. Its
actual tensile strength is supposed to
be considerably less than that OF
manila rope.
