Identifying a Rare ..Fossil..

The late Professor Marsh of Yale
college, the eminet paleontologist. had
a quiet wit. Once a facetious student
brought him a bone scraped and cut
in fantastic fashion. The class
knew of the plan to deceive the scien-
fist.
II think, professor, that this is q
very rare fossil
The doctor looked at the bone, then
at the student. finally centering his
gaze upon the latter's knee:
1T is not rare. 1t is painfully ia

STEAMER STRANDED.
Margerete Jones Went Ashore Near
 Ocean City, Maryland.

Lewes. DeL November 25.-The British steamer Margerete Jones' Capt. Thomas Thomas, is ballast from Malta for Della ware Breakwater for orders, stranded at 3 o'clock this morning directly opposite the Isle of Wight life saving station near Ocean City, Md. She was immediately discovered by the life savers who manned their surf boat and went to her assistance. The steamer is well upon the beach with in fifty yards of low water mark She is lying easy in a moderate sea and perfectly tight The captain and crew refuse to leave the steamer, so the life savers re- turned to shore with dispatches from the captain.
 The wrecking steamer North America and the ocean-going tug Spartan left the breakwater early this morning to render assistance and the tug Sommers M. Smith left this evening. It will be necessary to lay anchors and run out hawsers to the steamers and heave her off inch by inch in to deeper water before the tugs can move her entirely clear of the shore. The wreck ing barge Lotte left the breakwater this evening with the necessary anchors and hawsers. It is not likely the steamer can be floated on tonight's high water. It will no doubt take several tides to float her.
 The margaret Jones is owned by .he Mar garete Jones Steamship Company of Car diff. She is consigned to Peter Wright and Sons Philadelphia. The vessel is 306 feet long and of 1Sf2 net tons burden. She was built in 1892.

OPERATION OF THE
 BANKRUPTCY ACT
Detail Report Made to the At-
 torney-GeneraI
2O,120 PETITIONS FLIED
All Glasses of Persons Have Taken Ad- vantage of the LaW-Many Mill lions Involved-Several Neces-
 sary Amendments Suggested.

Washington, November 25.-F. c. Bran denburg in charge of bankruptcy matters, has made report to the Attorney General on the operation of the bankruptcy act of July l, 1S9S The report says with refer ence to voluntary cases that advantage is being taken of the law by men of all clasNes ana in all walks of life, and in every section of the country.
 The grand total of petitions filed in the United States for the period ending Sep tember g. 1900, is 20,12S, exclusive of those for the western district of Louisiana, the district of Alaska and for half of the year for the Southern District of Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, the western dis trict of Tennessee and the eastern district of Virginia, from which semi-annual re- ports were never received. The liabilities in 19549 voluntary cases reported by the conference amounted to $264,979,152, while the total amount of assets scheduled in these cases was $3S,095, 7n.
 In voluntary cases the liabilities involved in 1242 cases upon which reports were made were $27,1l9O01, while the assets scheduled were $13, ,433. 209.
 The necessity of perfection of the law by a mandatory legislation is declared to be a matter of common knowledge. The report says Congress should give it's at tention to the provision covered by Section 57 G of the law which has been variously interpreted by the courts, the weight of the authority-included within which are two circuit courts of appeals-sustaining the position that payment on account made within four months must be first surren- dered before the balance of the claim of the creditor to whom such payment has been made can be proved and allowed, which interpretation the report declares is meeting with the almost universal disap- proval of the commercial community.

IRON MARKET
General Feeling of Confidence is Evil
 dent-Business Active.


 Cincinnati, O., November 25.-(Special.) )- In reviewing the iron market for the week ending Saturday, November 24, Rogers, Brown & Go. say
 ''The buoyancy of the market last week was very perceptble at the opening this eek, and the general feeling of confidence in prevailing prices has been evidenced by the continued activity of the business.
 'The furnace men have chosen to insist upon conservatism and to avert excite ment in the market which might tend to extreme advances and fictitious values.
 'The magnificent conditions existing m the commercial mercantile, manufactur- ing and monetary interests of the country with promise of a healthy expansion Of domestic and foreign business with the important fact that there never were so many artisans, mechanics and laborers under remunerative employment as today, imparts great confidence in prices current on raw and manufactured material and products.
 Coke has taken on an importance during the week. There had grown an idea that there was a great superabundanoe of coke, but the difficulties in meeting the improved demand demonstrates that the oven capacity has been over-estimated. The market closes strong"
