a disposition to do still better on cover

from Wall Street commission houses. The
better feeling was directly due to decided

The weekly Government report stated
that while the weather had been perfect
for picking the late crop had been dam
aged to some extent by frost, the yield
was showing up light and there was little
prospect of top crop in any section. Close
upon this news came smaller estimates
than expected for tomorro#'s New Or

ceived from Fall River and the dry goods
district were favorable. Prices were very
sensitive during the early afternoon and

The Cars Forests.

Russia has elaborated system
for the protectisn of her forests
as stringent in its provisions as
if it We're instituted for the pro
lection Of human beings. Only
so much wood may be cut down
annually in each locality as will
becompensated for by the growth
Of the remaining trees, and all
the clearances made are immedi-
ately yreplenished byyoung plants.
Even private owners OF forests
are not permitted to cut their
trees except under governmentin-
spectiOn. No absolute owner
ship in trees is now recognized,
in fact, but that Of the state. AS
a matter of fact a very large part
Of the Russian forests belong en-.
tirely TO the state. The largest
private, or rather semi-private,
proprietor is the administration
appanages which pos
sesses numerous estates the re-
venues from which are devoted to
the support Of the members of
the Russian imperial family.
The total area Of the estates is
a good deal over 2O,OOO,OO0 acres.
Being situated in the most diverse
districts, an extraordinary variety
of subtropical and temperate nat
ural productions is cultivated,
including sugar, tobacco, cotton,
wine, tea, fruit, roses, as well as
grain of every kind. The princi-
pal culture however, at any rate
in extent, is timber, forests Gov
ering nearly 100000 acres of
the total. In the exploitation of
these forests the greatest care
has to be given. .-Pearson's S Mag

SINKING SHIPS
They Don't Linser in MidOCean, but
Go TO the Bottom.

What becomes of the ships that
sink at sea? Do, they go all the
way to the bottom or do they meet
somewhere under the surface a
certain pressure that buoys them
up and holds them in equilibrium
Somebody, we forget who it is,
has given rein to his grewsome
fancy and pictured all the ships
that have been lost in midocean
as wandering about like so many
ghosts half way between the sur
face and the bottom.
There is no foundation, what
ever, for such a notion, though
many persons have it. Any OBJ
iect that viii sink beneath the
surface of the sea win go all the
way to the bottom. The pres
sure encountered ON the way
down, which is simply enormous
in the deeper parts, has nothing
to do with the objects sinking,
for it is exerted on the water
thus equalizing the condition.
The reason why the object
sinks to the bottom is that water
is not compressible; at least it is
so little so that its density at the
bottom of the sea is only a trihe
greater than it is at the surface.
Scientists tell us that the water
at the bottom is just about as
much denser than the water at
the surface as sea water is denser
than fresh water.
This slight difference in densi-
ty, therefore, does not and cannot
stop the downward conrse of a
sinking ship or any object that is
heavy enough to sink rapidly
beneath the surface. Pressure,
as we have said, is not a factor in
the case at all.-Chicago Record.

Dosing An Elephant.

A difficult operation was per
formed the other day at the ZOO
logical gardens at Hanover. All
elephant was suffering great pain
from a growth on the lower part
of one of its hind feet, and it was
deemed necessary to cut this NAL
formation away. In order to rem
der the animal insensible a dose
of 800 grains of morphia in six
bottels of rum was administered.
This dose took about an hour be-
fore any visible effect was produc,
ed. The elephant then fell over
in a kind of sleep, and the opera
ton was successfully carried out
without any further ado. The
operation lasted in all three days.

The Best Time to Answer a Letter.

The best time to answer letter
is while you are under it's spell,
and before your interest in it has
grown cold. Home letters should
be regular. The glow and inn
pulse of love, stimulated anew,
will be reponsively stirred, if the
reply is not too long deferred. l
am always sorry for families who
suffer the lines of communication
between them to weaken or rust
because of carelessness ia writing
and many a time my heart has
aahed for the disappointment
visible in an old face when some
Jeau or Molly, whose letter is
wistfully anticipated, has forgot
ten to send it at the right time.

The Experts Theory.

One of the older members Of
the Baltimore bar tells this anec-
dote of the late Severn Teackle
Wallis as Illustrating the clever
ness and slr aasm of Mr.. Wallis:
Mr.. Wallis was defending the
will of a wealthy testator, and, as
the laws say, when the estate
is large .awyer twill wrestle
with W - with a will" A prom.
inent pc ysician was called to
testify for those contesting the
will. The doctor became rest
less under the lengthy and eX-
haustive cross examination of
Mr.. Wallis, and finally he petu-
tantly exclaimed.
ooh, Mr.. Wallis, l believe the
testor was insane!"
Mr.. Wallis kept his temper and
said quietly: doctor, you are the
first person who has ever intimat-
ed in or out of court that the test
ator was insane. Why do you
say he was insane?"
81 believe" the doctor replied
"that every man is more or less
insane on some one subject.
SIS it your deliberate profes-
sional opinion, !" Mr.. Wallis then
asked, Expressed here in court
under oath, that every man is
more or less insane on some sub.
ject?"
eyes, the doctor replied; 81
will say here under oath that from
my reading, knowledge and ex-
perience l believe that every man
is more or les insane on some one
subject. "
Then Mr.. Wallis said in that
fine tone sarcasm for which he
was noted, "Doctor, has it ever
occurred to you that you are in
sane on the subject of insanity"
Immediately the doctor fired
up and exclaimed, "But, Mr..
Wallis. I am not insane!"
Mr.. Wallis arose and said:
Doctor, according to your OWE
sworn theory, you must be insane
on the subject. l pronounce you
insane on the subject of insan-
ity."
Court, jury and spectators laugh
ed aloud, and nothing more was
said about the testator being in
sane. Baltimore Sun.

more interested in the communi-
cation made recently by H. r.
Gaylord, a professor Of the New

he has located the cause Of cancer
in an animal parasite. If this
theory is substantiated, it will un-
doubtedly awaken the hope that
the dread disease can be cured.
This hope is based on the belief
that cancer antitoxiu will be
