with the king, who, the Associate
Press learns, was just as interested At
meeting them as they were at meatinn
him. The king had expressed consid

men these multi-millionaires might ~

gle. AS regards the latter the king was
disappointed, for Mr.. Cargegie was nm.
able to be present.
From the king down all the officials
concentrated their attention on Mr.
Morgan. Their curiosity was not I'm.
mixed with awe. One of the high ofB.
GERS OF the household humorously con.
fessed that an inspection of the list Of
visitors made them tremble lest Mr.
Morgan or one of the other millionaires
should take a fancy to Windsor and
buy 1t. Apart from this personal point
OF view, the Associated Press was off.
cially informed by Lord Pelham-Clin.
ton, the master of the household. that
the king regarded the presence in Eng.
land of such representative body Of
American business men as highly sig
nificant of the close and friendly rela.
tions existing between the two coun-
tries and in furtherance of that feeling
he was delighted to welcome them to
his castle and make their acquaintance.
After an inspection of the grounds,
the delegates were taken to the east
terrace, where they were received by
the king. They were surprised to find
that the queen was also present, for
her appearance was quite unexpected.
With the king and queen were the
Princess Victoria and the children of
the duke and duchess of Cornwall and
York. Each delegate was formally pre-
sented to both the king and queen,
shaking their hands This ceremony
over, the king asked the visitors to re-
place their hats on their heads and both
he and the queen then commenced to
chat in the most friendly way with the
little group. The king remembered
meeting previously William Butler
Duncan and James w. Pinshot, much
to their establishment. The king appar-
emily avoided business and politics, be-
yond reiterating how glad he was to
meet so many we'll known men from
America When the audience was over
the delegates partook of a small feast
and repassed the king and queen, who
were having tea IN the garden. The
king stood up, took off his hat and
bowed his farewell. The delegates then
returned to London.

To Examine Boiler Tubes.

A new apparatus has recently been
invented for examining boiler tubes.
1t consists of a tube fixed at right
angles in chamber provided with a
magnifying eye-piece. At the further
end of the inspection tube, which is
capable of being drawn out to suit the
length of the boiler tube under ex.
animation, are an incandescent
electric lamp and an angular plane
reflector, which transmits the rays to
a reflector inclined at similar angle
under the eye piece. The tube in
process of inspection is fixed in a
travelling carrier, which permits every
part of it to be examined in turn.
The carrier is provided for this pur-
pose with both horizontal and a
rotary movement. The present ap-
paratus is designed for tubes of 6.56
feet in length by 11s inches in
diameter, Tut the same principle can
be applied to tubes of large size and
greater length. An apparatus for use
in the case of tubes n stu" has also
been devised. 1t is stated that this
invention has proved very satisfactory
in use, and that is has often revealed
defects in the interior of tubes which
externally presented every appearance

Origin of Memorial Day in the South.

An association known as the Ladies'
Aid Society was organized in 1861 for
looking after soldiers who died in
Columbus hospitals. They were buried
under the direction of these ladies,
who thereafter took charge of these
graves, making il a practice to go in
a body to care for and beautify them
with plants and flowers. Upon the oc-
casion of one of these visits, in Janu-
airy, 1866, Miss Lizzie Rutherford, a
member of the society, made the sug-
gestion that a specified day should be
adopted upon which a memorial SER
vice should be held for the purpose of
decorating the confederate graves an.
nually. The proposition met at once
with the greatest favor, and a letter
was addressed to each of the chapters
in other cities and towns suggesting
similar action on their part.
These letters were written in March,
1866, and from their publication re-
suited the observance of April 26th as
Memorial Day for the Confederate
dead in several Southern states

NEW TAXES IMPOSED.
(In force April /, 1901.)


Broker, class 2. special tax il adj
dition to all other special taxes, $50.
Bucket shop transactions, cents
for each 500.
Under the new revenue law
special tax of $50, in addition to 81
other taxes, is imposed upon brokers
of what is known as the second-class.
The following questions and answers
embodied in a letter from Commits
sioner Yerkes to Revenue Agent
Thompson at New York, will be of
interest to all brokers':
First-Is person liable to special
tax as broker No. 2. whose business it
is to deal in puts" and calls" on
stock or grain outside of an exchange
board of trade or similar place?
He is, in view of the fact that
neither puts" nor "calls" can be ex-
ecuted on any exchange, board of
trade, or similar place, and of the
further fact, to which you also refer,
that the supreme court has decided
that "call'' is an agreement to sell.
Seconds it necessary that the
memorandum of sale given to A, a
customer, by B, broker, not men,
Der of any exchange, who transmits
the order to C, member of an ex-
change, for execution, be stamped in
addition to the stamped memorandum
given by the parity with whom ex-
ecutes the order?
The reply to this is in the affirma-
tive. See ruling 345 in treasury deci-
sions of May %, 1901, page IT.
Thirds it necessary for the man.
ager of branch Office or a member
of stock exchange to qualify as
broker No. when the manager of
this branch Office pays practically all
of the expenses incurred in running
the same and receives a division of
the commissions on the business
transacted there?
If, as appears to be the fact, he is
either an agent or partner of firm
that is a member of stock exchange,
and the transactions are carried to the
not required to pay special tax under
the third paragraph OF section OF the
act of March 2. 1901.
Fourth-Is it necessary for a broker,
not operating a branch Office, to quail
ify as broker No. 2, who transmits his
orders to broker on an exchange,
board of trade or similar place, for
execution?
1t is, if he is not an agent of the
member of the exchange to whom he
transmits his orders, but is acting in
dependently.
Fifth-Is it necessary for broker
who is member of, and transacts all
of his business on, an exchange, board
of trade, or similar place to qualify as
broker No. 2, when the majority of
his business transacted upon the ex-
change does not consist of the actual
delivery Of the certificates of stock or
commodities dealt in?
1t is not, if all this business is car
ried to the board of trade or exchange
and there completed, even without
actual delivery.

crease. The eccentricity of the earth's
orbit is also slowly diminishing and
will keep on doing so until the orbit
will become almost circular, after
which time it will Increase again,
The line of the apsides of the orbit.
which now stretches IL both directions
toward the consultations of Sagittar-
Jus and Gemini, is slowly and steadily
moving eastward at rate that will
carry it around the circle in about
100000 years. This change is owing
to the attraction of the heavy planets
whose orbits are outside of the earth's.
The apsides of the moons orbit un.
dergo a similar change. with the diff
ference that in the moons case the
change is completed in about nine
years. In consequence of the preces-
sion of the equinoxes, that westward
motion of the equinoxes on the eclip-
tic, the pole of the equator has
changed its position materially, for
our pole star. Polaris, in the tail Of
Ursa Minor, has not always acted, nor
will it always act, in that capacity.
-Four thousand years ago Alpha ORA
conis, or Thuban, was the pole star,
while in 10000 years hence the beauti-
full first-magnitude star Vega will en-
joy the dignity of being the pole star.
Once upon a time the signs of the
zodiac agreed with the consultations
of the same name, while as natural
consequence of the procession of the
equinoXes each sign has backed into
the constellation west of it. Although
no change of the pole of the ecliptic
has so far been observed, it does not
follow as an absolute fact that this ap
parently constant point may not I'M
dergo slow change, perceptible after
long period of time. That comets
have changed and are still changing
their course is matter of observation,
and even in the sidereal worlds
enough changes have been observed
10 render the fact certain of changes
rot being confined to our own solar
system. The stupendous distances of
the sidereal worlds. of which we have
hardly an adequate conception, render
an observation of their relative posi-
ton to each other extremely difficult,
but despite this difficulty some
changes have been noticed, although it
will require millions of years before
the CONGREGATIONS of the stellar con-
stellations will be noticeably altered
Changes in the brightness of fixed
stars have been observed in quite a
number of cases. Thus we see that
steadily changes are going on through
out the whole universe, which in the
minds of the uninitiated will engender
a feeling of wonder, but to the philo-
sophie mind ever be potent stimulus
for further and deeper researches into
the mysteries of the universe.
