Scientific Explanation Of some phoA
nOmenh Of the Kitchen.
When YOU hear the Kitchen boiler
cracking, there Is no cause for alarm.
There Is n prevailing impression that
the cracking Is produced by steam and
that there Is therefore an increased
pressure on the boiler NJ such times.
But this Is an error. II the boiler is In
good condition. with the water turned
on AS usual so that the boiler Is kept
flied. the only pressure that It is sub.
jcctcd to Is the same as hat in the
wntcr pipes, from which Of course
There never Is the slightest danger
And this Is true 40 matter how hot the
water IN the boiler may he.
The reason is very simple. As long
as the boiler Is kept full Of water there
IL no room for steam. II you open the
hot water cock. the water pours out,
and steam rises from IL, because II then
has q chance to escape into the air. In
other words. evaporation takes place.
But as the hot water. bours out water
from the pipes PUSHES in TO take Its
place. aud thus the boiler is kept full.
The cracking noise referred to Ii
heard when the water Is unusually hot
and Is nothing but the expansion of the
boiler under the influence OF that heat.

SHORTS LET OUT EASILY.

NEW YORK. May 9.-Tonight an in
dividual who has been a party TO a con-
ference relating 10 the strained condi-
tions in Wall street made statemen Is
and explanations which give to the con-
test in Wall street different construo-
tion than was generally accepted down
town today He said:
Tomorrow morning. Kuhn. Loeb &
Co. will publish notice saying they
will let out their Northern Pacific to
the shorts at $3.50. The positive state
ment is made tonight that tomorrow j,
P. Morgan & Co. will notify the shorts
that they will be released on short ~
legations to Morgan & Co. on basis
OF $3.50. The shorts will get no stock
from Morgan & Co, They will get only
freedom.
The Burlington deal will be known
tomorrow as an accomplished fact 1t
has already been accomplished. The
Morgan-H Hill interests control the North
ern Pacific stock and the board OF d.
rectors has absolute power to close the
Northern Pacific Burlington merger
without the consent Of two-thirds Of
the Northern Pacific stock The old
laws OF the Northern Pacific prescribed
that two-thirds Of the stock should as
sent to such transaction as the pres
ent deal. This provision, still printed
in the manual and accepted as authen-
tic. has misled the opponents OF tse
Morgan Hill plans because in reorgani-
zation the two-thirds provision was
abolished and the power was vested
solely in the board OF directors. The
board had stipulated that when y Of
the Burlington stock had been deposited
In the designated trust company, the
Northern Pacific Burlington deal should
thus be automatically closed. The stock
has been deposited and the transaction
has been consummated."

that Hartman, Kuhn. Loeb & Co. and

ture Of the Burlington.
II is believed that the settlement with
the shorts In Northern Pacific will be
made at 200 or under. The following
statement from a member Of the Har-
riman syndicate is significant:
The Northern Pacific is in control of
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. The only thing that
can affect this control will be the pos

LOAN MAY BE PLACED HERE
NEW YORK, May IA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
American capitalists may be asked by
the Chinese government to subscribe to
the loan 1t will have to negotiate to pay
the indemnity to be exacted by the
powers.
WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter, and New York financiers have
been in communication on this subject.
The communications are entirely unoffi-
cial and have therefore been kept very
quiet. Nevertheless 1t has developed
that the idea mas been favorably re-
celved in New York. 1t Is Of course i'm
possible to say what the outcome will
be, as International politics will have
an important influence upon the placing
Of the loan, but intelligent Chinamen
favor obtaining subscriptions from the
United States.
The Chinese government is well aware
that provided the open door, be con-
ceded the United States at this moment
would not go beyond formal protest
in case Of the division Of China The
situation would be changed, however.
if Chinese bonds valued at millions OF
dollars were held by American capital
lists.
All that the Chinese minister has
done has been TO make inquiries and
American financiers have given an in-
dication Of what they are willing TO do
The loan will be very large-Special
Commissioner Rockhill has cabled to
the state department that the ministers
had agreed upon $685., ,OO0. 900. but he is
still trying to secure a reduction OF
this amount-but the lower 1t Is the
easier it will be for China and the bet
ter the terms upon which she can ne
gotiate it.
Foreign representatives in Pelxin will
undoubtedly bring strong pressure to
bear in behalf Of the placing Of the
loan in their respective countries. Mr..
Rockhill is not expected, however. to
join in such movement. II within the
range Of possibility. China, in order to
satisfy all the powers, may decide to
place IN each country a loan equal to
the indemnity due that particular ma
tion. In this event the share Of the
United States will probably be less than

in case its proposal for each power
to reduce its indemnity demand should
be adopted
