ible desire to continue the explorations
thus happily begun, yet everybody knew
that these things were aside from the
main purpose in view and that we
should be false to our duty in wasting
moment more upon the moon than was
absolutely necessary to put the ships in
proper condition to proceed on their
warlike voyage.
Everything being prepared then, we
left the moon with great regret, just 48
hours after we had landed upon it's sur
face, carrying with us determination
to revisit it and learn more of it's won
derful secrets in case we should survive
the dangers which we were going to face.
A day or two after leaving the moon
we had another adventure with wan
dering inhabitant of space which
brought us into far greater peril than
had our encounter with the meteor.
The airships had been partitioned off
so that portion of the interior could
be darkened in order to serve as sleep
ing chamber Wherein according to the
regulations prescribed by the command
er Of the squadron, each member of the
expedition in his turn passed out of
every "a housekeeping if he could !;
if not, meditating in more or less
dazed way upon the wonderful things
that he was seeing and doing-things
far more incredible than the creations
of dream.
One morning, if I may call by the
name morning the time of my periodical
emergence from the darkened chamber,
glancing from one of the windows
was startled to see in the black sky a
brilliant comet.

Sunday bearing upon the market of an
unsettling character.
Foreign houses followed up the lead set
by the London prices for American stocks
in heavy selling III this market. There
were some conspicuous exceptions 10 the
general tendency of the market. notable
examples being Atchison, common; North
ern Pacific, and Western Union. The last
named stock advanced with particular ra-
pidity on unusually large dealings
The market was fairly active and inter

features Of the railway list were the Erie
issues. Louisville and Nashville, Missouri

The industrial quarter was generally
strong. particularly for American Steel
and Wire The local traction issues were
again wholly neglected. The lack of bear

THE TESTIMONY OF WOMEN.
i Chicago Judge Declares That II Is
rrrfir. bic.

Unreliable.
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Woman-s ability 20
tell tie truth was questioned Saturday
when Judge 4. y. Waterman granted a
new trial after a jury IN his court had
returned verdict in favor of q plaintiff
The verdict was based largely in the tes-
timony of women Witnesses In granting
the new trial, Judge Waterman said:
I am adverse TO accepting the decision
of the jury as final IN this case Especial
" so. as that decision Was based largely
upon the testimony Of women The evil
dence OF one written document is of more
weight as evidence than the oral Jestimo-
ny OF a dozen witnesses, particularly when
women are concerned as Witnesses
Though women are undoubtedly upon q
higher plane than are men, they are rot
as reliable upon the witness stand
1T seems that women are Of more
imaginative nature than men. and though
it is no doubt unintentional, they come to
believe as true what they al first only
imagined and they maintain their belief
in spite Of all evidence against It"
Chicago women were angry when they
heard Of Judge Waterman's structures
upon their sex
i am very much surprised" said Dr.
Sarah IIackett Stevenson I thought he
vas more impartial I believe that the
majority Of witnesses are unreliable,
whether they be men or women.
