LECTURES ON FINANCE.
Prof. johnson Talks to School of
Jurisprudence and Diplomacy.

Prof. Joseph French johnson gave the
fifth and sixth lectures in the course upon
Finance" in the school of comparative
jurisprudence and diplomacy, Columbian
University, Thursday and Friday after
moons. The topic of the Thursday lecture
was the supply of money. He called atten-
ton to the fact that most economists I'm
treating of money have given to the word
supply the definition not analogous to
that given 1t in the discussion of commod-
tiles in general. They define the supply of
money as being the amount of money in
use, taken in connection with its rapidity
of circulation. Prof. johnson objects to
this definition on the ground of it's vague
ness That might, he said, with equal cor
rectness define the supply of railroad cars
as being the number of railroad cars in
use taken in connection with the rapidity
of their movement. For instance, if rail-
roaG with 1000 cars quickens its running
time by 25 per cent it adds % per cent to
its carrying capacity; that is to say, 1t in
creases the supply of cars which it can
offer for transportation purposes.
In the case of money. he said, the rapid
ity OF its circulation is merely circum-
stance which increases the efficiency of the
money supply. The supply of money is
merely the amount of money available for
use. The efficiency of this supply is in
creased not only by the rapidity of circula-
ton, but also by the use of credit In con-
tant to note the unique quality possessed
by money. The dollar is capable of per-
forming any amount of work that may be
imposed upon it. In this respect money
differs from any other tool which men Use
An additional supply of money is not neces-
Sary merely because the demand increases.
The existing supply is always sufficient for
the transaction of business. An increasing
demand merely adds to its value and so
makes 1t able to perform more money
work.
In the lecture of yesterday Prof Johnson
discussed certain criticisms that have been
passed upon the demand and supply theory
II is objected to the theory that inasmuch
as 1t Is impossible to measure the demand
Ior money at any given time since that de-
mand depends on the use or credit and on
the rapidity of circulation, the theory is so
vague as to be useless. This objection ap-
plles with equal force to theory of demand
and supply in application to any commod-
lty The law of gravitation is equally vul-
nerabie. 1t states the general truth with
regard to the force exerted by material
OBJECTS, but does not enable men to deter
mine how much force a new body discoy-
ered IN space would exert. That force can
be measured only by the effect which it
produces. In the same way the influence
exerted by credit upon the demand for
money can be determined only by its ef-
rect; that Is to say, by the resultant change
In the value Of money

ESCAPE OF f. J. WALTON.
Succeeds in Getting Out of Mounds
VILE Pcnftentiary.

escaped. The latter was cripple, having
received injuries at the time of his arrest.

which enabled them to get over the twenty
hve-foot boundary wall. As soon as their
escape was discovered bloodhounds were
put on their trail. but with what success is
not yet known here.

known, came here some time prior to

eral local merchants He ordered big bills
OF goods at several establishments, and had
them charged to the wife OF a prominent
resident of the northwest section of the
Guy. AT another store he purchased a
handsome dress suit case, and at another
he bought three sets of drawing instru-
ments, pretending they were for a promi-
nent citizen. whose name he gave. When
nrst arrested he was released on his per-
sonal bonds because of his youthful ap-
pearance and through the kindness of
friends.

return to his fathers home at Camden. n.

'BOTTLE-NOSED WHALE.
Carcass Being Prepared for Exhibit at
National Museum

j. w. Scollick, chief preparator of the de-
partment of paleontology, National Mu-
scum, returned Wednesday from Newport
X. l., where he completed the work of strip
ping the flesh from the carcass Of a bot
tle-nosed whale and sent the skeleton on to
Wards natural science establishment
Rochester, N. Y. for final cleansing
The bottle-nosed whale is a somewhat
rare variety, fast approaching extinction,
and chiefly indigenous to the Baltic sea-
1t is found occasionally however, in the
North Atlantic, and this is one out of
a very small number killed on the New
England coast.
Some two weeks ago this cetacean was
stranded on the Rhode Island coast and
killed by fisherman named Allison ALI
son expected to make a small fortune out
or the whale, and towing 1t into Newport
harbor moored it to a wharf and blossomed
out as Snowman, charging all who cared
10 look at the whale 70 cents per head for
the privilege.
The whale began decomposng and ALI
son was compelled to remove the carcass
from Newport harbor. On the way out
some marines from the government tor
pedo station took the carcass away from
AHison; and after having some fun with
the body left 1t at Port Adams. The COM
mandant at that point, at loss to know
how to get rid Of the whale, wired to Prof
Lucas of the National Museum, who sent
Mr. Scollick to the scene to remove the
skeleton for the museum. This Mr. Scol-
lick accomplished after experiencing a vast
deal of trouble in securing a locality on
which to beach the animal.
AS an example Of the size of this ami
NAL, which Is an adult made, Mr. Scollick
states that it will take Wards establish
ment five months to clean 1t.
