Magnetism In Optics.

1t has been discovered that the crys.

~ diamagnctic or subject to magnetic
repulslon. As astlgmatism-the COM
mOnest cause OF defective vision and
the most frequent excuse for spcctacles
is merely a slight distortion of this

REPORT ON TRADE.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade
for last week says:
"A holiday reduced the volume of
legitimate business, while speculative op-
erations were seriously curtailed by the
general closing of exchanges from Fri
day afternoon to Tuesday morning. In
the movement of merchandise and in
many manufacturing lines there has
been an effort to make up the loss by
working overtime, but the weeks re-
cord will fal behind those Immediately
preceding.
Actual sales of many iron and steel
products are reckoned at material ad-
vances, and the tone throughout has
been hardened by vigorous demand
Placing of sample orders for spring
footwear of such character as to indi-
cate healthy market and some jobbers
are so anxious for early delivery that
contracts are being closed now.
Despite that activity in the market
for cotton goods, and placing of govern
ment contracts, the staple shows no
great strength.
Although unsettled in tone, little al
iteration occurred in the principal ce-
reals. Trading was restricted and there
was an apparent declination to assume
an aggressive stand on either side of
the Atlantic.
Commercial failures during the
month of August were 500 in number
and $9,458,806 in amount of liabilities.
Compared with the same month last
year this statement is most unsatisfac-
tory, as failures were then only 1856 in
number and $7,323, 1903 in amount"

New York, Sept. 8.-A United States
soldier now serving on the island of Guam
writes a friend in this city, enclosing the
copy of an order issued by Governor Seaton
Schroeder. The order reads in part as fol-
lows:
"The attention of the commander of this
station is directed to the hoodlumism and
lawlessness which are rampant. 1t is not
necessary to mention all the instances of
terrorism, theft, gambling and drunken
ness which have brought the United States
forces into disrepute among the people of
the island, but there is reason for abiding
to the theft few weeks ago of barrel
of whisky from the naval hospital, which
was the sole supply of the medical depart
ment for medical purposes, There are
many who know who the thieves are, but
they apparently have not the courage to
denounce them"
The order continues, calling upon the
men to assist the officers in relieving the
command from the charges.

No SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
THE STEEL STRIKE YET ON.
Report That President Schwab Had
Put Time Limit on His Prop
OsitiOn to Amnlgamated Men Of
fciaIly Denied-BOard in Session
All Day.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. S.-A settlement
of the steel workers strike against the
United States Steel corporation was looked
for. 1t did not materialize, but that it
is near at hand is generally conceded. The
report that President Schwab had put a
time limit on his proposition to the Anal
gamated men was denied in the official
circles today. The only thing that was
stated in the proposition was that the
longer the strikers held off from the peace
negotiations the more idle mills would be
started and less union mills would be
found ON the list when final steps were
taken to end the struggle Each mill of
the trust that has thus far started since
the strike began is to remain nonunion
while those still idle when the agreement
is reached will be allowed to remain union
and under Amalgamated influence.
All the day the executive board of the
Amalgamated associa ton remained in SEES
sion. Shortly before 6 o'clock this evening
President Shaffer came out OF the meet
ing and announced with much positive
ness that nothing would be given out
From the earnestness of the discussion of
the board it was apparent that some UNI
usual effort was being made to reach a
conclusion of the disastrous struggle, and
it is again confidently reported that
Shaffer and his board will be in New
York Monday morning.
In the offices of the Carnegie building
it was said there was no change in the
strike situation. The officials of the
companies interested were making every
effort possible to start the plants.

HUMAN FINGER PRINTS.
There Are Possible Ora wbacks to Their
Value in Identificati ton.

az nc III
The constancy of human finger prints
has chiefly been discussed in connec-
ton with the identification of criminals.
Assuming that the evidence of finger
prints is to be admissible in criminal
proceedings, it will be not only neces-
sary TO prove that in the case of the
same man the finger prints remain I'M
altered, but that no two persons have
identical finger prints. Where is the
evidence of this?
There are propably 1,500000,000 men
and women on the earth. Can we sup
pose that no two of these have identical
finger prints? Nor indeed is this all.
We may be comparing the finger prints
of living man with those of one who
has been dead for years past, and the
doctrine of heredity might lead us to
expect to find similar finger prints in
the case Of parents and children and of
different children of the same parents.
1t is, at all events, certain that if this
finger print system were once intro
duced into our courts of justice there
would be any amount of wrangling as
to whether they were Identical or only
similar-experts contradicting each
other and involving the whole subject
in confusion.
Moreover, professional criminals
would probably soon find some mode of
altering their finger prints. No doubt
If the person who committed crime
a murder, for example-has left the i'm
print of his fingers on anything 1t may
prove an important clew, but the same
thing may be said of the imprint of his
boots or shoes. But clew Is one thing
and proof is another thing.
Let me point out another difficulty. In
country where there are large num-
Der of criminals whose finger prints are
collected. the number of these will soon
be very large. How long would 1t take
to examine this collection In order to

He was fighting his pain. The letters
were read without his being whit the

manned.
With another of those pitiful laughs
he ripped open the envelope. The laugh
changed into an indescribable cry.
There were no patterns in the envelope.

For the day lives or it dies,

In the music of her lips.

CUBAN SUGAR CROP.
Annexation of Island Would be Death
Blow to Beet Industry

WASHINGTON, April From many
visitors to the island of Cuba within
the past few weeks, ideas have been
secured which indicate that the United
States will either have to surrender
that country entirely to the natives or
assume a prOtectorate over the island,
which will involve the expenditure of
more money than would be the case if
the island was annexed as a territory
of the United States under the condi-
tions in which Hawai- came into our
possession.
OF course there is always a difference
of opinion among so-called wise men.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin,
chairman of the house committee on in
sular affairs, who has recently visited
the island, believes it would be the pro-
per thing for the United States to I'M
dertake. Also with him was Mr.. Ste
Vens of Minnesota, who is a member OF
the committee of which Mr.. Cooper is
chairman. Upon his return to the
United States he most vigorously
objects to either the annexation of
Cuba by the United States or to the
establishment of close commercial rela-
lions between the United States and
that island. His views briefly are as
follows:
"a The annexation of this island and
the admission of it's sugar free of duty
would be the death blow to the beet
sugar industry of the north and west
and the cane sugar industry of the
south.
(2) The production of Cuban sugar
will this year be in excess of 1000, 00(
tons. Within the near future, the Min
nesota statesman believes that Cuba
would produce enough sugar to supply
all that would be necessary for use in
the United States.
