STOCK SPECULATION.

We have heard a great deal
through the newspapers during a
week or two past about the great
fortunes that have been made by
speculation in stocks in Wall street.
The magnitude cf operations on
this great financial thoroughfare
has unquestionably been excePt>
ional, and the trading has had a
range and boldness that even aston
ished the stock gamblers of Ions
don and Paris. Conservative men
at home have shaken their heads
and have waited in surprise that
there was not a crash. And yet
the upward tendency continues
and the strong market shows a
firmness that indicates that the
boom is notlwholly or even largely
artificial. If this is true, reaction
will not be disastrous, and, in any
event, conditions are so changed
that flurries in Wall street no long
er threaten the country directly
with general panic.
The one danger from present
conditions in the speculation mark
ct is that it is likely to stimulate
a spirit of speculation throughout
the country. Men who do not
understand fully the tricks OF the
professional manipulation and who,
under the spell of the gambling
fever, are likely to plunge too deep>
ly in the hope Of attaining by a
single lucky stroke the power and
wealth which their ambition covets.
are those who are going to suffer
in the end, and through whom the
country is going to suffer. If these
men were only the representatives
of their own money in this gamb-
ling, their downfall would coun'
for little. 1t would be but an Incl
dent in the great community. In
dividual failure would call tor pass
sing sympathy, but no other inter-
est could be involved. The stock
gambler, however, is often the man
The daily sentinel., 1901-05-07

who is trusted with the money OF
others in one form or another.
Reason and all sense Of conversa-
ton leave him in the plunge for
great wealth and he carries with
him the money intrusted to his
keeping. His failure then invoices
himself, but an entire community.
Confidence is destroyed and with
that destruction comes prostration
that is widespread. The country's
real danger from the present specu-
lative period is not directly, but
thus indirectly.
1t is we'll for those unaccustomed
to trading in the stock exchange
and uninformed as to real and
probable values there to know the
stories of millions won ere almost
always exaggerated and very often
wholly untrue, that the field is full
OF companies organized for the sole
purpose of getting the money OF
inexperienced and that many ex>
plotted shares OF stock are absolut>
ly worthless. The man on Wall
street does not buy these, because
he is in position to know the truth.
but the inland speculator can be de-
ceived as to the situation and these
are the tools that are forced to his
attention, get his money and cause
his downfall The thousands who
lose>and many there must be to
lose when some are gaining-are
not heard Of Most of them, il
possible, concel their own losses,
hoping, as the gambler always
does to recoup them. 1t is time
that their fate should be given
prominence and the perils Of this
illegitimate investment discussed,
that the mad rush may be checked
and disaster prevented. Toledo

Vaccine c.,ve. Sold to Butchers.

Detroit Correspondence of the Chi
cago Tribune: Alexander Kettle and
Peter Hearth, meat inspectors, say that
In the last two months the carcasses OF
thirty calves. previously used to de-
velop vaccine virus. have been sold
to the various wholesale meat markets
on Cadillac square, and resold to re-
tail butchers. Hearth says: The in
oculated calves are easily distinguish
able at the market by their color,
which is paler than that of regular
veal. Butchers get it cheaper than
the meat of cattle that are free from
the incubation The firm selling
the meat says the calves are never dis
posed OF until they have fully recov-
cred from the effect of incubation and
claim that to prohibit the sale of the
calves would destroy the vaccine busi-
ness in Michigan.

the attainment of high degree Of ex-

environment. They see the other side

the carts and omnibuses OF the thor
oughfares They scarcely ever have
the visual attention directed strongly
to any object which is difficult to see
or which subtends visual angle ap-

Mo.nta' ms sesu to BE Engaged In A.
1setrical War.
Professor Ellsworth Huntington says
that during the geological trip through
an almost unvisited part of the Taurus
mountains in Turkey he heard of Pc
culiar electrical phenomenon. One Of
the natives told him that one noun
tain near his village fought with an
other mountain on the other side OF
the Euphrates river. The weapons
were balls of light, which the noun
tains threw at each other. Professor
Huntington thought at first, as the re-
gion was one of volcanic activity in
comparatively recent times, and as hot
springs and extinct craters are still
to be seen, that this must be a tradi-
tional account of a volcanic eruption.
He was, however. convinced subse-
quently that the story had its origin
In meteorological phenomenon. The
story is detailed to him by ten or
twelve men whom he saw at five diff
ferent places within an area OF forty
miles was as follows: A ball of fire
would start from one mountain and go
like flash to another. At the same
time there Is sound like thunder.
This occurs by night or by day, al
though by day no light is seen. 1t al
ways occurs when the sky Is clear and
never when it is cloudy. 1t sometimes
happens two or three times in a year,
and then again 1t is not seen for sew
eral years. For the last two years 1t
has not been seen. 1t hardly ever hap
pens except in the fall, at the end Of
a long, dry season of three months.
One of the mountains which he visited
was composed of metamorphic schis-
tose shale of the cretaceous age. Its
height is 1850 feet and It's top is COM
paratively fiat. According to one ac-
count the ball of fire was at first small,
but grew larger as it passed over. and
then grew smaller again. Professor
Huntington believed that in this case
the observer was standing between the
two mountains. While meteorologists
have not been ready with explanations
of these mysterious lightnings, it is
mentioned that there are peaks on the
Rocky mountains on which almost
continuous electrical discharges have
been observed, but they pass off into
the air quietly. like st. Elmos fire,
and never in great flashes from peak to
peak. 1t is also known that cloud or
mass of electrified air that has not
quite attained the cloudy condition
may lie between two peaks, and flashes
may proceed from it simultaneously to
the two peaks in such way as to lead
a careless observer to say that one
peak discharged over the other.

FIVE THOUSAND POETS.
Volumes in the Harris Library at Brow
UnIYersity.

Volumes in the Harris Library at Brown
University.
The greatest collection Of books Of
American poetry in the world is owned
by Brown university. 1t consists of
more than five thousand volumes. 1t
was bequeathed to the university by
Senator Anthony in 1884, and Is
known as the Harris library. 1t is re-
lated that William Cullen Bryant, In
the course of a correspondence with
Mr.. Harris concerning this collection,
wrote: Your work has amazed me
by showing me what multitudes OF
persons on our side of the Atlantic
have wasted their time in writing
verses in our language" AS an illus
tration of the value of some individual
books in this library it may be said
that Mr.. Harris paid $125 for an edi-
tion of the poems of Anne Bradstreet,
the earliest poet of New England, who
came over in 1890 Among other valu-
able first editions in the collection are
Longfellow's "Evangeline," copies OF
which have sold for seventy-five dol
lars, and Whittiers MOL Pitcher"
which has brought 800. The library
Is very complete in song books, says
the New Haven Register. college and
fraternity song books. Masonic song
books, temperance song books, and
song books of negro minstrels. slavery
and the rebellion. Albert Gorton
Greene, the original collector of this
library, graduated from Brown in 1S2O,
was Judge of the municipal court and
became an enthusiastic bibliophile.
When he died in 1868 his collection OF
Americana, consisting of 1000 vol
umes, came into the possession OF
Caleb Fiske Harris. who had great
love of books, and bought in every
quarter of the globe with little consid-
Grafton of price. He died in 1881.
Senator Anthony purchased that part
of his library relating to American
poetry, and added to it his own fine
collection. From him the library pass
ed to the university. This collection,
rich as it was, has been made more
valuable by the addition of books pro-
cured at the sale Of the private library
Of Thomas j. Mckee of New York
such books as were not to be found In
the Harris list. 1t is now possible to
estimate American poetry literally by
the mile, with the conviction that
much of it is better for measuring
than for reading purposes.-Youth's
