Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L. Me-

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. l.. Me-
 Lean X Co,
 New York, March 26.-The market to- day was inclined to dullness, a great deal of which was probably due to sus- pension of operations by insiders owing to the coming holidays.
 The Atchison system reports net earnings for February of $1696 900, an increase over February last year, of $lS6,Q00 Estimates of earnings from other quarters are fully as good, and in all probability will continue so at least another year.
 The repeal of the war tax bill, which goes into effect July 1, should have a great effect on the money market, as the continual absorption of money by the government from this point, amounting to something over $100O,000 per month, will cease, and currency is again beginning to turn towards this center.
 In our opinion the better class of stocks are great purchase on all reac- tions, and we again advise buying Amalgamated Copper in spite of the bear talk and evident attempt of the insiders to force lower prices, but would place a stop order just below 60. It is barely possible that the stock will sell at 30, but the chances are good that it will sell above par first.

Passing of the Lightning Rod.

The day of the lightning rod is
passing. The governments latest
census returns show that Franklin S
invention for protecting the house
is used today. No electrical manu-
featuring establishment reports it
among the products, and SO far as
the census expert has been able to
learn only one American electrical
engineering firm makes business
of setting up the rods or designing
them. So far as large cities are
concerned disastrous lightning
strokes are reported to be more
rare, and the decrease is accounted
sor by the network of electrically
charged wires and other apparatus
with which the city is now inter-
woven and surrounded.

Men Who Do and Men Who Don't

Men, after all, are, and always
will be, Of two kinds-the men
who accomplish and the men who
don't. The other day there was
an important conference at the Of
flee OF one Of the biggest men in
American finance. 1t began early
III the morning, and at noon it
was not concluded. Promptly at
IL: 80 the clerks went out to lunch.
The fnancier apologized to one of
his stenographers for keeping him
ten minutes after the regular hour
indeed, if it had occurred often
the stenograpller would have in
dlsnantly sought another position.
He did not, however, apologize to
the other seven or eight million
aires who sat about his desk until
well after 7 O'Clock with no
thought OF luncheon or dinner.
These men are willing to make the
sacrifice which success demands.
There is no dearth of openings
for the man who will fit himself
to accomplish. The fact is that the
development of business has been
more rapid than the development
of men, and today there is a great
er need OF men Of the right sort
than ever, and every great busi~
ness is looking for them.

When is a Frog a Frog.

The question convulsing France
just now is, When is a frog a frog
1t arose thus: One day last June
two Frencllrnen were caught red
handed on the national domain in
the act of what was supposed to be
fishing, and charged according.
But when they came before the
magistrate they pleaded that they
were not guilty, inasrnuch as they
were frosging, not fishing, and the
magistrate discharged them. The
case was then brought before q
court Of appeal, which sustained the
ruling of the court below, albeit the
the local chief of the lake and forest
department appeared to support the
case and maintained that a frog was
to all intents and purposes FISH.
Now the court of cassation VIII
probably be asked to adjudicate the
case.

Royalty and Surgeons.

A magnificent sturgeon weighing
40 pounds was on view recently in
London. In earlier days such an
exhibition would probably have led
to the confscation of the fish by the
kings officers, for the sturgeon is
royal fish, and was made by an
act Of Edward II. perquisite of the
sovereign along with wrecks and
whales. The lord mayor Of London
has the right to all surgeons caught
in the Thames above London bridge,
and it would be interesting to know
when the ri ght was last exercised.
Tie largest sturgeon fisheries are in
the Volga and Caspian sea and in
the Great Lakes of America, and in
these places the manufacture of
caviare is conducted on a large
scale, which shows that the taste
for that dainty is more widespread
than ii was in Shakespeare's day.

An irish Bull.

A fine specimen OF the bull is
to be credited to Sir Thomas
Myles, an eminent Irish surgeon,
and an ex-president of the college
OF surgeons in Ireland. He made
it in the course of speech de-
livered at the meeting of the So
licitors' Apprentices Debating
Society in Dublin. The subject Of
the address was Cecil Rhodes. :"
Sir Thomas paid high tribute to
the force of character, the spirit
Of personal independence, and the
indomitable courage of Engglis!,-
men. He pictured the British en-
pire as having been in danger at
the time of the late war, and ask
ed with emphasis. "Was England
to stand with her arms folded and
her hands in her pockets ?" When
he realized from the attitude of
his audience what he had done,
he observed that his only apology
was that he was an Irishnan.

Automobile as a Climber.

A rather curious performance has
Just been made with an automobile
at Copenhagen, according to the Pill
grim. The town possesses a circu-
lar tower 100 feet in height, which
was formerly used for astronomical
purposes. Its top is only reached by
ascending a spiral passage twelve
feet broad, which winds between the
outer walls Of the tower and an in
ner circular wall. An automobile
OF five horse power, weighing 200
pounds, and carrying three persons,
ascended the tower recently by this
pdssaoe, taking one minute to do the
journey, and afterward making the
much more dangerous decent with
equal success. II is Of interest to re-
call that the Gar Peter the Great,
on visiting Copenhagen in I716,
made the same ascent and decent
in carriage drawn by four horses.

Mountains Are Movinu,

The mountains are constantly

speaking of the great landslides in

Springs, Col,. I'VE find from ac-
tual experience in maintaining tun-
nels, bridges and tracks in the
mountains that the mountains are
moving. 1t costs a railway passing
through the mountains a great deal
OF money in the course of ten wears
to keep the track in line, and main
tenance of tunnels is even more en-
pensive. Drive a stake on the side
OF a mountain, take location with
the greatest care, and return after
few months. The stake is not in
the same location. The whole side
OF the mountain has moved. This
experiment has often been tried,
and IN all cases the result proves
that the mountains are moving. The

were more than usually courteous
and who vociferated the word Of
welcome, he couldn't repress his
astonishment any further. "Yes,"
he said, Il am from Ohio, and
from eherson county; but how did
you fellows get on to the fact ?"

"Whipdoa Day."

St. Luke's was formerly known as
whipdog day, especially in York,
England, from a custom that school
boys had of whipping all dogs seen
in the streets on that day. Whence
the persecution took it's rise is un-
certain, but its origin is usually
traced in the following vague ira
dition: A priest celebrated mass
at the festival of St. Luke. unfortu-
1rately dropped the host after con-
secration, and it was snatched up
and swallowed by dog that was
lying hid under the table. The pro-
fanation occasioned the death of the
dog, and persecution was began
which was continued on the ami
versary for several centuries.

Clerical Anti Celibacy Movement.

A clerical anti-celibacy movement
is developing in Italy, especially in
the southern provinces. and attracts
the attention of the Vatican. En-
ergetical papal measures are inmi-
nent to crush the movement. Such
movement is not new to the
church. 1t exists more or less la
tently in all South America. and
several countries in Europe, espec-
tally Hungary. An ex-nuncio says
the Vatican is obliged to take no
notice of the irregular conduct Of
the Hungarian clergy to avoid
possible schisul, and several eminent
Catholics are now convinced that the
marriage Of priests is preferable to
the present state of things. 1t is
not likely, however, that the Vatican
will at present give way, although
the church recognizes of priestl
among the o,ooo,ooo Catholics of

Message Round tho World.

When congratulatory messages
were exchanged the other day be-
tween British officials over the COM
pletion of the new British Pacific
cable. none seems to have thought of
sending cable message clear
around the world, which was now
possible for the first time in the his
tory of mankind. The idea did oc-
cur to Charles J. Glidden, of Bos-
ton, on November {; the novelty Of
it struck his fancy. SO he wrote a
message, "Around the world dir
ected to himself in Boston, and or
dered it send by way of Vancouver
and Australia. Not being rush
message, no haste was made any
where and when it reached him in
Boston thirty eight hours and twen-
ty minutes had elapsed. Anyone, it
appears, can do the same thing, if
he or she is willing to spend about
SI2 to pay the cable and telegraphic
tolls. The message did cot turn up
IN Boston, by the way, with entire
accuracy. 1t came in somewhat
wetler-beaten, as it were, reading
"Gledden' instead Of Glidden and
with "Around' transformed into
"Armund." The two words, "the
world,' went through safe and
sound.
