RICHES.

Have you little baby boy
A few months more than two years old,
With soft brown eyes that brim with Joy
And silken ringlets bathed in gold,
Who, toddhng, follows you around
And plays beside you near the hearth;
Whose prattle is the sweetest sound
To you of all glad notes OF earth!
Have you little baby boy
Who, when the voice Of slumber calls,
Reluctant leaves each tattered toy
And in your strong arms weary falls;
Who, yawning, looks with sleepy eyes
Into your own and family smiles;
Then shuts his lids and quiet lies,
And drifts away to dreamland's isles!
Have YOU little one like this,
VINO puts all troubling thoughts to flight
When, climbing up, he plants kiss
OF love upon your lips at night?
If so, then humbly bow your knee
And lift your heart in thankful prayer,
For you are richer far than he
Who, childless, is millionaire

Men sometimes dream Of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, be-
low the reach Of miners, but according
to the statements Of Professor G. r..
Van Hise, at the Denver meeting of
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, there is little or
no ground to believe that valuable me-
tallic deposits lie very deep in the
earth's crust. Such deposits he said,
are made by underground waters, and
owing to the pressure on the rocks at
great depths, the waters are confined
to q shell near the surface. With few
exceptions, ore deposits become too
lean to repay working below 5000 feet
Nine mines in ten, taking the world as
a whole, are poorer in the second thou
sand feet than in the first thousand,
and poorer yet in the third thousand
than in the second.

Professor Davis, of Harvard Unlver-
sity. has recently discussed the trans
formation Of water waves as they run
in toward shore lines of different
forms, with especial reference to the
refraction of waves on headlands and
in bays, and to the formation of surf.
Waves break as surf, he concludes,
not so much on account Of a retarda-
tion of the base Of the waves by its
friction on the bottom, as is often
assumed, as on account of the absence
of water in front OF the advancing
mass.

Recent observations on the gases Of
the blood during a balloon ascension
show: First, that the faculty of fixing
oxygen possessed by the haemogoblin
of the blood is not diminished as the
atmospheric pressure diminshes but, on
the contrary, increased (at least at the
attitudes attained); second, up to $500
metres the carbonic acid gas contained
in the blood does not follow the law OF
solution Of gases-on the other hand,
it follows the inverse Of this law;
third, the nitrogen contained In the
blood does follow the law of solution,
and escapes from the blood in proper
tion as the atmospheric pressure is low
cred; fourth, the total quantity Of gas
In the blood increases with the alti-
tude; fifth, the quantity of oxygen and
Of carbonic acid in the blood increases
with the altitude.

A new incandescent electric lamp
has recently been brought out which
makes the electric headlights for city
and suburban cars possibility. The
new lamp is known as the "stereop-
ticon," and consists Of a tilament in
the form of a compact conical helix,
with a maximum diameter Of perhaps
one.half inch, making it possible to
focus the lamp in a headlight. One Of
these lamps of thirty-two candle
power is capable Of lighting up a
straight stretch of track tOya distance
of 600 feet on a clear, dark night.
Professor w. w. Campbell, the d.
rector of the Lick Observatory In sum-

party sent from that observatory to
study the total eclipse of the sun in

eral conclusion to be drawn Is that
the coronal structure surrounding the
sun is made up Of matter, probably
very finely divided, elected from the
surface of the sun with great veloci-
ties, Just as we have matter elected,
now and then, from terrestrial volca-
noes, with comparatively small veloci-
ties.

Some of the scientists have lately
been considering the question whether
the swinging of our arms is to help
us in walking or running or is habit
inherited from our supposedly four
footed ancestors. The conclusion is
against the last named theory The
movements of the legs tend to give the
body rocking, rotary motion on ver-
tical axis, and the arms, each swing
ing in unison with the leg on the op-
posite side, give a contrary motion,
which has the effect Of balancing the
body. ...

cREAToRE
THE WONDER OF THE MUSIC
WORLD.

"He does not lead his band. He
caioles, pleads, begs, cries, entreats. com,
mands, urges, inspires and drives himself
and his men into musical frenzy that Is
almost pathological. But the man Is no
charlatan nor cheater. All that he does
he does unconsciously and because ne feels
it. Today he is town talk
In these words are given truthful ana
graphic description in action OF Creatore
pronounced Kray-a-to-ray) the Italian
bandmaster who has set all New York
music mad, and will appear at the New
Exposition, Pittsburg, from Wednesday,
September "a, until Saturday, October T.
inclusive. o..
Creatore, is a wonder, a very musical,
whirlwind and cyclone, absolutely the
most startling personality the band world
has any record of. He conducts band OF
fifty players, and produces effects so sensa-
tional, and climaxes of such volcanic
power that the listener is electrified, in
voluntarily clutches his seat, and simply IS
forced to "sit up" AT first hearing one
ia inclined to ridicule and belittle
Creatore's violent mannerisms, but little by
little the terrific earnestness and superior
musicianship of the man assert themselves,
the scoffer of moment before becomes the
most devoted of admirers and hangs
breathlessly upon every move of the man
who is hypnotizing his players into
''breathing" the music into which ne IS
throwing the vigor and temperament OF
dozen men.
The New Exposition management has
not accepted Creatore upon heresay, but
has had its own representatives hear and
see him under varying conditions, and for
that reason asserts with confidence that he
will take his audience absolutely by storm.
Suburbanites will regret it all their
lives if they fail to hear this marvellous
man and his band, not once only, but re-
peatedly. For their convenience all rail-
roads leading into Pittsburg have made
preparations to handle with ease enormous
crowds of excursionists at the one-fare rate.
While the New Exposition music is its
great attraction, the high excellence of the
| displays and special features must not be
overlooked. OF exhibitors there are forty
two more than last year, and the excellent
character of their exhibits, notably in
Mechanical hall, have been the talk Of
the town"

TENDENCY TO SETTLE DOWN.
Market Showed Inclination to Re-
sumo Its Normal Condition,
Wednesday.

New York, Oct. 2.-There were
traces Of .feverishness in the stock
market yesterday ard constant Varia-
lions in the course of prices all day.
but the tone became quieter as the
day progressed, and affairs OF the mar
ket showed tendency to settle down
to O. normal condition after the ex-
element of the previous two days.
The rush On the part OF those long
on stock to take profits in the open
ing dealings yesterday morning was
entirely natural, considering the buoy
ant uprush CT prices at the closing
Tuesday night, and considering also
the denials on the part OF officials
among the coal operators that there
was any basis for Tuesdays rumors
Of a settlement.
These >ru--,oTs continued to play a
part in the market and the principal
strength Of the Gay was shown by the
coal stocks, the buying of Reading
apparently coming from inside
sources. The same powerful interest
was credited with the support OF
other stocks, notably United States
Steel and Southern Railway, and the
sentimental effect Of this buying was
a potent factor in rallying the mar
ket from it's opening depression. The
only actual news that became public
before the close Of the market con-
corning the strike situation was the
invitation Of President Roosevelt for
q meeting with him Of the represent
atives of the mine operators and the
miners. The sympathetic effect OF the
buying of Reading Southern Railway
and United States Steel was manifest
among the coalers generally, both an
thracite and bituminous, and among
several of the independent steel com
panies. But the buying was not pur-
sued to a notably higher level, and
there were constant reactions through
out the day. In the final hour the
money rate ran up to the highest
point Of the day and induced consid'
cradle selling. making the closing
easy and moderately active.

pounds; gluten Or cottonseed meal two
and a half pounds: cOwpea. alfalfa or

Ten Pumping Rigs Destroyed with Loss
OF About $50, O0O-How the
Fire Originated.

New Orleans, Sept. ia special
from Beaumont, Tex, to The States
says: The fire has destroyed ten pump

tank. 1t covers an area of about an
acre in the northwest corner of the
Keith-Ward tract. in which there are
about twenty-five wells. One of these
is the gusher, which is on fire.
a field force of 300 men under ].
c. Cullinan has been organized to fight
the fire. The present damage is esti-
mated at $4,000 The rest of the field
is not considered in jeopardy.
At daylight yesterday morning the
fire had burned itself out and last
night there were only four wells and
two tanks burning One of the wells
was a gusher and there will be much
trouble experienced in eXtinguishing it.
The smaller wells can be easily han
died. as the fire is principally fed by
gas. The oil is being drawn from the
tanks as rapidly as possible.
The fire was started by the care
lessness Of a wOrkmen, whose name
has not yet been ascertained. He went
into tank-Which was partly filed
with oil-with Il lighted lantern. and
there was an explosion of gas which
ignited the oil. The man escaped,
though he is said to have been badly
burned. The Wood gusher had been
left open and it was ignited within
few minutes. Before an alarm could
be given to control the burning tank
the flame leaped high in the air, the
derrick caught fire and so did the oil
which was standing around the we'll.
The ignition was comparatively slow.
but the fire once started spread rapid
