Thirteens Autdid Him.

A gentleman tells why he failed to
secure house wnen he took day off
to look for one.
He made a note OF half dozen or
more vacant dwellings in the neigh
borhood where he wished to locate
and started out to inspect them. The
first was Number Thirteen, but he was
so occupied in the details Of his search
that he failed to notice the omlnouS
figures. While he was gazing at the
front OF the dwelling and thinking that
it looked all right, friend came along
the street.
whats doing?' inquired the friend
Looking at this house." was the re-
ply. Il am thinking OF renting it"
For Heavens sake don't do that,
responded the other. Don't you see
it is Number Thirteen? Besides, this
is the thirteenth day OF the month
Don't make such break as that"
With his attention called to the coin
cidence the house hunter concluded
that he would not complete the deal
He took out his list to see what other
houses were on it, and, to his astoniSh-
ment, found that each one had thirteen
in its number.
Il quit right there" he said after
ward. Il am not superStitlouS, but my
aunt, who lives with me, is, and | can
not put her against such a combina-
ton OF thirteens."

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

X. G. Dun & Company's "Weekl!
Review of Trade" says:
Trade and industry are making
steady progress, reports from all sec.
tons OF the country containing evil
dences OF wholesome development. Ar
unusually large fall distribution oc.
Cured and current transactions in
heavier goods are liberal considering
the mildness of the season.
The only development OF note in the
iron and steel market has been the 10
per cent. reduction in price OF tin
plates to take effect December I.
While some change was anticipated,
the trade was not prepared for so large
a cut. If the recent lowering Of price
lists i'll certain sections OF the market
should stimulate foreign trade, there
will be occasion for qualification, as
some exceptional export movement is
needed to offset. the heavy imports Of
pig iron and billets.
Contracts run far into the future in
structural material for bridges and
buildings, while plates are sought by
car works and shipyards. High pre-
miums are still paid for prompt deliv-
cry, but most shipments are on old
contracts placed at regular list prices.
'Jobbing trade is comparatively
quiet, except in Pennsylvania, and mild
weather has restricted retail sales.
Some decline in the raw material
did not produce any lower offering
prices for cotton goods, although it
made buyers all the more anxious to
delay placing contracts. Recorder bus

Raising tho Wind.

= When a certain late Shah OF Persia
became temporarily embarrassed toi
money he had quite unique, methoo
of filling his purse. He would go to
the market, where, after examining
the shops, he would select one and,
turning to the proprietor, would say
"Will you take me in as partner IN
YOUR business for the day. The ottei
was. OF course, accepted. The Shah
would take his seat near the shop, en-
trance and say to his courtiers, whom
he always took with him on these oc'
casions: Now, I'm the salesman
Who'll buy?" The latter, not daring
to refuse the offer OF the royal mer,,
chant, set about clearing the shop o.
its contents, paying sometimes two
hundred and fifty dollars for good:
.sshs. a fifty E.. d0l dowo the the
prices ITO leave the place without
making purchases. When everything
was sold the Shah had a list OF the
cost price OF each article made out
and Loyalty shared with the shopkeepeI
the amount OF the profits realized.

mirror which was less than fourteen

Further Tests to Be Made.
Messages were sent on this occasion
between Emperor Williams tower on
the Havel to an island near Potsdam,
and though the mirror was so small
and the light consequently so imperfect
the sounds were distinctly heard at
both places and persons were easily
able to converse with each other. The
distance in this case was fully four
and quarter miles.
The inventor, however, was appar-
emily not entirely satisfied, and ar
engagements are now being made to ex-
pertinent further at an early date.
These experimentsSwill consist in send
ing messages between two stations
which will be about nine miles from
each other, or more than double the
previous distance, and it is probable
that the two places selected will be

This prompt action on the part Of
the government is generally regarded
as positive proof that the new system
of wireless telephony will soon be in
troduced into the army and navy, one
reason being because they are already
well equipped with searchlights similar
to those which are used in connec-
ton with this system, and another be-
cause the cost of the new apparatus
is much less than that of ordinary tel
ephone construction.
The new system is said to possess
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-19

three great advantages over the one
now in use. One is that by means OF 1t
messages can be sent a hundred times
more rapidly than at present; another
is that replies to all messages received
can be sent instantaneously, If de-
sired, and the third is that perfect Sc
crecy is at all times assured. -
The one disadvantage of the system
is that the distance to which messages
can be transmitted is limited. Experts
are confident that the system will
prove effective for a distance of 125 or,
possibly, for $50 or It's miles, but they
say that under present conditions that
is Us much as can be expected. AT the
same time, they maintain that this
cannot prove serious detriment to the
success of the system, since the cost OF
a wireless telephone is so small that
the instruments are bound to come into
use everywhere.
Those who witnessed the recent ex-
periments on the Wannsee agree in
saying that they will not forget them
as long as they live. And no wonder,
for never before was such an exhibit
ton given. There, beside the dark
water and within hailing distance of
half a dozen vessels, flashed a brilliant
light, a dazzling electric eye, and now
and then the radiant beam from this
light actually spoke.
Wireless telephony is a natural CO.
rollary to wireless biography. The
same great laws Of nature are at the
basis Of both human inventions. But
wireless biography is now fact, ac-
ccpted by scientists and by the public.
Wireless telephony, on the other hand,
is still in the air. Scientists are in
tercsted in its possibility as established
in England and Germany. The many

DR.. Hans Goldschmidt, of Essen, is

primarily means the utilizing of enor-

ton which led to the perfecting of the
process was instigated by Herr Krupp,
who desired to procure carbon-fr free
chromium.
In discussing the discovery Clarence
b. Schultz said:
'To sum up briefly the value Of our
discovery it involves: 1st, the produce
ton of carbon-free, practically pure
chromium, manganese, ferrotitanium

Many years ago, 1t was known that
metal chlorides and, in a less degree,
metallic oxides when mixed with pow
dered aluminium under certain tenn
perature conditions set up a vigorous
chemical action. But it was difficult to
start the reaction. AS the mixture was
placed in crucible which was put in
a suitable furnace any regulation of
the reaction was impossible because Of
it's sudden and vigorous nature.
