Many Material Advantages.

Committee. Boston Society of Civil
Engineers: by the adoption of the
metric system several material advan-
tages are to be gained in the details of
the surveyors work which are often
overlooked in our general view of its
mere important and extended benefits.
Apply the metric system to draughting.
l. We shall use the same scales that ar
chitects will >. We shall use the same
draughting scale for all plans from the
largest detail drawings to the smallest
maps. 3. a plain metric rule. such as
every man will carry in his pocket, will
afford a moderately convenient scale for
reading dimensions on all the common
est sizes of drawings. 4. If we write the
scale as n decimal fraction there will
be no ambiguity; large scales will be ex-
pressed by large numbers; small scales
by small numbers"

increase on the few small Granger roads

reduction in grain traffic, and on Central

Trunk lines also report considerable
increase, but on Southwestern roads the
gain is small, though compared with the
active year OF 1900 Southwestern roads

the St Paul Company, which has been
equally prosperous, will take similar
action at the next semi-annual divi-

Situation Becoming Acute.

How long this condition of affairs will
last no one can predict, but it is OBJ
viously becoming acute; and it is hard
Il conceivable that the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and the various local
authorities of that State will tolerate
much longer the forcible suspension Of
activity in one OF the most important in
dustries in the State.
Within short time the Individual
resources of the miners and those OF
the organization to which they belong
will be exhausted. This circumstance
will aggravate the situation tenn
porarily. The position taken by the
representatives of the owners of the
anthracite mines has resulted in some
what higher prices for the shares of
all the anthracite coal carrying roads
and an exceptional net advance OF 2Es
per cen. in Reading common.
There has been some improvement in
the bituminous coal situation this week,
and present Indications seem to be de
cidedly against the probabilities of
sympathetic strike by the bituminous
miners in the region north of the Ohio
River.

joyed' the greatest net advances are

Publication of Letters.

The publication Of the correspondence

cite coal carrying roads and the officials
of the United N'ne Workers has given
the public palmer and more intelli-
gent understanding of the situation than
prevailed before the real question IN
the controversy was brought out by the
United States Commissioner of Labor.
1t is significant that the officers of the
United Mine Workers nave not sought
to question or contradict the statements
made by the presidents of the anthracite
coal carrying roads.
Undoubtedly they are endeavoring to
prevent lawlessness in the anthracite
region; at the same time they are re
sponsible for the condition of affairs

NEW YORK, June 1l.-Althoush the
dealings in stocks this week have been
light, averaging less than three hun
dred thousand shares for the FIVE and
q half days of business. they have been
somewhat larger than for the previous
week and the tendency of prices has in
the main been toward higher level.
The market for securities has, 10 an
extent, shown q disposition TO cut away
from the influence of the anthracite
coal strike, that is. stocks not directly
affected by that occurrence have re-
sponded to the specific influences affect
ing them, and at the same time it looks
as if the speculators were beginning to
discount the collapse of the strike.

The Spider Mystery.

How does a spider spin a thread
from one bush to another at a
height from the ground and then
draw 1t SO tight? asks correspond
end in the New Century. Everyone
who has ever walked through a
country lane early in the morning
has felt the strained threads upon
the face, and often these threads are
many yards long, but the way in
which it is done remains a mystery.
He does not fly across, drawing the
thread after him, for he has no
wings. Neither does he decend to
the ground and then climb the oppo-
site bush, for this would lead to i'm
mediate and hopeless ENHANCEMENT
of the gOssamer filament. How,
then, does he do it?
M. Favier a French scientist, has
discovered that thread one yard
long will support by It's own buoyan-
cy I'm the air the weight of young
spider. It would thus be in the
power Of juvenile to spin thread
OF that length and trust to air
currents to carry across and attach
it to an opposite bush so that he
himself could then pass over and
draw it tight. But many of these
threads, to judge from their strength
and consistency, are not the work of
young spiders, and, as every OBJ
server knows, they are often many
yards long and draw so tightly that
the face is instantly aware of their
presence when breaking them. The
work Is nearly always done in the
night time, so that observation is
difficult.
