The power capable of being recov-
cred from LIQUID air is only 2 per cent
of that required to liquify it. And
this in theoretically perfect engine,
Therefore liquified air is not to be
the coming motor, until this great
loss of energy is prevented.
One of the most important indus
tries attaching to the cheap power
now produced by Niagara is the
electrical tearing apart of the mole
cule of common salt, resulting in the
formation of caustic soda and bleach
ing powder.

MONTGOMERY SET RIGHT.

Alderman A. u. Montgomery was
appointed a committee of one by
the mayor to ascertain if the property
owners on Main street, on the west
side, would be willing to pay for the
material if the city would do the
work Of laying the pipes and thus en-
close the big ditch on that side from
the court house to the railroad. .
Mr.. Montgomery, so he tells the
Progress, went to see every property
owner aud all were willing to the
proposition made by the city. He
then reported that all was Satis4; r.
tory. But afterwards he remFmbe ed
that he had not seen X. NcIHnis,
whose property is about half way of
the distance. He Immediately went
to see him, but he refused to expend
any money for the purchase Of the
material and hence the pipes caDuot
be laid except from his property 10 the
railroad unless the city sees proper to
pay for his part or the money is made
up OTHERWISE.
Mr. Montgomery asks the Progress
to make this correction as the report
has been circulated that the entire
work from the court house to the rail
road would be done as soon as the ma
terial arrives.

Some of the papers of Alabama
want the railroad commission of that
state abolished. If it is like the one
Mississippi has it should not only be
abolished, but the members should be
made to pay back the salaries they
have received since the office has been
created. If it has ever done any
good the fact has slipped our memory.
One thing sure, it has never done any
good for this section Of the state.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

SulCdkO oIdlh anu IlONASA0ho'
 Chicago. Nov. 1.-Dullness prevailed on the Board of Trade again today and with general liquidation prices had down ward tendency. December wheat closing l-2c lower. December corn 5-Sc lower ana oats 3-S to 1-2c lower. January provisions closed 12 1-2 to 27 1-2 lower.
 Statistics were all against wheat and the market ruled weak throughout the day with the exception of some steadi- ness early. Longs again threw a lot or stuff on the market and with no support prices declined steadily. Large primary receipts and rapidly accommodating stocks were the principal bear features. Selling by the Southwest was also weakening influence. Worlds shipments were esti- mated at about 100000 bushels and a liberal increase was looked for in the vis- fable supply. December opened shade lower to a shade higher at 72 1-2d72 5-S and after holding fairly steady the first hour. the market gave way and the price dropped to 72 The close was 1-2c lower at 72672 Is. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 729.000 bushels. Prl- mary receipts were 1,593,000 against 1'3l0,- 900 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of SS0 cars which. with local receipts of 121 cars, seven contract, made total receipts for the three points or l.O01 cars, against 10S2 last week and ls2O d year ago.
 Weakness in wheat effected the corn market and after fairly steady opening, prices weakened WiIn the lower ten dency stop loss orders became general and these offerings lent an impetus to the downward trend. There was little de- mand for May shorts being about the only buyers, while longs had a consider able amount to offer. Trading in Decem- her was light and there was wide fuc- tuation on limited transactions. The close was weak, December closing 5-S lower at 20 1-2650 5-8, after selling between 90 l-2 and 51 5-S. Local receipts, 274 cars, fifty seven of contract grade.
 Oats ruled weak, particularly May on selling by commission houses influenced by weakness in other grains Trade was of larger volume than of late with the local sentiment decidedly bearish. The close was easy, December 3-S4l-2c lower at 29 3-5@29 7-s. after selling between 29 3-4 and 30 IA. Local receipts, 274 cars
 Provisions were subjected to a steady selling pressure, longs being the princi- pal sellers. The market was extremely weak throughout the day and the close was lower Large receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards was the de- pressing influence. January pork closed 27 1-2 lower at 15.32 1-2, January lard 200 lower at 9.12 1-2, and ribs i5c lower at SIC.

A SILVER SKULL.
Injured Brain Cleansed and Patient
 Makes Light of Accident.

Chicago, Ill.-"I believe there is not In medical records a case exactly like that of John Daley of this city, who is liv- ing and happy. with the right side of his skull gone and the brain exposed so that the pulsations are visible at every beat of the mans heart" said Dr. J. C. Hepburn today.
 1t is not correct, as reported, that half of the patients brain has been removed, but the case is a most remarkable one for all that Two weeks ago Daley Tell four stories and his head struck on an iron beam. The blow was such that the frontal temporal occipital and parietal bones were all fractured and splinterei.
 "'rhe bones were in such shattered con- ditton that they were useless as protec- tion for the brain, and those that were not already cleft away by the blow it. self were removed, leaving practically the whole right lobe without osseous cover ing.
 was the fact that the membrane which covers the brain was badly ruptured. leaving the delicate tissue exposed and hanging out. Ordirarily death would have ensued almost instantly, but Daley was very much alive when laid on the operating table.
 'The operation performed consisted of removal of the bone particles and sew ing of the broken membranes. Many eral edges together, the brain having first been thoroughly cleansed of foreign mat ter.
 q was greatly surprised at the rapid recovery of the patient. Daley is per- fectly conscious and in jovial spirits, and there seems no reason why he should not be sent out of the hospital before long with a partially artificial skull and fit to earn his own living again.
 Daley is "A years old, with strong physique and healthful blood The break in the brain covering has healed beau tifully and the stitches were removed today.
 "The thing most feared in the case of Daley was that he would become victim of cerebral meningitis. Strange to say. there have been no symptoms of that trouble, and l have no anxiety on that score new.
 "The patient is not only conscious and rational, but Is in a bright and normal mental mood. He understands his con- dition and tries to make light of it, a disposition which is much in his favor.
 "A secondary operation will now be performed. This will consist of the fitting of an artificial plate in lieu of skull. as a protection of the brain. We have every hope that the coming operation will be quite as successful as the first.
 When that shall have been demon strated we will give to the medical world the full particulars of the case, the con dition of the patient at the various stages and the features that have made the case a striking one from profes- sonal viewpoint.
 "0reat care will have to be exercised in the substitution of the artificial skull or plate for the natural covering of the hrain It goes without saying that there must not be any undue pressure on the surface of the brain lest it should result in affecting the mental faculties, as of- ten occurs in cases of concusslon.
 Physicians of Chicago who have heard of the case are eagerly awaiting pro- fesSional report on it.

WALL STREET REVIEW.
AN UNDERToNE OF IRREGULAR
 ITY PREvAILS
Holiday in London and Approaching Holiday in New York Caused the Market to Rule Dull
 and Marrow.

New York. Nov. With the holiday In London and the coming holiday here. the local market ruled even duller and more narrow today. Moderate inactivity ana slightly higher prices were shown at the, opening, though there was an under tone of irregularity. The greatest gains at the opening were in Manhattan, St.
 Louis and San Francisco and Colorado Fuel and Iron. Apparent covering, Read ing, brought a fractional advance in that stcck. and 1t was reported that one firm of brokers had bid 67 1-4 for any part of 100000 shares of the common. Other points of early strength were Rock Island and Canadian Pacific. The special class was most prominent. but fluctuations were insignificant. Many of the standard is- sues were neglected, Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis, which opened with a one-point advance, lost all its gain and more on moderate transactions, The buying of Colorado Fuel was attributed to two widely different interests and was the only feature of the industrial class. Manhattan's strength was not sustained, the stock making a net loss on ,cempara- lively heavy transactions of over point. The bank staten ant had not entered very seriously into the calcula ations of trad CTS. yet it was rather better than many looked for. and the selling which followed it's publication lacked explanation The closing was dull and weak The surpris- ing feature of the bank statement showed that three of the large banks carried heavy surpluses. and it is assumed that these institutions put their holdings into the loan market this week. The large gain in cash was due chiefly to last weeks payments for Government honda some Of which were purchased too late to figure in the statement of the week. The furth- CT increase of circulation indicates that the banks have been acting on Secretary Shaw's suggestion to strengthen their po- sitions in this particular. For Satur- day there was unusual activity In foreign exchanges. Demand bills were quoted at $4 86. 80 to 4.SG.S5, with a fairly good in- quiry for remittances by the coming weeks steamers There was some talk of special gold shipments to Austria, but details were not obtairfable.
