But One Development.

The only absolutely new development
in the transportation industry this week
was the announcement that the ST.
Louis and San Francisco Company has
secured control of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad.
The speculation in stocks this week
has been checked to a considerable ex-
3tent by the fairly large exports of spe-
Gle and this development. in connection
with the expansion of the loans shows
that the Western contingent and other
important interests have been wise IN
suspending aggressive operations on the
long side.
The dealings in stocks today were very
light and the tone of the market was
firm until after the publication of the
bank statement. The selling subsequent
to that publication was chiefly by room
traders. The heaviest dealings were in

Facts About Old Lace.
PASSING OLE TIE VEIL.

King Edward and Queen Alexandra
have had their last mourning photos
taken. The official term of grief has
expired, and their royal ~highnesses will
hereafter be taken in the ermine and
the purple, but not in black.
The Queen has laid aside her veil of
Grape, upon which the crown posed SO
jauntily in the spring and summer, and
now she wears the most beautiful COS
tunes In vari-colors, though for the
most part in gray, as her majesty is
very partial to that shade. The King
will hereafter don his army uniform
or wear citizens clothes, as may please
him, but the heavy deal black of
mourning will not be noticed, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The last mourning photo of their
majesties shows them in full regalia,
but with the weeds upon them. The
King, ever gallant, holds the Queens
fingers in his own, and the Queen
stands just a little in the background
as BELTS a consort. Her majesty is
sweet-faced as ever, but a trife thin.
Though a woman past middle life, she
still holds her own and is now, as she
has been for the past generation, the
prettiest royal lady in Europe. Their
mourning picture is to be perpetuated
in a beautiful painting to be immedi-
ately executed by the court painter.

The sun shone iercely down in the

lumber and muttering imprecations as
he dug his heel savagely in the hot
sand.

Mr.. Billy started and looked up, to
find himself confronted by an atom. 1t
was a feminine atom, dressed in a torn
pink frock, with a shock of mud-col-
Ored hair and the bluest eyes that ever
looked out of a dirty face. The atom
dragged after it a wagon made of
pasteboard, mounted on empty spools,
IN which reclined with what grace it
might a doll formed from a stick of
kindling wood wrapped in a bit of cal

The atom smiled graciously at the
compliment, and as often as she saw
Mr.. Billy in the days that followed
she'd wave a stately hand at him, and
he would respond with a "How's my
little wretch?" in a big voice that rang
through the yards.
One day Mr.. Billy was at home with
an attack of what he called. for want
of a better name, "the durndest fever
a fellow ever had" when his small
protege came to harm. She had a skip
ping rope in her hand and was wan

a freight car of lumber backed into the

tugged to repossess herself of it her
foot slipped under the car and was

directly she lay quiet until one of the
men passed near where she was. Then
she lifted her voice in a piteous cry.

They carried her to the hospital and
summoned her mother, and after the
surgeons had removed the crushed
member and made the patient as COM
Portable as possible she began to get

The cultivation of coco, says a wri-
ter in the Scientific American, is at
present an inviting agricultural pur-
suit in Trinidad and parts of Venezu-
ella. The coco tree cannot Withstand
strong sunshine, and the young plants
have to be shaded by banana or plain
tain trees, and later, when they attain
their growth, by tall trees known as
"immortels," or the mother Of the
COCO" These make a kind of canopy
over the entire plantation. The fruit
of the coco tree is a pod, resembling
a cucumber and growing on the trunk,
or large branches, where it looks as
though it were artificially attached"
The seeds are like large, thick Lima
beans embedded in pulp. These form
the COCO beans of commerce. The
processes of curing and drying require
much attention.

THE PERILs OF BALLooNING.

The pert.ous journey of seven nen
and one woman in Professor Baldwin's
air ship. near San Francisco the other
day merely emphasizes what has al
ready been demonstrated by M, Santos
Dumont in his experiment at Paris.
and by other a%eronauts, that man will
neve be able to successfully steer
through the air in a balloon.
In that Incompatible calm that rests
upon the French capital in the au-
tumn days Santos-Dumont was able
to steer his dirigible balloon in a fixed
circle upon several occasions, but it
was noted that when he encountered
atmospheric disturbances he lost con-
troll Of his air ship to such an extent
as to place his life in great peril and
upon n or two occasions was res
cued with much difficulty.
In the thrilling ride at San Francis
co, in which the occupants of the bal
loon were swept over a distance OF a
hundred miles in less than two hours
a mile above the earth, the machine
was completely at the mercy of the
breezes. At n time they were swept
out over the ocean, dipping at times
so close to the surface of the water
that all occupants expected to be
drowned, and then rising to great al
titudes, finally being carried back over
the land by a breeze from the sea,
dragged through the tops of a forest
and dropped on a hillside near Pesca-
deero.
The most powerful motor and steer
ing mechanism that can be devised
cannot resist the elements when at
tached to a balloon. 1t is not possible
to propel a great bag of air against
the upper currents or to control its
course when opposed by the slightest
breezes. The problem of navigating
the air must be solved without bal
looms. How? With wings-if ever.

JANE TAPPAN.

p~arently unmoYed as If she were spend
ing pleasure holidays at the quaint old
town by the sea instead of being a pris-
oner accused of a crime so deep and
black it has few parallels in history.
The only thing that breaks the monot-
ony is visits from her lawyer.
Cataumet, which was the scene OF
the crime of which Miss Tappan is ac-
cused, is one of the most picturesque
Buzzard's Bay.
Talking Of her the other day, one of
her neighbors said:
Under a charge of numbering Mrs.
Mary Gibbs by poisoning she was ar
rested at Amherst, N. H., and after
appearing in the police court at Nash
ua, N. H., where she protested her
innocence, she decided to return to
Massachusetts without requisition pa
pers.
Miss Tappan nursed four members
OF the Davis family at Cataumet,
Mass, last summer, and all four died.
Her arrest followed a report made by
Prof. Wood, an analytical chemist.
who examined the stomachs of two OF
the supposed victims, that he found
traces of poison. The persons nursed
by Miss Tappan whose illness proved
fatal were Mr.. and Mrs. Alden P. Da-
Wis, Of Cataumet, and their daughters,
Mrs. Henry Gordon of Chicago and
Mrs. Gibbs of Cataumet. The formal
charge against Miss Tappan is based
on the last named case.
