Dealings on the curb to-day were confined
TO very few issues and the net changes
varied only fraction from the last closing
The total number OF issues figuring In the
days transactions were the smallest in some
time Some irregulnrity was shown. but the
general tone OF the market was steady. The
bulk OF the transact ions were confined to he
copper shares which showed generally
steady tone Northern Securities was weak
rs the opening, declining Il per cent on very
light dealings but al the close there appeared
a better demand and the price rallied TO the
highest point of the day and ended u fraction
above the previous closing. PETERBOROUGH
Rapid Transit 40 per cent paid showed
further loss of / per cent on light dealings
to 100
Montreal and Boston Copper was the fes-
ture in to-day trading. the dealings In this
issue were extremely heavy, and the buying
was more scattering than at any time during
the recent activity in the copper shares
The strength and demand for this issue were
based on the report that Eneli h capitalists
are becoming heavily Interested in this COM
pany and also on the success of the new smell
ter which was blown in on the first OF the
month. which will give the COMPANY twice

How to Prove a Diamonds worth,

In detecting false gem from a gen.
uine, the X-ray can be relied on with
absolute certainty. Diamonds, as is
well known, are pure carbon; and
carbon, which is opaque to ordinary
light, is transparent to the Roentgen
light, while glass, which is transparent
to ordinary light, is opaque to the
Roentgen ray. On an X-ray photo
graph of a real diamond nothing will
show but the shadow of the gold set.
ting.
An interesting experiment was made
recently in watching with the aid of an
X-ray machine and a fuorescope. mo.
tions carried on inside an OPAQUE
body. A goose was fed with food
mixed with subnitrate of bismuth salt,
Which absorbs the X-ray. The passage
of the food down the long neck of the
goose could be plainly traced by the
moving shadow cast on the horoscope
screen.-Leslie's Monthly,
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-12-22

To France probably belongs the credit
Of using the camera for war purposes
in a most satisfactory manner at a
time when it was of the utmost impor-
tance. When Paris was besieged com.
munication with the outside world was
had only by means of balloons and
carrier pigeons. The dispatches sent
by the carrier pigeons were photo
graphed on small films, which could
be attached to the feathers of the
birds, and in this way single bird
could carry thousands of words. Like.
wise the aeronauts who hovered over
Paris used the camera for photograph.
ing the different positions Of the Prus-
slams. These photographs were the
first ever taken of an invading army
from a balloon. Profiting by this ex-
perience the French army and navy
have increased their carrier pigeon and
balloon service. Several hundred Off
GERS in the French army are expert
photographers and every engineering
corps carries with it complete photo
graphic outfits.-Chicago Post.

England's Oldest School.

Many n building, public and private,
claims TO be the Oldest institution in
England, but it seems that the true
claim is that of st. Peters School,
York. 1t was, as many contemporary
records prove, in existence and had
gained renown as famous public
school of the north for some years be-
fore 720. There have been some en-
thusiastic antiquarians who have been
inclined to believe that this school was
flourishing actually before ST. Angus
tine came to Canterbury and raised
that city to its great ecclesiastical posi-
tion of later years. And ever since
that date until the present year OF
grace 1902 the minister school has con.
tinued its even course. For the mag.
nificent period OF 1882 years at least
this school has existed and fiourished.
Its buildings have decayed, fallen and
been restored: the school has several
times been rebuilt owing to this or
that cause, but the institution" is
still there. and st. Peters School to-
day has the unique boast of being, in
deed. the oldest institution in England.

When a ray Of sunlight falls on a
raindrop it is refracted; then part of
the light is reflected from the internal
surface and again refracted on leav-
ing the drop. The white sunlight is
not only refracted when it enters and
leaves the drop, but dispersion also
takes place. The eye sees bright cir
cles of light for each kind of light, and
since sunlight is made up of different
kinds of homogeneous light We get a
series of circular arcs, showing the
spectrum colors, the red being outside
and the other colors following in the
order of descending wave length. The
whole constitutes primary rainbows>
A secondary bow is sometimes seen
outside the first. This is formed by
the light being twice reflected inside
the raindrops. The less refrangible
rays are on the inner side. Rainbows
due to still more internal reflections
are too feeble to be observed. 1t is
possible to get white rainbow if the
sun is clouded or if there is mixture
Of raindrops Of very different sizes.

Yet it is extraordinary how rapidly
the child of English or European par
ents, born and bred in America, as
sumes these special features. By some
1t has been believed that the so-called
American face is merely reversion to
the countenance Of the aborigines, and
considering how strong the general
likeness is, this theory deserves careful
consideration. On the other hand, how
is it that the Canadians, whose habits
of life differ from their neighbors,
should preserve more English type OF
visage, so that after three or four gen
erations they are very readily mistaken
for Englishmen? Here there i5 cer-
tainly no reversion to the aboriginal
type.
In Japan it has been observed with
increasing establishment as almost

adoption by the Emperor Mutsuhito,

the physiognomy of the Japanese has
been growing apace. One of the not
least wonderful results the traveller
will learn from the BARRIERS Of Toxic
and Yokohama is the increase in the
growth Of the beard, and of the lesser
stiffness Of the hair, owing to the habit
of wearing hats and of brushing and
oiling the hair.
The increase of stature among the
Japanese is very perceptible, and the
substitution Of tepid and even cold
water for the hot baths among many
of the people is responsible for an in.
creasing foridity of the complexion.

Land without Newspapers.

The overworked and sufferers from
nervous prostration will find real
haven of rest in Korea. There Is no
such thing as novel or a newspaper
IN the land. No regular story writer
is known to have lived there for 1000
years. Education consists in a knowl-
edge of the immortal Chinese classics.
SO sacred are printed books TO the
Koreans that they cannot be tossed
about or trodden upon without offend
ing the gods.
