ban of the displeasure of thousands of men who will next year support the democratic ticket on that very issue. Therefore, they discard him as a pos sibility in the next race. MT Bryan says: "Why not Francis Marion Cockrell of Missouri for president? His Christian character, his long ex- perience, his great ability and his un- questioned integrity make him worthy to be considered among those eligible to a democratic nomination. AS one who has been in harmony with his party on every question he would be acceptable to the Kansas City plat form democrats, and yet what reorgan- izer could find personal objection to him? His long service would disarm criticism and his popularity would spread as he became better known. He is 69 years of age, but young enough for service yet. His service in the confederate army would not weaken him, first, because the war is over, and. second, because his record has been such as to commend him to those who wore the blue as we'll as those who wNI@ the gray"

GRAND MARSHAL DONE FOR.
Figure That May Re Disp1Gced sy Moter Vehicles in This
 HorseIess Age.

'sWhen power-driven vehicles shall have superseded horse-drawn vehicles entirely, as no doubt, in the not far dis tant future, they will have done" said MT. Gozzleton, according to the New York Sun, what will become of the grand marshal? Will anything be de- vised that will enable him to shine with anything like his present glory?
 Now, with broad, bright-colored sash worn diagona4ly across his manly bosom, and with dahlia-like rosette pinned upon his breast, he rides grandly at the head of the procession mounted on horse. What would procession be without a grand marshal, and what would marshal be without horse And what will he do when there are no horses?
 His prospect now is dim, indeed; but let us hope that, when the horseless age shall actually have come, some means will be found to preserve the glamour and the glory of the grand marshal"

NATURE SCULPTURE.
Ragged Outline of California Bovvlder
 Bears Striking Likeness to George Washington.

One of the most remarkable pieces of nature sculpture in California is the George Washington rock. about 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles, in the Santa Susana mountains, says the, Sun set Magazine. Near this rock two- mile tunnel is being bored through the Santa Susana mountains just outside Chatsworth Park. A chiseled monu- ment could hardly bear truer likeness to George Washington than this chance picture in the ragged contour of huge powder. Viewed from one point and only one, it stands out sharp and dis tinct against the sky. From all other points the rock is a shapeless mass. The image measures full 25 feet from chin to brow and is close to the top of the hill Tn the vicinity have been found Indian relics; ovens, stones con- taining Indian writings, arrow heads, nortars and many traces of settle ment of aborigines.

PETROLEUM IN BURMAH.
In Use There Long Before the First We'll Was Driven iU
 Pennsylvania. -.s

The use of petroleum seems new, but it had been used in Asia for long time before the first we'll was driven in Pennsylvania. The following descrip- tion, published in 1929, is from the ac- count of Crawford's embassy to Ava.
 Petroleum wells supply the whole Burmah empire with oil for lamps, and also for smearing timber, to protect 1t against insects, and particularly the white ants. It's consumption for burn ing is stated to be universal, until it's price reaches that of sesamum oil, the only other kind used for lamps
 The wells, which occupy space of about 16 square miles, vary in depth from 200 to 250 feet; the shaft is square, not more than four feet each side, and is formed by sinking frame of wood.
 The oil, on coming up, is about the temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It is thrown into large cistern, in the bottom of which are small apertures for the aqueous part to drain off, when the oil is left for some time to thicken. It is then put into large earthen jars, placed in rude carts drawn by oxen, and carried to the banks of the river, from whence it is sent by water-car- riage to every part of the empire.
 By the number and burden of the boats employed in this trade, and the number of voyages they are supposed to make in the course of a year, the ex- portation from the wells is estimated to amount to 17,56S,0o0 wis, of 267a pounds each.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-08-17

A decided change for the better has taken place in the stock market, and the sharp rise which started last week quickly disDelled the wave of despondency that threatened the whole business community only few days ago, says Banker Henry Clews. So sudden a change was of course large ly due to manipulation, based upon the change of position by some of the big operators who exerted such a se- were and persistent pressure upon the market for weeks past, being assisted by an organized effort to check and punish the over-aggressive bears. It is of course impossible to learn wheth- CT the market leaders have fully ac- complished their purpose or not. The presumption is that they have, or the market would not have been allowed to recover in the rampant fashion that it has done. It is quite certain that the decline of the last few months has been materially intensified by specula- tive operations to accomplish certain purposes, however much natural con- ditions may have justified lower prices and it is equally likely that the mar. ket will now continue its recovery un- til a normal level is reached. No one pretands that there has been any change in intrinsic conditions during the last six months to correspond with drop of 30 to 30 points in good SC curities. Granting that the top of the boom was touched last year, that the tide of prosperity has begun to re- cede, that there isastill large amount of unmarketable securities, and that we have been overriding generally there was no warrant for decline in stocks so utterly out of proportion to other changes. A part of the decline was certainly intensified for specula- tive purposes, and if it proves true that these have been attained @ stronger and active market is in pros pect-
