The Wall street tipsters only operate
through the medium OF newspaper adver-
Using, but they have become an eyesore to
conservative men engaged in legitimate
Wall street speculation. Some Of them not
only purvey tips for big considerations to
foolish clients, but run blind pools into
the bargain, and the gains of the best-es-
tablished among them are said to be enor-
nous. Their boldness in advertising is
dazzling, and new ones are coming to the
front ell the time.
The new chaps in the business take big
chances In order to win success. One Of
them. for example. will print a tremendous
advertisement in all of the newspapers that
accept such advertising, to the effect that

ALLEGED FORGERY.
Young Man Held on That Charge for
Grand Jury's Action.

Arthur P. Hubbard, twenty five years Of
age, who claims to be resident of Kansas
City, after having a preliminary hearing in
the Police Court this morning on a charge
of forgery, was held by Judge Kimball un-
der $1,000 bond to await action by the
grand jury.
Hubbard, who was arrested at the Riggs
National Bank by Detectives Trumbo and
Tyser Saturday afternoon, called on Mr.. A.
T. Brice, cashier Of the bank, and presented
what he purported to be a contract bearing
Mr. Brice's signature for sos 40 for the
banks advertisement in an alleged business
directory. Mr.. Brice, however, failed to
recognize the signature as his own, and.

TRANSPARENCY OF COMETS.
Measuring obscuring Effect on a Star
at Harvard
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Striking evidence Of the gauzy texture Of
comets tails is given in circular just is
sued by the Harvard College Observatory,
describing an attempt made to discover
how much a star would be obscured while
covered by such a VEIL It was foreseen
last autumn that on the night of October
1914 the nucleus Of the comet known as
'19OZb' would pass within one minute of n
certain star, whose brightness had pre-
viously been determined. The diameter OF
the coma, or hairy trail, was five or Six
minutes. That appendage was big enough
to overlap the star for twenty or thirty
minutes at least.
Astronomers in rating the brightness OF
stars rarely express their results IN frac-
tions smaller than tenths. However, since
a number of successive observations may
show trifing apparent differences, an av-
erage will often be given in hundredths.
Most people can see at a glance that frs.
magnitude star is brighter than one Of the
second magnitude, and with little practice
can pick out stars that rank about halfway
between. When 1t comes to differences OF
only tenth of a magnitude. though, only
the utmost skill. combined with special
training can perceive them.
The particular star that afforded the test
in question was rated at magnitude ZIP.
Beginning at about fifteen minutes before
the closest approach of the nucleus to the
star. a series of observations was made
with an instrument called a photometer,
whose function is to measure brightness.
1t should be added that that branch OF
work is one for which Harvard has been
famous. In a period of less than three
hours eight groups Of measurements were
made, sixteen observations composing a
group and affording a fair average. One
group, taken when the nucleus was two
minutes from the star. showed a diminu-
tion in brightness of .O1 Of magnitude.
The next group, representing the closest
approach al minutes), gave an apparent
diminution Of OF. Shortly afterward, when
the interval was only two minutes again.
the average indicated actual excess OF
.03 of magnitude over the normal bright,
ness, while with an interval of four min
utes the mean of sixteen settings was iden-
tical with the ordinary rating of the star.
These figures represent close approxima-
lions and not absolute fact, but they are
highly significant. They show that come
tary trail which was probably hundreds OF
thousands of miles. perhaps millions OF
miles, long, and which was looked at
lengthwise or diagonally. was not able to
obscure a star enough for the effect to be
visible to the keenest unframed vision. It
was barely perceptible with special optical
ir struments, and was small that a shade
Of doubt attaches to the measurements.
The average density of the material must
have been incomparably lower than that Of
terrestrial fog.

Glass and Porcelain Globes.
from the Brooklyn Eagle.


TIE people Of the Heights are justified In
their dissatisfaction with Mr.. Van Ider-
stine's removal of the porcelain globes from
their electric lights. and the substitution of
coverings Of clear glass. There ought not
to be a clear globe in all Brooklyn. nor in
any other city. over an arc light. The
binding electric glare is softened and diff
fused by ground glass or porcelain; shad-
ows lose their edges. 1t becomes possible to
see into them: with the intense and vacil-
Ia ting light in ones eyes. it Is IN easy mat
ter to slip from curbstones. or into coal
holes; and, again. the blaze that is thrown
through the windows of houses. often into
bedrooms where darkness is desirable, pro-
duces disquiet. nervousness and shortens
sleep. There is probably no one factor in
our city life that does more injury than
these unprotected lights. There Is no avoid
ing them. One walks down the street with
a score of dazzling points In his eyes, ana
as they dim down and flare up again, the
eye is fatigued by Its efforts n protection
and adjustment. and sight is harmed

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Temperature and Holiday Pur-
chases Stimulated Retail.

New York. Nov. 27.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade win say
Seasonable temperature and holiday
purchases stimulated retail trade, maxi
ing results more satisfactory during
the past week than at any recent date.
Improvement was most conspicuous in
heavy wearing apparel and kindred
lines that have remained dun because
of the mild weather. Another encour-
aging feature was the resumption of
work at many mills, although there is
much idle machinery, especially in the
textile and iron industries. Thousands
of operatives are idle because of the
shut down at a number of paper mills.
In view of the numerous wage re-
auctions, there is noteworthy harmony
between employers and workers, in
dicating that labor leaders appreciate
the necessity of sharing in the read
justment.
Grain shipments increased with the
approaching close of navigation on the
lakes and freight traffic was subjected
to the greatest pressure of the season.
But there is less than the customary
complaint of delay. Railroad earnings
for three weeks of November aVera ged
So per cent. larger than last year.
Textile manufacturing conditions are
without alteration. Colder weather
stimulated retail trade in woolens and
worsteds, but as yet there is no i'm
provement in piece goods.
Failures this week numbered 25S,
against 2l3 last year.
