Making Fruit Trees Eat.

In the Crimea scientists have been
making queer experiments with fruit
trees. Instead of trying to increase
their growth and yield by heaping fer
tilizers around the roots, they have been
cutting tiny holes into their trunks and
inserting salts of iron in both solid and
LIQUID form. An account of these curl
Gus experiments has been read before
the Imperial society recently, and 1t
was declared by the men who have been
thus feeding the trees that the method
had proved itself to be highly success
full. Photographs were shown of 900
trees that had been thus treated, and
the pictures appeared to prove the truth
of the allegations, for all the trees were
beautiful with foliage and flourishing
excellently.

The French have found a reason for
the popularity Of the cakewalk in Paris.
The thing is French! One Of the ne
groes at the Nouveau Cirque, inter-
viewed by Paris paper. says that the
origin of the dance was French. Ac-
cording to this latest account, some of
the French refugees from the court of
Marie Antoinette introduced the minuet
into New Orleans about the time of
the revolution, and 1t was the native imi-
tation of the most fashionable dance in
Europe. that was afterwards developed
into the cakewalk.

MONEY MORE ABUNDANT.
Germany's Pig Iron Production in 1902
 Was s,4o2,66o Tons.

Berlin, January 25.-Business on the Boerse last week was quieter than dur ing the previous period Operators re- garded the San Carlos incident as likely to retard the settlement of the Venezue- Ian difficulty and therefore unwise and unnecessary. The influence exercised on the stock market by the bombardment was accordingly in the direction of great CT reserve in speculation. American se- curities experienced an uneventful week. Bank stock advanced. The industrial market showed q selling tendency. Iron shares were lower Coal shares dropped in consequence of the break in the cold weather and the statement that the coal syndicate Is trying to induce the compa- nies to voluntarily restrict the output.
 The gain in Hamburg-American steam ship shares, reached previously was par tially lost, and the North German Lloyds securities lost three points upon the passing of the dividend.
 Money has grown cheaper and more abundant.
 Germanys pig iron production in 1902 amounted to S,4O2, 660 tons against 7,7S5,SS7 tons in 1901

GENERAL TONE FIRM.
Last Week Stock Market Marked by Absence of Speculative Activity.

London, January 25.-While the general tone of the stock market throughout last week was firm, 1t was marked by an ab- sence of speculative activity. Kaffirs did not respond to Colonial Secretary Cham berlains announcement at Johannesburg, January 17, of the details for the finan- cing of the new South African colonies. This announcement had already been dis counted and the delay in the settlement of the labor problem in South Africa is creating uncertainty.
 American securities were without any striking features and the movements ir- regular, probably owing to the deyel- opments in the Venezuelan affair, which is considered to show possibility of fresh entanglements.
 The sole feature of the week was the movement in West Australian mines, which falling on period of depression, became active. because of the comple- tion of arrangements for large consolida- tions. Home railways were affected by the disappointment felt at the dividend announcements which did not fully reach expectations, though the amounts car ried forward exceeded those of last year.

This meant practically up to twenty
years for the grant. But under our
bill the right to operate after fore
closure is limited 10 three years and
everybody knows that the owners of
the certificates who close, by reason
of theirownership of the tangible prop
erty, will have the best chance of
getting new twenty-year franchise
by action of the city council and ap-
proved by the people under the rcferen-
dun.
''All of this is unnecessary, if we
consider the statement of everybody
who talked for Chicago, because they
all said municipal ownership is at least
twenty years away. and this fore
closure plan means nothing unless the
city undertakes to operate the lines.
In the meantime five or ten more

K OF P. ENDOWMENT RANK
WILL REMAIN IN STATE

The endowment rank of the knights
of Pythias has given up its intention
of moving the headquarters away
from Chicago. for the present. at
least. The intention was based large
~ on the decision of the supreme
court holding the assets of fraternals
liable for local taxation. 1t is now
thought that if Illinois collects taxes
from the fraternals all the other
states viii probably follow the exam
pie, and the endowment rank is i'm
better position than most of the 9th
er fraternals, as by order of the SUI
preme lodge at the time of the Hinsey
troubles, it has been investing its as
sets in government bonds, which are
not taxable.
All it can be taxed on is the cash
balance, and by the payment of all
the death claims possible this was
reduced to $14.19s on April l. During
the last quarter $379.51O was paid out
in death claims and $246,O2O invested
in government bonds.
The membership increased 1929
during the quarter, and is now 61,-
4s1.
