It is difficult to venture any opinion
on the immediate future course of prices
with any degree of assurance. There is
no doubt whatever that manipulation of
the most skillful character is at work in
forcing down prices and the buying
power is not sufficient even at this
greatly reduced range of values to alb
sorb the offering and hold the market.
Present prices are about the lowest for
everything, but it is quite evident that
something will have to occur in the way

Electricity and Plant Life.

Interesting experiments have been
conducted by DR.. Lemstrom, of Hell
singfors university, on the effect Of
an electrical discharge Don the growth
of plants. -Four seeds of barley,
wheat and rye were sown in pots, the
soil being electrically connected with
the ground Above the two pots
were suspended an insulated network
of wire with a number of points of a
Holz machine so connected that in
some of the pots the electric current
passed from the metal work to the
earth, while in others it passed in the
reverse direction. For five hours
daily a current was passed through
the soil. After eight weeks the
height of the plants affected by the
electric current was found to be 40
per cent. greater than those to which
no current had been applied. It Is
said that experiments with other
plants show similar results, but diff
ferent in degree.

QUITE SIMPLE.
The Professors Secret of Success
fully Forecasting the Weather.

The Professors Secret of Success
fully Forecasting the Weather.
On certain continental town, says
London Tit-Bits, there were two
newspapers that maintained bitter
rivalry. To the staff of each profess
sor was attached, who contributed a
special forecast Of the weather, but
neither of these experts was known to
the other.
Now, one of these professors, who
for the time may be called Schmidt,
was greatly chagrined to find that,
whereas his prophecy was generally
wrong, that of his rival, Schenk, was
very often correct. He therefore de-
termined to discover the secret of his
success.
By dint of inquiry Schmidt ascer-
tanned the identity of Schenk, and.
further, learned that he was in the
habit of taking his dinner at GER
tain cafe. Carefully laying his plans:
Schmidt contrived to get his dinner
in company with Schenk, and to open
up most interesting conversation.
At last, when favorable opportunity
presented itself for introducing the
subject which was uppermost in his
mind, Schmidt turned to his com
panien.
'By the way" said he, 81 hear that
you are the celebrated weather proph-
ct of the - naming the paper. l
can't tell you how often have won
dered at the manner in which, with
wonderful accuracy, you manage to
forecast the weather"
"Well, that's simple enough, I can
assure you,' replied Schenk, with a
laugh; S<you see there's silly old
donkey who processes to make predic-
tions for the - (naming Schmidt's
paper), which is published a few
hours before my paper, and as his
forecase is almost invariably wrong,
all I have to do is to say just the OPP
posite."

FIVE DOLLARS IN N1cKELs.
Man with a Bill Gets Even with the
Mean Conductor.


Now, here is a story of good luck
and bad luck combined, and it just
goes to show that the sunshine Will
occasionally fall on a fellow when he
is really not expecting it," said a
young man who lives uptown to a
New Orleans Times-Democrat repor-
ter. did you ever get on a street
car with no smaller change in your
pocket than a five dollar bill? Of
course you have. Every man has had
this experience at some time or other.
1t happened to me the other day
while was on my way downtown.
When I handed the conductor the
fve-dollar bill with an apology and an
explanation that thought when l
boarded the car that / had smaller
change. Theman whorings up nickels
didn't fail to show his displeasure. I
tried to get the bill changed by ap-
preaching several passengers. But
there was nothing left for me to do
but to take the change the conductor
offered or leave the car. I took the
change. He counted me out 81 5 in
nickels-99 nickels, a whole handful
of nickels-and he seemed to get a
deal of pleasure out of my discomfort
as I sank back in the seat and began
fumbling with the nickels he had
given me. But all this is prosaic,
commonplace enough, for the same
thing has happened to nearly every
other man who rides on street cars to
any considerable extent. happened
to glance at the floor of the car, and
there in the aisle was a nickel. I
picked it up, and put it with the other
SO nickels which ] held in my hand
Here, conductor I said, as l beck
oned the man to come in from the
rear Of the car, here are 100 nickels-
give me that fve-dollar BILL He
counted the nickels. They were all
there, and l got my bill back. Funny
experience, wasn't it? 1t doesn't hap
pen every day, and in fact I guess I'm
the only man it ever happened to-"
and the man chuckled as he brushed
around the corner.
