New York, Feb. 2S.-The stock market
opened easier and qniet, but more active.
The market has been under considerable pres
sure, the same influence controlling the spec
ulation which contributed to the depression
Yesterday. These factors are the expectation
of an extremely unfavorable bank statement
and fear that the Aldrich finance bill will fail
of passage. The stock market, which began
to rally shortly after II o'clock, rose sharply
after the bank statement. The close was
strong, although shade under the best prices.

| wish that somewhere in life's way
A path w I'D run
SOmewh: ike this:
Backward tOyOuth and its domains;
To childhood songs and glad refrains,
And all its innocence and bliss.
A way, however dark and lone,
10 days gone by
That passes very near
Where childhood dwelt mid happy times
Unmarried by cares and fruitleSS crimes,
Unfraught with doubt and fear
But every path that now take
Leads far away
From yesterday;
And when [ seek for bubbles blown
Among the wrecks that time has sown
1t leads me still astray.
Could but find that path DER grown
Leading to days
By youth beguiled.
How quickly would then retrace
The steps that led me from the place
Which pleased me as child.
All, if that road were only there.
And might go
How quick I'd turn
And change with love what hate has done
Seek out LIES blessings one by one,
And all it's fOllieS burn.

oscillations around the longitudinal
axis of the hull, termed rolling"
second, oscillations around the cross
axis, called "pitching," and third,
the up-and-down motion of he whole
hull. The rolling and pitching move
ments of the hull are dispensed with
by mounting the cabin on cross
axis, with piyots at right angles to
each other, so that in whatever direc-
ton the boat tits the cabin remains
level by swinging on its pivots. To do
away with the up-and-d down movement
this inventor provides, in addition to
the above described mechanism, am
arrangement by which the weight Of
the cabin is constantly supported by
steam or air pressure. For this pur-
pose the cabin is fixed to cylinder in
which a piston is movable, the latter
being suspended from the ship frame
so as to allow a free swinging move
ment Of the whole ca bin. The plan is
then to connect all the cylinders with
a large reservoir, in which the pres
sure remains practically constant and
governs the movement Of the pistons
by the constant and rapid flow of the
air or steam from one part of the ship
to the other as the cabins on opposite.
sides of the boat alternately rise and

an extent as to render it unnotice able

Germ Killing with Ozone.

The first city in Germany, and per-
haps in the world. to use ozone for
the publication of its water supply
is Schierstein. Chemists and bac-
teriologists have long beer familiar
with the germieidal qualities of this
form of oxygen, and number OF
attempts have been made in Europe
and America to utilize the principle.
Schierstein, which is suburb of
Wiesbaden, appears to be pioneer,
though, in the adoption of the sys
tenn on large scale. An elaborato
factory to produce ozone electrically
from the atmosphere has been erect
ed at the wate1sworks, and has nov
been turned over to the municipal
ity. Similar apparatus has. been in
stalled at Paderborn. Ozone is used
to purify only drinking water, and
treatment with it is subs tituted for
sand filtration, the favo-ite expe-
dent in Germany for getting rid Of
obnoxious bacteria.

Elephant Acts Calamity.

Bessie Brennan is the name Of q
young girl who enjoys the unique dis
tinction of being the first person to
whom savage old Bolivar, the terror
of the elephant house in the Philadel-
phia ZOO, has ever shown gallantry.
Miss Brennan was admiring Bolivar's
huge body and feeding him with pea
nuts. She leaned too far over the rail
and her new winter hat dropped off.
Bolivar picked it up and lifted it high
in the air, while Miss Brennan and
her girl friends screamed at the
thought of the elephant swallowing
the stylish headgear. Bolivar, how
ever, lowered his trunk and Miss Bren-
nan resolutely reached for her hat.
'eGive it here!" she demanded, and Boil
ivar, to the astonishment of every-
body, "gave it, Nobody was more

tube. The bubble will remain support
ed by the wings, and if the distance be-
tween these is increased the bubble
will be drawn out into the shape of a
4 barrel With care this barrel can be
turned over on its side by holding the
wings vertical. It will preserve the
barrel shape until it is very long
three times as long as it is broad.
Now insert small tube, well soaped,
through the curved surface of the bar
rel, blow small bubble and dislodge
it by tapping the tube with your finger
nail. The bubble will drop lightly on
the bilge of the barrel without break
ing, and if the barrel is tipped by rails
ing one wing little higher than the
other, the bubble will roll along it,
Just as croquet ball would roll inside
of wooden barrel
This is not merely a curious trick,
but it proves fact that nobody would
be likely to guess-ramely, that the
bubble does not really touch the side
Of the barrel. There is thin layer
OF air between them, If they were
really in contact they would adhere
10 each other as the barrel bubble
does to the soaped rings, and there
would be no rolling.-Brooklyn Eagle.
