TAKING BAIT FOR CoNGER FISH
 INC

Cuttles require delft handling. The bait. which consists of rough chunk Of fish fastened to hook or even tied to a string, is not dropped over the side 10 be swallowed, but to excite the gusta- tory organs of the cuttles, and to be slowly pulled up until those mollusks have reached the surface in vain at- tempt to embrace it with their long arms. Then, in moment gaH IS plunged into the leathery mantle Of the would-be diner, and the creature is un- ceremoniously flung into the boat. The prosaic nature of the fishing is some times punctuated by grotesque lncl- dents. For instance, the cutie whlcn brought our catch up to bakers dozeh helped to support the idea that thirteen is an unlucky number by making hls entrance into the boat a preteXt for emptying his bag of sepia into the face of his captor, the liquid transforming that gentleman's glib speech into a mere incoherent spluttering, and then running down his white jumper in what the daylight showed to be a black torrent That was a brave clumsy job" remarked a comrade. referring not to the aim of the cutie, but to the in- cautious handling of the fishelman.- John Isabell. in Longman's.

thousand persons carried up and down daily in that building alone. On fair average approximately the same num- Der is carried daily by the elevators or the Empire building and the American Surety building.
 In the Park Row building of thirty two stories, ten passenger elevators pefrorm the work, and each is said 10 carry two thousand persons a day. When it is taken into account that tnls building has sixty-seven hundred regu- lar occupants, and daily visitors amounting to perhaps fifteen thousand this estimate will not appear too large. Since the opening of the Park Row building, four years ago, there has nev- CT been an elevator accident among the tenants of its eighteen hundred offices or among the countless thousands who have come and gone.-New York Press

of the fine points Of eastern vernacu- lars. The truth is that the term of white elephant does not exactly trans late the S!amese or Burmese word which indicates the color of the animal. In Burmese. for instance, they say sin pyu. sin meaning elephant. But pyu, although meaning white. has also other acceptations-such as gray, light. less dark. It is used to characterize the lighter complexion os native woman less dusky than her eountrywOmen without being even remotely to be con- founded with 8 Caucasian. Besides, the Burmese often use the expression sin nee, meaning red elephant. In Sla- mese the animal is called chang pueuk. chang being equivalent to elephant. Pueuk, which formerly meant white or light, is now only used in the sense or albino. Thus We see that the native expressions are erroneously translated by white elephant; the correct term would be light elephant.
 According to the Buddhist legend, be- fore assuming the human form of Gau- tama, the founder of Buddhism, Bud dha, lived in the form of a white eie- phant; so, in all probability, the pres 1 tige of the white elephant dated much | further back than Buddhism, else he would not have been chosen as the pre- cursor of Gautama. Indeed, the ele- phant had his place in the Indian pam theon since :he most remote perlods' Indra was always represented as mounted on an elephant, who shared ln his divinity; and in the ancient wor- ship of the sun the white elephant ana the white horse were considered em- blems of the sun himself.
 The true country of the white ele- phant is Indo-China. There his pres tige has been longest maintained There the proudest orders of knight hood bear his image on their regalia; there he still majestically represents the national antiquity and glory on the royal banner. The travellers who visited Siam and the neighborlng re- gions in the sixteenth century bear wit ness to this veneraiion in many pas sages. When the Trojans were fighting because of woman many Oriental: waged war to gain white elephant and even about 1850 there was con
 tinual strife between the Siamese ant the king of Pegu because of sever white elephants the latter coveted

THE WHITE ELEPHANT.

The white elephant, as is not perhaps universally known, is not white at all-- only of lighter hue than his fellows his hide being light or reddish gray. A perfect specimen should have pink eyes with yellow iris, hide of a light brownish red, and the interior of his ears and trunk. as well as his nails, should be white, and his hair red. But Europeans are unjust in attributing the epithet "white" to Oriental exag- geration, as the error is that of trans lators having an imperfect knowledge

ANOTHER Big ADVANCE
Prices Soar to New High Figures In The
New York Cotton Market.

New York. Nov. 3o--There was great ac-
tivity and excitement In the cotton mar
ket this morning and prices on the ac-
tive months reached new high records for
the season.
The market had opened easy at a decline
of / to 10 points under heavy liquidation
and bear pressure following the sharp
break In Liverpool. but almost imme-
diately rallied by active covering and good
supporting orders from the bull leaders
From 1E17, the lowest point on the call,
December sold up to 11:2s. January was
advanced from ll.H to 1.35. March from
1l.50 TO 11.45 and May from 11.S3 to 11,43.
these being net gains OF 3G5 points. The
advance was encouraged by the relative
prominence OF New Orleans and buish
advices from Southern stock markets to-
gether with further small crop talk and
rumors OF a profitable squeeze in the
nearby options.

CANAL BOATS
CLEARED
100000
Beatmen on tho Eric Waterway
Have Had an Unusually Suc-
CssSfuI Year.

Clyde. N. Y, Nov. 3o.-Navigatton on
the Erie canal closed officially at mid
night Saturday. Supt. W. III, Nicholoy.
OF Section s. says that this seasons
business has been the largest since 1898.
Freight has been plenty and rates have
been high, consequently the Golfers of
the canalmen are well filed.
For carrying lumber s2.25 has been paid
between New York and Buffalo as
against s1.75 In preceding seasons. Grain
has commanded four cents, which Is
unusually high.
One condition OF the traffic this year
which has operated much to the advan-
tage OF the boatmen has been the un-
usual amount Of west-bound freight.
Ordinarily the boatman gets a load at
Buffalo carries 1t through to New York,
and then considers himself lucky to get
a partial cargo for the western trip. This
season many times the expenses OF the
entire round trip has been paid by the
receipts OF the return trip.
A great majority OF the boats make
the through trip from Buffalo TO New
York. The load OF grain. for instance. Is
received from the elevators at Buffalo,
where II has been left by the lake yes
sells, and is drawn by horse or mule
power through to the Hudson river.
where a tug is engaged To tow the feet
down the river. The average time for a
trip from Buffalo TO New York is 10 or
IL days.
During the last season about 800 boats
have been In commission, n large gain
over recent wears The average net
profit has been about $1,000 on each boat,
or an average amount OF about $500 900.
There are about 20 boats yet en- route
for New York and double that number
headed for Buffalo. The eastbound boats
p~'ill probably reach the metropolis, but
many OF those going westward have been
stopped by the Ice and are winter bound.
