WHEN ANIMALS FAINT.

A little gray dog tumbled headlong
into the area of a house in West End
square, and the maid who happened to
be standing there closed the gate. When
the dog saw she was safe from her pur-
suers-two huge bull terriers--she top
pied over in dead faint. The other
rided the assertion, but a veterinary
surgeon who finally Joined the group
said there was nothing preposterous
about it, .-
"Of course she tainted" he said.
Lots of animals faint. Cats and dogs
and even more stolid animals keel over
in moments Of fear and exhaustion. In
the case of horses the prostration is
generally attributed to sunstroke, but
quite often they are knocked out by a
plain everyday faint instead of atmos-
pherie excuses. Fowls faint, too, and
the birds of the air. In fact, it is hard
to find any living creature that doesn't
topple over under crucial clrcunl-
stances. From the London Answer.

company whose capital represents ac-
stual earning power to-day, may to-.
morrow represent water because its
earning power has been lost. On the
other hand a company whose capital
represents little but water when organ
lied may eventually measure a true
earning power. In the long run the
stock market determines the actual
capitalization of a company, for the
price of the stock In the main re-
presents the earring power either pre-
sent or prospective. Thus, in the past
twy years, the water in a multitude of
stocks has been distilled out of them
by the heat Of the Wall Street specu-
latiye furnace.
There can be no doubt, of course,
that over-capitalization is an evil
working injury to both investors and
public, but this evil could be removed
If there was a proper system of pub
lieity. The harm Of water" in
capitalization consists in the main, in
the inability to distinguish the water
from value. Thus, when a company is
organized with the pretence that its
capitalization, with bonuses of stock to
promoters, underwriters, purchasers of
bonds, etc, represents earning power
conservatiyely estimated, when meas
ures are taken to deceive investors into
the belief that in purchasing the stock,
they are buying income, not water;
when expert manipulators are employ
ed to give the stock q fictitious stand
ing in the market; when 1t may be div
idends are paid out of the proceeds of
Gales of stocks, in order to increase the
popular deception when, in a word, the
attempt is made to sell nothing for
something, by system of false pre-
fences, then over-capitalization Is
swindle on the investor. There has
been good deal Of such stock water
ing, and it was one Of the scandals Of
our recent period of over-promotion.
But if there was perfect scheme of
publicity. IL companies were obliged by
law to advertise exactly of what their
capitalization consisted; how much, for
instance, represented cash, how much
real estate, how much plant, how much
payments to promoters and underwrit-
ers, how much earning capacity, with
the calculations on that point clearly
set FORTH the investor would have no
reason for complaint. The actual value
might be $1,000,00O, and the capitaliz-
alton sl0000,000, but the investor, be-
Ing in possession of all these facts,
would know that while the par value
was 100, the real value was 10, and if
he chose to pay more than that for the
stock he would do so with his eyes
open to the risk, in the hope that flu
tlre developments would increase the

But how about the consuming pub
lie? How does over-capitalization af-
feet it? This is a more difficult ques-
ton, but it is easy, to see how publicity
would remove the evil effects Of the
watered stock in the direction. This evil
consists in the attempt that may be
made to earn dividends on watered
stock by unduly, increasing prices or
reducing the quality of service or
goods. Theoretically, capitalization
makes no difference to earning power.
A company earning 100000. year will
earn 100000 a, year whether capitalize
ed at $1,0OO,OO0 or s1o,000.0OO and the
consumer will be unaffected by the
amount OF the capitalization. But If
the company enjoys a monopoly, or the
holder of a valuable patent, or If by
consultations, it has obtained the vir-
tual control of an, industry, it may in
Ifiict widespread injury by attempting
to earn dividends on watered stock.
There can be doubt that the public
suffers i'll this way Ly reason of the
public service corpor3tlons in this city.
But if there should be q system Of pub
|licitsI that would reveal the resources
|of a conlpany's income, the corporation
would not dare, for long, to overcharge
the public.
0ver-capitaIjzation under present
conditions, is an evil because Of the
opportunities it presents for fraudulent
promotion, for the sale of stocks at
fictitious valuations, for robbery Of in
|nocent investors. and burdensome
charges upon consumers, but in the
light of a comprehensive publicity in
which things would appear as they
really are, a company might make
its capitalization what it pleased, either
too little or too much, and small harm
Would be done. The income would then
aecm ately determine the actual value

that keeps excellent time. the dial being
about three-eighths Of an inch in diam-

The studs are connected by a strip Of
silver inside the shirt. The watch con-
tanned in the middle one is wound by
the turning Of the stud above, and the
hands are set by turning the stud be-
low. The most striking thing about the
minute machine is that it works with a

placed, even il it be upside down.

phases being rusticity and publicity.
At bottom japanicity consists in look

being a much larger sum in the Orient

and more relative until now kimono
may easily cost as much as fifty dollars.
