German buying Of American railway

shares Of the good companies been
bought outright, but there has likewise
been very large purchasing Of options,

not bought American shares. They
never, indeed. do so. But they have
bought American bonds very freely, not
only here. but IL London. There has
been some buying likewise BY Holland.
But Just now the financial condition Of
Holland Is far from satisfactory. owing
partly to the failure Of the crops IN the
Dutch East Indies partly to the very
bad harvest at home, owing TO the
heavy ana continuous rains. and partly
to losses occasioned by previous unwise
speculation IN American securities.
Consequently. Amsterdam has not been
able to do very much Just now in the
buying line, whereas Germany has
bought on q very large scale.

TIDE PERFORMS HUGE TASK.
Railroad Bridge at Newark, n. j. Il
FlOated Into Position by RIs-
tHE Water.

Thousands of people Of Newark, N. j.,
recently saw the tide harnessed and
made to perform a big piece Of work
under the direction OF the human
mind.
The task successfully accomplished
was the shifting of the draw Of a rail-
road bridge over the Passaic river from
one pier to another. The draw weighs
1000 tons, is 22O feet long, and q dou-
~ble-decker, and it was moved IS feet
and lowered 11H feet.
Two big scow dashed together we're
used on either end Of the draw. On
each had been built q heavy box. filed
with fine sand. The boxes had been
built to such 3 height that at low tide
the scOws could just pass under the
floor girders Of the draw.
The scOws were hoated under the
draw at low tide at four o'clock In
the morning. At eight o'clock the
tide had raised scOws and the draw
till the latter was free Of the pier.
Eighteen minutes later the tide had
borne As burden to the new home Of
the draw. The sand was let out Of the
boxes and the weight Of the draw
forced the seows down into the wa
ter until the draw rested on the new
foundations.
The whole operation was accom-
plished without the least mishap.

throughout the United States as the
place where many famous athletes have
been trained into condition for cham

prominent members Of New Yorks

The only condition which the former
owner has attached to the transfer Of
the buildings and grounds to Bishop
Cotton is that it should always remain
the property Of the church, and that the
mansion should be used exclusively as
q convent, while the other buildings
should be utilized for educational and
charitable purposes. Bishop Cotton will
set about at once to convert the build
ings into the uses for which they were
given by the generous donor.

was rehabilitated. Hundreds Of infuen-
