From the London Chronicle.
In extending itself to the Strand the
Savoy Hotel is tearing up many records
Of London's history, and the steep incline
which was once Beaufort buildings il to
give place to level roadway to be called
Savoy court. But the managing Director
who had laid Lord Rosebery's plea for re-
membrance to heart-writes to tell US that
the Savoy Hotel has arranged with the
county council to FIX commemorative tab
let's on the buildings. which are to be the
tombstones of the past. These tablets will
state the date and occasion of the change
of the roadway's name; they will show
the site of Worcester House, and remind
the wayfarer that 1t once belonged to Ed
ward II, and that In Worcester House Ann
Hyde and the Duke of York afterwards
James I'D were secretly married. Henry
Fieldings house stood also where visitors
will pass from the Strand to the Savoy. and
Fielding will have his tablet.

Life in Liquid Air.
From Success.

oUttcSs
In recent experiments on bacteria, DIR.
Allan Macfadyen, director of the Jenner
Institute, in London, has found that some
of these microscopic plants will resume
activity after immersion in liquid air for
six months. Evidently. life under condi-
tions of this sort Is potential rather than
actual, and exists only in virtue of the pos
sibility of its revival. Matter that lives
thus while frozen must be, Dr. Macfadyen
thinks ''in q new and hitherto unclaimed
third condition. between life ard death,
and furnishes us with an absolutely per-
feet case of suspended animation" 1t Is
evidently no longer possible to maintain
that the low temperature OF space would
have prevented the arrival of living germs
with cosmic dust, which was suggested by
Helrnholtz. the greet herman physicist, and
others, as a possible way in which life may
have been introduced on the earth.

said the superintendent. I'VE consider this
very important. A good way to get them
to leave the tepee, it's dirt and disorder, Is
to show them how much more cleanly and
orderly they can make a house. Then.
when they do work with their own hands
here we can expect more of them when they
go home to their wigwams."
''To their wigwams?" said I.
yes, we can civllize the children, but
we can't the parents. And most of the
girls and boys, when they leave this school,
must again live in the tepee, because their
fathers will not stay in houses. Now I
just want to show you what nice cup Of

Annie said my hostess. you'll brew

WALL STREET. REVIEW
sULLY FAILURE HEAVY
 WEIGHT ON MARKET.
Buying Movement Smaller, and This Further Shows the Markets Vul- nerable Points--Vigorous Sup
 porting Orders at Break.

New York, March 1S.-There was q rather pronounced tapering on of the buying movement in stocks today and the market proved unable to withstand the weight of the realizing sales aggra- Yated by the Sully failure. The reduc- ton of the short interest accomplished by yesterdays active buying lett the market more vulnerable. But yesterdays advance had induced some hopes of 8 further rise and brought into the mar ket this morning a slightly increased de- mana. Some of the large wire commiS- sion houses sent out letters last night which were framed in a more bullish tone than any similar output for many weeks past. The result was a period of strength during the early part of the day. Another sustaining factor has beer traders have fought the advance by snort sales ot stocks. The days early ad- vance had been something more than lost and the market had steadied where Cotton Exchange decided the downward tendency. There was a liberal spilling cut of stocks and sharp break in prices to a point below last night for @ vigorous supporting orders were forth coming at the decline and the market rallied. There was nothing to show any large pressure of liquidation of stocks as a direct result of the cotton failure. MT. Sully's recent admission to the Stock Exchange membership and sup position that he was affiliated with a par ty in the stock markets speculation of considerable influence and importance were the grounds for the sentimental .in- tiuence exerted on the stock market by the failure. The speculative attitude of Wall Street as a whole towards the bull movement in cotton has been rather ad- verse and Wall Street speculators are supposed to have lost large sums by perslstng on the short side of the cot ton market. 1t has been the current sup position that the cotton leader. was iE- terested on the short side of the stock market. The weeks movement in that market combined with the collapse in cotton in that case would have caused a proces of whipsawing flow of losses both ways which would be trying to the heaviest resources. The assertions that the operator was short in the stock mar. ket met with some denial but the ner- Vous tone in stocks caused by the fail ure continued to the close which was feverish and irregular and not far fro'1 the lowest. Renewed selling for foreign account while the foreign exchanges were in session was factor in the reaction ary tone. The forecast of a favorable bank statement came after the Sully failure was announced, and was with out influence.
 There was moderate activity in the bond market and the tone was irregular Total sales par value. $c,170.000. U. S.. bonds unchanged on call.

NEW YORK, March IS.-Other events and generally influencing factors in the cotton mhf- ket have been cast aside for the day, giving place to, the sensational effect of the announce ment of the failure of D. J. sully & Co. Tho market, which was quiet just before this failure, became panicky at once and quickly sold off l5o points. The failure. of course. comes as a great surprise and fits general cf- feet on the public will be far-reaching, as the firm did. a large general commission busi- ness. But this decline does not affect the sta that in the effort to bring out Sully's long in- terest an immense short interest has been ere will cause great advance. On this break spinners both local and foreign will be free in the country will be quickly Absorbed The statistical position Is more inviting than ever and we should favor the long sde of the mar ket.
