At Any Rate, Such Conditions Have
Been Known for Years.

Boston. Dec. 1.-THE Boston stock
market was demoralized practically ali
day and closed In an unsettled condi.
ton. Weakness in the copper shares
was pronounced in sympathy with
heavy slump in Amalgamated and
Green Consolidated.
Opinions differ as to the contributing
causes of the decline but most brokers'
here assign it to lack of general de-
mand for stocks since the Examinations
of steady upward movement, last
week. to the approach of the end Of the
year and to sensational attacks upon
Amalgamated Copper, made In dis
play advertisements by well-known
Boston operator.
Whenever the market rallied, the
disinclination Of the public to absorb
stock encouraged the engineers of the
raid. with the result that the downward
course was practically unchecked
Amalgamated opened. today, around
9 and steadily fell. except for an occa-
sional feeble rally to 61h, at which
point it closed. Greene Consolidated
Copper. which closed. Saturday, at "a.

off from 10 to IL; United States Mining

smaller losses.
The market was weak at the close

WAR VESSELS WITH BAD NAMES.
Experience Appears to Indicate That
They Will Have Bad Luck.

If one should be so bold as to character
lie the SuperstitiOus sailor as silly he
would at once declare that there is suffi-
Gent reason for his belief. and would pro-
coed to prove that war vessels named
after singing and venomous things have
been unluCky and that the country should
not be so Indifferent to the men who fol-
low "a life on the ocean wave" as to Or
gariZe q mosquito fleet.
That Snake is regarded as an unfortu-
nate name for a vessel Is shown by the
fact that two of that name. have been
lost one in 1871 and the other in 1917. but
no vessel bearing that name is known to
exist now. Serpent. which is on. d SUBJ
stitute name for Srahe; is an unlucky one
fourth British war vessel of that name to
meet the same fate. Viper has been an
lInucky name in the British Navy. The
first one was wrecked in 1880 but the Ad
miralty would not swerve. and 50 kept the
name on the list. each vessel meeting its
doom, and the fourth was lost only re
Gently. The French Navy has also been
unlucky with vessels so named. The
Viper used in the British service after she
became prize from the French was lost
In 1923. The second was lost year later,
the third in 1871. and the fourth was re-

Testing Gables by Roentgen Rays.

A novel application of the Roentga n
rays to the testing of submarine cables
has recently been made in Europe. and
has been found useful in determining
defects and imperfections which might
cause a breakdown Of the cable and
involve considerable expense for re-
pairs. The apparatus consists of a
Roentgen-ray tube, above which is a
fluorescent screen. while the cable to
be tested is passed through guides
just below, so that a shadow is cast
on the screen. The cable is allowed
to run through the testing apparatus,
and the observer looks for any indica-
tiCl of Il fault in the shadow. Foreign
substances, air bubbles, or bad joints
in the rubber or gutta-percha insu-
lation are readily detected, and may
be remedied at the works. Imper-
fections of this kind can remain UNI
noticed by other tests. and cable
with such imperfeCtions may be laid
on the sea bottom at great expense
and operated for a number OF years
before it will fail.-Harper's Weekly.
