be used. The bottom of the compass
bowl is in the forn Of 81 strong, thick
lens. through which tae light is re-
fracted on the card.
The intensity of the light may be
varied at the pleasure Of the observer.
and this is found 20 be exceedingly
useful in taking The bearing Of stars
or other faint lighrs. 4 new anti-Vi-
rational suspension has been designed
which insures great steadiness in The
card; and 4 new form OF helmet with
rifle sights. Facilitates the work OF tax
ing bearings.
With the new helmet uayigdtors are
able TO take bearings of fights and
stars by night with the same ease and
convenience as bearings Of the sun are
noW taken by day.
The new form of sounding machine
has been constructed Of q height which
has been found from practical expert
ence 10 be the slost suitable for the
work Of winding the line Ia addition
10 this great advantage. the new ma

haunted by grim shapes of fear and
terror. He passes his days in an agony
OF doubt lest death should suddenly
pguBce down and put an end to his
long immunity. Jose skips about, con-
findent in the belief that death has lost
its power over him. and that he is des-

youth. Jose sits on the steps Of his
humble dwelling passing his days in
serene satisfaction. He rambles under
trees, scarcely using the long staff
which ne carries more from custom
than from necessity. Antonio lies on

Further weakness in wheat Contrib
 utes to Strong Tone.

New York, Aug. 23.-Further weak ness in wheat contributed largely to the Istrong tone of the stock market at to- Iday's opening, though the strength of certain issues seemed to come largely | from buying by some of the profession als whose interests lie on the bull side.
 Prices reeeded before noon and the IRolune of business, which at the out lset promised to be very considerable, ldwindled to moderate proportions. A lcanvass of the better known houses failed to disclose any increase in com mission business. London, whose mar kets were weak as a result of fresh de- lvelopments, affecting British interests ! in the far east, sold a lot of stocks, chiefly standard railway shares, and bought very little. A sharp advance in cotton, based largely on the rise in Liv- Ierpool, was doubtless partly responsi-
 ble for the reactionary tone in stocks, as the day wore on. The market drift | ed aimlessly and lower prices were re- corded with further reduction of op- erations. Of the more active issues,
 Union Pacific and Southern Pacific held
 most firm. St. Paul was offered down | by brokers identified with western in- terests, while Atchison was sold on ru-
 mors of frost in the corn belt. The ex- treme apathy of the market in the final
 hour extended to the bond division, in which dealings became very light. The
 closing reflected uncertainty. Net de- clines in the active list were in no in-
 stance very severe, the greatest losses
 being sustained by New York Central
 and Sugar, each declining 1-S. South
 ern Pacific closed with a fractional >ad-
 vance. The strength of Southern Pacf-
 fic, which was conspicuous feature of
 the day, was attributed largely to the
 Improved situation growing out of the
 new ownership of the Seaboard system.

Nick Hubinger's s Metallas to be Driven
 by Billy Andrews. @
 Entries closed yesterday with Secre- tary F. M, Stalker for the events in the thirtfeth annual grand circuit meeting at Charter Oak park to begin Monday, September 5, with the exception of the early closing events, the Capitol City $2,500 for 2:20 trotters, the Connecticut $2,500 for 2:20 pacers, and the trotting and pacing divisions of the Hartford Futurity, $11,000 foals of 1901. The nominations in Charter Oak $tO,000 stake, too, will have to file to-day their selection. While the entries close to- day, they will not be announced for several days to allow of the list going out correct and without additions.
 Mettallas, owned by Nick Hubinger of this city is to be driven by Billy An drews if she is nominated for the Char ter Oak which is an even chance. Margaret Bathgate is a horse which hasn't been raced in ten months, but as she goes in 2:10 class at Readville, she may be named here Snyder McGregor is a fussy kind of beast but his owner has been looking for a. nomination to buy and may have been successful. The Roman last year driven at Charter Oak by Budd Doble, Tiver- ton, the New York speedway flyer, who took 8 2:09 record at Buffalo, and John shepard's Promise, are other eligibles who may face Starter Frank Walker for the word.
 The 2;O5 pace is likely to bring out some good ones and if the entries show Pan Michael. Anidrosis, John M. and Cascade, it will be a field of about as evenly matched pacers as have come to the wire. Pan Michael made Gallagher go in 2:03 1-2 and he has a record of 2:05. Anidrosis has a record of 2:05. 1-4, made in a winning race at Buffalo and Casside went in 2:07 at Buffalo eased up.
 It will be interesting therefore, to note the entries and it is now believed that the number will be large.
