in making their narrative brief. Hay Fever
is an ideal summer book, a trifle light as air,
which can be read through at a sitting. We
shall be surprised if it does not win a wide
popularity in this country well as in England
and we shall be further surprised, by the way,
if Conan Doyle is not among the first to recog-
nize its merit
Mr. Heury's burlesque, "Cabbages and Kings"
is based on the life which many novelfsts
ask US 10 assume as going forward in queer
little South American republics. In this case
the scene is laid IN Coralio. coast town OF the
sort in which, apparently. anything may happen
Everything happens in Mr.. Henry's book. In
the first chapters we have an absconding presi-
dent doing the best he can to steal large sum
Of money. Then we hear of how a monograph
saved an honest man from turning rascal, and
Il little later a crack-braIned young sailor man
is exhibited in the role of an heroic admiral. Mar
riages occur in the book, and we observe the
success of a young American in selling several
thousand pairs of shoes in a town where shoes
are almost as much at a discount they are
in a bath tub. But it is unnecessary to add to
the list of Mr.. Eenry's inventions. 1t is sufii-
Client to say that he lets himself go" through
the eighteen chapters of this book, mixing real
ity with farce, and presenting a picture Of South
American civilization which is doubtless mac
curate, but is at the same time funny that
we can only regard ''Cabbages and Kings" as
a boon. The author Of it is born humorist
and a def craftsman to boot

recognized, however. by the professors of the
university, and he was given a workroom and
made its maker and mender Of apparatus, eking
out his income by manufacturing and repairing
fddles and flutes 1t not until Professor
Robson called his attention to the possibilities
of tire application of steam to the propulsion of
wheeled vehicles that he began to study the
model of the Newcomer engine owned by the
university and to make improvements on it,
From that time as Mr.. Carnegie expresses it,
he was captured by steam." and all his efforts
were devoted to making its use effective. He
worked out in time all the principles involved in
the modern steam engine, discovering incident
ally the composition of water, but so ham
pered by the lack of tools of precision and of
workmen trained in their use that he was IN
able to bring It 10 high state of develop
ment as would otherwise have been possible
Even when he succeeded in making engines of
the expansion type, the impossibility of getting
men capable of running them compelled him to
revert TO a more simple. practicable form. Yet
as Lord Kelvin says, the triple and quadruple
expansion engine of our day all lies in the prin-
ciple Watt had so fully developed in his day"
Watt suggested the spiral oar or screw pro
peIler. for steamships, and Fulton used one Of
Watts engines on his first boat the Clermont.
OF Watt the inventor the steam engine speaks
all over the civilized world. As to Watt the

a study of his character and personality;

New York, December 23.-(Special)- J. wonderful character of the security mar- ket was again testified to last Monday when the wholly unexpected announce tlent was made of the failure of the three Walsh banking institutions of Chi cago-involving about s25, 1000. Ordinar- fly In the past. bank failures of im- portance have seriously affected the mar ket; not only are they serious affairs in themselves but they appeal powerfully 10 Wall street imagination and are the special delight of the bear party. The bears thought their chance at last had come and at the opening of business freely sold every speculative favorite. Declines in the first hour were numer- pus and extensive, the maximum being feached in Amalgamated Copper, but just bs soon as short selling ceased the same buying power became evident that has ruled the market for the last year. The tebound was swift. Not only were the pld levels restored but in the course of , day or two new high records were

Union Pacific Strong.

Union Pacific is far and away the mar ket leader. It is a matter of daily oc- currence for from 900 to 800, 900 shares of this stock to be traded in and it's price to aggressively rise. It is confi- dentially asserted by those who sought to know that the Morgan-Hill party have been accommodating Union Pacific from 115 up until they are now in actual con trol of the property. It Is asserted that these operations have been conducted under complete entente cordial with Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, and that harmony is established on a firm basis between the Rockefellers-and the Morgans If this be true it can mean but one thing, that Hartman has been dropped by his associates probably in disgust over insur- ance revelations A book value for Un- ion Pacific of S200 is claimed and pre- dictions are made that the price will be made next year.
 Assuming Morgan control of Union Pa cific to be a fact it will certainly follow that the vanderbilts will establish closer relations between New York Central and Union Pacific. Indeed the much talked of Vanderbilt holding company is again said to be on the eve of formation. The Junior Vanderblts have had big rises lately and look like going higher. The Vanderbilt name is worth good deal as regards public confidence.
