Financial Crash Expected.

This situation has greatly increased
the dangers of a financial crash. The
people, even the commercial interests,
are Withdrawing their money from the
banks, converting it into gold, boarding
il. or demanding foreign exchange,
which the state bank is issuing upon
the foreign balances Of the govern
ment. Exchange on London yesterday
rose TO $50, over a rouble above the
normal.
The Associated. Press has just
learned from . high authority that the
situation in the Baltic region has grown
exceedingly grave. and the troops at
Reval and neighborhood are in open
mutiny. This was the real cause of the
extraordinary cabinet meeting which
was held at Tsarskoe-Selo last night.

James Edoff of San Francisco and
the Auditorium Hotel tells how the
game of high finance was worked out
In Nevada in the COS He says:
Il had a quasi uncle who was a
banker in a town we will call Rose
bud in Nevada. | was employed in
his bank, where l saw some things,
can tell you. The distance from Rose
bud to Howling Mill was 140 miles
and there were more holdups on that
section of road in those days than
anywhere in the United States.
"a man We will call r. d. Roberts,
millionaire, came into the bank one
morning and told my uncle he wanted
to buy exchange for $4,000 on the
bank of Howling HILL
All right said my uncle; it will
cost you $500.
Roberts declared it was cheap at
the price.
Now, my uncle had no account
with the bank at Howling Hill and no
funds there. He had to draw on a
San Francisco bank and request them
to arrange the exchange for him. All
this he told to Roberts.
when Roberts was gone he said to

thirst and fatigue he found himself
in possession of fine stretch of coun-
try over $4,000 acres in extent. After
leasing this land for ten years he
sought fresh territory and marched
over into Tierre del Fuego.
He was the first Briton to pene-
trate into the country and the natives
resented the intrusion. The tall Aonas
and the stunted Yaghanas came in
hordes, attacked his little castle and
lay in wait for him with arrows.
An intrepid rider and an unerring
shot, however, he would ride away
concealed by the horses body and
shooting with deadly effect. For sew.

hands, but at last the savages began

How many leaves do you think
tree has?" asked the man VINO hau
read it all up, stopping his friend III
the park. "Of course you don
know. Some birches have 2OO,OOO'
and each leaf has 100000 mouths, |
know of a sixty-year-old beech that
had $4,000 leaves and a thirty-five-
year old one that had only 5000.
"Those $4,000 leaves, dried, weigh
ed only ten pounds, and the 5000 dried
only three-quarters of pound. But
they do tremendous work in a season.
During a spring and summer birches
and lindens have been found to ex-
hale 600 or 700 pounds of water per
pound of dry leaves; the ash tree
about 500; beeches, 400; naples, 400
and oaks, $50. The conifers give out
about 100 pounds tree. To stagger
you still more, an acre Of beech for
est of, say, 500 trees would exhale
about 100000 pounds.
"And the funniest part of it all to
me is that the water in a tree, or
the moisture, really amounts to more
than half the weight of the tree, or
from 55 to co per cent, while the wood
weighs but 40 to As per cent In a
big forest what you don't see weighs
more than what you do see. Funny,
isn't it.

box. When I brought in the box he
packed it full of sawdust, put $4,000
in the middle of the sawdust, nailed
down the box and addressed ii to the
cashier of the Howling Mill bank.
81 remember the stage wheeled
right up past the door of the bank
and on the front seat by the driver
sat Roberts. My uncle came out
with the box as the stage drew up.
Here, Roberts, catch this he
called, and he tossed up the candle
box to Roberts. AS you go by the
bank in Howling Hill throw it down,
will you? It's some quartz of some
mines here they want to look at.
Don't forget it,
All right, l won't, said Roberts,
and he tossed the box into the boot
along with other odds and ends.
That's how Roberts carried his
own money and paid $500 for the
privilege" concluded Mr.. Edoff.
Mr.. Edoff is rich and prosperous
now and is developing literary turn.
He is thinking strongly of writing a
book of his "reminiscences of early
