THAT the moon our sister planet was
originally torn away from the 1111
L earth we are forced to believe.
The period of its birth We locate some
where between fifty million and five
hundred million years ago. But there are many
facts connected with this great change which still
lie in the realm of speculation and theory, and some
of them were brought home to me last summer,
while was studying the Hawaiian volcanoes, with
an emphasis which seems worthy of special note.
In the Hawaiian Islands rise perhaps the finest
group of volcanic peaks upon our globe. Enormous
in their height and tremendous in their activity,
they differ from other volcanoes in many respects
which lend them special importance in the study
of the moons origin. In the Island of Hawaii found,
living black and sterile amid the magnificent growth
Of palms, bananas and tropical foliage, the great
black lava-bed which swept down from Mauna Loa
IN 1880. 1t burst forth from the side of the noun
tain at height of eleven thousand feet above the
sea and distance of seven miles from the nearest
wall of the summit crater. 1t continued to flow
for nine months, making straight for the town of
Hilo, thirty-one miles away.
As an interesting commentary upon original
belief and educated faith the action of the natives
NAV be noted In great terror the molten flow
steadily approached their homes they met constantly
IN their churches and prayed fervently that the
flow might be arrested. Christianity had gained
firm hold among them fifty years before, and they
trusted to it IN their prayers; but finally the great
burning food continuing to advance unchecked,
they lost heart and reverted to Paganism. They
hocked en- masse to Princess Ruth of the few
survivors OF the old line OF native Chiefs and i'm
plored her to offer sacrifice to Pele, the dread
goddess of the volcano.
Ruth promptly came to the rescue, and without
ornitting a single one of the ancient sacred and
traditional forms she soernnly sacrificed pig,
a white rooster and bottle OF wine, vintage not
stated by throwing them into the on-1noving lava,
phereupon the on-1noving lava stopped instantly
a mile outside the town That II stopped on the
date given is certain and the Christian propaganda
at Hilo since that dav has been attended with
difficulty Skeptica1 science, however has hitherto
declined TO recognize any definite relation between
volcanic action and pig, white rooster or even

The crater of Kiauea is the largest active crater
IN the world. 1t measures three miles by two,
and near the center is located pit known Hale

nearly vertical walls and five hundred feet deep
This pit is gradually filling up with melted lava

THE SPAR MARKET.

The principal American market is in Pittsburg, and prices are regulated by cost of delivery at that point. at which the American and foreign spar come into competition. There is only a limited market for the best grade of spar. ard the probabilities
 hat there would be no very much larger market were the mineral te cost less. since the amount used is determined by conditions wholly out side the cost of the spar. At pres 9nt about 10000 tons of spar are used in steel making at cost to the users of SC to SS a ton. Importers have now a slight advantage on this grade in the Pittsburg market. It is prob able that if a steady supply of this grade, at present or slightly lower prices. could be guaranteed. many American furnaces would change to it's use. For the lowest grade of spar there is almost unlimited market and while there would be small profit in this trade the mining of the low grade would permit the expansion of the in dustry necessary to supply the steel trade

PLENTY OF OFFERS
 BUT NO TAKERS
FOR BONANZA STOCKS ON THE LOCAL mARkET-cOHeERVA-
 TiVES BLAMED.
Purchases of Bonanzas and Oenn at Prevailing Prices AdVised-No Suo- scription List Put Out Here for the New Warren as Yet.
(Rv Frank J. Graf.A

Today's mar >et in the Bonanza Cir
 Gle continues to be somewhat dead
 with plenty of stock offered but nc
 takers. We attribute. the lack of buy
 ing powers to the conservative buyers
 and spectators that are holding off
 expecting that some will sell their
 holdings and others that are getting
 tired will sell at loss. This is poor policy. If it does not cost you any
 thing to hold your stock stay with it; 1t may have it's ups and downs, but will soon rise again as the property will warrant it. We advise the pur- chase of any of the Bonanaza stocks as well as the Denn, for they are back ed by mining men that have capital and are stayers.
 There is no better demonstration anywhere than that of the Calumet & Pittsburg. How many companies would stay with a property as they have, being compelled to pump water for months at a loss to the property, and no funds coming in. But the management know too well the value Of the property, and have themselves advanced the money to help matters along. This shows the value of buy ing property that has men behind it. As Newett stated, remember that q dollar still has 100 cents, and don't throw your money away by puylng up mining or any other kind of stock ua- less you find out who is behind the deal. You have heard of companies that have got the finest mines in the world, so they tell you, but they al ways fail to get the men and money to handle 1t. The Cole crowd, as well as the Pattison crowd. are moniei men and practical mining men that have the confidence of the people, which is everything.
 There has been considerable inqul- ry regarding the Warren Dev. Co. Many are under the impression that there has been subscription list at this office, but so far we know noth- ing of this nature. We have, how ever, wired to those that are interest ed and have asked for an allotment for the Bisbee people, which we hope we will be able to get. We know nothing more than this, but we think 1 that those that are fortunate enough | to get some had best do so. Should | we have the list we will keep you posted and would ask you to watch | the different papers. We can not | state positively where the property | lies, but those that are backing the !: enterprise are extremely good judges of mining ground.

 Broker. c. C. Hot>S Bldg.)

New York, April 27.-The market is closing sharply lower, and while through most of the list some little rally has taken place from the extreme low prices. the close is weak and very nervous Pronounced pressure for liquidation has been on the high-pric- ed stocks, and the recent favorites' sJCck were pulled on rumors of con s0lidation anti dividend increases which 50 far have failed to material ize. The public apparently has lost confidence in the bull side The feel ing seems to be growing that produc- tion in the various industriais has Overtaken consumption; in fact. that for time at least we have seen the last of high prices in the stock mar ket. Then again the uncertainty of the governmental attitude towards several of the large financial interests in the east tends to cause a coDserva- tive feeling, and added to this the po- litical situation abroad offers quite a little uncertainty. In view of the above facts, we still feel it is wise to go slow on the bull side all this time. Rallies will necessarily come from the over sold speculative markets, but it seems to us such rallies can not hold Total sales, 1,657,600. Money closed 2 to 2 3-4 per cent; last loan, z S-4.

TWO BROTHERS ARE ILL.
A Strange Coincidence In The
Dubois Family In Annap-
oils And Baltimore.

News was received here yesterday Of
the critical illness of Mr.. Edward S.
Dubois. of Baltimore, brother of
former Mayor Charles A. Dubois, of
this city, who was taken suddenly i'll
yesterday morning in the Farmers
National Bank, of this city.
BY strange coincidence both broth
ers we're at the point of death at the
same time. When Miss Mollie Milli-
gan, the only relative of former Mayor
Dubois, who was here at the time OF
his illness, telephoned to her uncle in
Baltimore apprising him of the fact
the return message stated that Mr.
Edward Dubois was critically i'll, the
priest having performed the last rites
of the church and that none of the
family.could leave his bedside.
At the latest intelligence Mr. Du-
Bois, of Baltimore, was still alive
Mr.. Edward s. Dubois, or as he is
familiarly known here as, Med" Du.
Bois, was born in Annapolis, and lived
here until his early manhood. He
was a printer by profession and we'll
known newspaper man, being q writer
of considerable ability. He was also
clerk in the Comptroller's office here
under Governor William Pinkney
White. For a number Of years Mr.
Dubois has been clerk to the Police
Commissioners of Baltimore city at
the Central Station. Mr.. Dubois re-
Gently visited Annapolis and renewed
old acquaintance
