which the general stock market showed during
the early trading to-day was the result Of gen

This was the cause OF call money rate going

further calling Of loans to-day again put the
rate up 10 that point
We do not think there is any ground for sp-
prenension of any important disturbance in the
money market because II would break foreign

Berlin's Dust Catchefs.

An investigation is going on in Ber'
lin as to the danger Of the dust Of the
streets causing sickness, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. The royal board
Of health at various places in the city
for instance, at the Opera plah and
near Inter den Linden and other local
ities-has had erected so called dust
catchers. This apparatus consists OF
round boxes about one and a half feet
high, put on a post at a height Of six
feet above the ground. The boxes are
left open to collect the dust flying in
the air. After some time the boxes are
closed, and the dust collected Is anal
yzed to see what substances dangerous
to health are contained In the street
dust.

Motor boots are the latest startling
production Of continental inventors. a
young Swiss engineer is said to have
succeeded in manufacturing a pair Of
boots endowed with motive power Of
their own. The new invention consists
Of a pair Of stout boots, each Of which
is nothing more or less than a minia
ture motor car mounted on foul
wheels. The boots are worked by pc
troll on a new plan, which the inventor
keeps secret. 1t is claimed that an or
dinary pedestrian can travel all day
over average country roads at a pace
Of twelve miles an hour without ex
periencing the least fatigue.
