TO PROTECT ITS RESERVE.
SANK OF ENGLAND RAISES ITS
RATE OF DISCOUNT TO
SIX PER CENT.

London, Oct 20.-The Bank Of Eng
land has raised it's discount rate to 6
per cent. Changes in the discount
rate of the bank on any day except
Thursday have been few and far be-
tween and not since Nov Z, 1890, just
before the Barring failure, has the rate
been put to 6 per cent. The relapse
in American exchange, indicating
renewal of the demands for gold, and
the probability of large Withdrawals of
the metal for Egypt seemed to have
contributed to the action taken by the
Bank Of England
The sum of 100000 in gold leav-
Ing the bank during the day is believed
to be destined for Egypt, while finan-
cial circles anticipate very large pur-
chases in behalf of the United States,
irrespective of whether the rate of ex-
change does or does not render the
transaction profitable. Reports are
also current that the Imperial bank of
Germany is conducting a large bullion
movement for Russian account, while
Argentina is in the market as a pur-
chaser of gold. The multiplicity of
the demands for the metal, it is point
ed out, emphasized the necessity of
protecting the already depleted re-
serves of the Bank of England.

A Monster Musical Instrument.

A Monster Musical Instrument.
The most gigantic harp ever con.
structed, as far as the record goes, was
that made by Veritan, the provost Of
Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, in
1887. That was long while ago, but
the fame Of NJ. Veritan's gigantic harp
was such that 1t is still occasionally
mentioned by writer's on the rare and
the wonderful, just as the sea serpent,
bloody rain, live mastodons, ETC., are.
M. Verltan's colossal musical instru-
ment was 800 feet in length, and, on
that account, was constructed in an
open lot instead Of In harp factory. It
was most simple in construction, con-
sisting of fifteen wires strung tightly
between two poles. These wires were
Of different sizes, the largest being one
sixth of an inch in diameter and the
smallest one-twelfth Of an inch. They
were stretched north and south and In
clned III such manner as to form an
angle Of from twenty to thirty degrees
with the horizon. This queer instrument
was not Intended as an exaggerated
toy, but was constructed for the ex.
press purpose Of foretelling changes IN
the weather, which were calculated BY
Professor Veritan according to the diff
ferent tones the instrument made when
the wind was blowing through 1t.

ROAR OF GUNS HEARD ron MILES
rriai OF Monster British Battisshlp
Successful,

Portsmouth. Eng, Oct. 2O.-British
naval authorities are more than
pleased with results Of the trial of the
battleship Dreadnought, This IL be-
cause there has been some anxiety
and gloomy representations that the
Dreadnought would not stand the
strain of the tremendous discharge of
her great broadside fire and also be-
cause the successful surrounding Of
her trials disproves completely the
rumors that there was hurried work
in the construction of the battleship
Even the eight-gun salvo, said by
those on board to have been terrify-
Ing, produced no serious injury. No
deckplates buckled nor was the blast
dangerous, although there was some
injury to the vessels lighter fittings.
One reason for this Is found in the
great length of her guns. which brings
the muzzles clear of the ships side
when firing on the beam.
The discharge of all eight. of the
Dreadnought's ten and twelve-inch
guns simultaneously represented three
tons of metal in projectiles. The roar
of this salvo was heard plainly In
Portsmouth and all over the Isle of
Wight.

Ants a. Guests OF Plants,

The ants which are really protective
to plants are not those which obtain
their food, indirectly for the most part
through the aphides, from the vegeta-
BILE kingdom, but those which are real
~ carnivOrOus. These are numerous In
temperate climates. and their useful
ness to agriculture and sylviculture Is
lnc0ntestable. Thus the field ant is a
great insect destroyer. A nest Of this
species is capable Of destroying as
many as twenty-eight caterpillars and
grasshoppers minute, or 1000 an
hour, and such colony is at work
day and night during the pleasant
season. In the arid plains Of America
the benefcent work of ants is revealed
In the isles of verdure around their
hills. There are plants hospitable to
ants, which furnish them shelter and
often food, within the cavities of which
the instincts of the ants prompt them
to take their abode. This is the case
with several ferns, among them the
Polypodium nectariferum, the sterile
fronds Of which bear hectares OH their
lower face and are, moreover, of
shape favorable to sheltering the in

LATlON OF LAW az THE
NEW YORK CENTRAL.

New York. Oct. 20.-Judge Holt, in
the United States circuit court, has
imposed fine OF Sl0S.000 on the New
York Central and Hudson River Rail-
road company for granting rebates to
Lowell Nj. Palmer, who has charge Of
transportation for the American Sugar
Refining company. There were six
counts and fine of $4,000 was i'm
posed in each.
Frederick l.. Pomeroy assistant
traffic manager Of the New York Cen
trail was fined $1,000 on each count, a
total Of $4,000.
Such violation of law" said
Judge Holt in passing sentence, us
much more heinous than the ordinary
common, vulgar crimes usually
brought before the criminal courts.
Those are crimes of sudden passion
and temptation. These crimes we are
dea..ng with were committed by men
Of education, business experience and
standing in the community and as
such they should be expected to set
an example of obedience to the law,
on the maintenance of which the Sc
curity Of their property depends.
This corporation received large and
valuable public privileges. 1t was un-
der the highest obligations to treat all
citizens alike. Under these circum-
stances and for an offense so clearly
fragrant it is the duty of the court to
impose a penalty commensurate with
the gravity of the offense."

Sign of a Trained Nurse.

II used to wonder why it was that l
noticed so many young women Juggling
suit cases all over town." said the man
on the street corner. "At first thought
perhaps they were independent young
persons who were on their way to the
Grand Central station or to the ferry
boats to take trains, but then no
ticed them In parts of the town where
they couldn't possibly be making for
railroad station, since they were go
ing In the wrong directions. Now |
have learned who these women are.
Most of them are trained nurses. When
they leave the hospitals or their homes
to attend case they pack their uni
forms and other necessaries in these
suit cases, which they carry with
them. So when you see a young wom-
an carrying suit case and bound in
direction away from boat or railroad
station it's very likely she's a trained
nurse and is either starting out to at
tend case or is returning from one"

MURPHY is SUMMONED.

Tammany Leader Asked to Tell Grand
Jury of Corruption.
New York, Oct. 20.-Charles F. Muir
ply, boss of Tammany Hall, has been
summoned by District Attorney Je-
rome to verify before the grand jury
an accusation which he made to the
newspapers that independence league
managers were demanding blackmail
from Tammany nominees for the with
drawal of league candidates named
against them.
Murphy asserted that it had been
intimated to him that Judge Otto A.
Rosalsky, a Republican, had paid the
Independence league managers for his
place on the leagues ticket.
A subpoena was also issued for
Francis Sheber, an Independence
league candidate for congress, who
was quoted in an afternoon paper as
saying that he personally knew of a
Tammany man approaching an indie
pendence league nominee and de-
handing money for placing the league
mans name on the Tammany ticket.
