NEW BILL HAS PLAN.
NEGOTIABLE BILL OF LADING
IN PROSPECT.
Measures Providing for Uniform In
strument Is introduced Into Both
Houses of Congress-Provis-
ions of Scheme.

Washington.-An important step In
the direction of securing negotiable
bill OF lading acceptable TO banks was
taken recently. when measure pro-
viding for uniform instrument was
introduced in both houses OF congress.
The bill as proposed provides Tor a
negotiable bill OF lading--
In which the words Order OF. shall
be printed.
The preventing OF any alterations
from interfering with enfOI cement of
bill according to its original tenor.
To keep valid a bill until its actual
surrender and cancellation by the car
rier
To relieve banks handling such doc
uments from any responsibility as to
quantity OF quality of goods.
To hold carriers responsible for the
acts of their agents in the issuing and
proper taking up of the documents up
on delivery of the goods.
For partial delivery which may be
endorsed on the document.
1t does not interfere with the docu-
ments now in use, but simply provides
for an additional form. which can be
offered as a proper collateral doeu-
ment
The numerous and heavy losses
which banks have met in the past in
the handling of bills of lading have
been through:
!. Delivery of the goods by the rail-
road without taking up the documents.
2. Through the issuing OF fraudulent
bills of lading.
3. Through the issuing Of duplicate
bills of lading and the diverting OF the
goods represented therein to another
destination.
4. Through straight bills of lading
fraudulently charged to order bills OF
lading.
In consequence Of these many and
serious losses. against which the banks
have been unable to protect themselves
on account of the varying laws OF the
different states, the tendency is for the
banks to make less and less advances
on the supposed security represented
by these documents, and a large num-
Der of banks have set their faces
against making any advances whatever
on bills Of lading. Those who are con-
tinuing to 90 so are only taking such
documents from customers whose
known responsibility outside OF the
amount of collateral represented is suf-
fcient 10 protect against loss.
The amount of money that banks are
now annually advancing on merchan-
disc represented by bills of ladlng is
estimated at $500, OOO, 900, practically
the entire cotton crop being moved
through this medium, and the docu-
ment enters very largely in the imam
cling Of the grain and hay crops as well
as the more perishable farm products.

FINDS CAUSE OF BOREALlS
Minnesota Man Says Lights Are Due
to Sun Shining Through
Snowstorms.

st. Paul, MIMI. Reins, of Ruthton,
Mimi, claims TO have discovered the
cause of the aurora borealis. In let
ter to President Northrop of the Uni
versity of Minnesota Reins declares the
northern lights are caused by the sun
shining from the other side of the
earth through the snowstorms within
the arctic circle.
The light thus reflected from myriads
of crystals of snow is then reflected to
a portion of the sky. where it can be
seen by persons far to the south in the
more temperate zones. The wavering
of the light is explained by the fact that
clusters of snow particles are driven
by the wind. and when a rift is made
by the wind in a snow cloud the re-
fected light becomes less intense and
brightens again as more snow is blown
across the shaft of sunlight
The fact that in the early part of the
night lights always are the strongest in
the eastern Part of the sky and during
the latter part in the western. Reins
says. supports his theory the lights are
produced by the sum-.
