Metchnikoff on White Hair.
RAILROAD BONDS.
From the Lancet.


This interesting question was discussed
by NJ. Metchnikoff at a meeting of the
Academic des Sciences held on May T. One
OF the explanations which have been sug-
gested for the hair turning white Is that
the individual hairs become dry with age
and that the air penetrating into their In
terror destroys their pigment, Others have
said that the coloring matter Of the hair
o, any part of the body disappears under
the influence of chemical substance. NJ.
Metchnikofr however is persuaded That
the whitening of hair is q vital phenomenon
due TO cellular activity. Hair, according 70
him. is not an inert material: 1t is alive,
and Is composed of living cells provided
with prolongations which envelop and de-
troy Elementary substances in contact with
them. These "chromophagic' cells In THIS
way gradually destroy the coloring matter
of the hair and spread in each direction
both toward the root of the hair and to-
ward It's extremity. This may be recog-
n.zed by the fact that after the greater
portion of the hair has become white the
root stlli remains colored. NJ Meschntko;r
haa observed that the hair of women who
use curling tongs heated to 90 or 10 degrees
centigrade is comparatively slow to lose
It's color. The heat destroys the chrome
phagic cells.
In order to make scientific study OF the
whitening OF hair III. Metchnikoff used ami
n ais whose hair Is white In winter and
dark in summer, and in this way he found
that In some species of Russian and Alpine
hares the change from dark 20 white fol-
lows the same course as In the human Sub
ject. Moreossr, when persons hair turns
white In a single night under the influence
change is due to excessive excitasion of the
chromophagic cells, which thereupon de-
stroys the coloring matter OF the hair in q
few hours

through realizations in order to meet the
losses incurred in Russian securities IN
Paris, besides creating much uneasiness
among nervous holders there. Consols
started wen in anticipation of reduction
of the Bank OF England's rate of discount.
but when 1t was found that the reduction
did not bring in fresh business or cause
activity In gilt-sdged securities disappoint-
ed holders realized. The result was net
loss. HON. rails still failed to attract pub
lie support, and with professionals apa-
thetic quotations gradually fell away.
Americans provided most of the excite
ment, the good crop reports and the satis-
factory placing Of Pennsylvania bonds in
Paris helped the bulls. Prices rose sharp
ly cary in the week, but broke badly later
on rumors Of fresh Issue OF United Steel
and reports OF further borrowings on the
part Of various railways

wiped out and quotations at the dnish were

but 1t is thought that the lower bank rate

rates. The weakness Of Paris exchange
pointed to competition for next weeks arri-

account for the pressure OF LIQUIDATION
which appears In the stock market when
favorable developments awaken any de-
mand. Thus the Pennsylvania French
bond sale and the increase in the Bati-
more and Ohio dividend have been made
the occasion for special pressure upon Penn
sylvania stock. The sympathetic effect was
sufficient to break the whole market.
The cutting OF southern foundry iron
prices and the obvious pressure to sell the
iron and steel industrials have awakened
fears of an Improbable contest breaking
out In that trade. This has been depress-
ing effect elsewhere by sympathy. The ap-
preach OF the July settlements promises
some special requirements on the money
market which threaten to be complicated
by the obligation of the New York trust
companies to increase their cash reserves
at that time. and by the withdrawal on
July 10 of S1o.0O0,OoO of government de-
posits with the national banks. Another
factor which has not been without ITS in
ffuence In depressing speculative sentiment
is the active progress of anti-corporation
abuses which feeds that agitation.

Alarm Clock That Speaks.

They are making clocks now that speak

Lake Food Fish Becoming Scarce.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Unless strong measures are taken by the
government of the United States and Can
ada, the perch and whitefish OF the lower
lakes seem doomed nearly to extinction
The fishermen In the Detroit and st. Clair
rivers and Lake ST. Clair, where they have
been abundant. complain that they are fast
disappearing The great demand for perch
and whitefsh has naturally resulted In
their depletion to some extent. But the
millions Of carp, suckers and mullets are
their worst enemies. They devour great
quantities of the roe and countless min
nows. The government hatcheries are un-
equal to the task of keeping the lakes
stocked with these two kinds OF fish, chiefly
because 1t ia yearly becoming more dificult
to find them during the spawning season.

Mcdonald Gets Good
News on His Return

d. c. Mcdonald, manager of the
Mechanically company, received a
Christmas present from Superintendent
Jim Mcdonald, at the company
ever received.
One of the first things Mr.. Mcdonald
did on his return from Salt Lake was
to telephone to Superintendent Melon
aid, at the mines and ask about the
progress of the development work dur
ing his absence.
I'VE have a great showing, replied
Superintendent Mcdonald. 1T has i'm
proved steadily every day since you
went away. Cone out and take look
at things
Mr.. Mcdonald was delighted at this
news, which he looked upon as a Christ
mas present of the most satisfying sort.
He is going out to the mines today.
He believes that the showing upon the
company's ground must be extremely
good. as Superintendent Mcdonald is
not a man given to superlatives, and
when he says thing he means it with
good wide margin of reserve.

SPLENDID ORE ON
THE ELY GIBRALTAR

Taking advantage Of the presence in
this city of D. c. Mcdonald, the vice.
president and manager of the Ely Glib
raltar Mining company, says the Salt
Lake Tribune, the directors of this
cumpany met in Salt Lake and made
arrangements for the comforts of the
men employed and for pushing the de-
velopment work upon the property dur
ing the coming winter. 1t was deter
mined to construct all the necessary
bunk and boarding houses at once and
this work will be commenced upon the
return Of Mr.. Mcdonald. The directors
also talked over the campaign of devel-
opment work now being carried for
ward so diligently upon this Duck
Creek property, and the reports rem
dered by Manager Mcdonald were of
the most encouraging character.
1t is the plan of the company to
continue the main working shaft ON
down to respectable levels upon the
vein before any side exploratory work
is done. Perhaps at the 150-foot level
the vein will be explored by a drift,
and from that point on down as the
shaft descends the management will
take the measure of their resources at
each succeeding level. The vein upon
the surface shows to be from fifteen to
forty feet wide, and from the footwall
ore of extremely high character has
been stripped for total distance of
fifty feet. This ore is from four inches
to two feet in width, and it averages
upon numerous assays from 76 to SO
per cent lead, with silver contents rang
ing from three to Is ounces.
1t is doubtful if any mining region
contains such surface showings as the
Duck Greek district, and it is only
short distance removed from the camp
of Ely. Upon the Ely Gibraltar, and
upon the ground of the Success COM
pany, of which Mr. Mcdonald is also
manager, the showings are of uniform
and astonishing magnitude. The ores
are ideal for smelling purposes. The
Ely Gibraltar property is not over two
miles away from the railroad, and the
smelter site of the Nevada Consolidated
company. In case the latter company
decides to put in lead stack, as seems
practically assured, the company can
construct an aerial tram, which will
deliver their lead ores to the smeter
without great cost or trouble. The
demand for such ores in the Salt Lake
market, however, and the premium
paid for rock of this character, will
permit it's shipment at most advantage
Gus rates at this time.
The Ely Gibraltar is one of the pio-
neers of the Duck Creek region and
its future disclosures will be watched
with great interest in local circles, as
well as at Ely and San Francisco. The
stock is listed in San Francisco, and it
has met with most cordial reception
on that market
