method of raising surfaces with tubes and bits

BACK TO NATURE.
Colony of Health Seekers Live
SimpIy an Szcit@erland.

French and German papers are commenting upon
the presence. in the neighborhood OF LOcarno. IN
Switzerland, the borders of Laso Maggiore, OF
a colony OF "naturistes." They described as "a
kind OF religious sect. the adherents OF which
walk about naked the mountains. go to the
markets In bizarre accoutrements TO buy yege-
tartan foods. and live in such a peculiar fashion
that the police have been uneasy about them.
Some of these legends have been destroyed by

in ordinary life. and there is about them some
thing OF the gentleness and mysticism that
finds in converts.
The director and proprietor OF the COLONY is a
Dutchman. Henry Oedenkove and In spite OF his
white tunc and long curled hair. held in place by
a ribbon. there is nothing mystical or priestly
about him Son OF a leading merchant OF the Low
Countries. he is now thirty-four years old Until
he was twenty he lived other people do, but
under adverse conditions. for he was an invalid
a prey to doctors and remedies. The doctors
sent him 20 the vegetarian sanatorIum OF Dr.
Kuhn at Leipzig, and here in few months he
was cured simply by living naturally and taking
no medicine. Not only his body cured. but
luton. Every individual. the ''naturistes' say who
has been initiated into the mysteries OF vegetarian
ism and hygienic living experiences a similar
change. Having the falseness and Injurious
ness of civilized customs. they cannot bring them
selves TO take up again the imbecile burden. Just
others look upon the ''naturistes" as cranks.

HOW DWELLERS DRESS.

At 1880 o'clock a bell sounds. The ''naturistes'
dress theselves-very Httle-and repair 10 the CEN
trail pavilion. The clothing OF the men consists of
q short tunic. trousers and sandals. The women
wrap themselves in draperies OF various kinds. the
designs being borrowed from the paintings of Puvis

painters. tt goes without saying that there no

Rryrrw or THE FINANCIER.

New York, May 4-The Financier says:
 Last weeks official statement Of the New York Associated Banks was unfavoraoIe from the borrowers point of view in that it indicated a decrease in reserve by apout one-half of the previous week Thn Is suit however, probably chiefly due 10 tne inclusion in the return of the fourteentn Street Bank winch joined the clearing house as a member at the beginning Of the week The institution loans add about sI,- 000 900 and its deposits little more than this sum these items in the statement. while the cash held by this bank was about one and three-quarter millions with the increase of SIG, ,so27o in loans and conse- quently in deposits, thus partially accounted for, however 1t appears that there was banks this most likely was due to opera tions incident to syndicate disbursements ana to the May shipments. The cash items showed a decrease of S,e1SO00; an amount somewhat in excess of that which was made on the basis of the traceable movements in money during the week.
 The deposits were augmented sl44lo'eoo which amount closely agreed with the sum of the expansion in loans less the decrease in cash and hence the statement made good proof The required reserve against general deposits was increased s36o4.lbe, adding much to the loss of cash, as above, made s5, 522. 15o the decrease in surplus. resrve t ses24s25 Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of s31, 626. 100 public funds, the surplus is $14.T31.15o. The daily average of bank clearings during the week was S0s millions against 263,oo0, ooo fin the previous weeks clearings on Satur- day including Fridays business were s322,24s,175.
 Comparisons of loans by individual banks showed that ten institutions increased this item by si7000. 900 net five banks lost one and a half millions net cash.

day filed a bill in the Circuit Court asking a reorganization of the Corn Products Company under the direction Of the courts and that receiver be appointed for the plants of the com pany in this State.
 The court is also asked to enjoin the Corn Products Company, the Corn Products Refining Company and the Glucose Sugar Refining Company and the officers of these companies from selling or conveying to the Corn Pro- ducts Company any property now In the name of the Glucose Sugar Reiin- ing Company.
 After rehearsing the history of the formation of the Corn Products Com pany it is set forth in the bill that htty-one per cent. stock of the corn Products Company was held in the name of r.. 1. Bedford and his asso- ciates whom the bill declared are com monly known as the Standard Oll people.
 The methods of the conspiracy" 1t Is said. in the blll. included the for nation of a corporation known as the Corn Products Refining ompany, owned by IT. Mattheson, and oth- CTS whose names with the exception of F. T. Bedford. have not been learned. As part of the conspiracy, c. H Matthiesen and his co-directors Dave F.. T. Bedford and his asso- ciates control the Corn Products Com pany with all it's trade sects and fac tories. It is asserted that the stock holders of the Corn Products Company were discouraged as much as pos bic by such reports as would induce them to sell out or transfer their stock.
 The bill further declares from the beginning the company has Teen sub jected to attacks by the Standard Company. One method was the con struction of a factory for the New York Glucose Company by Bedford and his associates. This method fafl- ed and it was then attempted to buy the stock of the Corn Produce Com pany by depreciating the stock values by the sales of large quantities of stock on different exchangas in i'm mense amounts and buying it in again at a lower figure.
 Five million dollars of common stock was cut down by false sales to one-tenth of its supposed value. while 30,000,000 of preferred stock was given to one quarter of it's par value. Some days nearly the full amount of the stock issues were sold. although the sales were false and fraudulent"
 Other stsps in the alleged consplra-
 
 been the purchase of the Wagoner factory in Lake county, Illinois, and the St. Louis factory at St Louis. Mo. The bill declares "Tha conspira tors are now planning to be traneferr ed to the Corn Products Refining Company, and destroy the value of stock held by us. The market for glucose, starch and by-prodUcts has been allowed to fall as far as possible into the hands of the factories owned by Matthieson, Bedford and others and an absolute monopoly has been crea- ted. It is further declared that thepav- mcnt of quarterly dividends have ceas- ed and that the stock had been fraud Glently taken from all exchanges. Tn conclusion the bill declares that tba Corn Products Refining Comuanv is a trust operating in opposition 10 the laws of Illinois and the court is ask ed to take action in the premise 8.
