PRACTICE AND THEORY.

A celebrated anatomist states that
the waists OF English girls are grow
Ing smaller and those OF American
girls larger.
Scientists are theorists In nine cases
out OF ten. Their word remains un-
disputed for want OF evidence.
This. however. is too important a
statement 10 overlook. VIVA, we
want are facts.
We are at present making n care
full examination 10 ascertain the truth.
We are doing the thing personally to
DO sure.
Several hundred New York girls
were first selected. Tail handsome
blondes were picked out. Each enc
was examined separately. The arm
was exclusively used-except In some
cases where both arms were neces-
sary.
This Is q preliminary report We
have been so busy that mp 20 date
we have not had time to get the exact
figures.
Speaking generally. however. We
can say that the waist of the average

Entertainment Vastly Pleasing to the
Little Ones.

Little children OF eight or nine. and
even some bigger girls Of ten or II,
are fond OF playing with paper dolls,
so Il was a bright thought that came
TO one little hostess 10 give a Dolls
House Party In order TO amuse her
young friends.
This Is how the entertainment was
given-and II was such complete
success that instead Of dolls house
parties being quite novelty. as they
are at present. they should soon be-
come quite popular. First OF all the
little girls we're invited 10 tea. from

children were asked to Illustrate one

her own furniture. The dolls them
selves were cut from fashion caha-
logues and Illustrated papers. and each
child was asked 10 select her own

The children were busy with paste
and scissors until tea time. and then

What Is an EIectron2

From Current Literature for October.
 All physicists seem now to agree that the atom-or what goes by that name may safely be defined as a unit built up of electrons. The problem is the elec- tron. What is it? As the Paris Cosmos sums up one definition, the electron is particle of matter carrying a charge of electricity. negative electricity. But other scientists prefer to call the cleo tron a disembodied charge of negative electricity, pure and simple" These two views may be distinct. They may be in reality identical. It all depends upon the nature of electricity, of which we are in a state of ignorance as dense as ever. But even if we leap over the difficulty we are not much nearer a definite con ception of the modern atom. Whether t consists of central body surrounded by a ring of electrons or whether the cleo irons are immersed in the central body, like plums in a pudding, are alternatives of which anyone may, at present, take his choice, for the truth is that the ma terials are not sufficient for decision" But the discussion on the constitution of the e1ectron with which the scientific press is for the moment filled has been valuable in bringing out two points. The first is that vital change must be made in our conception of the atom. The next is that physical science cannot inform us what that change must be.

New York, October. 5.-(Special. 1.-The bank statement showing a loss in cash almost twice as large as predicted by the prophets and sons of prophets out for profit, put a sudden stop today to rally in the stock market which had set in just before the official figures Of the financial institutions had been made public. Prices shaded off Immediately all around and business came almost to a stop. Final quotations disclosed net losses extending to about one point ln Amalgamated copper and St. Paul. or ferings of long stock were restrained by the hope that in view of the customs collections from the New York banks of more than $4s.0O0,0OO In the next three months, Secretary Cortelyou would in crease the government deposits in the financial institutions.
 Arbltrage houses sold about 5000 shares at the opening of the market here yes terday evidently evening up on the week. After that they did nothing.
 In spite of some support from special ists in smelters, that stock did not act very well. Weakness again developed In the Morgan railway issues Louisville opened a point lower, but recovered later. Southern was traded in at the start at 121a, decline of % of a point from yes terday's closing and toward the close suffered further break to 12B, mak- ing a new low record. No demand for it was apparent on the decline and gossip was still busy concerning the possibility of a receiyership in face of the exceeding ly poor statement of earnings issued dur ing the week. Erie declined in sympa- thy with the other Morgan issues, also making a new low record.
 The volume of trading was one of the smallest of any Saturday this year.

When Judge Landis Beqan to Practice

All man needed to practiVe law In Indiana, says Judge Lands in an arti- cle by John T. McCutcheon in Appleton s magazine, was to prove that he was N and had q good moral character" Both of which were, and are, easy to prove in Indiana. Law and politics travel hand in hand down there, and 1t Is not surprs-. ing that we next find him engaged in d hot political fight. He vigorously sup ported a friend who was elected secretary of state in Indiana, and as reward he accepted a position in the secretary of states office. He stayed there two years and then began to practice law at Marion, Ind.
 After short time, by simple and direct process of reasoning, he arrived at the conclusion that something besides age and a moral character is required by one who would be a successful lawyer Nature had denied him the commanding bulk and profound manner that often pass es a substitute for legal training in small towns. so he went to Cincin- natl law school for a year. His senior year was spent at the old Union College of Law in Chicago.
 "'l was very weak on pleading and real property" he says, "and when the time for my examination approached 1 knew that I would have to show my hand So l went to Judge Booth, in whose de- partment those branches of the law were taught, and confessed that l was not very strong in them.'

Manchester, EngInad, October 5.-The cloth market during the week experienced an irregular trade at easier rates. Bleach- ing cloths and fine goods generally con tinued in demand for India. while China took fair quantities of printings. But with the exception of a few miscellaneous orders for Japan business in other direc- tions was DOT. Buyers generally acted with great caution, owing to the belief that cotton was being temporarily held back and must come forward in large quantities in the near future and at easier prices. In yarns the turnover was small American cops firmly mixed in their strong position. Full rates were demand ed for immediate delivery. but the lower grades ruled in the buyers favor.
