When Custavus of Sweden was be-

nary aspect gained admittance to his
tent and offered. by way of amusing
his majesty, to devour Il large hog in
his presence. Old General KOnigs-
marck, who was in attendance, at once
suggested that the man with the Gar
gantuan appetite should be burned as
witch, whereupOn the boor, whose
feelings were hurt by this observation
exclaimed, IF your majesty will but
make that old gentleman take off his
sword and spurs, | will eat him before
/ begin the pig" This was accom-
panied by such a ''hideous expansion
of the jaws and mouth that the gen
eral, though he had given his proofs"
on many field, turned pale and fed
tncontinently to his tent.

DIVISIONS OF TIME.
Measurements of the Days, Months
and Years.


A ''solar day" is measured by the ro-
tation of the earth upon its axis and is
of different lengths. owing to the clip
ticity of the earth's orbit and other
causes. but a mean solar day" is
twenty-four hours long, as reckoned by
the timepieces.
An astronomical day commences at
noon and is counted from the first to
the twenty-fourth hour. 4 civil day"
commences at midnight and is count
ed from the first to the twelfth hour,
and then again commences with one
and finishes with twelve. A nautical
day" is reck oned the same as the civil
day" only that the reckoning is begun
ut noon instead of at midnight
4 calendar month" varies from
twenty-eight to thirty-one days. A
mean lunar month" is Twenty-Five
days. twelve hours. fortyfour minutes,
two and two-thirds seconds. A year"
is divided into $50 days \ solar
year" which is the time occupied by
the sun in passing from one normal
equinox to the other, consists of 364.-
24244 days. which is equal to 800 days,
3 hours. 4S minutes, 1886 seconds.
y Julian year" is 800 days even. y
"Gregorian year" is 800 1926 days.
The error in the Gregorian mode Of
time reckoning amounts to but one day
in each 3,J71 years.

CRACKER COMBINE FORMING.
twenty-five Independent Companies
Planning to Join Forces.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. "A combina-
ton of Independent cracker manu-
facturers to be known as the General
Biscuit company is in process Of for
nation, according to George Dobbin
Penniman, a lawyer of this city, who
has returned from New York, where
he has been in conference with parties
interested in the proposed lev corpo-
ration. 1t is understood that about
twenty-five independent companies
will be in the projected combine. The
capital stock will be 1913, 000, 900, but
for the present it will be issued only in
sufficient amounts to absorb the plants
desired. Temporary organization has
been formed, but those concerned pre-
fer not to give out any details until
all plans have been perfected. Mr..
Penniman stated that. owing to pres
ent money conditions, the time was
not opportune for launching the enter
prise, but meanwhile plans will be
carefully worked out. Baltimore, New
York, Philadelphia and st. Louis are
among the cities represented in the
New York company, with Baltimore as
the distributing point for the entire

suits Filled at Salt Lake.

Three suits were filed in the federal
court Saturday in the name Of the
United States against the Oregon
Short Line, Southern Pacific and San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Rail
road companies, says the Salt Lake Trt.
bune. The actions are brought by the
United States district attorney at the
request of the interstate commerce
commission for an alleged violation Of
section 2 Of the safety appliance act
as amended by section l Of the act Of
congress of March 2, 1903. The com
plant against the Short Line charges
that the defendant On July Is, 1907,
hauled a freight car from Rock Springs,
Wyo., over its line to Murray in the
state of Utah, when the coupling and
uncoupling Of said car was u of re-
pair and in operation. for which a fine
of 500 Is demanded. The action
against the Southern Pacific is based
upon a like statement of facts and asks
for a fine of 500. The complaint
against the San Pedro contains three
counts; two for using defective coup,
lings On freight cars. and n for US.
ing an engine with defective couplings
The fine requested to be imposed
, 1907-11-04
against the latter company is 500 en-
each count or $500 in the aggregate.

menced before the present month ends.

London, Nov. 4.-The rise in the

coupled with the unsatisfactory condi-

pressing effect on the stock exchange
today. Consols dropped " and Amer
leans were offered In many cases at q
point below parity without buyers.
Condition Regarded az Sound.
The condition here, however, Is re-
garded as very sound, and the declines
registered and the advance Of the
bank rate is regarded as a purely act.

placed here.
