LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was good buying OF the per cent
bonds of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company at today's meeting OF the
stock exchange. The supply at 50 was ex-
hausted apparently when the trading was
over, and more than $4,000 In bonds had
been disposed Of Incfaded In the trans
actions were a couple OF $4,000 lots.
At the close the asking price was S0A.
The selling price was on the same level as
the sales Of yesterday.
A couple OF lots of Capital Traction stock
sold at 130 and 130A. and after that tho
stock was offered down to 129k. but the
best bid was 12Sh. and nothing more was
done. No attempt was made to give the
stock support, and there il no explanation
OF the decline in the figures which has
taken place, and which amounts to about
eleven points when the selling price Of to-
day is compared with that OF the first OF
the last month.
The common stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company sold at ~
and then down to 3Sx The character OF
the market might be inferred from the fact
that the principal dealer In the stock at
one time offered one thousand shares or any
part at 3Sx. and then later on bid % and
BON for one thousand shares and 10 for an
option on one thousand shares. but without
result At the close the bid was 30 and the
asking price 39k, which were tie figures
at the close of yesterdays market, except
the asking price then was S9h.
One of the brokers sold nine hundred
shares Of Mitchell Mining stock at ~ and
~. and those figures were the bid and the
asking price at the close.

NEW YORK, May transactions in to-
days stock market. which were In greatly
reduced volume. resulted In nothing be-
yond small and irregular changes In the
more active railroad stocks. There was
very little In the mornings news or in the
developments with the course of the day
calculated to shape speculative sentiment
definitely in one direction or another. The
west furnished another batch of discour-
aging weather and crop advices. and the
effect of these was reinforced to some ex-
tent by the strength of the grain market.
The London stok exchange was closed
over the usual May holiday at that point.
30 no influence was exerted from that d.
rection.
A number of dividend declarations and
statements of earnings were made public,
but furnished no surprises.
Yesterdays rumors. which were at the
time fatty denied that the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe Company was arrang
ing for the raising of fresh capital. were
officially confirmed this morning. Convert
tble 5-per cent bonds. running ten years, to
the amount of about SIG .00O,000 are to be
offered to the common and preferred share
holders, and 1t was said that the transac-
assistance of an underwriting syndicate.
Atchison stocks were practically unin-
nuenced by this intelligence.
The excellent quarterly statement of the
United States Steel Corporation, published
after the close of business yesterday ap-
parently acted as an Offset to any feelings
of disappointment which might have been
experienced because of the retention of the
quarterly dividend on the common stock at
one-half Of l per cent.
United States Steel Looks Good.
1t now appears that the company has
made special appropriations out Of its
earning for the past three quarterly periods
amounting to about $45.00o.000. a large
part of which has been devoted to the con-
struc" II of a new plant at Gary, Indiana.
The United States Steel Corporation appears
to be actually earning at the present time
In the nefghborhood of 16 per cent upon its
common stock, and with such a showing
1t is not strange that the shareholders
yidends upon their investment.
1t seems hardly reasonable that a single
generation should be called upon to pro-
vide the entire sums needed for the tremen-
douS outlays of the corporation upon the
Gary plant. and it can hardly be doubted
that some time in the future the sharehold-
ers of the common stock wi. be compen-
stated for their present curtailed dividends.
The most striking movement in the days
market took place among the industrial and
miscellaneous issues. where the leading
lean Smelling. Consolidated Gas and
Brooklyn Union Gas. Another very sharp
advance in copper metal in London was
generally referred to In connection with the
strength of Amalgamated Copper stock.

SO that the top layer, or roof, consisted OF

One would imagine that closely packed
mass Of cells Of this kind 1000 in number,
would have developed some difficulty in
flying in moderate breeze IL the cells
interfered with one another to any ma
teral extent; but this kite not only flew
well in a breeze estimated at not more than
about ten miles hour because 1t did

meters long. and more than 200 meters OF
manila rope used as flying lines, and. In
addition to all this. supported a man In
the air page 10
The whole kite, impedmenta and all.
including the man, weighed about r31 kgs.
(2S pounds, and its greatest length from
side to side was meters at The top and
3 meters at the bottom. The sloping
sides measured 3 meters, and the length
from fore to aft at the square bottom was
3 meters. 1t is obvious that this kite might
be extended laterally at the top to twice its
length without forming immoderately
large structure. 1t would then be II meters
on the top $50 feet and meters on the
bottom from side to side. without changing
the fore-and-aft dimensions or the height.
1t would then contain more than double the
number of cells, and should be able to
sustain in the air more than double the
load: so that such a structure would be
quite capable of sustaining both man and
an engine of the weight of man and yet
be able to fly as kite in a breeze no
stronger than that which supported the
Frost King.
AN engine of the weight of a man could
certainly impart to the structure a velocity
of ten miles an hour. the estimated We

vert the kite into a free flying machine.

themselves into the air on wings, and most
have met with disaster to life or limb.
There have been centuries of effort to pro-
duce a machine that should fly like bird,
and carry a man withersoever he willed
through the air. and previously to 1888. the
year sacred to the memory of the brothers
Montgoltier, all experiments at aerial To-
comotion had this end exclusively in view.
Then came period when the conquest Of
the air was sought through the agency Of
balloons. For more than one hundred years
the efforts of experimenters were chiefly
directed to the problem of rendering the
balloon dirigible; and the earlier expert
ments with gliding machines, and artificial
wings, and the projects of men to drive
heavy bodies through the air by means of
propelers were largely forgotten. The bal
loon was changed from it's original spherical
form to a shape better adapted for pro-
pulsion and at last, through the efforts of
Santos Dumont, We have arrived at the
dirigible balloon of today. But in spite of
the dirigibiity of the modern balloon. it
has so far been found impracticable to i'm
part to this frail structure a velocity sufh
Client to enable it to make Roadway against
anything but the mildest sort of wind. The
character of the balloon problem has there
fore changed. Velocity of propulsion rather
than dirigibilty is now the chief object Of
research
Warned by the experiences Of others, I
have sought for a safe method Of approach
"a method that should risk human life as
little as possible during the earlier stages of
experiment.

LAoN'S GLORY.
Its Group of Towers Wonderful In
Effect Of Lightness and Airiness.

From the Century.
If Laon Is, as some say the name
means. the glory of the mountain" the
tower Tor, rather, the towers is the glory
of it's cathedral. The architect planned a
great cluster of them-two at the west
front, two at each transept, and the lantern
in the center. The entire group was never
completed, and not one of the spires de-
signed to crown them all remains. But the
towers that were built did not lose their
nobility of design with their spires.
/ can recall others of more delicate elab-
Grafton of more simplicity, of such state
illness: none that, for all the rudeness and
strength they share with the rest Of the
cathedral, has so great an effect Of light
ness and airiness as one looks up to the
long, narrow. open arches and windows.
with the blue heavens shining through. II
they have been restored the restoration
does not show in glaring white patches on
the surface of dull gold gray with which
centuries of wind and rain and sun, on
their exposed hilltop. have covered them.
They are beautiful when one stands i'm
mediately below as well as when one
catches a sudden glimpse of them at the
end of one Of Laon's narrow streets; or
when walking on the ramparts. one
watches them, grouped into new beauty
against the sky.

THE United States Department Of Agri-
culture will soon issue farmers bull
letin 2g7, entitled Methods of De-
stroying Rats" prepared under the super
vision of the chief of the bureau of biologi-
cal survey, by D. E. Lantz. assistant biolo-
sist. The topic is Of perennial interest. and
an infallible method of discriminating these
rodents would be worth more to the people
OF the United States in a single decade than
the Department of Agriculture has cost
since its establishment.
One rat Is much like another SO far as
destructiveness goes. but it Is OF interest
to note that three kinds have appeared
in this country, all immigrants from the
old world. The black rat was the first to
reach our shores, which it did nearly 300
years ago The common species. known
as the brown. or Norway. rat, arrived
about the year 1878 and at once proceeded
to drive out it's weaker rival, until almost
everywhere it has supplanted it. The third
species. known as the roof. or Alexandrine,
rat of Egypt. is a great mariner and in
tests every ship; hence naturally, it is
common along oar coast, especially in the
south.
All rats are dangerous foes. but the
brown rat is the worst mammalian pest in
existence, and in the United States destroys
more property than all other noxious ami
mails combined. No statistics of the actual
damage annually done by these rodents
have been gathered in America. In Dem
mark the loss is put at 100000 year,
