NEW YORK. November 25-Except in
highly speculative circles. where there Ia
still considerable pesstmism, sentiment OF
this morning Is considerably moro cheer
full Most observers concur in tho opin-
ion. expressed over Sunday by prominent
bankers, that the crisis in the financial
world has been passed and that ma
terially easier monetary conditions will
obtain from this time on. As to the
trend Of general business between now
and the close Of the year, and even for
q longer period, there IL q wider range OF
opinion, and most interests are disposed
to believe that the effect of what has
occurred in Wall street since the middle
Of October will continue to be felt in the
country at large for some weeks at least
into the new year, and some operators
are Of the opinion that business will be
unsatisfactory during the first half Of
1903.
Now that the financial situation seems
to be we'll In hand and promises to clear
UP rather rapidly, it Is believed that
political questions will hold q morn prorni-
nent place in the discussion Of the whole
situation than they did during the period
Of disturbed conditions in the financial
world. A banker whose views OF things IN
general have been very correct, made the
statement last week that not only were
financial matters clearing UP rapidly. but
that the outlook politically was much
clearer than it had been at any time
since the presidential canvass had been
actively considered.
Pressed for a detailed statement Of his
views regarding political affairs, he said
that he was not In q position at this time
to give even intimations as to the basis
for his attitude. To most observers the
political situations seem more compI-
Gated every day, and at the present time
look decidedly confused. From what has
been heard. though, from various impor-
tant sources. 1t would seem safe to as
sumo that further progress has been made
lie has knowledge of.
-
A stock exchange member who Is on
the board every day said this morning
that the character Of the market last
Saturday was much better than that on
any previous day for many weeks. While
conservative interests believe thoroughly
that conditions do not yet warrant great
activity in the stock market, not q few
observers are looking for a further rally
in the leading issues, at any rate. It is
pointed out that in view Of the large dis
bursements to be made during December
wise to bring about big rise In securities
until the monetary conditions throughout
the country nave settled down to a nor
NAL basis.

The Marvel of Distance.

The distance to the nearest fixed star
is so tremendous that, like many of the
facts of astronomy. 1t is beyond the
grasp of the human imagination,
though not beyond the reach of math-
ematieal demonstration. Light, which
travels at speed of 10000 miles in
single second of time. takes over four
years to reach us from the nearest
star The thread spun by spider is SO
excessively fine that a pound of 1t
would be long enough to reach around
the earth. 1t would take ten pounds of
it to reach to the moon and over 5000
pounds to stretch TO the sum- But TO
get a thread long enough to reach the
nearest star would require half mil
lion tons If railroad could be built
to this star and the fare fixed at a cent
a mile the total cost of the journey
would be $3.50, 000,00OOQ0 or more than
sixty times the whole amount of coined
gold In the world.

Black Rods Rnock.

What is the meaning of this hostile
banging of the door OF the house of

humbly knock three times for admis-
sion and wait submissively on the mat
outside until the representatives of the
people decide to open their doors unto
him? 1t is one of several quaint and
curious customs still preserved in par
lament, a survival from period OF
history when the house of commons
was not so free and independent or SO
sacred from royal intrusion as it has
been since the revolution. = Michael

DO Birds sympafhfzcf

I Animals experience grief over the
loss Of their young. but not over the
death of one of their number. Death
itself seems to have no meaning to
them. When a bird seems to mourn
for its lost mate its act is probably the
outcry of the breeding instinct which
has been thwarted. Do the birds and
mammals sympathize with one anoth-
er? When one bird utters cry Of
distress the birds of other species with
In hearing will hasten to the spot and
Join In the cry-at least in the breeding
season. I have no proof that they will
do it-at other times. And | do not call
this sympathy, but simply the alarm
of the parental instinct, which at this
season is very sensitive. The alarm
cry of many birds will often put four
footed animals on the lookout. The
language of distress and alarm is
universal language which all creatures
understand more or less. But I doubt
IL sympathy as we know 1.-THE keen
appreciation of the suffering or the
misfortune of another, which implies
power in a measure to put ourselves
In that others place-even in Its rudi-
mentary form, exists among the lower
orders. = John Burroughs in Human

Full Amount May Not he Paid Even
When Loss Is Complete.
In fire insurance policy the sum in

bility accepted by the insurance COM
pany and determines the premium to
be paid. 1t is not in any way admitted
by the insurance Office as a measure
Of the value of the property insured.

$1,000, possibly more If there are bo-

her with marine insurance companies
for $1,000, can recover the full $1,000
at once should my ship be totally lost.
But IL / insure my house against
fire for $4,000 cannot recover $1,000
unless I can prove the house to be
worth fully that sum. All that | am
entitled to demand is the actual value
of my house Immediately before it was
burned, and I must give every assist
ance to the insurance company in or
der that the actual value may be justly
determined.
BY statute the insurance company
has the power to reinstate that house.
as far as the sum insured wiz go. in
stead of paying me anything. In prac-
tice. compensation is usually agreed
and paid in cash without recourse on
either side to the right Of reinstate-
ment. but in no case am l entitled to
more than the actual value OF my
house as it existed just before the fire.

PATENTS ON INVENTIONS.
Must BE In the Names of the Actual
Inventors.

Inventors.
The law provides for the granting of
patents only to the actual inventor of
the patented invention, and patent
granted in the name of any one else
is invalid For this reason it is essen
tial that the application for patent be
made in the name of the one whom
the law regards as the inventor. In
some factories it is the custom to pat
ent every invention in the name Of
the president of the company. This
frequently happens because the COM
uany has been built up on inventions
made by the president or other officer.
and as matter of pride the president
wishes to see all patents issued in his
name.
This is dangerous thing to do in
the case of inventions which were con-
ceived by the employee independently
Of the officer, such as inventions wholly
worked out by employee without sug-
gestion or assistance from the officer,
for II In suit brought under suci
patent 1t were shown that while the
patent was granted In the name of the
officer the invention was actually made
by an employee the patent would be
declared invalid, and usually suit
would not have reached such a stage
until it was too late to go back and
patent the invention In the name of
the real inventor.-Edwin J. Prindle
in Engineering Magazine.

about them, but it don't rhyme"
"The Huguenots Is the name Of big
thing like a steam roller that the mo-
gul used in India to run over people.
It squoshed them to death and was
very terrible. 1t had eyes painted on
