No Effect on Denver Banks.

Denver.-The difficulties of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company of New
York will in no way affect any Denver
interests. Denver bankers are opti-
mistic regarding the local situation and
say that as far as they know the Knick-
erbocker company does not represent
any OF the corporations doing business
i'll Denver and Colorado.
The condition of the banks in this
city and the st" was never better
1t is estimated that there is $56,OO0.000
In deposits in the Denver banks alone.
The latest statement of the national
banks doing business in Denver FN
that of August 22d. and showed THAI
the aggregate deposits of the national
banks alone were about $52,O00.O00.
The crops in Colorado, with the ex-
Ception of the fruit crop, were larger
than usual, and the sugar
beat crop alone will mean.
1t is estimated, $15.750,000 to the
state. Cattle and stock shipments
are heavier than last year. there
is an increased demand for fuel and all
kinds of supplies, and the people OF the
state are optimistic.
THE condition of the New York
stock market does not worry us In the
least, says the Denver bankers, VINO
seem to think that the failure Of the
knickerbocker Trust Company was
due to the companys fight with the
New York clearing house, upon which
it depended for support. The erhbar-
rassment Of this concern is not expect
ed to result in much injury to the
financial world outside of Wall street.
Denver bankers say that the Middle
West and West are no longer the play
things of Wall street and that depres-
sions and panics there, while the" will
be reflected to some extent In all parts
OF the country, can do but little injury
to other parts OF the country.

avenue and Thirty-fourth street, after
the doors were closed the crowd

forced them back to the street again

who passes naturally from stage to
stage of its development, is a compar-

largely that the nature of precocity
is not understood Most parents, for
example, hail the signs of it with de-
light, and do all they can to foster
them. They treat precocity as gold
mine, to be worked for all it is
WORTH" but here they make a great
mistake. There are several types of
precocious children, presenting vary
Ing degrees of peril to the training
system, and this peril is greatly
tessened by a capacity to classify the
types. There are certain children
born of healthy and intellectual stock
with fine physiques. They inherit
usually very active nerve-centers,
which imply, among other things,
quick and eager brain processes.
These children are hailed with justice
as the legitimate Towering Of their

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-09-25

Here is some timely advice from the Hartford Courant and it hits the nail on the head, too When a trol- ley car stops it often happens that a passenger will step off without think ing of anybody but himself and land right in front of passing vehicle, This so often happens that it should be considered the likely thing and when a trolley car is stopped to let passengers out no automobile should be let pass it. You can't tell what fool thing the alighting passenger will do. but you can tell almost certainly that the machine will kill him if it hits him. The way to avoid that is to stop" Nearly all the deaths in this vicinity by autos have happened in just this way and the suggestion that automobiles come to a dead stop when passing trolley cars on public thor oughfares that are traversed contin- ually, is a good one, and the sooner it is lived up to the less number of deaths will have to be recorded.

MAKING A BALLOON.
The Way 1t Is Patched, Vanished and
 Powdered.

The Way It Is Patched, Vanished and
 Powdered.
 A balloon consists of patches of cloth about a yard square sewed secure ly together This is not because of any difficulty in making the fabric of globular shape, for that could easily be done if the pieces were shaped like the skin on the section of an apple
 The reason is that no absolutely re- liable fabric has yet been invented, and there is always the possibility of the balloon bursting Should this hap pen to one of these patches, the escape of gas will not be dangerously rapid as it would be if larger sections were used.
 When the balloon is made 1t is care fully vanished, three coats being giv- en, and each being allowed to dry thoroughly before the next is applied If one coat is left moist the fabric will be attacked by a species of dry rot, which will make it as fragile as the paper this is printed on. In the early days of ballooning many fatal accidents were due to this defect, but now the utmost care is exercised.
 When a balloon is packed up for a journey, powdered chalk is sprinkled between the folds, as otherwise they would stick together and tear.-Pear- sons Weekly.
