The chief danger in the future Is Il crisis in the money market It $ to be hoped that thls will be avert"d as the result of the past liquidation and through prudent action by the banks, snys Banker Clews. The latter should continue to lend freely to all sound. going concerns, since m rn- due curtallment of credit at this time might easily precipitate disas- ter. Of course the blow in Wall street will bc felt indirectly in Industrial and commercial circles: particularly in respect to new enterprises, or the cnInrgemcnt of old ones. Wall street has umqucstlOnahly pretty well dis counted all mfnvurable conditions and further reactions in securities ought to bring prompt rallies. The com lnndIty markets, however. have not yet shown any general tendency to TO- ccle from the present abnormaliy high level. Costs of production havo been greatly enhanced by the rise in labor and commodities. The fact has more to do with the present striu- gency in nom"y than ia generally sup puseI. While our supplies Of capital have been exhausted by recent de- mnnds. 1t is also true that inc supply of money has been rendered ina,!c- auatc 10 a Iarg,. extent by high prices fin aIl commodities. If We are to re- turn to more normal conditions if seems inevitable that some react.oh must follow here: not to the extent which has l,spn experienced tn Wall street bat sillI to a substantially low er Ir,pl than now exists.

The forest service for some tune past has been carrying on series or experiments at it's timber testing sta tIon at New Haven to determine the effect of continuous loads applied for long periods of time to wooden beams, The beams are tested by an ingenious apparatus which is so ar ranged that the load on the specimens is constant, however much they may bend The most interesting part or the testing machine is q large paper covered drum, slowly revolving by clockwork, upon which is q c0ntin- lous record of the amount of bending in the specimen under test Is record rd. This bending, or dcilectlon, IS shown on the drum by pencil mark, the pencil being connected to the cen ter of the beam by system of levers so arranged as to considerably null tlplv the actual bending of the beam before 1t is recorded on the drum. h. formation as to the effect of loads ap- piled to wooden beams for long per Iods of time is not at present very definite and 1t is expected that the results of the experiments now ill progrpss at New Haven will furnish much valuable information which will he of great benefit to the lum- Der industry.

THE DROUGHT OF 1876. Account of One That Was Worse
 Than Recent One,

While the drought this summer was perhaps the worst that ever the oldest settler remembers. yet 1t is said that there was one in 1876, which has never been beaten. Barbour's "IIist0Ircal RecOllections' gives the following account of that long, dry season. It IS recalled by the Seymour correspondent of the AnsOnia Senti- mel and is az follows:
 In the summer of 1876 there was a great drought fin New England. which was extremely severe at Mo began. and in the neighbOring coun- try. In August the corn dried up; the fruit and the leaves fell off as m Autumn. and in some trees appeared Co be dead. The Indians came from Mohegan to Norwich. and lamented that they had no rain and that their unwwuws could get none in their way of worship. They desired Mir Fitch to seek God for rain. He appointed a fast day for that purpose. The day proved clear. but at sunset. at the close of the service, some clouds arose.
 Next day was cloudy. Uncas went in the house of Mir Fitch with many Indians and lamented the great want of rain. IT God shall send you rain will you contribute it to yOur pow VOWS He answered no: for we have done our utmost. hut all In vain. If y0u will declare it before all these Indians. said the minister. rou shall sec what God will do for us: remarkinE at the same time their repeated and unfailing recep- ton of rain iu answer to prayer and fasting Unczs then made a gTpat speech t0 the Indians e0nfessing that if God shouId then send rain.

BUILDING WORLDS
LARGEST STACK
VIII Be Eighth Wonder Of the
World.

SEATTLE. Sept. "a CSpeciaD
Ten thousand tons of concrete are
being used in the foundation for the
5O6-foot smokestack in course Of con
struction by the Boston and Montana
Mining Company at Indian Point, just
across the river from Great Falls,
Mont. When completed, the stack
viii be the largest in the world, hav-
ing a diameter Of fifty feet inside at
the top.
Under charge Of Chief Engineer
SOFTEN of the Boston and Montana
Company, in this city, the work Of
making the foundation has been start
ed, and the great concreate mixer is
pouring $50 tons Of the mixed article
daily into the great hole which marks
the foundation Of the great stack.
Although the foundation lies in
sight of the city and within a few
minutes of the street car line, but
few persons have seen the starter for
the big stack or realize its proper
tons
One Of the necessities for the build
ing of the big stack was the building
of a railroad to the top of the hill for
the bringing up of supplies, which
was not completed until a few weeks
since. The new road, with its branch
es, is about four miles in length
The stack will be the highest struc-
ture of similar kind in the world, ex-
cept the Eiffel tower in Paris and the
Washington monument in the nations
capital, being about forty-nine feet
lower than the latter In the scaffold-
ing necessary to building there will
be 100000 feet of lumber. When com
pleted it viii be the eighth wonder of
the world, and already is attracting
the attention of scientific men through
out the country.
