MONDAY. July s,

Although the volume OF dealings in stocks
to-day reached ssi 900 shares. a somewhat
larger quantity than the recent daily aver
age, the fluctuations in prices, even though
these we're rapid and irregular and were
within what could not be described as a
narrow range, seemed to be regarded
in the financial district with as great list
l~essness as II thew did not represent any
transactions whatever. Public interest in
the stock market continued at a low ebb
and remained utterly uninspired by the
churning OF prices that was taking place
and has lately been In evidence. Quota
tons for many leading stocks were at the
outset somewhat higher than they closed
on Saturday and the market held with
comparative steadiness during the first
hour OF business, although the high prices
'saohsc in the first few minutes Of trading
were not again touched, and thereafter a
re~actionary tendency began to make itself
felt n continued with increasing force
throughout the day so that final quotations
of stocks we're in almost all cases at con-
siderable declines. No doubt as many
genuine purchases Of stocbs by outsiders
have been induced in the last fortnight in
the Amalgamated Copper shares and in
those OF other large copper mining CON-
panies as in any other quarter because OF
the peculiarly strong reasons that may be
urged for advances there. 1t is doubtful

To-day's security market was admittedly
ripe for a reaction in view OF the prolonged

only three business days in the period

who attributed to-day's fall to the

euyinq Cooked Food.

In France 1t is q common thing for
the wife to be out at work us well as
the husband. From this circumstance,
no doubt. ltave developed the facilities
that country affords for obtaining
ready cooked food outside the home.
Whole meals can be purchased outside,
and they are very good meals too. A
whole fowl or half one or a smaller
portion can be bought hot or cold from
the rotissier. Soups and salads, can be
bought in the same way. and in shops
where eggs are sold there is always
basket OF red eggs as well as white
ones, the red color being used to indi-
cate that the eggs are cooked. All
these things are sold at prices within
the reach of ALL and in many homes
scarcely any attempt IS made TO do
cooking.

Bass Are Real Cute.

1t is related for a fact that the reason
bass jump-and it is common practice
of the fish-is because they wish to ac-
quire grace and strength in testing
their ability against that of fishermen.
Several men who say they know
what they are talking about point out
that bass do most OF their jumping
during the spring and are especially
active Just before the open season be
gins.
At this time they may be seen doing
long distance jumps, somersaults and
side stepping.
One bass expert goes so far as to say
that he spent an entire afternoon
watching three pound bass dragging
a long willow sapling through the
water and acting as IL 1t were caught
on hook.
LeapIng into the air, 1T would turn
in half circle as II to disgorge the
barb, and then IT would swim back
ward in an endeavor to snap the
branch.

lmprovina Nature.

To paint the lily; to gid refined
gold" when taken In literal sense,
seem processes too absurd for serious
elaboration. Flowers of unnatural
hues, however, bloom in florists win
dows, and the color green as applied
to the carnation Is no longer confined
to the title OF book. But the Persians
do even worse things in the name of
beauty. They dress up their flowers.
according to Mr.. Wills in '"rhe Land
of Lion and Sun"
Persia is not land OF flowers. Tin
Mas, convolvulus. asters, balsams. wall
flowers, chrysanthemums, marigolds
and roses are the principal blooms OF
the country.
The Persians. not content with the
plain flower, cut rings of colored pa
per, cloth or velvet and ornament the
bloom, placing the circles of divers
ihues between the first and second rows
OF petals.
The effect is strange. One, at first
glance, supposes he sees a bouquet OF
curious and bizarre flowers Of entirely
new varieties.

WORDS
or Wisdom From the Fairmont
Times Regarding the Clarks-
burg Baseball Team.

The Clarksburg team should now
take brace and get into the game.
It was never a lack of capable mater
ia1 that has caused the club to be
hugging around the bottom Of the
ladder. but the absence of heady,
cool manager who could get the best
they could do from the men. with
Bull" Smith hold of the reins at
home and Jimmy Ganiear manager
abroad the team should make won
derful strides as the season wanes.
There is not town on the circuit

burg contracts and it now appears
that they have all that q necessary
for winning baseball. = Fairmont

FINE SPIDER THREADS.
Cultivated Especially For the Use Of
Astronomers.

Cultivated Especially For the Use Of
Astronomers.
The cultivation of certain species of
spiders solely for the fine threads
which they weave for scientific uses
has an important bearing upon astron-
omy.
No substitute for the spiders thread
has yet been found for bisectthg the
screw of the micrometer used for de-
termining the positions and motions of
the stars. Not only because of the re-
markable fineness of the threads are
they valuable. but because of their
durable qualities.
The threads of certain spiders raised
for astronomical purposes Withstand
changes in temperatures, so that often
in measuring sun spots they are unin-
jured when the heat is so great that
the lenses of the micrometer eyepiece
are cracked.
These spider lines are only one-fifth
to one-seventh of a thonsandth of an
inch in diameter. compared with which
the threads of the silkworm are large
and clumsy.
Each line is made up OF several thou
sands of microscopic streams of fluid.
Under the most powerful magnifytng
glass they appear true and round.
The work of placing these lines In
the micrometer requires the delicate
touch of experts. who operate with the
aid OF microscopes which magnify the
line a thousand times. The lines are
placed parallel with each other and
two cne-thousandths of an inch apart.

The most eminent medical scien-

that the generally accepted limitation
of human life is many years below
the attainment possible with the ad-
vanced knowledge of which the race
is now possessed. The critical per-
iod, that determines its duration,
seems to be between so and so; the

decade cannot be too strongly urged;
