The Mystery of This Wonderful Force
In Nature.

When plants are grown in recepta.
cles fastened to the rim of rapidly
revolving wheel, the shoots and leaves
grow toward the center and the roots
This is remarkable as showing the in
fuence of centrifugal motion upon
growth.
But the earth, any point in whose
surface at the equator passes through
fifteen miles in one minute, has cen
that it is almost inconceivable. Why,
then, reasoning on the basis of this
wheel experiment, do not trees and
plants grow in the directions they are
urged by this centrifugal force-name-
ly, with leaves and boughs toward the
earth's center and roots pointing to the
sky?
The answer is because there is a
force called gravitation which over
powers the enormous centrifugal force
and practically reverses it. Whether
this overmastering force which we call

no one has yet been able to discover.
There can be no doubt that it is the
greatest force we know of.
To unveil the mystery of it would be
to become masters Of power whose
possibilities dazzle the human mind.

Power of Habit,

The power of habit was strikingly
illustrated not long ago in a shirt
waist factory. One woman who had
done nothing but sew up the seams Of
sleeves for four years was taken off
that particular job and was asked to
run up seams in the body of the
waists. She complained that the
change made her so nervous that she
could not work
But what is the difference" asked
the foreman. "There is nothing but a
straight seam here, just the same as
you have been used to-"
81 know" replied the woman with
true feminine logic, "but it isn't
sleeves"
And it did indeed prove to be fact
that owing to her four years of steady
work on sleeves it took her fully that
many weeks to overcome her nervous
ness sufficiently to run the machine at
her accustomed speed when sewing an
other part of the waist.-Exchange

Columbus. Ga, July 20.-(Special )-That the market for American manufactured products is the wide, wide world, is now almost a trusm, but the fact Is some times illustrated in striking and rather surprising manner, when the case of the industrial output of a single city is studied. Of course, everybody knows that American electrical machinery, type writers, sewing machines, harvesting ma chinery and numerous manufactured steel products are the standard for the civilized worIl but the full scope of the ex- port of manufactures from the United States is appreciated by few.
 This is illustrated in an interesting man. ner by the fact that things made in Columbus, one of the smaller American cities are now sold around the globe. Columbus is a typical southern indus trial city with 10000 inhabitants at pres ent but with the confident hope that the develop Iment of 100000 horsepower along the Chattahoochee river at this point into electrical energy for manufacturers will result in doubling that population within the next decade. While much smaller in population, and with an output of man. ufactured articles much less than the big industrial centers of tke north and east, the case of Columbus yet serves to emphasize the fact that the sales of American manufactures is not limited to any hemisphere or grand division or the earths surface.
 The manufacture of cotton and woolen goods is the greatest single industry in Columbus and the city's cotton fabrics are sold in the West Indies, South Amer ica and the isles of the Pacific, while its white goods enjoy constant sale in Asia Minor and China. Not long ago a train stood before one of the Columbus mills, loaded with cotton goods to be carried to New York, and thence trans ported across the waters to South Amer ica.

 An interview from President Wood of the Bowery Savings bank. the largest savings institution in the United States, has attracted considerable attention. MT Wood believes that the country Is on the top wave of prosperity and that we are in for a long period of contraction. He says frankly that the banks of Wall street are preparing for hard times by storing cash away in their vaults; locking 1t up, in fact. He mentions specific instances where bankers have come to him for round lots of cash in big bills, avowedly for the purpose of convenient storage against that rainy day" when dollars look as big as cart wheels and are hard to get He says that when the squeeze comes the working men, and especially unskilled labor, will suffer first and suffer hardest He couples this opinion with the further statement that labor Is being very largely overpaid and that those who will feel most reversely the effects of business depression will be themselves to blame, there being no limit to the exactions and tyrannies imposed on employers.
 Advices from the middle west and west are to the effect that interior banks are loaning their money up closer than at any time in months. Local use Is found for everything In sight and there is full employment for funds without sending them to reserve centers. That Is what Is keeping New York and other large com munities up to the anxiety lines. When the real demand for money for crop nov ing purposes begins to be felt In New York the balances to the credit of the west and south Is likely to be smaller than us- ual This suggests the possibility of strin- gency here beginning earlier than usual. This outlook is giving stock market stu dents uneasiness. It justifies in part the assumption that any intervening bull

movements will be manipulative and de- signed to let the big people out of their securities as much as possible.
 The open break in the price of copper metal does not seem to have attracted buyers as hoped for A hand to mouth policy Is being pursued now just as 1t was before the recudtion and the 22-cent quotation Is apparently as hollow as the 25-eent one was. The combination be- tween the big producers and their selling companies is far from being alright. Be- sides the number and output of the in- dependents grows day by day. Some of the very large consumers of copper-those who use 2,OOo 900 pounds Q month and up ward-have been more or less at the mercy of the trust. They had to have the metal in large amounts and could never be sure of getting 1t except through the recognized trust agencies. The middle weight and little people were free to buy anywhere and were really able to get what they wanted at very much cut prices The same thing is going on at the present writing and some of the big fel- lows are getting very sore. Ordinarily the large buyer has an advantage over the little fellow.
 In this case the conditions seem to be reversed; 1t is the little fellow who has the bulge on his nelghbor. There are well verified reports of sales of copper for Oc- tober delivery as low as 2oIe, and buyers are by no means eager to close at these figures. Tn view of this fact and of grow ing evidences that the combination is in danger of rupture operators in copper sharaes view with suspicion the bullish tips which are being sent out through Standard Oil channels-Standard oil being in control of Amalgamated and other ac- tive stocks The rank and file of traders hold to the theory that whenever MT.

Any mark which the producers might put on the commodities would make not the slightest difference in the forming of the conclu- sions which are registered on the tape. The question of value is a thing that must always be settled in the market places.

out entirely. Neither Mir. Rogers or any of his company are philanthropsts and If copper stocks were going to boom as they prophecy they would not be looking TOT society. They would be accomplishing ev- erything in sight and keeping mighty quiet about 1t. Hence tho conclusion IS reached that they must have something to sell or they would not be trying to get the public in as buyers.
 The idea of abolishng the dollar mark on certificates of stock and letting them represent participating units in owner ship is arousing only hot weather .n- terest. although it's advocates are work ing themselves into precipitation. The splitting up of property in the manner suggested is hardly likely to take practi- cal form. Besides 1t is of very much less value than it's friends try to make out. The dollar mark on the certificate Is really of slight influence In making d market price for the paper. The desig nation does not add or take away from the value, that being established when the buyer and seller meet on common ground and do business.
 James J. Hill put the idea into practice when he manufactured and distributed among the stockholders of the great Northern railroad steel trust. He placed no dollar mark on these certificates, leav- ing the question of value to be deter mined in the open market where the goods could be bought and sold. The pub lie has already marked down the original appraisement from 800 per certificate to around about 50. At the present writing there is no better gauge of stock cer- tificate value than Is found in the daily record of quotations on the New York stock exchange These quotations repre- sent the composite judgment of world full of buyers and sellers. The price at which a stock Is bought and sold is the meeting point between a multitude of buy CTS and a multitude of sellers gathered in a great public market place. Similarly

THE BEST BUSINESS INDEX
BY w. a. NICHOLAS.

New York. July 20.-Wall street has its ear close to the ground and Is trying the best 1t knows how to as- certain what the intelligent masses really think of MT. Roosevelt and his policies. It Is tapping every source of information and is struggling to get at the bottom facts. What it wants are the realities and when these are at hand it exercises the liberty of making up It's own verdict as to the value of these realities and their relationship to the market. Every bit of news that comes into Wall street Is weighed with the one consideration in mind-"what bearing has this on prices?" The conclusion reached finds immediate answer in the tape. which Is after all the best index of business judgement to be found anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.
 At this juncture the clippings bu- reaus are furnishing a great deal of enlightenment. They are sending daily into Wall street thousands of packages of clippings from newspapers through out the country on MT. Roosevelt and his policies. The readers detect for the first time in five years a willing freedom to criticise the President or to take open stand against him. Here tofore unfriendly comment has been confined to very few newspapers. Of late there has been going on a steady change in this respect and today there are hundreds of papers which will print matter on this sacred subject which six months ago would have found no place within the column rules. It Is no longer regarded as traitorous to say things in criticism of the President. The extraordinary kindly personality of MT. Mckinley surrounded the White House with dignity and halo wbich protected the occupant from unfriendly assault and made 1t seem almost brutal to say anything about the incumb ent savor- ing in the slightest degree of dsre- spect or hostility. MT. Roosevelt in- herited this atmosphere and it has been a great protection to him. It is only recently that the protecting en- easement has been penetrated by the spear thrusts of hostile criticism and open unfriendliness. MT. Rooseyelt's enemies say he has abused the in- herited dignity attached to the of flee, and that he is only just beginning to feel the reaction and realize its significance. Wall street sees in the new development of revived tendency toward independent thought and inde- pendence of action among the great masses of intelligent voters Blind worship to the Strenuous One Is giving. way to the diversity of views as to the wisdom of many of his actions and policies
