RUST THAT FARMERS FEAR.
Same the World Round Where
Wheat Is Grown.

From the Chicago Tribune
Rust still corrupteth the American &C.
real crop, and that to an annual damage
exceeding S5OO,OOOOOO. The Department
OF Agriculture has put on record the
amazing statement that the injury to
wheat and oats from rust probably ex-
ceeds that caused by any other fungus or
insect pest and In some localities is
greater than that caused by all other en-
emies of the crops combined.
The farmer in some season or other in
looking over his field during early sum-
mer cannot help noting that the fresh
green appearance of the wheat crop is
changing in color from day to day. be-
coming gradually quite yellow. On exam
lining closely one Of the withered leaves
the observant cultivator can detect orange
yellow spots or lines. and with the aid Of
a low power lens also can see that the
epidermal tissue of the leaf has been rup-
tured by the emission of countless num-
bers of orange yellow seeds or spores.
The spots and lines upon the leaves
multiply rapidly. and when the leaves
are shaken by the wind the spores are
set free and fall upon the other leaves,
and thus the disease is spread. Wherever
wheat is grown this destructive pest is
known and dreaded.
In appearance the disease is the same
wherever the crop attacked is grown-Eu-
rope America, Australia-pale yellow
during springtime and summer. deepen
ing later in the season to dark brown
or black on the green leaves not only OF
the cereal crops. but OF many surround
ing wild grasses. In the early stages of
rust fungal spores or seeds are called
owing to the rusty or burnt appearance of
tina leaves.

NEW YORK. August 1.-THE stock
market this morning opened for the most
part at fractional declines from yester-
days closing levels. and after enjoying
4 slight rally under the leadership of
southern Pacific it broke badly under
u resumption of very heavy selling of
the same character that marked yester-
days dealings.
There was no news whatever in con-
nection' with the various shifts in the
course of the market, and discussion was
again mainly occupied with conjectures
as to the identity of the heaviest sellers
of stocks yesterday and this morning.
Pressure today was chiefly expressed
in United States Steel common, Amalga-
mated Copper and American Smelling.
The declines in the railroad list were in
few cases extensive. Rock Island and
Missouri Pacific were relatively firm.
Americans Irregular in London.
American stocks were quoted at ir-
regular changes in the London market
as compared with New York's closing
prices of yesterday, and operations
here by the arbitrage houses were con-
Quoted on both sides of the account.
Little interest was expressed in the
probable outlook for the weekly bank
statement. The regular weekly reports
of the mercantile agencies upon the
mixed exhibits. The volume of business
in the stock market fell well below
that transacted during the same time
yesterday.

Snake Dined on SQUAD.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
A blacksnake fully six feet long and
nearly two inches in diameter which had
been capturing young pigeons on the
rocks just above the Birmingham station
of the Panhandle railroad has attracted
much attention.
Employees at the station and watch
men at the mouth Of the Mount Washing
ton street car tunnel have seen the ser
pent several times. but none has been
bold enough to attempt to capture 1t.
More than Il score Of pigeons have nests
on the rocks and the snake is said to
have gone down the hillside FROM the
grass and shrubbery to secure frequent
meal of the squads.
Capt C. f. Kemp of the police force OF
the Panhandle railroad was at the station
this morning. The snake was perched on
a rock in full view. Capt. Kemp fired at
the serpent with his revolver. The snake
fell from the rock and rolled down the
hillside to the rocks above the tunnel.
Four or five men climbed the rocks, but
owing to the difficult scaling the snake
could not be secured.

FISHERMAN ACTIVE AT SO.
Capt. Bracket Won Fame as the De.
slgner Of the Dory.

The S~wampscott has again come in
to to the limelight because of the fact
that the design has been favored by
the United States navy to replace
some of the present designs in small
boats, says the Boston Post.
Capt. Bracket, the original designer
OF the dory, Is still hale and hearty,
though he Is s s years old, and he de-
votes almost as much attention to fish
ing as ever.
In fair weather he usually leads the
fleet of shore fishers who put off from
Kings beach every morning. He still
retains his skill and among the young
er fishermen there is always a pleas
ant rivalry to see who car get as many
fish as Capt. Bracket.
Fffty-six years ago Capt. Bracket,
then a young man of SO. had built from
his own designs the dory which has
since made Swampscott famous.
The dory then in use was the LAP
streak" a boat floating low, a hard
boat to row, a slow sailer and with a
strong inclination to turn turtle
"iIhout IluS. TGeuutHJ CdDSlLllS
and the slowness in getting home after
having a good catch led to his desire
for a safe and better sailing dory.
Always on the lookout for a dory
built on new lines, he came across one
down on the cape and from 1t he got
his ideas.
After drawing his plans he met with
an unexpected dificulty-he found no
n cared to build such a freak
craft, but finally James Knowlton said
