The Life Saving Service.

The first stations of life saving
service in this country were establish
ed by the Massachusetts Humane soci-
ETY. at Lowell island and Cohasset. All
efforts for saving life and property in
cases Of shipwreck were made by this
society till 1887, when the president of
the United States was authorized to
employ ships to cruise along the shores
and render assistance to distressed
navigators. In 1913 congress passed a
law creating few life saving stations
between Sandy Hook and Little Egg
harbor, New Jersey. From this has
grown the splendid system which now
takes in all the coasts of the country.

EBONY WOOD.

ier Than Water
Ebony was known and highly es-
teemed by the anclents as an article of
luxury and was used by them for Il
variety of purposes.
In InCia il is said that it was en-
ployed h. kings for sceptcrs and also
Tor images. On account of its sup
posed antagonism 10 poisons it was
used largely for drinking cups.
The name ebony is given to the wood
of several varieties OF trees All kinds
of ebony are distinguished for their
great density and dark color. The
wood in all varieties i; heavier than
water. The heaviest varieties are the
darkest The other grades require a
considerable amount Cf staining TO
make them black.
Ebony is OF Il uniform color through
out and will not show any deteriora-
ton eveG from long continued use.
There are three varieties of ebony
well known in commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast of Africa is the
darkest. The Madagascar ebony is the
densest. The Macassar ebony furnish
es the largest pieces. 1t is sold by
weight.
limitations of ebony can always be
distinguished by their lighter weight,
and the cheaper limitations can be de-
tected by merely scratching the sur
face.

For many years H. o. Havemeyer dom mated sugar in the most high handed manner and refused to give stock holders the faintest 'look-in as to it's management or it's physical condition. From his viewpoint it was sufficient for stockholders to get their dividends and to annually adopt a resolution of confidence. He attended to the rest. The transfer books show nearly 10000 stockholders, about evenly divided be- tween the common and preferred. This , shows an average distribution of less than 90 shares among the two classes of ownership.
 Of the $90,O0O,000 capitalization, MT. Havemeyer held al his death less than 200 shares of the par value of $20 900, although popularly supposed to hold together with his associates an actual majority. This exhibit is about as bad as that made by the estate of the late Roswell P. Flower, who died with only five shares of B. R. T., whose destiny he had dictated for years. MT. Havemeyer had run the sugar trust for ten or 15 years as a blind pool" He was more autocratic in it's management than ever John D. Rockefeller was in Standard oil, or H. H. Rogers in Amalgamated. The latter two corporations, by the way, are practically the last survivors
 
 glme. It is foreordained that the 'lid" is to be lifted from the sugar trust, un- less an heir shall be found big enough to fill Henry Havemeyer's shoes. Claus Spreckles may be that man, but it is exceedingly doubtful.
 His disinterestedness in attacking the trust is open to speculation. As the largest individual stockholder "of recordr (750O shares, or thereabouts) h ic n ba value of his certificates by an expose of the seeming worthessness of a large part of the company's assets, and by incidentally revealing that MT. Have meyers interest in the trust was in his control of subsidiary companies-much as the Vanderbilts own personally vital links in New York Central, and the Goulds in their system of roads. That Mir. Spreckles aims to control sugar goes witho saying. The effect of his present campaign is to bear the stock. Previous to his announcement of attack somebody had heavily shorted the stock. The identity of the raider, or raiders, is not yet disclosed, but the finger of suspicion points strongly to- ward an eminent sugar refiner and mill lionaire more or less associated with the history of San Francisco.-N.

 Speculation in the various Chicago Great Western issues was long since abandoned on the stock exchange, as nobody was allowed to make a dollar out of them except the inside clique.
