REAL ACTION
YET TO CONE.
Market Transactions are
Still Confined to Pro-
fessiOnal operations

NEW YORK, March 3=The slen-
der aggregate of business in stocks
today was mostly completed during
the first hours session of the stock
exchange. The professional opera
tors thought they saw an opportunity
of extending the decline which was
in progress when the market left of
Monday, availing themselves of
the complexion of reports of condi-
lions from various branches of bust
ness. The event disproyed the as
sumption and again disclosed the in
significant proportions of the mar
ket. When operators short of stocks
attempted to cover on what they
conceived to be unfavorable deyel-
opments, they found no offerings
coming out. Their buying opera
lions, consequently, advanced prices
When the announcement was made
that the dividend on American Smelt-
ing had been cut from an per cent
to per cent basis. that stock rail-
lied from its early depression to
level over Saturdays price, tending
to show the agility of practiced trad
ers In anticipating the event
The resumption of operations in
the Montana mining camp was a fac
tor of positive strength and came as
confirmation of assertions last week
regarding which there was more or
less skepticism. The response Of
stocks affected was, however, moder-
ate. This was partly due to the mod
flying effect on sentiment of the fall
in the price of copper again today,

gion was avowedly based on the ex-
pectation of future renewal of de-
mand for the metal. rather than on
any actual absorptive power of the
present demand.
Railroad traffic officials, however,
spoke in less hopeful strain over flu
tnre indications for business than
has been the rule with them, even
through the worst of the depression.
Railroad earnings reported showed
the heavy inroads resulting from de-
pressions. The gross decreases of
Pennsylvania lines directly operat-
ed, of over S2,000,000 for January,
was held down to a decrease of
$666,S00 in the net Even the
Southern railway system. considered
to be ut disadvantage in its oppor-
tunities for retrenchment. shows a
net decrease for January of only
s230,534, where the decline In gross
earnings ran to S669.024. This
tendency was regarded as a favorable
augury for security holders.
Reports OF drastic measures of
curtailment of expenses on the Gould
system. however did not prevent evil
dence of weakness in some of that
group The report that the railroads
generally had agreed with the inter
state commerce commission to con-
form without further delay to the re-
quirements of the nine-hour law for
the telegraphers was received with
interest in the same connection. The

Some of US have become skepticaI

February reconnaissance of weather
conditions but almost everybody
thinks the birds know when winter
is coming and spring is here.
II happens, how yer. that the
birds sometimes make mistakes, as
is suggested by Professor LANCE, Of
St Paul
The instinct Of birds, he says,
about the weather is unerring, as
was demonstrated last spring, when
myriads of migrating warblers were
caught here in the northwest by a
belated and protraeted period of cold
weather. The result was general
failure in the insect food and hun
dreds, perhaps millions, Of birds
starved to death.
The tragedies of wild life seem to
arouse larger interest and deeper
sympathy in the popular heart than
formerly, due in some measure, no
doubt, to the greater interest aroused
in animal life by the introduction of
nature study in the pubic schools.
certainly the birds have more friends
among the rising generation than
they had among the departing One
of the net results of the Introduction
of so-ealled "fads" in the public

no complaint is the very strikingly
changed attitude of the predatory
boy toward birds and. indeed, all
forms of wild animal life. Whereas
in former years the birds and the
small animals OF the forest ami field
were regarded by him as his legiti-
mate prey, it has become bad form,
SO to speak, in boy circles in most
cities to kill or to annoy in any way
these forms of animal life.

How Moving pictures Originated.

The beginning of moving pictures
was In this wise: Sir John Herschel
after dinner in 1896 acked his friend
Charles Babbage, how he would show
both sides of shilling at once Bah
bage replied by taking shilling from
his pocket and holding 1t to a mirror,
This did not satisfy Sir John, who
set the shilling spinning upon the
dinner table, at the same time point
ing out that IL the eye is placed on a
level with the rotating coin both sides
can be seen at once. Babbage was so
struck by the experiment that the
next day he described II to friend,
DR.. Fitton, who Immediately made a
working model. On one side OF a disk
was drawn a bird. on the other side
an empty bird cage; when the card
was revolved on a silk thread the
bird appeared to be in the cage. This
model showed the persistence of Wis
ion upon which all moving pictures de
pend for their effect The eye re-
ta,ns the image OF the object seen
for a fraction of a second after the
object has been removed. This
model was called the thaumotrope.
