oAszs OF cHlLg's DESERT.
They Play a Great Part in Develop.
 ment of Nitrate Beds.


 Northern Chile, which is so largely mountain or desert, Is generally re. gaIded as a forbidding wilderness, but here may be found number of oases, the most conspicuous of which are Plea and Matilla.
 It has been found that in various parts of the great Ataeama desert the earth underneath the surface layer of sand or salt is sufficiently moist to grow crops, capillary attraction spread ing the water through the soil.
 The rainless Atacama desert is the scene of the greatest industry of its kind in the world, yielding enormous quantities of nitraies used to enrich the fields of Europe and the United States.
 The oases play a very important eco nomic'r in the industries of the re. zion, supplying vegetables and food siuifs for the support of the work men, alfalfa for the cattle and yari. ous fruits, and also serving as tim. Der producers for the nitrate works. which require much fuel
 There is no part of the world where agriculture is more intenslvely car ried on than in these green spots in the Atacama desert. Herald

Moderate improvement in Busi-
ness Is Constantly Noted.
Rate of Progress Varies in Diff
ferent Localities.
BANKERS COMPLAIN.
The People Are Not Borrowing
Enough Money for Them.
ClearingsC Considerably in Excess
of the Previous Week.

New York, April 4-Dun's Review Of
Trade says:
While the volume of business is still
much below normal, moderate improve
ment is constantly noted, although the
rate of progress is very different in the
leading centers of trade. Aside from
the idleness at bituminous coal mines,
which is not expected to be prolonged,
April did not bring any serious labor
disputes, and many wage earners were
enabled to resume work by accepting
small reductions in pay.
Sales of pig iron have been made at
lower figures than at any time since
the decline began although regular
quotations are nominally unchanged.
Hides maintain the recent improve
ment in activity and prices while some
descriptions have made further gains
Bradstreet's says:
Trade is quiet the country over, in
dustry is still curtailed, a stoppage of
work by coal miners swells the num-
beT of idle workmen, collections sare
slow, and although money is easy
bankers complain that borrowing de-
mand is light, this latter being a re-

The movement of crops to market mas

ened well last week, has not held the
gain throughout the week, owing to
the cold wave visitation and the wide
spread effect of the coal miners stop
page of work in the central west. job
bing trade the country over is quiet,
filling in orders being of rather light
volume, while fall trade is still back
ward and slow to expand. At the east
there is feeling among wholesalers
that recent reductions in many lines
of cotton goods have brought values
down to a reasonable working basis,
and there is more doing in print cloths
at the further price concessions. Ex-
port trade does not develop as well as
expected, and the reports of a large
order for cotton goods for China are
not confirmed.
Iron and steel are also reported
rather less active for export, owing
to quiet in industry abroad. Other
lines of manufacturing industry show
little change.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending April number
425 against 286 last week, 137 In the

ON MORAL GROUNDS.
Couple Asks for Divorce in Order to
Marry Each Other Again

Chicago. April 4.-Although their
short welded life has been lone fair
dream of bliss" Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
L. Boud will ask Judge Carpenter to-
day to annu1 their marriage, which
took place on March IL, because Mrs.
Boud was divorced less than a year
ago. In June another ceremony will
be performed. 1t is said to be the
first instance of this kind under the
new law.
1t was Judge Carpenters decision a
week ago that led the couple to ask
for the annulment. At that time the
court handed down an opinion in which
he declared that divorced persons re-
marrying within a year lived together
illegally. Moral grounds" is the one
reason advanced by Mrs. Roud in her
appeal.
Mrs. Boud was the wife of r. O.
Kruger, Chicago manager for a varnish
company, until last June. She secured
decree then on the charge of cruelty.
About the middle of February Mrs.
Boud answered an advertisement in
serted by Mr.. Boud asking for an as
sistant. 1t was less than a month af-
terward when they journeyed to Crown
Point, Ind. where they were married
by Justice Nicholson.

New York, April 4.-when seven
Alaskan dogs drawing an Alaskan
sledge on wheels trotted into City Hall
park late yesterday, their driver, Ell
A. Smith, completed probably the

Smith Is a miner and was formerly
government mail driver in Alaska.
When he stopped in to visit Mayor
Mcclellan, he had completed. he said,
a trip entirely by land not finishing it
in less than month less than two
and a half years. Smiths regularity
in making his mail trips through the
wilds and SHOWS of Alaska with dogs
as motive power, resulted finally in a
wager that he could not make a trip
with his outfit to New York from
Nome in two and one-half years.

a month. He received from the
mayor an autograph letter certifying
his arrival in New York.
