RICHEST IN WORLD
Wall Street Has History
Equaled by but Few.
SOMETHING ABOUT ITS MORALS
It's Wealth and Business, Its Daily
Population, and the Character OF
IL one of the Most Interesting
Places 10 study on Continent.

Wall street is one of the shortest
streets in the city. although it is great
in historical events having. chief Of
all, been the scene of the first Inaugural
| tion of Washington. But although short.
| it is the richest street IN America and
perhaps in the world, while IL gives its
name to the financial district which con-
stitutes one Of the four mightiest inter-
national money markets. says the Wall
Street Journal.
The assessed valuation OF the real es-
tate on Wall street. from Broadway to
the East River. amounts 10 S55. .g95. .0O0
while the total assessed valuation OF the
real estate in the financial district in
cluding Wall street, amounts TO more
than S2O0OOOOOO. This latter total is
larger than the assessed valuation of the
real estate OF fourteen different States.
| 1t is greater than the assessed valuation
OF the real estate in all but twelve cities
Of the United States.
Wealth L. Enormous.
This takes no account Of the corporate
wealth represented in the Wall street
district. This IS so great as to be beyond
computation. OF the $4,000 100000 OF Sc
curites in the United States. $4,000. .OOO 900
are admitted to dealings on the New York
stock Exchange. and In 1907 the number
Of shares dealt In on the exchange
amounted to 1876 i3S. s24. having a value OF
S4,75IS02lS9, while in thirty-two years
the total value OF the shares dealt in on
N~h
double the present actual wealth OF the
United States. The financial headquar-
ters Of most of the companies whose Sc
curities are represented on the New York
Stock Exchange are located In buildings
in the Wall street district.
Seventy per cent OF the bank cIearings
Of the United States pass through the
New York Clearing House located in this
district Fully It per cent OF the total
receipts Of the commercial banking in
stituEons 81 the United States are in
the Wall street district. The subtreasury
and the ASSAY office being in Wall street
and most Of the important banks OF the
country the largest proportion Of the
actual money Of the country Is in this
district
The custom house belongs 10 The Wall
street district and 45 per cent Of the
total commerce Of the United States and
60 per cent Of the total imports Of the
United States pass through this custom
house
More business Is transacted IN Wall
street In a single day than In any other
part Of the Western hemisphere. But this
business is done almost exclusively in
paper representatives OF property and
products. II Is none the less. and per
haps all the more Important on that ac-
count. Wall street Is tho clearing house
of the country; the place where the move
ment Of products and securities from
producers 20 consumers is carried on and
the promotions Of the continent are
financed.

ANCIENT WEATHER PROPHETS
Bible and Other Writings of Old
show study OF MeteOrOIOgy.

1ibic anu OiutF WRITINGS or Olu
show study of MeteOrOIOgy.
Meteorology as a science Is in lis in
fancy. but as a branch of knowledge il
IS perhaps as old as mankind The be-
ginnings OF meteorology are to be found
at the origin OF civilization, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
It would be error to imagine that the
rich weather lore found in the Bible,
! especially in the book of job. and in
the poems of Homer and Heslod orig
mated in Palestine or Greece. On the
contrary the familiarity Of the people
with the sayings and rules concerning
the weather revealed by these writings
show clearly that they must be consid-
cred as primeval stock of the culture
Of that time
There is reason TO believe that the
origin OF much of modern weather lore
can be traced TO it's Indo-Germanic
source The Greeks as far back as the
NTH century h. G. We're the first to
make regular meteorological observa-
tiOns some results OF which still are pre-
served. Their great capacity for pure
science induced them to PROFOUND me-
teorological theories. At this time they
used wind vanes and in the first CEN
tury B. c. they built the Tower of the
Wind AT Athens.
The first quantItative Observations
that is the measurement Of rain-were
made in the first century A. ID. These
were made In Palestine and their results
are preserved IN the Mshnah Meteor
ology made but little progress among
the Romans. The barbarous state of Eu-
rope AFTER the fall OF the Western En-
pire was not adapted TO the further

orations on the atmosphere and the phe-
nomena. The revival Of experimental
science in the thirteenth century led to
the development of regular meteorologi-
cal observations In the fourteenth CEN
tury. II was only during the latter part
Of the nineteenth century that meteorol-
ogy became partially an exact science.

There is no alternative except to
raise the rates. The credit Of the

way to enhance credit is to increase
rates. The manufacturers who decry
advance rates, fail to realize that
without an improved credit the roads
will be unable to expend the hun
dreds Of millions which hitherto have
made prosperity possible to them
selves and their employees. Wages
should not be cut. Efficient labor is
