AN ELEVATED CHRISTOPHER
How 1t Came to Be Placed on the
Royal Exchange in London.

How 1t Came to Be Placed on the
Royal Exchange in London.
The Royal exchange in London is
still being decorated with paintings
by leading artists depicting the great
events that have brought about the
supremacy of England through the
medium of this historic building.
Yet the many thousands who visit
the Royal exchange daily have very
little idea, says the Strand, that this
pile owes it's origin to curious
cause, to nothing else than the chirp-
ing of a grasshopper.
The chirp of this insect attracted
the attention of little boy to baby,
the son of a poor woman-so poor
that she could not support the child,
and therefore had left him to perish
alone in a large field near her howell.
The little boy took the child home,
and it was brought up and eventually
blossomed into no less person than
Sir Thomas Gresham, who built the
Royal exchange.
The prosperosu merchant, to hand
down to posterity the incident which
saved his life, took the grasshopper
for his crest, and that is the reason
why that insect Is placed, as every
one can see, over the Royal exchange.

a method of determining the quality
of metals by observing their rate of
cooling. 1t is effected by means of
a pair of pillar galvanometers, SO ar

instrument is particularly valuable in
the study of intermetallic compounds.

Manitowoc.-That while the fnan-

good, some of the posts are dwindling

GERS.
The state G. A. r. posts have a total
financial standing of 55,003.52, of

PREVENT UNFAIR COMPETITION
NEW WISCONSIN LAW EXPECTED
TO CHECK OPERATIONS OF
cENTRALIZING CONCERNS.

Madison. G. Moore, of Madison,
secretary of the Wisconsin Butter
makers Association, believes the law
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature prohibiting centralizing con-
Germs paying a higher rate in one To-
cality for dairy products than in an
other, will have a good moral effect.
He says:
"A similar law aimed at centraliz-
ers who attempt to drive the small
creameries out of business by ruin
Gus competition in one section, until
all of the independent concerns are
forced to the wall, and then lowering
the price and competing in another
section, has been passed in Mime
sofa. There will doubtless be prose-
cutions under the Wisconsin law"
The bill to prevent unfair competi-
ton was introduced by Assemblyman
Merlin Hull, of Black River Falls. He
had studied conditions in southern
Iowa and Nebraska, and found that
large creamery concerns would organ
ize, raise prices above those paid by
the cooperative concerns, and thus
force the farmers factories out of the
business one by one, until the central
izer was in complete control of the
field. Then the. prices would go down
to a level away below the old stan
dard maintained by the farmers CO.
operative companies, and the competi-
4
new field.
Secretary Moore says the centraliz-
ers have a preferential rate on car
load shipments of dairy products,
which operates against the small
dealer In all probability the matter
will be taken before the interstate
commerce commission for adjustment.
