STATE BANKS
MAKE BIG GAINS
IN THE DEPOSITS
Supt. Williams Says Recovery
During Year From Panic
Is Complete.

ALBANY, Jan. I3.-Clark Williams,
State Superintendent OF Banks, in his
annual report submitted to the Lesls-
lature to-day, discusses the recovery
Of banking interests from the financial
panic Of a year ago The report says:
"The past year has been most event.

terests Of the State. 1t has been es-
sentially a year Of achievement. Our
financial panic came with its contribu-
ton Of experience, and the answer to
that experience has been body Of

Commenting on the change In the
law made last year, whereby the State
Superintendent OF Banks superccdcs
court receivers for failed financial In
stitutions. the report points out that
Supt Williams took possession Of the
Home Bank Of Brooklyn under this
statute, and that after forty-two days
the bank was in a position to resume
business. the cost for rehabilitation
being but $1,000, there being no coun-
sci fees. The report shows that the
smallest amount paid as receivers
fees and for counsel In the case Of the
banks which suspended in October,
1907, was s2O,500,
Let Banking Laws Stand.
Supt. Williams discusses the operation
OF the remedial banking legislation of
last year and adds:
although minor faults may become
apparent through their continued oper-
alton, It would seem wise to test thor
oughly their provisions before contem-
plating radical amendment. I therefore
recommend that banking legislation at
the present session OF your honorable
body be held at a minimum. believe
that strict observance OF existing laws,
coupled with reasonable business tudg-
ment under intelligent and helpful SUI
pervision. will absolutely prevent fall
ure and will render our State institu-
tions generally stronger than those OF
any other existing system. State OF fed
eral.'
The superintendent declares that all
the banks should be In one association.
such as the Clearing House, as the
union would prove bu!wars In time OF
panic.

The Date of Christ's Birth.

1t is known that the Christian era,
based on the birth of the Saviour, is
older by several years than the time
assigned in the calendar; but the pre-
else year in which Christ was born
has never been finally determined.
Lieut.-Col. G. Mackinlay has recently
Investigated the question anew, and
has stated his conclusions in a book,
for which Sir w. NJ. Ramsay has writ
ten a preface. The date on which he
fixes for the Nativity is s B. c., ac-
cording to our present chronology. He
bases his reasoning on the assumed
association of John the Baptist with
periodical bright shinings" of the
planet Venus, the suggestion being
that these special ASPIRATIONS of
Venus are the groundwork of the story
of the "Star of Bethlehem"

BaIl-Bearinu Motors.

British engineers anticipate that
one of the most interesting features
in the manufacture of electrical IA
chinery during the present year will
be a great increase in the use of ball
bearings. Several types of motors
have already been placed on the mar
ket which have ball bearings. Among
the advantages of such bearings is the
relatively small amount Of fabrication
required for motors fitted with them.
1t Ia considered also that such mo,or5
should furnish better output than
those having ordinary bearings. Tx
periments have been made in Europe
on the application of ball bearings to
traction motors, but in this case the
conditions are not so favorable as in
that Of motors for use in factories.

The Craze for Speed.

Those mighty ocean steamers, like

quires five thousand tons to drive one
of them across the Atlantic at that
high speed. At a moderate speed,
less than half that amount would do,
but our century is gone speed crazy,

There was once in Boston, an old
cere man, who lived prayerfully every
day. One of the great joys of his life
was the family worship hour. One
year two other merchants persuaded
him to go into a deal with them, by
which they could control all the cod
fish in the market and greatly in
crease the price. The plan was sue
ceeding well, when this good old man
learned that many poor persons in
Boston were suffering because of the
great advance in the price of Goldfish.
1t troubled him so that he broke down
In trying to pray at the family altar,
and went straight to the men who
them he could not go on with it. Said
the old man: 81 can't afford to do
anything which interferes with my
family prayers. And this morning
when l got down on my knees and
tried to pray, there was a mountain
of Goldfish before me, high enough to
shut out the throne of God, and
could not pray. l tried my best to
get around 1t, or get over 1t, but every
time 1 started to pray, that Goldfish
loomed up between me and my God.
