New York, June 20.-The vulnerable po- had run left it open to the effect of a number of factors last week which pre- scipitated sharp reaction and more signs of disorder in the liquidation than have been seen since the cut in steel prices in February broke the market. Large re- sponsibility for this was assigned to the course of the plan to secure admission of United States Steel to the Paris bourse. Whatever the real importance of this project or of its failure to the financial and investment position of the corpora tion, there was an inordinate use made of the episode as an incentive to the speculation. It was inevitable, therefore, that the speculative position of the stock should suffer when obstacles began to arise to the success of the project. The policy of first denying these obstacles and later protesting against the impor- taxce attached to the whole incident did not avail to prevent the harm done. The persistence of favorable advices from the steel trade was not of sufficient effect to overcome this influence on United States Steel.
 There developed some uneasiness in the copper trade which carried its influences Into other metal trades. Estimates of the rapid depletion of the surplus stocks of refined copper have been a factor in the speculation in the copper industrials. Additional estimates of the amount of raw copper in the hands of producers and in course of refinement lessened the

fortuneless in this world panorama, this revel of princesses and plutocrats, dukes and daughters of the rich, men of the world and women of the half world.
 The novel is very fascinating. Mir. Saltus never hesitates, on the contrary, to call things by tn cir correct names in some portions of the book you in stinctively think of the Decameron.
 MT Saltus also, as does our good friend Fra Elbertus, keeps one so on edge by not only the brilliance and fascination of the style employed in his writings, but one feels that to read Saltus and Hub bard as they should be read, Webster Unabridged should be close at hand. To some sensitive people, a continual thrust at them of an obscure or unnecessarily complicated word or term is wearisome. At times both MT. Saltus and MT. Hub bard overdo the word juggling.
 Still, if you are not very young per- son, and enjoy a thriller of the most brilliant type. you cannot do better than read Daughters of the Rich"
 ''The Alternative" by George Barr Me
 Cutcheon. (Dodd, Mead & Co.)
 When a state legislature passes law which the parties affected think are con- fiscatory, or words to that effect, appeals are usually made to the courts that all rights may be examined and protected.
 What can be done, now really, to a writer of books which sell by the thou sands, which by rights-well, never mind. Stop buying his books? Certainly. Now take MT. McCutcheon, who has returned, we are seriously informed, to the style of his first works, "The Day of the Dog" "The Flyers" and other light stuff of hisI
 You don't have to read his books, it is remarked? Oh, yes, reviewers have to-. This is another McCutcheon. You know what that is or isn't. If you care for 1t, get 1t! If not, then join with the reviewers in looking for some law to pro- tect them and feel that you have done one good deed at least.

 Saltus. Mitchell Kennerley.)
 To those who are familiar with MT. Saltus' essays novels and so forth, there is absolutely no need to more than mention the appearance of a new novel from his pen. Those unfamiliar with MT. Saltus' work should wake up.
 "Daughters of the Rich" deals essen tially with a man and two women. One of the women, the man loved; both loved him.
 The deception which separated him from the woman he worshiped, paganly and bound him to one whom he merely tolerated was avenged with ap- palling ruthlessness.
 "Daughters of the Rich" is pageant of desire and destiny. From New York to Paris, Deauville and Chantilly; from Chantilly to Santa Barbara, in South ern California-from santa Bar bara to New York again-such is the circle of life and death, of passion and it's fruition.

Raths and The Hart.

The effects of warm and cold baths upon
the size Of the heart have been discussed
q great deal by physicians and lately the
method of measuring the dimensions Of the
heart proposed by Moritz has enabled OBJ
servers TO determine changes in this re-
spect quite accurately.
Rudolph and Beck nave studied by this
method the changes produced in healthy
and diseased persons by the administra-
ton OF cold and hot baths. All patients
subjected TO these experiments had the
size of their hearts measured Immediately
before the baths and the operation was re-
peated as soon after the bath as circum-
stances permitted. the time between the
END ot the bath and the estimation of the
changes in the heart not exceeding two or
three minutes.
The results obtained were quite uniform.
The effect OF the hot bath was to diminish
the size Of the heart. the amount OF the
change being quite considerable in most
cases. In one case the heart remained un-
changed in size.
The effect of the cold bath was to in
crease the size of the heart. no change be-
Ing noticed in one case only. The dminu-
ton in the size OF the heart after hot
baths was accompanied by an increase f.
the rapidity OF the pulse and in the supply
of blood to the skin. phenomena which are
of course commonly observed after hot
bathing
Cold baths. on the other hand, were fol-
lowed by increased pallor of the skin and
diminution in the frequency Of the pulse
The limited number OF cases examined
does not allow final conclusions to be
drawn, but the uniformity Of the results
obtained speaks for the correctness Of the
hndings.-Medical Record.

SUM IN
TRACK PRIZES
Pennsy to Award $1,000 TO
Men Whose Sections Stand
Water SpiIIine Test

Prizes amounting to $1,000 will be
awarded THIS year by tho Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and subsidiary CON-
panies to employees for excellence in
the maintenance Of track. To insure
that the prizes shall be awarded upon
accurate data a committee OF main
tenance-of-way officers goes over the
line every few weeks during the year
in car attached to one Of the regular
high-speed trains.
Two glasses of water are placed on
the sills OF two rear windows and
every spill of water is counted against
the score of the section of track over
which the train is passing. To make
the record even more accurate. an in
strument has been specially designed
to register every vibration Of the car.
either vertically or horizontally.
This instrument, which is placed in
The floor of the car. has two stems
with a hammer on the end Of each
These stems are of flexible steel, and
vibrate one vertically and the other
horizontally with every Jar of the car.
The movements OF the stems are re-
corded by pedometers giving the num-
Der of vibrations. while cyclometers
record the entire distance covered by
the vibrations of the trip. Thus n
severe vibration affects a greater
cyclometer record than a slight ir
regularity. The smaller the amount
of vibration the better the track.
When the record is averaged with
the number Of pedometer readings and
spills" of water. and some allowance
made for relative speed, a fairly ac-
curate estimate can be made of the

rived at, the prizes are awarded.
