London, Jan. 2.-New phases of de- bression in the chipping business have appeared. A little while back it was suggested that there were certain signs of Improvement, although 1t was difiicult to locate them. Much was said and written about e revival in shipbuilding and undoubtedly q num- Der of orders were given out. But 1t was always dificult to see why any body should order ships, cargo boats especially. when tonnage was a drug ,n the market, and freights showed not the slightest symptom of improvement. Today such, shipbuilding revival as there was has apparently spent iteslf. and Sir Christopher Furness stands out as almost a solitary optimistic figure Meanwhile. idle tonnage is ac- sumulating at rate which gives
 Particular trades necessarily have Q close time during the ice months, even though ice-breakers nowadays do a good deal in the way of keeping ports open for shipping Consequently there is nothing at all startling in find- ing q considerable number. of tramp 'tesmers tied up to the buoys for the winter. But what is ssuggestire is the arge and increasing proportion of ves- sctb WAlCu dI0 AS pO1AS AfO 'elation to normal winter procedure, ut indicates a death of employment t payable rates in almost every branch f the shipping trade.

GRAVES ARE DEsEcRATED.

Burglaes PrOfane Graves of Danish
 Royalty.
 Copenhagen. Jan. s.--Burglars have profaned the cofiins of the late King Christian and Queen Louise in the mausoleum of Frederick v.l in the fa- nous Rosirilde Cathedral. Holy relics of great value were stolen from the sarcophagi. Popular grief and anger at the outrage are very great.
 It appears that tae burglars forced an entrance through the cathedral windows at night. afterwards cutting way through the iron gates separat- ing the mausoleum from the cathedral. Once in the mausoleum the thieves made a careful selection of the most valuable golden wreaths placed on the sarcophagi of the King and Queen. Among the wreaths thus stolen were one sent by the late kings children, including Queen Alexandra; one per- sonally deposited by President Falli- eres; third of gold and particularly valuable contributed by all the Danish provinces. and two others presented by the Russian Imperial family.
 In the hurry of their departure the thieves dropped and abandoned a gold en Tyre stolen from Queen Louise's tomb, while outside the church golden oak leaves from the wreaths were found scattered on the ground. The discovery of. these gave the first inti- nation of the sacrilege. The burslars' finger prints have been discovered on the glass of the royal coffins The glass was covered with heavy velvet palls, which were cut to pieces and probably used as wraprings for the stolen wreaths. This theory is sup ported by the statement of . passan. ger by the first train from Roskilde to Copenhagen on the night of the burg lary. He declares that he saw two foreign-looking, Germans speaking men carrying heavy bulky packages with black wrappings.
 King Frederick and the members of the royal family received the news of the outrage with poignant grief.

GRAND NEW WORLD NATIONS
Marvellous Development Of the Two
Americas Foreshadowed in

Chile has an industrial awakening
which is marvellous. The work on the
first steel plant south of Mexico is
progressing SO rapidly that it will be
ready for operation in October, 1910.
It will cost 100000 in United States
gold and will have a daily output of
200 tons.
The consular reports sent to the
government at Washington are filled
with instructive comments and facts
and figures about the activities of diff
ferent nations. Japan's alertness is
we'll known. Besides improving her
rivers and harbors she is organizing
new steamship lines to various South
American ports.
But of all the intrepid hustlers Can
ada is the silent, yet most conspicu-
GUS. When one tries to imagine the
great empire which will one day take
the place of the modest lady of the
SHOWS. all Old World grandeurs seem
to pale. When one further let's his

CLEVER WORK OF DETECTIVES
Partisan Peace Guardians Employ e.
feetive Disguise in Effort to
Make Arrest.

Two ragged-looking street singers
appeared in front of a cafe in one of
the popular quarters of Paris. One of
them sang pathetic street ballad,
and the other accompanied him on
the guitar. Coppers fell here and
there from the windows, and some
midinettes listened with pleasure to
the music. Suddenly the singer broke
off his song, the accompanist dropped
his guitar, and both seized by the
collar a man who was coming out of
the cafe, snatched an envelope with
700 francs and a lot of slips of paper
out of his hand, and told him that he
was their prisoner. The two must
clans were simply two clever detec-
tives sent by NJ. Hamard to secure the
arrest of a clandestine bookmaker,
who was taking bets on the races, an
occupation forbidden by the law. The
bookmaker struggled hard to get loose
from their grip, and he, in turn,
threatened to have the men arrested
as highway robbers. The amusing
thing is that a policeman who had OBJ
served the scene rushed to his assist
ance, and although the detectives
showed their papers, he had his
doubts, and marched them of to the
police station, together with their pris-
oner. Here things were at last
cleared up, and the detectives were
complimented for their clever STRAIT
agem.

CITY RUNS A PUBLIC BAKERY
Budapest to Have Plant Capable OF
Producing $1,000 Pounds Of
Bread Daily.

The city Of Budapest in order to
furnish good bread to the public at q
cheap price has decided to establish a
municipal bakery capable Of produc.
Ing $4,000 pounds of bread daily.
This will be public enterprise and
Is meant by competition to compel the
general production of bread equally
good and equally cheap-prices being
based upon the actual price of wheat
and four-as that furnished by the
municipality.
This bakery will be a model one.
Modern machinery will be used and
all immediate contact by the workmen
with the bread will be avoided. Be
sides this the burgomaster says, the
bakery by the wholesale purchase of
flour and other articles of production
will tend to reduce the price.
The expense of building this munic.
ipal bakery will be $125, 900. not in
Guiding the value of the site. The
rooms for preparing the dough, the
baking rooms and the bread maya
zines are all spacious and well lighted.
Near by are two groups of buildings.
one containing the engine house. tbs
electrical plant and places for storing
and preparing potatoes, the Hun.

made of wheat mixed with potatoes,
and the other consisting of stables
and coach houses.
The bread will be sold partly in spe-

TWO IDEAS ABOUT BUSINESS
One Without Imagination, and the
Other with II and the Differ
ence Therein.

It must be remembered always that
is important. but the reason for the
price
The bankrupt stock. the fire sale.
the manufacturers remnants. the an
nual clearance. the removal sale, the
dissOlutiOn-Of- partnership sale-what
are these. and many more. but argu-
ments for the price? And note this
one pOint-that without the argument
the price is pOwerless. Reduce your
fur-lined OvercOats from 500 to 500.
and liberal discount attracts little at
tenti0n. Why? Because there is no
reasonable explanation for the reduc-
ton. Why should you present over
coats to the public: But announce
that. owing to an expiration of your
lease. and the imperative command
that you vacate your present store
within two weeks, you will reduce the
price of your fur-lined overcOats from
800 to $50. and you may sell easily
all you have to offer. Instinctively.
the public sees the whole picture-the
pr0prietor's anxiety, the inevitable re-
moval, the lessening days. the final
sacrifice, and the store full of eager
buyers quick to seize such ar Oppor-
tunity. This is only half the reduction
previously considered; but one is bust
ness without imagination, and the 9th

Let the Child Sleep.

It is a bad thing for an adult to

HUMAN BODY AS telephone
German Scientist Sees Great Possible.
ties In Experiments He Has
Been Conducting.

The human telephone is at once
the newest and the oldest form of tele-
phony. Some years ago it was shown
that It was possible to charge the hu.
man body with tremendously high
alternating currents of electricity. And
It is well known that the body has
been used as an electric battery for
many experiments.
1t Is now suggested by one DR.. Die
der of Steglits that by charging the
body with these rapidly alternating
impulses the drum of the ear can be
made to respond to their action and
vibrate SO as to hear the current The
ear would then become a kind of tele-
phone disk and would be aware of
changes in the intensity of the cur
rent. 1t is necessary simply to press
against the ear the outer metallic
coating of Leyden jar whose inner
coating is connected with one pole of
an induction coil and to grasp the op-
posite pole with one hand.
Rieder thinks it is not impossible to
perfect this arrangement SO that 1t
will transmit speech telephonically.
It is thought that deaf people might
be sensitive to the device. As DR..
Rieder finds that there is feeling of
oppression in the ear for several
hours after such experiments, the au-
ditive organs must be acted upon in
quite q different way from that of an
ordinary telephone.

italian Club, In City OF

Men have often played billiards. but
not for love. It has taken William
CarusO. prosperous young barber Of
the COlOnnade hotel, to demonstrate
the fact that Cupid turks in the cor

and an arrow for the victor of the
game of chance.
Four years ago CarusO met, in the
Mazzina Garibaldi club. John CirinO.
the best billiard player in the club.
CarusO. undaunted by the others repu-
tation, challenged him to a billiard
duel, with the privilege. If he won, of

arranged, the match came of, Carus0
won, and Cirino introduced the victor

Every week the billiard matches
would be the talk of the club when 1t
became known what were the stakes.
And every week Caruso beat his Op-
ponent, fortified by the thought of the
smiles that awaited him after the
battle.

barber was a worthy man in every

THE JUDGE AND THE DOCTOR
Man of Medicine, After Jurist's Ex.
PLANTATION, Concluded to Let
His Grievance Pass.

The physician was a witness in a
damage case, and his answers to ques-
tons had been marked by more length
than lucidity. The lawyer who was
examining him several times eau
toned him to confine his replies to
subjects involved in the questions. but
this warning had little effect. Finally
the judge lost patience and told him
to make an effort to shorten his an
swers and to quit talking when he got
through.
This had some effect temporarily.
but few minutes later the physician
began long and rambling answer
which had only a vague and remote
bearing upon what had been asked
him.
Look here" said the now irate
judge, you are wasting the time OF
the court, the attorneys, the witnesses
and everybody else here, and delaying
the trial of the case. Now, if you don't
confine yourself to plain answers here
after l shall send you to Jail for con-
tempt OF COURT!
That had its effect, and the testi-
mony of the witness was concluded in
a reasonable time after that
The next day the judge and the
physician met upon the street. They
are acquaintances, and stopped and
shook hands.
Say, Judge" inquired the doctor.
would it be contempt OF court, now
that you are no longer on the bench,
to say that you acted like a damned
fool at the trial yesterday. and would
you send me to jail?"
"Oh, no." replied his honor, easily
I'D go to Jail; you'd go to the hospi.

The physician didn't say what he
had intended to say.

Won Buelow as a Toy.

Among the thousands of ingenious
toys with which the German market is
flooded at Christmas time there is one
hardy annual, the Stehaufaennchen or
tumbler, little figure with leaden
base, which. stand it how you will, in
variably regains its original position
A year or SO ago toy merchant, who
must have possessed keen political
fair, conceived the genial idea of i'm
parting to the little tumbler the Inca
ments of Prince Buelow. The toy sold
by the hundred thousand and the in.
ventor must have made his fortune.
Public opinion Immediately caught the
subtle allusion to the chancellor's as
founding success in bobbing up ser
enely out of the highest corners, and
the sobriquet of Stehaufmaennchen
stuck.
