The Money Market.

Henry Clews in his Saturday letter says fin part:
 Stock exchange opera tions continue to reflect outside conditions, inertia and weakness being the main features. Many leading operators are absent on their usual winter vacations, and in banking circles there is a marked absence of the opti- mism so prevalent before the election. The main support of the market appears to be the money situation. Funds are still ogerabundant and our banks and trust companies are generally in exceptionally sound condition. Their chief complaint Is the difficulty of finding satisfactory employment for their money. Had we an elastic currency system and effective re- demption arrangements, the situation would quickly correct itself. As it is the i'll effects of this combination of too much money and too little business must be overcome as best we may
 Our national finances are becoming matter of real concern. The treasury deficit is now SS0, ,0OO,OOO Some excellent authorities estimate that it will reach $135, 900 at the end of the fiscal year in June. All this Is due more to national extravaganza than to falling off in revenue The latter is only temporary and deficit would have come even had government receipts been maintained be- cause of the reckless increase of national expenses. With the depletion of the treas ury surplus public deposits in the banks are being reduced to a minimum. This. however, has no serious effect upon the money market, since such funds quickly find their way back to the banks. The condition of the treasury will of course be used as an argument against tariff revision, notwithstanding the fact. that when business revives revenues will in crease and could in many instances be actually augmented by a judicious lower ing of some of the schedules.

Developing the ASiatiC Continent

Africa was pretty well explored Tn the nineteenth century, and it is be- lieved the development of Asia will become marked feature of the pres ent century. Railroads are to span the continent until every part of it has be- come accessible to trade. The Trans Siberian railroad, and the line from St. Petersburg to Merv and the Indian net work of railroads, and the extension ot the Chinese railroad system, and the lines in Burmah and lndo-China, are all either built or projected.
 The Mediterranean and Persia and India are almost to be linked together by a railroad, while lines will be built from Asia Minor to Bagdad and the Persian gulf England may yet seek to build along the thirtieth parallel of latitude, starting at Port Said and run ming to the head of the Persian gulf, and thence to the Indian system at Nushki, Quetta and Karachi.
 All these lines will be built during the present century and the result will be the full opening of Asia to travel and trade. The world would then be fully conquered, although some parts of Brazil and of other states in South America would still remain without railroad communication. The building of a line from Mexico to South Amer ica will be pretty sure to lead to the development of South American rail ways

TEARING A DUCK IN THREE.

I think one of the most amusing ex- periences I ever had in my life, says Hor- ace Goldin in the February Strand Mag azine, was on an occasion when I was performing a trick at the Palace theatre in London, which consisted apparently of tearing a live duck into three parts, put ting them into basin and turning them in a moment into three live ducks. Of course, I never thought for moment that anyone would really believe that l actually did tear up a live duck, but to my surprise, an officer representing the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals called on me one evening and informed me that his society intended to prosecute me unless I instantly stopped what he called my brutal and cruel per formance of tearing live duck to pieces.
 My dear sir I replied, "I certainly shall not stop performing that trick until my audiences are tired of it-but don't you understand that it Is a trick, or an Illusion, and that I do not do anything so horribly cruel as to tear up a live duck, though I may appear to do sop I of fered to show the officer how the trick was done if he liked, but he took my word and went away satisfied that my trick was not performed at the expense of the ducks feelings.

A SAILORS lNGEuNlTY.

A primitive grinding machine, the work of a Norwegian sailor, is Illustrated in the February Strand Magazine. IL has a most interesting history. Some years ago a large sailing vessel with, cargo os wheat ran short of provisions and the crew found themselves face to face with starvation. But this crisis was the means of bringing into play the ing entity of one of the crew. Remembering the wheat with which the vessel was loaded, he set to work and constructed a primitive though effective grinding rnach;re. With it he was enabled to grind enough oe the grain to- keep the 26 sailors alive for 70 days. The case of the machine was made from piece of solid wood nollowed out in the center This hollow was lined with pieces of tin made rough by means of a number of holes hammered in it. The roughed tin was crossed at regular intervals with bands of wire to corre- spond with the roller running through the machine. which was also covered with roughed metal and bands of wire. The little machine only measures about IS inches long by four inches high.

IN HOTEL LOBBlES
Pig With straioht Tail.


 "A pig with a straight tail is indeed an oddity, and unless the average man Is three sheets in the wind it will be found an extremely difficult task to convince him that such a strange creature could exist" said Deputy Sheriff Jack Brown. You will find such an animal how ever, down on Ed Newman farm. It is of the razorback variety and is getting gray with age; in fact, it is nearly as old as Ed himself. The tale is told that the pig came into the world with as pretty a twist in it's tail as any porker that ever existed. It was given to EG as a pet and the two used to- hunt nuts together. The razorbaek, however, took to roaming about at night over other farms and the neighbors raised howl about the damage being done. Ed re- eeived parental instructions to place the pig in the pen and did so, but the porker wouldn't stay there Then Ed conceived the idea of tying the pig up and quickly discovered that the only part of the pigs anatomy that would remain still was it's tail. In desperation he tied a stout piece of twne to the end of the tail and the other end of the string to the post. The pig started pulling hard and the kink in it's tail soon strengthened out. It kept up a steady pull constantly for week and out of sympathy Ed cut the string The terrific strain had made the tail for get its twist, however, and to this day it is as straight as an arrow and the wonder of the neighborhood.
