Judos Carv,s Visit.

The people of Birmingham are, as matter of course, expressing high appre- citation of Judge D. H. Gary's visit Of his whole-hearted speech about this dis trict, and his happy and gracious req marks about Birmingham's hospitality.
 Leo K. Steiner, the banker, put 1t this way: ''The visit of no other man could have had the cheering, far-reaching effect that is felt in the presence here of the head of the United States Steel corpora ton. Judge Gary Is a broad-minded, resourceful man of affairs. His excep- tional capacity is recognized everywhere and his business record shows him to be a fair, honorable man, who has faith in his fellows and who believes in the old adage. Live and let live. The more the public observes him and his straight-for- ward methods the greater It's respect for him. I regard Judge Gary as the indus trial pope of America, and to have him visit the Birmingham district where the United States Steel has extensive inter ests, and speak with satisfaction of con- ditions here, means much indeed to this section"
 Ever since the Steel corporation was or ganized in 1900 the public has been fa- milfar with the name of Judge Gary, for no man in business circles has been more in the limelight; but the question Is some times asked, is the title Of judge de- rived from the bench or is it simply com plimentary? Judge Gary was a real judge. When quite a young lawyer he was elected county judge of Cook county of which Chicago is the seat He was re- elected at the end of his first term and served out his second term, after which he went back to the practice of his pro- fession. He became prominent as a cor poration attorney and for a number of years represented several large industrial interests. It was in his capacity as coun- sel that he assisted in organizing the Federal Steel in 1898. This was holding company with 8 capital of s200, 900 coo, and the precursor or forerunner of the United States Steel corporation. It was made up of & great number of subsidiary compan- les including mining concerns, iron and steel concerns and transportation, both rail and water. The Illinois Steel was one of the subsidiary companies. Judge Gary was made president of the Federal Steel, and taking up his residence in New York, agreed to serve for a term Of three years, at the end of which time 1t was his in- tention to return to Chicago and resume the practice of law. But before three years rolled around the United States Steel corporation was formed with Judge Gary as chairman of the board of direc- tors, and the judge has been in the in- dustria1 harness ever since.
 He Is a native of Illinois. He received a part of his education at Wheaton col- lege, Illinois, and from there he entered the law department of the University of Chicago. afterwards transferred to the Northwestern university. Upon taking his law degree he plunged into work and pre- sumably into politics. for tradition has it that he was one of the youngest men in Chicago who ever won in a race for the bench.

PARIS THAT FEW PEOPLE KNOW.

TtniS I6Ai FEW FEOFl6 NNOWs B. D. Cooper. in Harpers for December
 It was months before found what most visitors to Paris seem never to find at all-the Roman amphitheatre which lies at the foot of the almost cliff-lke eastern slope of the Mont Ste. Gene vieve. At what period. by what catas- trophe. what sack of burning of the city 1t was buried, no one knows. All trace and remembrance of 1t had been lost when 60 or 70 years ago the engineers who were cutting the new Rue Morgue ran straight Into it. Since then 1t has been entirely excavated and somewhat repaired. It's condition Is as good as that of the amphitheatre at Verona, and 1t is larger than the one at Pompen. As the Roman city of the Uarisi centered upon the islands in the Seine, this must have been a suburban pleasure ground. To- gether with the Palais des Thermes ie stands as last great impressive frag- ment of Roman Paris. Passing in be- tween the high walls which support the shelving tiers of seats. ono sees on either hand the niches, some shallow, some deep as caves, in which slaves, wild animals. and perhaps Christian martyrs were oon- fined before their struggle came. On Mo- vember mornings, when tho bleak, empty seats are strewn with rain drenched leaves, the place is haunted by melan- choly, and the passage across the aren1 of an occasional child with his nurshs maid-the only living beings I ever ssN there--only deepens the impression.

 We established ourselves st the winter quarters with eight ponies, sut unfor- tunately we lost four of them within a month of our arrival. The loss was due, In the case of three of the four, to the ract that they were picketed when they first landed on sandy ground and it waa not noticed that they were eating the sand. I had neglected to see that the animals had a supply of salt given to them and as they found saline flavor In the volcanic sand under their feet, due to the fact that the blizzards had sprayed all the land near the shore with sea water, they ate 1t at odd moment.
 All the ponies seem to have done this, but some were more addicted to the habit than the others. Severss of them became i'll and we were quite B. . less died. Then post mortem examination revealed the fact that his stomach con- tained many pounds of sand and the cause of the illness of the other ponies became apparent.

The Iron Market.

The pig iron market, which has been comparatively quiet for several weeks, js not expected to take on any great de- gree of activity until about the middle of January A brisk buying movement Cincinnati report says in part:
 To-day yards are pretty generally filled with low priced iron. which has been com- ing in in liberal quantities, and so the lack of inquiry is easily accounted for. Consumption continues at @ wonderful rate and mills and foundries are far buster now than they usually are at this season. There is apparently no anxiety on the part of the iron masters, who look upon the situation as the natural one, and who are unit in predicting . lib- eral buying movement and higher prices during the early part of 1910.
 Perhaps the only disquieting feature of the situation is the amount of resale iron thrown on the market which must be sold and shipped out this month. This comes not only from ordinary spectators. but from consumers who in the excite ment of the recent activity--to use the vulgar expression-bit off more than they could chew. Furnaces are insisting that the iron be shipped out according to con- tract-hence the supernuous iron.
 "Quotations on southern iron vary so that it is impossible to say just what the market really is; but there are some who are still holding out for $l5 for the first half believing that early in 1910 will see this the established price.
