the conversion privilege ceases and the bonds will not bear interest. These bonds have been selling in the market at around lSO.
 President N L. Amster says: "The directors decided it was good business judgment to wipe out the unnecessary interest eharg, of $30,000 per annum and also felt hat the people who pur chased these bonds at par made a sub stantial invest nent. Inasmuch as most of the large holdings are held by peo. pie closely identified with the company, who are willing to convert them into stock. the directors deem it advisable and the time tpportune, for the calling in of the bonds.

When this new stock is issued for the bonds, the total outstanding capital will be l20,000 shares and the company will still be enc oi the smallest capitalized companies among the western mines

Telephone Merger News the Only Feature of Listless

NEW YORK, December 16.-Dif- ficulty is found in throwing off the lethargic tendency which crept into speculation today. Many stocks have practically dropped out of trading.
 The demand for the general list was scanty. Passage of,the year-end period is felt to be desirable before attempt ing large market operations.
 Reduction of the premium on the New York exchange and in Chicago indicates less inducements here to draw funds from the interior.
 News of the absorption of the inde- pendent telephone companies by She banking house which transacted the recent financing of the American Tele- phone & Telegraph company strengthen ed the impression of a reported cam paigu for the consolidation of these corporations.

 Forty-four Years On Throne
 Leopold Louis Philippe Marie Victor, king of the Belgians, was born in Brus- sels, April 9, 1885, and succeeded to the throne upon the death of his fath- CT, the late King Leopold l, which occurred December 10, 1865. Leopold received a liberal education and in his youth travelled extensively through Flu rope, Egypt and Asia Minor. As Duke of Brabant he took prominent part in several important discussions in the senate, When he came to the throne he was thought to possess a broad and active mind and was looked upon as a ruler who would understand the wants of the people, In his early days he gave himself up to the study of the great economical questions that today are paramount. He made exhaustive researches into finance, commerce, in dustry and engineering. His first speech in the senate, delivered several years before he came to the throne, was to advocate the establishment of a mar time service between Antwerp and Le. vant
 During his many years on the throne Leopold proved himself to be an admir- able monarch and keen business man. In the latter capacity he was without peer among European royalty. His financial achievements in the Congo, in China, in the United States and in other parts of the world are proof sufficient of this fact. It is owing to the king s untiring energy and perseverance that Belgium has. in the Congo Free State, an outlet for her commercial and indus trial activity. He was one of the few people who made large sums through his investments in the Panama canal. He was active on the various stock ex- changes and seemed to find more satis- faction in launching and directing great industrial and commercial enterprises than in administering the affairs of his kingdom. The Congo Free State was his pet hobby. The money he expend, ed on its early development often em- barrassed him financially, but in later years the venture reaped vast profits and became, by reason of it's maladmin, istration and by the violation of all

GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, December l6.-Wheat for December delivery sold today at $l.l45s per bushel, new mgh record for the crop and a gain of 21a cents compared with the previous close. The new high point in wheat was reached late in the day.
 The greatest gain was in December, which is in urgent demand by shorts, who bid the price to $1123s and then 10 $1.14Ts. May advanced from sl.O9A to Sll3% The upturns is due chiefly to sharp advances in nearly all the lead ing grain centers of Europe, caused by lighter offerings of wheat from Argen- tina and australia.

like those in which the deat-. of the Crown Prince oI Austria, Prince Ru- dolph, was involved.
 The marriage of Prince Albert to the Duchess Elizabeth, third daughter of Duke Charles of Bavaria, October 2, 1900, caused great rejoicing and entnusi- asm in Belgium. When son and heir presumptlve to the throne was born. No vember 3, 1901, the manifestations of pleasure in Brussels showed that the royal couple possess strong hold on the affections of the Belgians. A second son, Prince charles, was born to the couple, October 10, 1903.
 Prince Albert was very delicate at the time of his brother s death, but he grew up to be tall, soldierly man, well built and with face inclined to be chubby. He is said to be unusually studious, but at the same time he is neither reclyse nor a bookworm. He has been an extensive traveller, and has visited not only every court in Europe, 1 but most of the great eenters of indus | try in the old world. He made many friends in America during his visit in | 1898, when he spent some three months in making acuaintance with American institutions and in filling round of pri- vate social engagements at Newport and other centers.
 Princess Albert possesses an engaging disposition She is great sportswoman, an excellt rider, good eyclist and auto mobilist. No dynastic reasons entered into her marriage with the heir to the Belgian throne. In fact, the ducal branch of the Bavarian royal line is of no particular eminence. Since their marriage the young couple have resided at the magnificent Hotel d'Assehe, in | Brussels.

Antiquity of the Water Pump.

The water pump of today is but an
Improvement on Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign of Ptoemies Philadelphos and
Energetes. 2S3 to 22l B. @. The name,
which is very similar in all languages.
is derived from the Greek word penn
po. to send or throw. The most an
cient description we have of water
pump is by Hero of Alexandria. There
is no authentic account of the general
use of the pump In Germany previous
to the beginning OF the sixteenth cen
tury. At about that time the endless
chain aud bucket works for raising
water from mines began TO be replaced
by pumps. In the seventeenth century
rotating pumps, like the Pappenham
engine. with two pistons. and the
Prince Rupert. with one. were first
used. Pumps with plunger pistons
were invented by Morland. an Eng
lishman. In 1914 and the double acting

mician.
