Stocks FELL Off
Trading Was Dull and Price fiuctua.
tons NarroW-Union Pacific
Had Reaction.

New York, Sept 13.-The dull
trading and narrowing price fluctua
tions of today's stock market showed
a normal rate of subsistence from the
violent cOntortions of adjustment OF
last weeks leading event No one
supposed that the death of a capital
ist of Harrimans power contained d
positive force for the betterment OF
values of securities. Early termina-
ton of headlong advice Friday, and
the agency of uncovered short inter.
est in causing it quite justly recog-
nized. The growing exhaustion of
last weeks powerful motive forces
were manifest in the restriction OF
reaction and the later fluttering vibra-
lions of prices.
Such action represents the settling
down of the market to await new de-
velopments. The remaining traces of
feyerishness in the movement of I'm.
ion Pacific were unaccountable by
the steps taken towards the continue
ity of its administration and to ru-
mors bearing on the future policy of
the vast interests and powerful in
fluences involved. The prompt cleo
ton of new directors and executive
committee is regarded to put a stop
to some of the rumors of alleged con-
templated changes. The relative po-
stion of United States Steel and
Amalgamated Copper, which changed
Saturday when the former rose above
the latter for the first time, was unal-
tered today. The unsettlement in the
market was aggravated by rumors
that embarrassments of brokerage
houses was threatened as a conse-
quence of the violent fluctuations Of
the recent past. Denial of these ru
mors gave the market the first show
of strength during the mid-session
but the fresh reaction in Union Pacif-
ic later proved that its influence on
the general list is still maintained.
The complexion of the weekly bank
statement, published after the market
closed Saturday, came in for discus
sion and prepared sentiment for fu-
cure hardening money rates.
While firmer rates were generally
expected the bankers do not expect
tight money markets this fall in spite
of the narrow margin Of the surplus
reserve of banks. This stood at the
end of the banking week at $3.50 ,425
while the average showing gave &c..
469,175
The 1924, 900 absorption by the
sub-trasury for the new banking week
was partly due to the transfer to San
Francisco of another $1,500000 gold
for Japan. The rise in Chicago ex
change to 20 cents discount per $1,000
was development of the day, but the
tide of the currency movement is
strongly towards the interior. The
fall in Union Pacific, allowing for the
dividend of today, carried it off 7%
from the high point of the rally Sat
urday. The closing of the books to
day for the coming annual meeting
ends the demand for representation
at that meeting.

Fine Art. Of 5000 Years Ago.


In an interesting and extraordinarily
complete collection of ancient Egyp-
tian amulets which has just been
placed on exhibition in the Brooklyn
institute museum are some works of
art which would do credit to the most
skillful OF our modern sculptors. When
1t Is considered that many of these
We're made as early as 5000 3. c.. and
some of them as far back as 5000 Is.
iC.--beforc even Abraham was born
one cannot but wonder what sort of
civilization must have existed in those
days. There is the face of lioness
carved in stone that would do credit
to Barge: there are tiny bronze figures
OF Isis. Osiris and Horus that are as
perfect in their proportions and as
strong in their conception as any of
the masterpieces OF Robin: there are
alligators. turtles, cats and other ami
mails which resemble nothing SO much
as the best work OF the Japanese. and
which Boutet de Monvel or any of the
present day designers of jewelry in
Paris might take as their models
In arranging this probably unique
collection Professor w. H. Goodyear
wisely placed In the very center of one
Of the cases a pair of the chisels with
which such carvings We're made. chls-

temper copper as to make a chisel OF
1t would not only earn fortune but
would hand his name down to posterity
alongside OF that OF Bessemer. yet he
would but be reviving All art which was
a commonplace one to these ancient
Egyptians. and probably to tho ances-
tors OF our own American Indians.

A Hoaarthian Inn Sian.

FROM the Strand Magazine.
One of the most humorous inn signs
is The Man Loaded With Mischief
which is found about a mile from
Cambridge, on the Madingley road. The
original MISCHIEF" was designed by
Hogarth for public house in Oxford
street.
1t is needless to say that the sign
board, and even the name. have long
ago disappeared from the busy London
thoroughfare. but the quaint device
must have been extensively copied by
country sign painters. There is a Mis-
CHIEF at Wallingford and a Load of
Mischief at Norwich. The inn on the
Madingley road exhibits the sign in its
original form. Though the colors are
much faded from exposure to the
weather, traces of Hogarthian humor
can be detected. A man is staggering
under the weight of woman, who is
on his back. She is holding a glass
of gin in her hand; a chain and pad
lock are around the mans neck, labelled
"Wedlock" On the right hand side is
the shop of IS. GRIPPE. Pawnbroker,"
and carpenter is just going In to
pledge his tools.

How OREGON Get Its Name.


We believe 1t most probable that the
name of Oregon arose out of some cir
'cumstance connected with Western ex-
plorations under direction OF the
French Earlier than the English. the
French had pressed on westward from
the great lakes to the Red river to the
Saskatchewan and to the foot of the
Rocky mountains. They wer. ranging
the country of the upper Mississippi in
search of furs and for trade with the
natives: they We're full of curiosity and
active i'm inquiry about the great dis

natives the word "Aragon' as IL

oriain of the Anvil.

From the Boston Globe.
The anvli was known in the earliest
times, being spoken of i'm the Bible. the
prophet Isaiah saying (chapter Al.
verse y, so the carpenter encouraged
the goldsmith. and he that smootheth
with the hammer him that smiteth
the anvil" 1t is not known who first
used 1t, but of course the anvil of an
tiquity was unlike that of today as
perfected by modern workmanship.
The anvil still used in the Orient, how
ever, is a boot shaped piece of metal
inserted in section OF oak or walnut
log; larger or smaller 1T is used by
shoemakers, silversmiths
and blacksmiths. The anvils used In
this country are commonly made of
cast iron faced with steel and are of
parallelopiped form with steel cone
or beall at one end and handy hole"
for inserting q chisel or other tools at
the other end.

COLORADO TO HAVE
BIG GAME PRESERVE
State Laws Will Arrange Open
Season Where All Citizens
May Shoot.

In order to prevent the determination
OF game in Colorado, a plan is OH foot
there to establish big preserve which
is to be fenced and wardens appointed
to prevent poachers from encroaching
during the closed season. 1t Is pro-
posed that Coloradoans may shoot in
the opening season. under certain re-
strictions.
The Pueblo Star Journal. indorses the
scheme In the following editorial:
The plan OF forming a great game
preserve in this state, which Win rival
the great natural reserves in other
parts OF the world, Is an excellent one,
and it is to be hoped that 1t will be
successful. There are varieties OF game,
formerly plentiful, but now rapidly
nearing extinction, in this state that
should be preserved by all means. and
II the new park Is properly stocked and
proper regulations for the killing OF
Wild animals are made and strlngently
enforced, 1T is probable that great
public service will be done aud future
generations will benefit vastly from tho
forethought OF the present.
Fence UP the Land.
Tho state laws In the interest of the
preservation of Wild animals are be-
coming more stringent everywhere. and
this is having an excellent effect In the
preservation of many species of game.
but the enforcement of such laws is
necessarily difficult and many viola
lions almost impossible of detection UNI
questlonably take place. Game that
roams the entire state cannot be per
fectly protected by the state rangers
and therefore every year will witness
the slaughter of animals. not only UNI
lawfully, but absolutely wantonlN.
With a private game preserve condl-
tions are different. En- the first place,
1T is possible TO fence such a preserve,
and this has been shown to have a
great deterrent effect upon poachers
and marauders. Besides 1T is not only
possible, but customary. TO maintain Il
much more careful guard over the ami
mails inclosed than is or can be done
by the state. and this has the effect
of reducing the killing of wild animals
to the minimum.
