WALL STREET NOTES.

A violent rebound in prices of stocks
with the opening of the week and the
subsistence Of alarm over the health of
E. H. Hartman was followed by dull
trading. The requirement of h un-
covered short interest continued to play
q part throughout the week. The great
activity in the iron and steel trades
and s%anguine estimates Of the future
made a strong sustaining point.
The question in respect to this years
yield of corn in Kansas, according to
o. K. Lyle, the crop expert. who is now
framing a report on the seasons prob
able yield of corn. is not whether it
will come up to the prediction of a u.s.
600, 600 bushel crop, but how much more
than this Kansas farmers will ave to
their credit when the season closes.
Last year Kansas produced 156, 600, 900
bushels, so this years promise is for 81
crop in the State 2C,000, 900 bushels big
ger than last years.
Some of the traders most bullishly
inclined toward Union Pacific ex-
pressed the belief that a large part of
the borrowing demand for that stock
in the loan crowd was connected with
the approaching closing of the books
on September 10 for the shareholders
annual meeting.

Quoted with all the ceremony and science

sponge fishing since classic times.
In Florida the fishing is mostly done
by professional divers-Greeks who have
migrated from the Old World to the
New to follow their calling. In the
Greek quarter at Tarpon you may see
Greek houses. Greek costumes and hear
the Greek language. Even the boats
from which the divers work-boats of
immense strength, 40 feet by 10 feet
are brought from Greece.
The divers in the Gulf wear diving suits

who probably does the work more satis-
factorily have some remuneration besides
her board and clothes? Her privileges
are something and the satisfaction or
knowing that she il a comfort and neces-

She does not ask or expect to be PAID TOT
her services like a hired girl. for what
she owes to her parents can not be es-
timated: she can now, in some measure,
repay the love and care that nave been

A Lense- Making Tragedy.

Probably few persons took much in
terest in the announcement that nav
had been discovered in the great HO-inch
lens for the Mount Wilson rejecting tele-
scope. To scientific men this was no less
than a tragedy, since it means an ex-
pense of $4,000 and a delay of a year.
with the possibility that the second effort
will he no more successful
1t is doubtful If many persons ever saw
a rejecting telescope. When the term
telescope is used we naturally think of
AN instrument with a long ''barrei ana
lenses at each end. THESE are the most
common. but are not in many cases the
most useful. They have defects which
cannot be remedictl in our present state
of knowledge, and they have limitations
put upon them by nature which perhaps
may never be overcome. But the reflect
ing telescope, consisting of single lens
placed horizontally and without any
barrel is in many respects the more
useful instrument for astronomers. al
though it also has it's drawbacks.
In this instrument the light falls d.
,ectly on the lens and is reflected back to
a focal point. which is distant from the
open to the objection that the light re-
flected back interferes with the falling
rays, but ingenuity has overcome much
of the disadvantage. The largest effec-
Yerkes observatory. but the one planned
for Mount Wilson is to be more than
twice as large and much larger than that
of Lord Rose, which was so famous 81
years ago.
The difficulty in constructing a lens
more than eight feet in diameter arises
from the fact that the glass must be
absolutely fawless near so as hui
man skill can make it. TO make such a
lens is a long. expensive and difficult
process. and many failures inevitably re-
suit before success is achieved even for
small lenses. If the 10-inch lens is finally
turned out normally perfect, we Shall
have an instrument which will greatly
add to our knowledge of the universe
about us. It Is an interesting fact III
this connection that for several genera
tionS the best glass has been made in
France. but the best workmanship in
grinding the lenses is done in this coun-
try. The latter work is so delicate ana
difficult that it requires almost a sixth
sense to accomplish ANYTHING like de-
sirable results.-Philadelph Inquirer
