JERSEY Devil IS FOUND DEAD
STRANGE BEASTS CORPSE Elk.
PLAINS FOOTPRINTS.

BURLINGTON, N. j., October 20.-If
ANYBODY ever doubted that a Jersey
DEVIL left its strange and puzzling hoof-
nrints in the snow Of this and adjoining
states last winter, proof Is produced here
that the scare was never due to high
balls.
There is on exhibit in this city the car
cass of the queerest animal ever seen
about here, a beast not on the schedule
Of any natural history ever read by any
one of this section.
The animals body, still In good condi-
ton. as though it had been dead only
a short while. was found by Morris Ca
binsky of this city and Charles Mails
bury of Kinkora in the woods near Kin
brought to this city. where hundreds have
seen and marveled. Photographs have
been made of the beast, and Prof Henry
Morse, curator of the State Museum. will
be asked to give the animal a name
and place 1t where 1t belongs-if he is
able to do SO.
The boys thought at first they had
come upon the carcass Of a big wildcat,
but 1t looked so queer to them that they
decided to carry 1t into town.
The body of the animal is about twenty
inches long and thin. The spinal column
extends six inches behind the junction
with the hind legs like the tail of a
kangaroo. but this again is tipped with
nine inches or tall IKE a squirrel 8, but of
reddish brown fur.
The strangest feature of all. and that
which would seem to convict 1t Of last
winters famous footprints. is found in
the fore legs anu feet. The legs are fif-
teen inches long. consisting of four joints,
and socketed to these are the feet, which
take the form of broad. fiat bone with
distinct heel. The foot bones are two
and half inches long and over an inch
broad. In solid piece.
II the animal Travelled by leaps, bend
ing the two fore feet down together. he
would land after each long spring Win
the feet forming the puzzling effect of
the footprints in the snow last winter.
The rear feet would explain the hiding
Of cat" prints near the hoof marks.
What looks like the. framework of q
pair Of short wings rises from the ami
mails back, just above his short hind
legs.
The big mouth is set with sharp teeth
three-quarters of an inch long, while
the head Is adorned with long. lancelike
ears anu whiskers four inches long.

ACQUIRES THREE LINES.
Chesapeake & Ohio Company Add.
Nearly 200 Miles of Trackaee.

Nearly zoo Miles OF Trackage.
RICHMOND, Va, october N.-Tne
stockholders of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company in annual meeting in
this city verified the purchase of three
short roads operating into the Virginia
and West Virginia coal fields These lines
will add nearly 200 miles of trackage to
the purchasing road, and will give the
Chesapeake and Ohio more prominent
place among the coal producing lines of
the east. Following out Edwin Hawley's
methods of commercial and Industrial ex-
tension. these coal branches were bought
with the idea Of enabling the c. & o. to
capably compete with the Norfolk and
Western, and the Virginia railways,
which now bring out a large proportion
of the Virginia and West Virginia coal.
The three lines purchased are as follows:
the Coal River railway of West Virginia;
the Southwestern Railway Company Of
West Virginia. and the Virginia Air Line
railway Of Virginia.
During the last several years all of
Chesapeake and Ohio. The success of
these operations has induced the stock
holders and directors of the larger road
to take over the properties permanently.
The following directors for the conduct
of the road for the year 1910 were elect
ed: Decatur Axtell, James H. Dooley, Ed

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

So few were the orders on the hands Of
the members of the stock exchange today
that the call proceeded practically without
interruption. Vice President Lynn, who
presided, had difficulty. at times, in MAX
ing his voice heard over the hum OF the
idle brokers' conversation. Mr. Lynn has
occupied the chair at the daily sessions
recently in place of President Father.
who is suffering from throat trouble.
Interest in the coming election Of Of
ficers is keen. although the only name
mentioned in connection with the presi-
dency is that of Mr.. Hibbs He has held
that position perhaps more than any
other member and is regarded as having
special qualifications for it.
He is said to stimulate the business of
the exchange, which Is recognized as a
good thing. and which has always its
advocates. who believe in a general way
in enlarging the activities, and more espe-
cially the amount of business done at the
daily meetings, but fail to mention spe-
officially just how such result is to be
brought about.
A favorite plan is to add to the secur-
tiles listed, but experience has shown that
1t is one thing to have them on the list
and quite another to have them at all
active in the trading. The suggestion has
been made from time to time that the Sc
curltleS of the banks and of other inter-
ests in Alexandria ought to be included.
1t is probable there would be no objec-
ton to adopting that suggestion or any
other with the same object, providing it
could be shown that the expected result
would follow.
Lanston sold somewhat higher today
than was the case yesterday. A couple OF
lots went for 1875 instead of 1872. which
was the selling price yesterday. One OF
the brokers bid 1870 for loo shares or
for any part, without getting any stock.
which might indicate that the holders OF
the stock expecting higher levels.
While that was the bid for a quotation
lot. the asking price was 1874, but the
buyers appeared to be quite as scarce as
the sellers.
. The better price for Greene Copper
which has lately been established, was
maintained today, so that the bid for the
stock was again II. The asking price was
only quarter of a point in advance but
there was no trading.
The latest news In the copper field Is
to the effect that efforts are still being
made to bring together the principal pro-
ducers into a sort of working agreement
as to output, with the view of regulating
and determining the market price OF this
commodity. There Is no intention to make
anything like a stock combination, but
merely an agreement, as is quite common
in other branches of industry.

LONDON, October 2O.-The adverse
monetary conditions operated to depress
consols and other gilt-edged investment
issues in the late trading this afternoon.
Among foreign government bonds the
Turkish issues showed greatest firmness.
South African mining shares closed weak.
and copper stocks failed to recover any
Of their earlier loss.
In the American department prices
were declining at the close of the stock
exchange day and ruled fiat on the curb.
While there are those who insist that the
Bank of England's rate of discount will
be- further advanced tomorrow, it seems
to be the opinion of those best placed to
have information that such action will
not be taken, and bets are being made at
4 per cent will be continued. Rio Tintos

THE DARK OF THE MOON.
A Result That Is Produced by the Light
From the Earth.

Many people have wondered why the
part of the moon that receives no sun
light is often visible to us, the term
being the "old moon in the young
moons arms" The dark part is easily
seen as copper colored globe repos-
ing in the bright crescent. This that
we see is nothing more or less than
the earth shine on the moon. We APP
pear the same way to the moon when
we are in that phase. and our dark
part is where the moonshine appears
and the bright part Of the sunshine.
The reason the copper color appears
Is because light has to traverse the
atmosphere of the earth three times
once on coming from the sun to the
earth. once when reflected to the
moon and again on being reflected
back to US. Our atmosphere possesses
the peculiar property of absorbing the
blue rays of this white light and al
lowing only the red and orange to GO
through, thus causing the appearance
Of copper color by the triple ABSORB
ton.
An odd thing connected with this
phenomenon. though having nothing
to do with IL. Is this: That part 81 thS
moon which appears dark to us Is tbs
SAME. .part of the earth that appear.
