Rear Admiral Schroeder, W re
training the men in his feet down IN
Guantanamo bay. has discovered that
some $500 OF them don't know how
to swim. and he reports to WASN'T. T.
ton that he has taken measures 10

It seems rather remarkable that
sailors. with large amounts of water
always conveniently. near, should lack
an art which so many landsmen Ins.
sess OF which sailor is at any o.
ment likely to be In more or less dos-
perate need. 1t is a fact. however.
that seamen, as a class, swim far to
seek, for, when one comes to thlS

worst thing In the world from which
to go in swimming, and the sailors
opportunities for taking to the water,
except by an accident, which, With
good reason. he avoids as long aB ne
can, are much less numerous than
those of the man ashore. Out at sea
there is none at all. and while in port
the sailor is otherwise occupied
chiefly in spending hard-earned
money.

According to J. Dy5owski a I'o-
gressive desiccation Of the air and
soil is manifest in the region Of the
sudan, the underlying cause being the
destruction of the original forests,
Cape Verde is cited AS an example In
the eighteenth century the botauist,
Adanson. described Il as covered with
a vast forest. whence its name. Now
the forests are gone the rivers are a.
minished, sheets of water have diaap
peared. and the productiveness OF the
soil Is failing. until IN many places The
region has become almost sterile. The

SHOOTING at storms.

Another popular belief has been
rudely shaken as the result Of n scl=n.
tific investigation, There has not been
much heard Of late about producing
rain by the discharge Of explosives,
but the belief in the eficacy OF can.
non in breaking up hailstorms has
been more persistent In the vine
growing regions Of France and Italy
the injury done by hailstOrms is =
very serious matter. and the firing of
cannon has come into quite general
use as means CT prevention. But
now comes from United States Consul
Sharp. Of Lyons. a series Of articles
giving the conclusions arrived at by
the French department of commits
siOns Of meteorology showing it's dis
belief in the efficacy OF the practice.
1t does not find that the firing OF can
non is at all beneficial for the par
pose OF dispensing hailstOrms.

Favorable Weather Causes Early De. cline In Corn and the Close Is Lower-Oats Close Lower and
 Provisions Higher.

Chicago, January 31.-crains ruled low CT at the close of the day. after ses- sion marked by fluctuations within com paratively marrow limits. Provisions ad- vanced steadily through the day on & strong demand.
 Enormous arrivals at the grain centers, more than trebling those of the same day last year when storms delayed transpor- tation, bore heavily on the market here today and caused an initial decline in wheat quotations, fair cash demand mal- ing stubborn resistence to the bear raids, which were supported by notable in crease in the visible supply. For time the bulls had the best of the argument and May wheat went up from $1.10ia to s1-11ss91. .111f. The close was weak with May at $1 .101za1 .1o5s. Ac lower than Sat urday's final figures.
 In the corn pit an initial decline was caused by selling induced by the favor able weather for transportation of the grain. Soon afterward eastern demand developed and crowded the market away from the opening figures. The rally ran sHc iAoAhOS dP 6ShNk%hy V4o- " AlCi litC wheat prices started to slide downward. corn followed and fell off from 1ac to ssc from the high points. May declining from 687sc to 6614o. The close was weal1-in all the futures. with May at esssc. 14c lower than Saturdays close.
 Oats followed the same general course as corn, falling off on the start because of large arrivals, improving on flair shipping demand and slumping when wheat declined. The early rally carried prices up from Ac to 2sc, May travelling to 46%o from 4e9461sc. The later set back was less marked than in the other grains. The close was weak with May at 46ssc. so lower than the final quotations Saturday.
 Strong sentiment and light offerings in provisions caused firm tone all along the line. pork closing from BOG to 40c high CT, lard from PC to 25c higher and ribs from 221Ac to BOG higher.
 The principal buying was attributed to packing interests. which entered the mar ket early. despite comparatively large receipts of live hogs. The advance was practically uniform and was not seriously checked at any time.

SMALL ADVANCE IN
 COTTON MARKET Prices Gradually Improve on
 General Demand LITTLE COTTON OFFERED Reports from the Interior Show No Weakness on the Part of Holders
 and Southern Spots Are
 Unchanged.
LITTLE COTTON OFFERED

New York, January 31.--The cotton mar ket was quiet and generally steadier to-
 day as there was nothing in the news
 to confirm Saturdays rumors of an
 easier spot situation in the south and
 the close was steady at net advance
 of to IA points.
 The opening was steady at a decline
 of points to an advance of 2 points, near positions lower, with late months frmer on numerous reports from the southwest claiming that the precipita- tion so far this winter had not been
 sufficient to put a good season in the ground in view of the abnormally dry
 weather of the preceding 12 months. Lo- cal professionals took the short side
 at the start and there was some ir-
 regularity during the early session, but
 prices gradually improved on trade buy
 ing and a demand from foreign houses. The south did a little selling here dur ing the early trading, but the offerings were not aggressive enough to suggest an easier spot situation and the market gradually firmed up during the afternoon when early sellers turned to cover and | found very little cotton offering around l the ring. After advancing to 14.89c for March and 14.4sc for May, or 15 to Is | points net higher, realizing caused a slight reaction, the close being a few points off from the best with March at 1435c and May at 1441c
 Private wires received from various in- terior points during the day reported no
 weakness on the part of interior hold CTS, and southern spot markets official ly early were unchanged. The situation in Texas with reference to new crop
 prospects is attracting a great deal of
 attention In the trade at the moment, as that state is largely looked to for
 such increase as there may be in the l yield.
 Precipitation so far this winter has been heavier than was the case last | winter but well known local houses are receiving reports claiming that more rain
 is urgently needed to put sufficient mois-
 ture in the ground to carry the crop
 through a possible dry growing season.
