I ARE BADLY sTUMc
Washington Crowd Has Tip on At
torney- Generals Plan To File Suit
and Makes Big Killing.

NEW YORK. June s.-wall-st. had
a real headache today. The smart
fnanciers. the men who In the past
have SO mercilessly ''ieeced the
lambs" are sore and they snarl when
spoken to. They had been whip
sawed" and the Job was pulled on by
the very element that In the past has
been considered fair meat by the sharp
bulls and bears
A week ago yesterday the market
Was quiet. Speculation was confined
10 the professional element. Prices
were at good level and brokers were
preparing to take lengthy summer
vacation. Then came food Of selling
orders seemingly out Of the clear sky.
BEFORE the brokers could interfere,
values. especially Of the so-called
standard railroad shares. had been
criven down. Panicky conditions pre-
vailed before II was learned that the
selling orders originated In Washing
ton and immeditely following the loca-
ton Of their source came the All
i,ouncement that the encouragement
had decided to institute an injunction
suit against the railroads which would
result In the dissolution of the pool
agreement and keep rates from ad-
vancing.
But before this news was thoroughly
digested the insiders" had skinned
the milk and taken away the cream.
All OF the money came from the specu-
lative element In the street and Il Was
the stocks that were held to be unload
ed on the lambs that were depressed
in value. The paper loss for the day
than $100.000,000 In the entire stock
list.
Then London came to the rescue
and the market rallied slightly. re-
naming In fair shape until Monday.
when the western railroad presidents
conferred with President Taft That
conference was late In the day, but
an hour before the market closed I'm
spired" information leaked out In the
street that there would be no agree
ment reached.
Values broke again. The profession
ais fell over each other to sell and
sctual panic conditions prevailed for
t5 minutes. Then mysterious buying
orders appeared and all OF the stand
ard railroad shares were picked up"
In hurry at bargain prices.
The market opened yesterday with
all stocks up three to eight points and
the professionals who sold so cheer
fully the day before had to pay the
higher prices to deliver the goods. All
day yesterday they sought to locate
the source of the smart buying OF the
final Is minutes of Monday, but not
until today did II develop that It was
The same slick crowd OF Washing
tonians and their allies that had orig
lnally sold the market before the at
torney general began his suit.
They had caught the street going
and coming. The hysterical selling OF
the day before had been arranged so
hat they could get the stocks they
'eeded at bargain prices and the slick
,rokers fell for the game.
No one In the street today would
aazard a guess how much money the
smart element took away at the ex-
,ense OF the professionals. but IL was
admittedly very large sum.

Adai Stevenson In something OF

Possibly since the foundation of the
government no statesman has been so
completely idolIzcd by his friends ard
party as WAS Iienry Clay. Nur.s are
meaningless when the attempt is made
to express the idolatry of tA" Wings
OF his own state for their great chief

his last defeat for the presidency

party Of which he was the fcuAGer
In words worthy to be recalled, when
the tidn.s came like ailing over the
state that Harry rercy's spur was
cold the chivalrous felt somehow the
worll had grown commonplace"
The following incident along the line
indicated may be considered charac-
terlett' While Mir. Clay was a sCna-
tor a resolution. in accordance with
some time custom, was h.trCGucCu

MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS.
May Be Measured by Means Of an
Ordinary Thermometer.


Heights Of mountains or Of airships
can be measured by means OF all Ordi-
nary thermometer. The greater the
pressure OF the atmosphere on the sur
face OF water the greater temperature
It takes to boil it, AS we rise in the
air less and less pressure OF the air
occurs. and water will boil at Il lower
temperature than 100 degrees c. (cl2
degrees F. 1t has been figured out
that for a few miles up for every
thousand feet Of ascent water will
boil Il degree lower. Thus II ut the
bottom OF Il mountain water boils at
90 degrees c. (21O.2 degrees F. and at
the top ut 9S degrees {. (20S4 degrees
F. the mountain Is thousand feet
high.
In government and other scientific
work extremely delicate thermometers
are used. They are long. SO that the
scales may be divided into fractions
the work Is termed u thermobarome-
ter. or hypsometer. 1t consists Of
small metallic vessel for boiling wa.
ter. on the inside OF which are placed
these delicate thermometers. GanOt
says that the accuracy Of the height
Of IL mountain can be obtained within
ten feet by means OF these instru-
ments. 1t is probably not quite that
accurate, az the pressure Of air does
not decrease uniformly AS we ascend.
Nevertheless 1t IL a good adjunct to
the surveyor taking largely variable
profles.
OF course the ordinary instrument
for taking heights without actually
measuring them is the barometer.
This is open to the same objection as
the thermometer. for its height de-
pends on the pressure Of air, which
does not decrease uniformly. How
ever. 1t can be graduated to an en-
pirical scale to tell the heights and In
that case shows accuracy.-Chicago

ossian<A For Ten horses, II Took Fifty
10 Move It.
What Is said to be the largest plow
In the world was AIade some years
ago at Bakersfield, Cal. This plow
was the result Of the ingenuity of a
ranch superintendent who had authorl-
ty to make improvements, but not to
introduce steam plows. The superin-
tendent had grown very tired Of pre-
pairing 5000 acres Of land for wheat
with ordinary nine or twelve inch
plows drawn by two horses.
lie argued that IL two horses could
pull a twelve inch plow six horses
could pull a plow thirty-six inches
wide and that eight horses could pull
a plOw fOrty-eight inches wide. He
made the calculations carefully. and.
being clever with his pencil, also made
drawings and sent for blacksmlths and
machinists to construct a Ylow on his
principle.
Some simple folk told him that his
great plOw would not work. but they
cOntented themselves with saying this
dogmatically without giving any math-
ematical reason therefor So the s,i-
perintendent went on with his plans.
The blacksmiths and machinists fin-
ished the plow In due time. The share
was made to cut fifty inch furrOw.
The top Of II reached FIVE feet above
the ground to give room to throw the
foot thick, but the machine was con-
structed to run between two great
wheels. so that II could be turned
around easily. aud on the axle between
these wheels was the seat for the man
who was to drive the ten horses which
were hitched to 1t.
The plOw was brought to the great
field, the ten horses were attached to
1t. the handles were raised. the driver
mounted his seat. and the team was
started But as soon as the share
struck well into the ground the horses
stopped short. They were stuck fast.
And yet the plow had not gone too
deeply into the earth. But It was evil
dent that they could not pull the plow.
More horses were brought out but not
until fifty were attached did the plow
move along.
Even then It required four men to
hold the handles In order to keep the
plOw in the furrow. 1t was an eco
nOmic failure
Then the superintendent. through
the Intervention Of some one who was
a better mathematician than he. learn
ed that he should have cubed the ca
pacity OF his twelve inch plow every
time he doubled the width Of it.-Har-
