Washington Letter.
By Tavenner.


printed a statement following the
recent disturbance in the steel
market to the effect that the
furry cused a decline in steel
shares of approximately one hun
dred million dollars.
In the three days Of the
furry nearly one third of the
trust $500, 100000 Of common
stock was sold on the Stock ex-
cange in such volume that the
price was carried to new levels,
thus showing that the one hun
dred millions in decline represent
the amount of money it is worth
to the trust to be considered
immune from the operation Of
the Sherman law.
Nothing has happened to i'm
dicate that anything is wrong
with the intrinsic value Of the
steel properties. The mills are
working as usual, and are in ex-
aetly the same state of efficiency
they were in two years ago when
the stock was selling at its high
water mark. The shrinkage came
because Of rumors that the
trust was to be prosecuted, and
as the business-the real bust
ness Of the trust was
not injured in any way
the one hundred millions simply
represents the excess profits the
trust stood to lose in the event
Of dissolution under the applica-
ton of the Sherman Law. In
other words the shrinkage serves
as a measure Of the value to the
trust Of a licence to violate the
law. When that licence was
threatened the trusts shares fell
Immediately, and this fall in.
prices, simply as the result Of a
scare, is pretty sure to be used
by the Democrats as an argu-
ment for making securities keep
down to their real value through
an enforcement of the antitrust
law.
Commenting on the fail Of steel
prices, Chairman Stanley Of the
House committee with Just
now is investigating the steel
trust, said that nothing could
better demonstrate the necessity
of enforcing the antitrust law.
1T is obvious, Mr.. Stanley
said, ''that the reason steel
stocks fell a hundred million
dollars is because the trust was
operating under an assumption of
immunity from prosecution I'M
der the antitrust act. The in
slant that immunity was threat
ened, the stocks fell. The very
insecurity of the basis on which
the trust rests, and thus shown,
is sufficient reason for an appli-
cation Of the law that will com
pell the steel millionaires to put
their business on a more legiti-
mate foundation. Otherwise
their stockholders will always
be apprehensive, and their meth
DDS open to suspicion
That it was this fear of losing
its license to violate the law
which caused the steel trust to
suffer is indicated that the
break" in stocks applied to no
other securities. Nor was there
any indication Of a lessening Of
the demand for the products Of
the trust. Market conditions re-
manned normal; the stocks of
some Of the railroads increasing.
The "steel furry was proof
positive that the shrinkage in
stocks, under the conditions
named, reveals that the steel
TRUSTS licence to ignore the
law is worth a hundred million
dollars to the trust.

Dogs that work in Belgium are
bought and sold in the open market
like horses, and If strong and well
broken they bring from 500 to $25
each. In manufacturing towns there
is the usual number Of horses, but for
every horse you will see two dogs in
harness on the streets Early in the
morning market women drive them
hitched to carts loaded down with veg
etables. The grocer, the expressman,
the butcher and baker, all employ
dogs to do the work of horses. They
are much quicker than the horse, and
size for size they can draw a heavier
load 1t is said the dog in harness

They are sleek and well kept and ap-

A Dron Of Water,

Figures are sometimes impressive
simply by being so stupendous that
the human mind grasps them with
difficulty. An instance in point is az
forded by the illustration once offered
to his hearers by an eminent scientist.

Giles of water, stated that IL he was to
empty a tumbler containing half
pint of water, letting out each second
a number equal to 1000 times the
population of the earth, it would re-
quire somewhere between 100000
and 100000 years to empty the tum-
bier. Lord Kelvin has assured us that
If drop of water was magnified to
the size of the earth the particles
would be between the size Of cricket
balls and footballs. II that statement
is correct the drops Of water in all the
oceans are not many times so numer-
Gus as the particles. or molecules, in
single drop.-St Louis Republic.

When Baronets We're Bold.

1t was in the reign Of good King
James that baronets first came into
existence. Today you could hardly tell
baronet from banker. But in the
year 1911, when James I. needed ready
money and created 200 little barons"
to supply him with cash. they swag-
gered about in their baldrics and SASH
es and behaved in the courtliest Of
fashion. Each baronet in order to
justify his title had to maintain a
small army Of thirty soldiers for three
years In this way the crafty king
not only increased his revenue. but
actually lightened his expenses.
1t Is not generally known that the
title Of "baronetess" has twice been
bestowed on women. One Of these was
the mother Of a Dutch general The
other was Nottingham lady named
Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way
into the good graces Of Charles l. and
received the title from his hands,

Whan Ha Was BAD.

II has been said that you never know
a man till you travel with him, and
certainly travelling has a tendency to
bring out all the depravity innate in
human nature. Out Of this test. how.
ever, Benjamin Disraeli emerged with
flying colors. This is what was said
Of him by Mrs. Austen, who with her
husband Travelled with him when he
was quite a young man, as related in
Mr.. MOnypenny's biography:
Your brother" she says (the letter
was addressed to Dlsraeli's sister, sis
SO easily pleased, so accommodating,
so amusing and so actively kind that

dc part of our journey with the great

bad. and this happens almost daily"

FooI6srdy snsk. Keeper.

The only fatal case of snake bite on
record in the London geological gar.
dens was directly due to the foolish
ness Of the victim. He was in charge
Of the snakes and, coming in one
morning with some friends, began to
boast of his power over the creatures
and the extent to which they would
submit to be played with by one whom
they knew. This led to practical ex-
periments. The overconhdent keeper
took an Indian cobra from its COM
Portable sleeping place and, declaring
he was a snake charmer, proceeded to
swing 1t about his head and play other
tricks with It. A native snake charm
er would have known there was no
more certain way to rouse the snakes
temper than this, for the race abhors
rough handling or sudden movement
Of any sort. The result Of the exploit
was that the keeper was bitten on the
nose. He was hurried of to the hos
pital, but died In a few hours.-Londou
