NEW YORK. June 14.-War Street
trading is degenerating into a scalping
proposition-nothing more nor less. FL
nancial interests may take flyers oc-
casionally, but so long as there is no
show of any serious declines they will
let it alone. Trading is almost entirely
between scalpers, who are so careful
and anxious for the profits that they
seldom let an eighth get away from
them. This plan % trading is not cor
duciVe to much strength or weakness,
because the scalpers operate both ways,
buying and selling and gathering in the
fractions or standing fractional losses.
Commission houses admit that the pub
lie is doing little or nothing in the mar
ket, and. while advising the purchase
of the best rails on all reactions, are
cautious on the theory that the crop
situation is one that may well cause
hesitation. With the exception of the
spring wheat States. where crop con-
ditions are said to be exceptionally
favorable the reports are not at all en-
couraging; drought and heat having
given winter wheat, cotton, and in some
sections, corn a serious setback.
The encouraging feature of the sit
uation is that there is not much stock
weakly held. When traders make a
drive for a break they have little re-
suit for their efforts and in like man
ner when shorts try to cover they find
little stock to be had. Just as soon
as this support is withdrawn the mar
ket turns the other way. as a rule.
Advances are not sustained and when
the market looks the best II frequent
ly turns the other way on the taking
of profits. 1t is not a satisfactory
market to anyone.
Wall Street does not expect any adj
verse legislation from Congress. II
long since came to this conclusion,

Montclair, N. Club women from

Professor Frankforter of University
of Minnesota Makes Discovery OF
Importance.

St. Paul, Minn.-Prof. George b.
Frankforter. dean of the College or
Chemistry of the Minnesota State uni
yersity, has announced the details of a
discovery made by him by which, he
declares, through the utilization OF
waste wood and sawdust the United
States will produce one hundred times
more pulp wood than was believed
possible.
TT MEANS" he says, that every
cord of fir lumber will yield $40 profit
on by-products alone, and that the
greater part of the so per cent. of a
tree now wasted will be turned into
dollars and cents.
Professor Frankforter predicts that
huge plants will be built as the result
Of his discovery and that the new In
dustry will assume proportions OF
great magnitude.
C. A. Smith, of the G. A Smith Tim
Der company, is interested with Pro
lessor Frankforter in the process. So
convinced is he of the enormous com
mercial value of the discovery that an
experimental plant is now being con-
structed. and a mammoth plant is al
ready planned, to be erected in the
far west.

Clay Diggers Unearth Steps of
Temple of Sacrifice.
Discovery of Aztec Temple, Antedat.
ing Invasion of Mexico by Spanish
Under fernando Cortez, by
Possibly Centuries.

San Antonio, Texas.-If Indian clay
diggers and potters are to be be-
lieved mysterious lights at night, and
strange sounds during the day, at a
site near San Miguel AmaZtla have
led to the discovery of an Aztec tenn
pie antedating the invasion of Mexico
by the Spanish under fernando Cor
tez by possibly centuries. Since time
immemorial the Indians in the vicin
ity have claimed that both the lights
and the noise had been observed by
many and it has been impossible to
get any of them to approach the scene
of the alleged phenomenon-a mound
located to one side of a narrow lane
leading from the AtzcapotZalcoSan
tiago Ahuixotli road to the village of
San Miguel. Recently, however, some
of them were induced to dig clay near
the base of the mound and in the
progress of their work they came
across the steps Of a teocalli, one Of
the pyramid temples of the AZtecs.
When first found the ruins were
thought to be those of an old ranch
house or granary, but soon unmistak-
able signs of their prehistoric char
acter were met. So far little eXcava-
ton work has been done. Above the
temple, says the Mexican Daily Rec
ord, early Spanish farmers had erect
ed low circular wall, the Enclosure
being used for the thrashing of grain.
This wall was torn down few weeks
ago and under it and at the base of
the temple wall were found idol stat
uettes, broken pottery ashes and
bones thought to originate with
human sacrifices made to appease the
wrath of Huitziopochitli, the great god
of the Aztec system of religion. At
depth Of ten feet below the present
soil surface a cement floor was found
and under it more Aztec statuettes,
pottery and human bones. Here also
the remains of an older wall were
discovered.
In view of the fact that the base of
the temple Is ten feet below the pres
ent surface of the ground, there is lit
tie doubt that the structure Is very
old one Possibly the surface of the
mound represents the platform of the
teocalli. The fact that ashes and
bones were found on 1t is ample proof
that such is the case. The Mexican
teocalli, or temple, was pyramid OF
earth faced with stone, and on its
summit stood the sacrificial stone on

stand, runs 105 feet on Ohio, 21S on
Cass and $50 feet on Ontario, situated
directly behind the Studio building,
which fronts on State street.
Messrs Huehl and Schmidt are the
architects for the new building, and
Mr.. Huehl, with a large staff of assist
ants, is personally at work on the draw
ings. The first floor, underneath the
auditorium. will be occupied by the
banqueting rooms. The auditorium
proper will be in the form of a great
theater, seating over 4,500 people, a
capacity as large as the Auditorium
theater before the recent alterations.
There will be three tiers, the first floor
seating 1880, the balcony will have
capacity of 1872, and the gallery will
hold $3.50 persons. Then there will be
numerous boxes besides.
There will be large parlors, candi-
dates rooms, rooms for the caretaker,
for the Arab patrol and for the bands,
in the two wings on each side of the
stage. A magnificent new organ is to
be part of the equipment.
While it has been definitely settled
that the style of architecture shall be
Turkish, it has not been finally deter
mined of what material the building
shall be constructed. Mr.. Huehl said
he hoped to be able to use terra Gotta
and brick. In Turkey, however, they
use for their elaborate effects a red
freestone which they can cut almost
like butter, and SO get the most or
nate decorative results with little cost
There, too, the climate is not quite as
strenuous as it is here, and the flight
of time does not leave upon buildings
such perceptible damage. Another i'm
portant consideration is the fact that
to get the same decorative effect with
terra Gotta the expense in this coun
try would be enormous.
Il would be more like engraving
than sculpture work. said Mr.. Huehl,
and the men who do this work charge
seven dollars day
Arrangements have been almost
completed for the sale of the present
temple to Oriental Consistory when the
Shriners of Medinah temple move into
their new home. Members of Medinah
temple bewail the fact that they have
to leave their present building, which
has always been very much admired.
The move was a necessity, however,
since they have quite outgrown their
present quarters, and it is barely pos
sible to get their members into the
building, much less into the auditorium,
on any special occasion There are
5000 members of Medinah temple liv-
ing today They are scattered all over
the world, but 5000 of them live in
Cook county, and their present hall
holds barely LOO persons.

PULP WOOD FROM WASTE

Doctor Frankforter has experiment
ed on his processes for twelve years.
The developed process consists in TAX
ing small pieces of waste wood or
sawdust, laying them on steel in
cline over a furnace, and subjecting
them to a chemical process of distilla-
ton. Carbon disuiphide or gasoline
is poured over the sawdust, dissolv-
ing the turpentine and resin, which
pass off as gases into coil of pipes
leading to a tank. The process is
similar to the distillation of sugar.
The wood pulp remains, free from
pitch and suitable for the mannfac-
ture of paper The present method OF
distillation leaves the pulp in the form
of charcoal
