New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-There was
considerable short covering and buy
ing for a rally during the first half
hour this morning on the tirmness in
Liverpool and renewal of support by
bull brokers, but there was so much
southern selling and liquidation by
old longs that the demand was soon
satisfied and when the reaction in
terests tried TO get out there was a
sharp break. Several attempts were
made TO bid prices up. but the wealth
er over the greater portion of the belt
was so favorable that there was no
incentive for new buying. Finally
prices broke violently on liquidation
for some of the most important bulls,
when it became evident that south
west Texas might get good rains with

markets were easier and there was no
indication of a demand urgent enough

conversation with a railroad official. she
had the idea that q divorce can be OBJ
tanned in the Reno courts within two
weeks, so she felt cafe in purchasing a

heard that one must reside here at least
six months to have the marriage tie
severed. there wal nothing to do but
take the next train back.
Mrs. Trowbridge seemed terribly dis.
sa%ppointed when she found she could not

LUMP GASOLINE FOR AUIOlSIS
Solid Fuel For Motor Cars Is
Latest Novelty In the
Auto World

Solid gasoline is attracting consider
able attention at present among eastern
manufacturers. The new product Is
perfectly transparent and in the form
of a jelly OF . consistency that permits
its being handled and carried like any
other solid body. It can be q in
pieces and wrapped in paper or can be
conveyed in wooden or cardboard boxes.
It's proprieties are the same as liquid
gasoline. as its evaporation is very easy
and it's carbureting power intense. Upon
heating it does not melt into liquid gaso-
line, but ev~aporates. II ignited 10 burns
like wood or coal and the flame 10
easily be put out with o cloth. Solid
gasoline represents In bulk about 80 per
cent Of the bulk OF liquid gasoline.
Upon exposure to a slightly heated
current of air which 10 allowed TO
pass over the surface Of the solid fuel
a com bustible gas is yielded which is
excellent for motors. Owing to the
heat the gaseous mixture is dried and
perfectly c~arbureted before IL enters
the cylinders Of the motors. and there
fore the explosion Is greatly facilitated
aud the combustion In she cylinder has
time to take place under good condi-
lions before the exhaust begins.

DISCOVERY OF THE PACIFIC
Panama Canal Exposition Will
Nearly Celebrate Fourth Gen.
tenary of Ocean Discovery

Next year will be the four hundredtb
anniversary of the discovery of the Pa
cihc ocean According TO some histor-
ians the considerable stretch of water
between America and Asia was first
viewed by a white man from the shores
of the new world on the fifth Of Sep
tember, 1913. Just 500 years ago.
while others give the date as Sept. %.
San Francisco's proposed exposition
commemorating the opening Of the Pan
anna canal will thus come very near to
celebrating the fourth centenary Of the
discovery of the ocean.
Those who have experienced a storm
on the Pacific will incline to the opinion
that the ocean was named by Baron
Munchausep, famed for his disregard of
the veracities. Such was not the case.
1t was vasco Nnnez de Balboa. q Spar
lard, who first gszed out on b Pacific,
at q point not far distant from where
the 'big ditch" will soon onnect it
with the Atlantic. and who gave the
ocean its misleading name. In the
words of Keats:
with eagle eyes
He stared at the Pacific.-and all his
men
Looked at each other with a wild sur
mise
Silent, upon a peak in Darien."
The Darien referred to by the poet
is the isthmus Of hat name, often used
as synonymous with the isthmus Of
Panama, but more strictly applied to the
neck of land between the gulf of Darien
and the Pacific.
Balboa. q Spanish soldier Of fortune
who for a time was governor of His
paniola-now called Haiti-was firm
In the belief that another great ocean
would be found west of the American
mainland. In the late Summer Of 1913
he set forth with an expedition to
prove his surmise. Accompanied by
a small band of followers. he forced
bis way through the jungles Of the
isthmus Of Darien. and, with an In.
dian chief named Ponca as guide AS.
cended the summit of a mountain range.
Arrived on the heights, Balboa left his
followers bshind. and advancing alone
to the western ~decleviry. was the first
to vie the vast and unknown ocean.
The waters were remarkably quiet. sc
Balboa called his ocean the Pacific. Sur
rounded by his followers Balboa walked
into the water a little way. holding in
his right hand a sword and in his left
the banner Of CASTLE. and calmly AND
solemnly announced that the ocean aud
all the lands whose shores it bathed were
the property Of the crown of CASTLE and
Leon.
For thus adding to the dominions Of
his sovereign Balboa was not permitted
togo unrewarded. He was deprived Of
the governorship Of Hispaniola and had
his head chopped of.
