LONDON FIRE A MYSTERY
Telegraphic Service Will Be
Virtually Normal To day.

London, Aug. 25.-The fire which oc-
CURED I'm the General Postofice last night
and which for three hours cut all tele-
graphic communication between London
and the outside world, was the cause OF
less dislocatiCn Of the central Geographic
system than was at first expected.
Temporary cxpedients connecting to the
lines from the Stock Exchange, the tele-
phone trunk lines. etc, enabled the CEN
tral office TO clear up the congestion Of
megsages. and the engineers so well util-
tied the Sunday interval that the officials
promise that virtually normal conditions
will obtain tomorrow.
The origin Of the fire still remains
mystery, and an investigation into hs
cause will be opened.

RIOTING FRENCH STUDENTS.

theater and continued their work of de-
Struction.
Things eventually grew So serious that
the dean. NJ. Croset. called in the police.
After half an hours struggle in the CEN

were expelled from the Sorbonne. A num-

The Ticker's Psychology.
ST Iouis Post Di.patct

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
Possibly to offset the sullen humors and
vapors of the warm spell, a naive and
refreshing preachment emanates from
Wall street, entitled The Psychology OF
the Stock Market"
The writer presents it as a practical
help to that considerable part of the
community which is interested, directly
or indirectly, in the markets, but it is
hoped that 1T may also have some scien-
tifc value as preliminary discussion
in a new field, where opportunities for
further research seem almost unlim-
tied"
Come to think of it. the ticker must
have a psychology. 1t has seemed to
be psychic at times. 1t is tempera-
mental. highly 1t is moody. morbid
or buoyant by turns; 1t is mercurial
volatile. almost irresponsible at certain.
or, rather, uncertain periods. But that
a student, "A writer. theoriZer and
maker of books should undertake to
penetrate its Utmost psychology and to
indicate its mental springs. furnishes us
with some of the most innocent amuse-
ment of the summer thus far. If young
man could really see into the ticker and
tell what it was making up its mind to
do next he would hardly have time or
inclination TO do any philosophical and
philanthropic tipstering or taking the
world into his confidence in books. In
fact, he would not be put to the neces-
sty of writing books for a living.
On the other hand, if an old clairvoyani

The boys on Washington Heights who
have spare umbrellas at home have dis
money to spend on their vacations. Visit
any of the subway stations on the hill
some rainy evening and you will see how
the boys of that section manage to col
lect their pocket money.
On the heights the subway stations are
not located as near each other as they
are downtown. Therefore people residing
i'm the numerous flats and apartments
have much farther to walk TO reach their
homes. On pleasant evenings the walk
is delightful especially when one has
ridden in the heated subway for amy
length of time Rainy evenings condi-
tons are different. Every one knows
that it is not a pleasant experience 10 be
caught without an umbrella by sudden
storm when the dinners are on the tables
and the folks at home growing anx-
ioLs because the regular arriving home
hour has come and gone.
The boys on the heights We're quick TO
realize all this, and they soon learned
that by bringing their spare umbrellas
down TO the subway stations when SUD
den storm had driven people TO shelter
they could md all the customers tnes
wanted who would only be TOO gial 10
hire the umbrellas from them. rather
than ruin their clothes and straw hats
