claonatra'a Pearl.

Most persons know the story. that Is
told Of Cleopatra to illustrate her lux
urious habits Of living-that she dis--
solved In her wine a precious pearl.
No one seems vet to have questioned
what must have been the effect upon
the drink, but scientists scott at the
possibility OF such solution. The fact
is pearls are not soluble III wine. The
most powerful vinegar Affects them
slowly and never entirely dissOlves
them. for the organic matter remains
behind IN the shape Of a spongy mass
that is larger than the original penrl.--:

The Danger Of lying In Bed.

Lack of muscular exercise is the nrS
result OF lying III bed. As a result the
appetite is weakened. the digestive &C.
ton slows down and the muscles OF the
stomach and abdomen cease to act
upon the intestinal mass. When the
body is in a recumbent position the
heart works with the least expenditure
Of effort and the least fatigue ana the
circulation and the functional activity
are decreased. But unless the s1b]ect
Is exceptionally vigorous all the pelle'

Before adjournment for luncheon
Reid said that the merger controlled
but SO 7-10 per cent OF the tinplate
business.
When the hearings were resumed
John A. Brown, son OF Henry p. Brown
acted as commissioner in charge OF
the examination. Reid was asked by
Jacob NJ Dickson as to his business
relations. A clash between the attor-
neys followed the first question Reid
replied by merely giving his position
OF chairman Of the Rock Island rail-
road board. He was asked II he own
ed steel stock and replied he did. Dick
inson wanted to know how much and
Attorney Lindabury, for the steel trust,
objected. Lindabury held that IT would
be sufficient TO say whether the hold
ings were large or small. Dickinson
insisted upon a more definite answer
and Commissioner Brown upheld him.
Reid then refused to answer the ques-
ton.
Reds memory bothered him. He
was asked If he had exchanged tin
plate and steel stock and upon what

NEW YORK. May 13.-That s10.-
100000 OF the capital stock OF the
American Tinplate Co.. was distributed
among its organizers, was admitted
by Daniel G. Reid, It's president, on the
witness stand today, in the govern
ments suit for the dissolution of the
Steel corporation. The statement
came following questioning by former
Secretary OF War Jacob M, Dickinson,
special representative OF the govern
ment.
What is the amount OF common
stock OF the American Tinplate Coz"
asked Dickinson.
Eighteen million dollars" replied
Reid.
How much preferred stock?" ask
ed Dickinson.
Eighteen millions" answered Reid.
Don't you know. Mr.. Reid" said
Dickinson, THAT the total capitaiza-
lion of the American Tinplate Co. to-
day is $46,0O0,000? What became of
the difference OF $10,000,000?"
Il don't know. | guess II was dis
tributed among the organizers. | got
some OF il, answered Reid.
Reid, who appeared to be suffering
from an intermittent memory while
being examined by Dickinson recov-
cred TO a great extent when taken in
hand by G. A. Severance for the Steel
corporation and in answer to ques-
lions asserted that the formation OF
the Tinplate corporation alone saved a
number OF companies from going TO
the scrap heap
Reid insisted that few il any OF the
companies were making any money
and said that a number Of them were
in great distress. He declared EN-
phatically that the formation of the
merger did not establish a monopoly.
At the present time there are 235 CONF
panies in the merger and 202 indie
pendent companies. Many of the indie
pendents had come into the field, he
said, since the organization of the
merger
Several times Dickinson and the wit
ness were near to angry words. Dick
inson did not spare his witness and at
one time Reid explaining the presence
OF list he had secured from the Steel
