Why the Former Looks Favorably Upon the Latter-The Idea That He Can Control Radicalism in the In- terest of the Trusts. -

 A firm of New York stock brokers in its last circular on the market sit uation informs it's customers that fin the financial district signs are not wanting" of a trend in sentiment ''to- ward the former executive" And the plausible explanation given is "that Colonel Roosevelt during the remainder of the campaign is expect ed to pose as the friend of business and industry and that he will oppose interference by the government in any way that will cause unnecessary burdens upon business interests
 In the same circular "an interna- tional banker is quoted as saying: ''We are confronted with a wave of radicalism that is irresistible, a wave that cannot be turned back It can only be controlled.

Clam. That Drown Men,

Those of us whose acquaintance with clans embraces only the Little Neck variety are slow to think evil of any members of so delightful a family, but the inoffensive Little Neck has some big brothers who vigorously re- sent any attempt to pry into their per sonal affairs. Men have accidentally stepped into the open jaws of these huge clans at low tide, and the clans, closing their jaws, have held them fast until the tide rose, when the men were drowned Other men have reached for a lure in the form of luminous spot. The instant they touched it the shells of clam closed on their arms, and in a few minutes the men were drowned. Some of these clans that trap men are founded. imbedded in the coral reefs of the Pacific and Indian oceans, and the men captured are pearl divers. The flesh of one of these huge clans sometimes weighs twenty pounds, and added to that is the 800 pounds or more of shell The shell is sometimes five feet long by two and three-quar ters wide.-New York Herald.

The Moon,s MIssion

Some partisans of final causes have imagined that the moon was given to the earth to afford it light during the night, but in this case nature would not have attained the end proposed since we are often deprived at the same time of the light of both Sun and moon. To have accomplished this end it would have been sufficient to have placed the moon at first in opposition to the sun and in the plane of the clip tic at a distance from the earth equal to the one hundredth part of the dis tance of the earth from the sun and to have impressed on the earth and moon parallel velocities proportional to their distances from the sun. In this case the moon, being constantly in opposi- tion to the sun, would have described round 1t an ellipse similar to that of the earth. These two bodies would then constantly succeed each other, and as at this distance the moon could not be eclipsed its light would always replace that of the sun.-Laplace.

The Transformina Touch of Genius.

The genius in tailoring accomplishes without effort things that refuse to yield to the most determined efforts of the ordinary mortal He apparently creates out of nothing. His touch transforms the shape of the customer and the set of the garment. He molds the ungainly form into an Apollo, and the misfit garment falls into natural place in his hands. The lines of his draft are unapproachable, and his sys- tenn is infallible. He knows just when the shoulder is to be advanced or re- ceded; he understands intuitively just how much the waist is to be suppress ed or filled in and how much spring is required. He never makes a mistake, and if the journeyman ruins a gar ment beyond repair in the making the genius sets it right with few touches, even though to repair it is beyond the ordinary cutters skill.-Tailor and Gutter.
