NO WOODEN FURNITURE.
Our Navy Of Steel-Dangers of Flying
Splinters in Time of War to be
Minimized.

Every year the battle practice in
the American navy more closely APP
proximateS the conditions of actual
warfare.
In the spring practice of the Allan
tic feet this year the idea of Kidding
a ship as far as possible of combusti-
BILE materials and woodwork that
might cause splinters in action is to
be carried out so far that the officers
and men of some of the vessels may
not even sleep ION the soft side of
plank. ="
The plans contemplate the removal
of all wooden boats, the hunks and
the wooden furniture. Not even the
messtables will be left and the blue-
jackets will have to eat their meals
squatting tailor-fashion on deck.
More damage and loss of life have
resulted on shipboard in time of war
from suffocating fires and flying splint-
ers than from shot and shell wounds,
therefore it has be IN decided to deter
mine just how much woodwork can be
dispensed with when a craft clears
for action.
The spring practice of the fleet in
the West Indian waters, with Guam
tanamo as the base, will occupv
ten days more than two months, be-
ginning January 10. After that is
completed the big ships will come
north to the southern drill grounds
off the Chesapeake capes for the
regular battle practice.

Snodgrass Will
Stay with Giants.

New York Oct 29.-Persistent re-
ports that the New York National
League baseball club would dispense
with The services of Fred Snodgrass
as a result Of his costly error in the
last Worlds Series game are set at
rest in a statement given out here by
John j. McGraw, manager of the
Giants. He says:
Il do not blame Fred Snodgrass in
the least for his failure TO catch that
fly ball in the last game of the World S
Series at Boston Snodgrass is a val
liable and conscientious player and
he viii be a member of the Giants,
next season His failure TO make the
catch is something that would happen
but once in a thousand cases and ]
want to say that he is deserving of
sympathy for this failure. 1t hurts him
more Keenly than il hurts anyone else.
In this connection | may say that !
feel even worse for Mathewson than
for Snodgrass. as Matty pitched three
excellent games without winning any
of them There never was and never
will be another pitcher like Matty.'

An Oak Mine.

5 Mines of wood are found in the south
of Russia, where they were discovered
very recently when the bed of "A river
was dragged. Not very deep in the
earth but covering an extent of 700
square kilometers forest of oaks was
found where it had been buried by some
unknown cataclysm centuries ago. The
wood is in perfect preservation. The
man who found the entombed forest has
drawn from his mine many trunks of
trees measuring from 40 to so meters
high and at least is inches in diameter
The mine is worth a fortune, for the
wood is of the first quality and as a
result of it's long rest underground it
has taken the most varied colors, rang
ing from dark to pale rose and running
through all the shades of blue and yell
low. One hundred and fifty thousand of
the ancient oaks have been turned over
to the cabinet makers.-Harper's Weekly.

FROM THE HUNTING GROUNDS

who arrived on Grand Manan two OF
three weeks ago with two black foxes in
his possession, which he valued at $4,000.
This man was enthusiastic on the sub
iect of raising and breeding black foxes
for the market, as each skin would
readily bring from $1,000 to 5000. ON the
strength of this assertion, the Standard
says, one man in Grand Manan who has
been extensively engaged in breeding
red foxes, will abandon that and go in
TO breeding black foxes. Now we will
venture to wager bet with that gentle
man that If he has the luck to procure
two black foxes to breed from, and has
the good fortune to raise 100000 foxes,
he will get 99,999 red foxes, notwith-
standing the fact that he started with
black foxes. 1T is well-known fact
that black and silver gray foxes are
simply freaks of Nature. There is only
one variety of fox known TO naturalists,
and that is the common red fox Mr..
Seton Thompson is the authority .or this
statement. and there is none better. A
mans chance of getting black or sill
yer gray fox would be one in a million.
And again, the fabulous prices said to
have been paid for black and silver
grey fox skins is all rot. a black fox
skin in perfect condition will bring
from $500 to $500. and silver grey brings
$3.50 to $500.
a tattered hunting coat and sweater
and the body of large lynx were ex
hibited, Monday. by Joseph l.. Dow at
Westbrook, as proof of a struggle with
the animal during hunting trip near
Kingman last week. Returning to camp
about dusk after days hunting for
deer, Dow noticed an animal cross his
path and climb a nearby tree. An in
slant later the hunter saw two green
eyes looking at him from tree limb
overhanging the path. and he brought
his rifle to his shoulder. The lynx
made leap for him at the moment he
pulled the trigger of the weapon. The
animals claws ripped BOWS cunning
coat and tore his sweater, but after q
short struggle the lynx dropped to the
ground. The bullet had penetrated

guides said that the lynx was the larg
est seen in the vicinity of Kingman for
years. 1t weighed more than 40 pounds
and measured four feet eight inches.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Oct 29-After several days
of comparative calm. todays market was
subjected to another wave of liquidation
and series of bear attacks, which sent
prices to the lowest level of the current
movement. The selling derived much of
it's impetus from foundations abroad
where most markets continued to mani
fest considerable apprehension. In
doubtedly, however, the decline was ma
terally assisted by the aggressive atti-
tude of a bear faction here. which has
become emboldened, not only by the ten
sion across the water but by such home
factors as money and politics.
Canadian Pacific was weakest of the
international group. declining over
points in London before our opening. Its
maximum decline here was points,
from which il made but slight recovery.
The urgency with which this stock has
been offered on the European exchanges
points to ain overextended bull interest.
The settlements in London progressed
without restraint. although a failure of
some Importance occurred at that center.
There were persistent reports of some i'm
pending trouble in Paris, but local bank
ers with connections at the French cap
ital professed ignorance of any weak
ness there.
Reading and Amalgamated Copper also
We're singled out for short selling and
other coppers reflected the change which
is said TO have come out the condition
of that industry. u. ;. Steel too, was
also objective of extensive bear sales,
with resultant substantial declines. The
statement of the Steel Corporation for
the third quarter of the year, issued after
the close of the market, disclosed total
earnings of $SoO63.5l2. and not earnings
of s20.777 ,465. compared with $25, ,265 and
SIS. 429. 294 in the preceding quarter. The

slightly better than September.
