Odd Lot Buying.

The houses specializing in fractional
lots continue to report an accumulation
of stocks among the smaller class OF puF-
cbasers. These Accommodations appear TO
be the result Of investment buying b!
people who have been attracted by lhe
low prices Of standard issues. which are
offering unusually large yields IN the
light Of their dividend rates and market
quotations Aside from the investment
buying there has come into the market
i'm later times a speculative element ID

paratlvely large attendance in the Gus
toners rooms of houses specializing IN
broken share offerings. Such buying
While not powerful in moving prices up

LIGHTNING FROM soc BANK
captain " Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells Of Strange Bombsrdment :
Of HE Vessel.

Capt. A. sunderberg Of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports a
strange experience at sea on August T.
In report made to the Hydro
graphic Office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 D. m, when six miles
east by south OF Point Conception
his vessel ran into a thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising In the least,
violent electric storm broke out, and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges OF atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 1915
a. m, August s, the steel foremost Of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display OF st. Elmo
fire, as the mast gave out loud reports
as II from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.

Weeds.

Weeds have been aptly defined as
plants out of their proper place. Thus,
Kentucky blue grass is a treasure in
the lawn and weed in the adjacent
corn field. We are all more or less
familiar with what we generally call
weeds-dandelion pusley, quack grass,
thistles, burdock, pigweed, MULLEN,
milkweed, and many others, because
these plants are always out of place,
as far as the ordinary back yard farm
er is concerned.
They are easily controlled in the
flower beds, because these beds are
usually small In size, the soil is loose
and the weeds pull out easily, and If
you wait long enough your wife will
probably get disgusted and pull them
herself.
In the vegetable garden, it is an en-
tirely different proposition. however,
Here the weeds start about two laps
ahead of the earliest vegetables. hav-
ing planted themselves the year be-
fore in preparation for flying start.
The soil is firm and they anchor
themselves for the season in a very
determined manner.
If we assail them early, before they
are anchored. we can win out, but they
never give up the battle and success
is the result of constant labor. It's
really remarkable. too, how a man
grows weaker as the gardening season
progresses.
The sun gets hotter, the hoe duller,
the weeds more defiant, the soil hard
er, the mosquitoes start business
earlier and stay later, and it is only
