Canal to Omen on Fine

From the New York Herald
That slides in the Culebra Cut viii not
delay the opening of the Panama canal
was the statement made by Dr. Edmund
Otis Hovey, who returned yesterday 10
this city ON board the Prinz August Will
helm of the Hamburg American line. Dr.
Hovey spent several weeks at the ithmus
making geological survey and obtaining
specimens In his capacity as curator of
the department of geology in the Ameri-
can Museum Of Natural History.
''While at the canal" said DR. Hovev,
Il saw where the slides had occurred.
Large forces of laborers were removing
the mass of earth and rock. The clides
are due to the slipping down of large
quantities of decomposed rock, which
gives way as soon as the supporting bases
are removed. The rock is of volcanic
origin.
''The engineers are not worried because
of the slides. Let the material slide as
1t will, it will eventually find a solid base.
There may be more Sides but the canal
operations cannot be much disturbed by
them. All such accidents have been dis
counted long in advance. The canal will
be opened on January /, 1915. The en-
gineers do not intend that it shall be
opened earlier.
II was much impressed" continued DR..
Hovey, "by the remarkable work benz
done at the isthmus. The organization
is superb, and every American there is
deeply interested In his work. | doubt
If ever there was a better managed Or
ganization. The health OF the men is ex-
cellent and the conditions under which
they work are of the best
DR.. Hovey brought back with him many
specimens taken from various depths
along the excavation. Owing to tho
igneous origin OF mbost of the rocks in
that region there are not many evidences
of early life to be found. The geologist
got only a few fossils. but has brought
back to the museum rock specimens which
will be of interest to geologsts and stu
dents, particularly after the waters are
flowing through the channel which is to
connect the two oceans.
The American Museum of Natural His
tory announces a lecture by Dr. Hovey
on March 20. 1t will be illustrated by
moving pictures taken under his direction
in the canal zone. s

More Work for the X-Rays

frbm the Scientific American
The latest advance in the field of radio
graphy is the use Of x-rays for examining
microscopic preparations.
IL, in spite of the many sided applica-
tons of X-rays, no attempt had so far
been made to use them for microscopic
study. this was doubtless due TO the Sc
rious experimental difficulties to be over
come. A French scientist, NJ. Pierre
CODY, at Grasse. has. however, by means
of special apparatus particulars of
which will only be made known in a short
time) succeeded in removing these diff
cultles and investigating Opaque micro
scoplc preparations by radiosopy in all
their most hidden details.

submitted to the French Association for
the, Advancement of Science, CODY at
flrst placed his micro photographic work in

fossil remains of all sorts of microscopic
organisms. When examining a sample of
such sand under the microscopic X-ray
apparatus, a surprising abundance and
variety of forms is revealed. each individ-
ual being analyzed far more safely than
under the microscope. In addition to
these applications, micro-radiography also
lends itself for investigation the formation
of the bones of small vertebrates from
their birth to the adult stage. Apart
from the structure of bones, peculiarities
or the skin and any anomalies of small,
though not microscopically small animals
can be investigated with the utmost care,
any tleshy parts and even muscles becom-
ing transparent SO as to come out dis
tinctly on the background. Studies in
comparative anatomy are thus greatly
facilitated.
Other applications will doubtless be
found in the near future; those above
mentioned would seem to be given an
adequate idea of the possibilities of this
new science, the further development OF
which will be left to the experimenters
themselves.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, March 1.-The cotton mar
ket was quiet this week. Prices moved
within narrow range and did not favor
either bulls or bears to any decided ex-
tent. The close was at a net gain of 2
to II points. The high prices were mad g
on Friday and the low prices on Tues
day. At the highest the trading months
were 20 to 80 points over last week s
close at the lowest they were. 3 to 6
points under. The range was 23 to 36
points.
Except for a while around the opening
of the week the long side was more ag-
gressive than the short and prices were
kept at a small advance above the level
of last weeks close. An improvement in
the spot demand and bulIish developments
in regard to the March position, all no
tices being promptly stopped, swung the
balance in favor Of the longs At the
same time bulls found it difficult to make
much real headway, owing to the uncer-
tainty that prevailed during the larger
part of the week over anti-future bills
before Congress.
On the whole. the volume of trade was
small and operators on both sides were
plainly waiting for decided developments
regarding the new crop situation. Plant
ing was reported begun In the earliest
sections of Texas and from most parts of
the belt sufficient progress with the crop
was claimed At the same time a con-
siderable amount of rain fell, which the
market called unfavorable.
In the spot department prices gained
&c: middling closing at 121kc. against 12s4c
last week and 10 7-16c this week last year.
Sales on the spot amounted to $3.50 bales,
against 5514 last week and 724O this week
last year; sales to arrive amounted to
1898 bales, against 231s last week and 2995
this week last year.

STRENGTH SHOWN
IN COPPER GROUP
Gains Run to Over 2 Points;
Otherwise Stocks Move
ment Insignificant

Mex York. March 1.-Except for the
strength of the copper group, in which
gains ran to over 2 points, the move-
ment of stocks today was insignificant.
There was some selling early in the
session by room traders on account OF
the governments suit against Corn Prod
ucts Refining company, news of which
reached the street some time i'll advance
of the actual filing of the suit. and the
recommendation of the Pujo money trust
commmittee.
Corn Products stocks held fairly steady
The preferred, which broke over points
yesterday, declined ~ today, but iater
rallied to a point over the previous close.
The movement in the common was frac-
tional. She report of the Pujo committee
had not been digested thoroughly enough
for the formation of conclusions upon
which to base speculative actions.
While some recommendations of the
committee were regarded as of a charac-
ter to give Wall street deep concern
should Congress consider seriously the en-
actment of such legislation there was a
disposition to dismiss this and all other
political considerations, including Mexico,
for the present until the new administra-
ton is at work.
The bank statement was decidedly UNI
favorable, revealing cash loss in the
actual table of $S,661 600, an amount con-
siderably, in excess of estimates.
The surplus reserve was all but wiped
opt, being cut down to $2,690,000.
This condition probably is a temporary
one, however
Bonds were steady. Wabash As were ex-
acptionally strong.
Total sales, par value, $4,000.

WEEK END SESSION

In Eearly Trading Prices
Above Fridays Close,
Later Going Under

New Orleans, March 1.-The weekend
session in the cotton market was ner-
vous. In the early trading prices wers
amove yesterdays close, but later they
were under. With these changes the
range was only IS to 16 points.
The opening was steady at an advance
of 1 to ? points on good cables and poor
weather over the cotton belt. A little
after the opening the trading months
were to ) points up. which was the
highest level of the session. Bears in
creased their offerings on cable messages
from London stating that Lancashire was
facing another labor crisis and on re
ports from Texas that planting had al
ready begun in the earliest sections Of
that state. Pessimism in the stock mar
ket also reflected in cotton. Pressure
was held on0he market until prices were
to IL points under yesterdays close. In
the last half hour of business shorts
toon profits over the Weekend and more
than offset liquidation from the long side
The close was steady at a net decline
of to Z points.

After Showing Renewed
Steadiness, Closes

New York March 1.-The cotton mar
ket showed renewed steadiness early to-
day but later declined under realizing
and closed easy at a net loss of from to
points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of l point to a decline of / point.
and shortly after the call sold from to
points higher on covering and moderate
support from local bulls. Relatively
steady cables undoubtedly helped the ad-
vance. which was also promoted by fav-
orable advices from the dry goods trade,
reports of too much rain in the south,
and bullish private ginning figures.
There was no aggressive demand how
ever, and as realizing checked the adj
vance offerings became a little more gen.
eral with Wall street and uptown inter-
ests considerable sellers in the late trad
ing. Closing prices were at the lowest
OF the day. Private cables from Liv-
erpool reported quiet Saturday market,

quiet.

Animals Taste

L iotu LII DltS.
Many experiments have been made in
order to find out what and where the
organ of taste is in the lower creation,
but it is easier to say where it Is not.
Crayfish and worms seem to have very
decided preferences in the matter of food,
thcugff no special taste organ has yet
been found. Lobsters like decaying food.
The crab Is more dainty in its diet.
Snails and slugs show decided prefer
ence for certain kinds of food, as garden
lovers know to their cost Peas and cab
bages, dahlias and sunfiowers are great
favorites; but they will not touch the
white mustard. Some prefer animal food.
especially If gather high. Spiders have
only a slight sense of taste; flies soaked
in paraffin seem quite palatable to them;
though one species, the diadema, is some
what more particular, and refuses to touch
alcohol in any form whatever.
The proboscis of the fly and the tongues
OF bees and ants are furnished with num-
Herous delicate hairs set in minute pits
These are perhaps connected with the Or
gan of taste; but, though the exact To-
cality of this sense in insects is uncer-
tain. we know that groups Of cells in the
tongues of animals, called taste bulbs
form in part the ends Of the organ Of the
higher animals. They are very close and
exceedingly numerous In man, while the
tongue of even the COW has some 5000
taste bulbs.
1t would be interesting to know whether
each special taste excites special group
OF nerves. and that only-thus correspond
ing to the auditory nerves. These taste
bulbs were discovered in 1867. Each one
consists of two kinds of cels-one set
forming an outer protective covering,
through an opening in which project from
five to 10 of the true taste cells. Though
important. they are not apparently an es-
sential part of the organ, for birds and
reptiles have none; but neither have they
a keen sense of taste-except perhaps.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. March 1.--( Especial )-Eu-
rope continues to buy cotton above the
quotations called for by the weakness
IN the American markets. This weak
ness on this side of the Atlantic is not
due to trade conditions or crop condi-
uons but to the very bearish feeling
regarding the American political situa-
tion.
Our market opened steady and slow
ly improved until the last hour when
selling orders from outside sources who
are bearish on the views just stated
and on the predictions that we will
have large crop next season are in
