STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Inactivity and Uncertainty Dis
PLAYED in Closing Quotations.

In remarkably dull days trading
the stock market yesterday had one OF
it's characteristic Mondays. which have
been notable since the expected decision
in the Minnesota rate cases became a
factor in trading sentiment. The move
ments of prices yesterday when they
occurred displayed irregularity. with a
generally firm undertone, which au-
cured well. according to the technical
observations Of traders with optimistic
temperaments. Throughout the morn
ing session the market was described
as one waiting for Supreme Court re-
turns. and the Street generally as
signed that condition as a reason for
no activity. When it was announced
that no decisions had been handed
down in the Minnesota rate cases and
that the Supreme Court had adjourned
until February "a traders thought that
something would occur in stock move
ments to develop more active partici-
patton by operators. But the activity
did not follow to any appreciable de-
gree, although there was a slight ac-
celeration in transactions in the early
afternoon, resulting in some fractional
declines in prices. 1t was plainly EVIL
dent that traders were both disap-
pointed and somewhat discouraged. and
they were not inclined to give heed TO
news developments or other market
factors for the time being. In the late
afternoon interest seemed 10 be settled

Opinions among market followers re-

time had arrived for turn toward bet
terment, but in view Of the political
hash which is being served by reform
ers in the nature of bills for rectifying
the abuses of stock markets generally
and the New York Stock Exchange in
particular, the continued eruptive char
acter of the dispatches from abroad re-
garding the Balkan situation and other
factors of uncertain tendency, ii seems
decidedly venturesome for traders 10
commit themselves TO any extent on
either side. An inference was drawn
by some that the steek market was
due for more activity as a result Of the
broadening Of the call money market,
which yesterday exhibited an increased
demand for loans. some of which were
made on 3 per cent basis. 1t was
also reported that the bankers were in
clined to be more favorable toward
putting out call loans for the present
at least. More gold was engaged for
Argentina, and the indications are that
further Withdrawals will be made for
South America very soon.

The 1913 legislature did one
thing that ought to be highly ap-
preclated by those living ontaids
the cities OF Kansas. says the WITCH
ita Beacon. II put q ~"stinger'' on
the law that requires the pubiica-
ton Of the reports OF township treas
urers SO that those who pay the
township taxes will know what lie
happening to the money they pay
In, For many years there has been
q law requiring that the township
treasurers publish annual reports of
the transactions OF their office. But
there was no penalty attached to
the law and no one ever paid any
attention to It. The reports must
show in detail the receipts, disburse-
ments and the debt OF the township.
The penalty for failing to publish
the statement is q fine Of 500 and
q Jail sentence Of 80 days. There
has never been any particular rea-
son why these reports should not
be published. The people who pay
the taxes are entitled to know how
much money was paid in and what
II was spent for. There is no way
to get this information except by
1t in the newspapers or
by sending the statements to each
taxpayer. The law authorizes the
publication of the statements and it
be paid for out of the town.

EARTH,s THIN SHELL.

What a thin shell this is, OF
which We live and move and have
our being! We complain of the
heat. Yet only within the narrow
ranges of this shell are temperature
such as to permit life. A few miles
up or down life would be out of the
question.
The temperature decreases in
summer about four degrees for ev-
cry thousand feet Of elevation. In
the most sizzling weather there
would be perfect comfort a mile
above the surface OF the earth. But
the temperature at a height of
seven miles is constantly nearly 10
degrees below zero. If this could
filter through to the earth the shell
we live on would become crusted
with ice, like the polar regions.
In all the fierce heat of the last
three weeks a region near to Kan
a City than Independence is to
the union station, has been frozen
with eternal cold.
Below the surface OF the earth
temperatures rapidly increase. At a
depth of less than a mile the earth
is constantly heated above 100 de-
grees. Two miles below the sur
face water would boil and living
would perish.
If the surface OF the earth were
exposed to the temperatures that
POUND it less than ten miles apart,
life would disappear and the land
would become an uninhabited waste.

A SQUEEZED LEMON.

Colonel Roosevelt's statement that
he will not attend the Progressive
conference at Chicago IS not Sc
much evidence Of his abandonment
lof the Progressive cause as of rec
ognition of the fact that the Pro-
gressives, SO far as the rank and
file are concerned, have abandoned
him. They have been abandoning
him ever since he was defeated in
his desperate effort to rule or ruin
the Republican party last year.
The reasons which the Colonel
gives for his inability" to attend
the conference, however, are less
ingenious than this very ingenious
politician usually gives. He sol
EMMY declares that he was so busy
attending a Hopi Indian snake dance
that he delayed his return to civili-
cation too long to make his attend
possible, and as a further rea-
son he states with equal solemnity
that the conference has been post
poned a week. That is to say. he
Is SO pressed for time that the post
ponement of the conference for a
week makes it impossible for him
10 be present.
Colonel Roosevelt is too shrewd
politician not to know that he has
absolutely nothing to hope for from
he Progressive movement, and he

Wilson'S Representative Quits Mex
leo Today.
RUMoRs OF A NEW PRESIDENT


Mexico City. Aug. 26.-President
Wilson's personal representative.
John Lind, will leave the Mexican
capital today, proceeding to Vera
Cruz.
Mr.. Lind called on Foreign Min
lister Gamboa to say goodbye, but
there was nothing in their CONVEX
sation regarding the resumption of
negotiations or to indicate that
Mexico would recede from her posi-
ton.
Mr.. Lind will sail from Vera Cruz
at an early date, presumably on a
battleship. 1t is expected that Will
liam Bayard Hale, who has been in
Mexico City in official capacity. will
accompany Mr.. Lind, or leave soon
afterward.
Rumors persist that General Ire
vino, who has been summoned to
the capital, will become provisional
president, but confirmation is lack
ing and this report is offset by an
other that General Huerta has call
ed in most of the retired Officers
and many of those on detached
to report for duty.

The extraordinary habits Of the
harvester ant have long been known
70 n~aturalists. Certain species moi
only harvest and store in granaries
the eeeds upon which they iced,
but actually plant and cultivate an
annual crop Of their food seeds.
Still more remarkable stories are
told Of ar mi that is common in
Dalmatia. the Messor barbaus. Ac-
cording to DR.. Meyer OF the Dresden
forestry school. this ant not only
cuts leaves and gathers seeds. but
actually makes bread or biscuitl The
seeds are first sprouted. then car
ried into the u and dried, then
taken back to the underground
chambers, where they are chewed
into dough. The dough is then
finally made into tiny cakes. which
are baked in the sun. then careful
ly stored for future use.
From these observations II would
appear that the art OF cookery Is not
confined to the human race. All
cooking is done by the sun. wheth-
er in the ripening Of fruit or in the
baking of bread in a stove. The
heat obtained from fuel is simply
up sunlight set free.
The Arab and the native Mexican
speak of ripe fruit as fruit which
has been cooked in the sun. The
ant has somehow learned the art
