The current coursing through him had

the Desire For Fight Out Of Thorn.
"These are great times" exulted the
Electrician to his friend the Old Fogy.
with machine guns and other instru-
ments Of war we certainly are going
some in the fighting game"
"Yes." agreed the Old Fogy as be ad-
! justed his glasses. "but do you know
that before such things were dreamed
Of an entire nation was conquered with
magnet and a little black box?''
( And the Electrician confessed, Nor
"You have heard, no doubt the Old
Fogy rambled on. .'of the marvellous
inventions Of Robert Houdin, the great
French conjurer, man who did great
things with electricity when Alexander
Graham Bell was an infant.
"Houdin applied electricity to many
of his magical experiments and de-
lighted the Partisan public for years in
his little theater When he retired
he was the most favored performer Of
his day and had bowed to the plaudits
Of royalty.
Heard all about that" snapped the
Electrician What about the black
box?" .s5
Coming to that, boy; coming to; that.
Houdin retired to his family estate on
the left banks Of the River Loire near
st. Gervaise, hoping to end his days
in peace. But after a year or so there
came to him through a military friend
q request from the French government
that he go to Algiers.
Tin his memoirs, translated into Eng
fish some years before his death, he
says that the Marabouts Of that coun-
try, sort Of medicine men and won
der working priests, controlled the
masses and melted them to intermit-
ten revolts against the French BY their
tricks. These tricks, he assures us,
! were of the simplest and most prim.
tive type.
1T was the hope Of the French gov
eminent that Houdin BY his mysteries
could, demonstrate that the white con-
queror's magic was superior. And
Houdin did it."

PRICES GO UP ON
NEWS FROM MEXICO
New York Stock Exchange Had
Discounted ResuIts-Cop-
pers Join Upward Move.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Instead Of the
lack of results in the Mexican elec-
tions breaking the market, as had
confidently been expected by many
operators, It was discovered, shortly
after the opening Of the stock ex-
change today, that the results had
been fully discounted, SO that, after
the first few minutes of trading, q
gradual rise set in, in which most Of
the active stocks made substantial
gains.
One of the most favorable develop
ments Of the day was the. announce
ment that the bank Of Germany had
reduced the discount rate from 6 to
5h per cent. This had the effect in
softening call and time money which
might have been expected, and was
followed by the rise in prices.
Kuhn Loeb G. Co., and the National
City Bank announced that the $4,000
900 issue Of Hooking Valley Railroad
one-year 5 per cent gold notes had
all been sold.
In London the price of copper metal
was marked up 10 shillings for spot
and shillings for futures, which
justified a rise in the copper stocks,
which in turn aided the general up
ward movement Of the entire list.
Amalgamated Copper, which opened
at TAX, sold up to 75, afterward drop
ping back to 74B.

CAPITAL TRACTION
STOCK BRINGS 115
United States Trust Again Ac-

Figure on Exchange.

Capital Traction sold at lis, even
money, for 46 shares on the Washing
ton Stock Exchange today, as perhaps
the most interesting item in the biggest
days trading which the local bourse haa
seen for many long month. A total
of 300 shares of stock were sold, in ad-
dition to s15,500 par Of bonds, in the
half hour in which the exchange was in
session.
An amusing incident in connection
with the sale of the Capital Traction
stock is that it was all sold to Henry
Hurt, by W. B. Hibbs, following so
closely upon the bet on price made by
these two operators. Shortly after this
sale Mr.. Hurt bid 114k for the stock.
United States Trust was again active.

Washington was rather surprise, as
cne broker called "sold" the moment
the prices were announced. Afterward
