''WAsH SALES" GET A JOLT
New York Stock Exchange Issues
Stringent Order Against Them
Violation Means Suspension.

New YorAA-The New York stock
exchange adopted a stringent resolu-
ton against wash sales It reads:
NO member Of the stock exchange
or anybody connected with stock ex.
change firm shall give or with knowl
edge execute orders for the purchase
or sale of securities which involve no
change in ownership
Punishment for this ofrense Ii al.
ready set forth in the construction OF
the exchange under the head Of "fic-
sitious transactions. Any violation
of the rule makes a member liable to
suspension for period not exceeding
one year.
The rule adopted is Dreaded in that
1t applies not only to member Of the
exchange, but to any one connected
with stock exchange firm.
J. B. Mahon. president of the ex-
change, said Of the action of the gov
ernors:
This resolution has been framed,
after much consideration, In the be-
lief and expectation that it will be eff
hcacious in preventing manipulation.
The object of the rule is to prohibit
the giving of orders which will not re-
suit In a change of ownership, or the
execution Of such orders by brokers
with knowledge Of the fact that there
Will be no such change. It is intend

LITTLE SLEEP FOR ELEPHANT
Beast Never Lies Down In Its Whole
Life, Is Common Theory-AIways
on Feet.

It is doubted whether, in the wild
state, elephants ever lie down, says a
| writer id lssss-'s Weekly. Gordon
Cumming thought he had found evil
dence. In marks upon the ground, that
the adult bulls did stretch themselves
out at full length for few hours
rest at about midnight; but he con-
tended that the young and the cows
always remained on their feet.
Another authority, Selous, has ex-
pressed doubt whether even the old
bulls lie down. He tells of one herd
that was known to have kept NOV
ing and feeding throughout the TWEEN
ty-four hours. Except when rolling
in mud and water" he says, lit is
likely that an African elephant never
lies down in its whole life"
However this may be, the most COM
petent authorities seem to agree that
this animal sleeps less and more light
ly than any other. ]. L. Kipling, the
father Of the writer has estimated the
period Of slumber taken standing up
to average about four hours in the
twenty-four, and this estimate has
been employed by the son in an anus
ing passage for one of his stories.

LAST MOOD CHURCH
Edifiee Built 900 Years Ago Still
Stands in England.
Ancient Building Of ereensted Was
Constructed of Oak Tinbers and ls
Believed to Have Sheltered Re"
mains of st. Edmund.

London.-In many Of the northern
countries of Europe, as well as In
England, there is abundant evidence
of the use Of wood in the middle ages
for the construction of sacred build
ings.y There was a time" says the
Venerable Bede. when there was
not q stone church in all the land,
but the custom was to build them all
of wood" The earliest cathedral at
York and the Church Of Lindisfarne'
In Holy Island, were build of wood.
The best account of these early wood
en- churches is to be found in Profess
sor Dietrichen's book on the Morse
Stavekirker. In Norway some "a out
OF 1000 or more of the original stave-
kirkeI still exist. In England there re-
mains only one such wooden church,
the nave OF which is a genuine exam
ple of Saxon timber building-Green-
sted, in Essex.
The little Church of Greensted lies
a mile west of Ongar, and about 20
miles northeast of London, and Is al
most screened from the observation Of
the traveller approaching from either
direction by tall trees. 1t is In s.ll prob
ability due to its exceptionally Sc
questered position, as we'll as to its
small size and insignificant endow-
ments, that it has escaped uhharned
during 900 years OF eyentfui and tu-
multuous history.
The accredited tradition connects
the foundation Of the church with the
history of st. Edmund, the martyred
king of East Anglia, who was muir
dered by the Danes in $40 A. D., in the
twenty-ninth year of his age. The
life and death of this king formed the
theme for the songs of many early
English chroniclers. When the saints
body was brought from London to
Edmondsbury In 1913 a temporary
resting place was afforded the re-
mains at Greensted, where the monks
hastily erected q wooden chapel to
give them shelter.
There is much, however, to suggest
that the fabric is Of still older date
II the building had been erected for
the reason assigned, it surely would
have been dedicated to st. Edmund,
rather than to st. Andrew, is the
case. Moreover, the method of con-
struction is not that which was usual
in the eleventh century, when
churches of stone were common, but
belongs rather to an age anterior by
one or two centuries. The structure
also shows sl5slgn Of hasty erection,
