New York, n. Y, April 26-The stock
market closed steady. The decline in
stocks continued today after a brief
period Of steadiness influenced by
higher London prices at the opening.
The absence of demand for any class
of stocks was still a conspicuous fact
which encouraged bear traders to in
crease their Efforts and selling was
on a heavier scale than for some time
Low records were registered by some
issues.
Before the close of the short session
the volume of selling tapered off and
there was some Improvement in prices

CORAL SURFACE COVERS SEA
Wonderful Composition Of Strip of Sea
Coast That Is Part Of
Yucatan.

That part of Yucatan known AZ
Quintana Roo, belongs to Mexico, and
1t is doubtful IL anywhere in the world
is to be found such a strange and won
derful region. Having a coast line Of
oOO miles and an area of $4,000 square
miles, it was once occupied by race
OF people having high state of civil
ization, as is evidenced by the ruins
they left behind them. Owing to the
fact that q savage race known as the
Mayas still hold the interior almost all
commercial, mining and other trades
are necessarily confined to a narrow
strip of the coast, which is Composed
almost wholly of coral. 1t is this strip
which has been termed the "petrified
sea-" for almost anywhere a hole can
be dug and salt water struck. In fact
this coral surface of the coast country
Is nothing but the roof of a gigantic
cavern in which there are subterran-
can waters. Through these holes cat
fish without eyes can be caught. This
water is impregnated with copper and
cannot be used even in steam boilers.
The lack of soil on the surface of this
coral prevents the raising of vegeta-
bles and the lack of these foods, owing
to their high cost, is responsible for
the many sicknesses and fevers to
which the inhabitants are prone The
cost Of living is extremely high in con-
sequence. Ice brings as high as 25
cents pound and other things are in
proportion. Bacalar, a military town,
having population of bare 500, was
once 10000, but in 1850 the entire city
was wiped out by the savage Mayas.
About 100000 worth of dyewoods,

brought out of this country every year
by American companies and a railroad
runs 60 miles, but no one has as yet
dared to penetrate the interior, where
the Mayas still hold sway. The climate
Is hot and tropical and the frequent
rains supply the only drinking water.
Fruits are abundant in the interior,
and the hunting is good and many
deer hides are shipped as we'll as some
copper and sponges. Coal and oil
abound, and the fact that the interior
is full Of copper is evident in the fact
that the Rio Azul carries six per cent.

Spaniards made their first visit to the
country in the 18th century, they
found the natives using implements of
copper.

Brideqrooms Do the weenIno.

An Australian traveller, who has re-.
turned from a trip round the Torres
Straits archipelago, found It was the
correct thing for the brIdegrooms
among the Christianized natives Of
Badu, MulgraVe island, to weep at the
altar.
IAN indispensable condition for n
wedding" Mr.. Walker states, us that
the bridegroom must cry when the
knot Is tied. The tears flow copiously
quite shower Of them.
ut is extraordinary how the natives
can produce tears Just whenever they
are wanted. The bride does not weep
She Is full OF mirth. It is her day Quit
Everybody grips her by the hand and
says nice things; while her tear-stain-
ed partner stands apart, a picture of
abject misery"
The natives Of Badu, who earn their
living by fishing for pearls, though
nominally Christian are still immera-
ed In superstition. Mr.. Walker found
them burying with their dead large
quantities OF food and drink, 80 that
the spirits shall not be hungry in the
next world.
