SLUMP IN CHICAGO CORN
January option Loses 8 Gents;
Wheat Advances; Oats Steady.

Chicago. Jan. 3.-Corn prices crashed
downward here to-day. the January de-
livery breaking nearly three cents
bushel The same corn that four days
ago brought Il cents sold this morning at
6llb, a fall OF nearly 10 cents. The fact
that the leading long here had hedged
his holdings by sales Of the May option
brought on much pressure from specula-
tors who held bearish views. A smash In
values was the result. Wheat gained
fve-eighths Of cent. oats held steady
and provisions closed with lard up little
and a decline in pork. Range OF prices

Space and EyesiQht,

When we speak of outer space. the
space between star and star, as be-
ing empty of matter, it is rather in
terest1ng to see exactly what we mean
We know from observation on the
planets that light, in it's passage across
space to our earth, suffers hardly any
absorption, and from this fact we can
deduce conclusions respecting the den
sity of such matter as exists in outer
space.
If the degree of rarefaction in outer
space is, for example, in the neigh
borhood of the one hundred-millionth
part of an atmosphere, the appear
ance of Jupiter, for instance, would
be as if our atmosphere had twice it's
present opacity. So that such matter
as exists must be in much more
rarefed state. But after all these
terms are only comparative.
Suppose our atmosphere were al
lowed to expand up to the limits Of
the visible universe, as far as the
milky way, then its raefaction would
be such that it would be quite impos-
sible, by any optical means, to detect
the presence Of any matter. Neverthe-
less, there would be about five thou
sand molecules per cubic centimeter
throughout space.

Towns Interesting Experiment.

An interesting experiment has just
been made by the ladies of the Tulle
(France) Red Cross society, who made
a house-to-house visitation Of every
dwelling, rich and poor, asking how
much each inhabitant would be dis
posed to contribute in time of war In
money, clothes, furniture, ETC., for
wounded who might be brought into
Tulle hospital.
1t was understood that any surplus
would be given back to the donors, if
no use was found for it. The very
poorest insisted on adding their mites,
even If it was only blanket, pair
of shoes or a cotton nightcap. When
they had finished the ladies added up
the result Of their original quest, and
found that the hospital was not nearly
large enough to contain all the articles
promised. This, at any rate, is en-
couraging, for in actual wartime the
offerings would certainly be more
plentiful than for fictitious case.

WHEN THE WAR WAS OVER
Child Learns That Joy Sometimes
Finds Deepest Expression
In Tears.

1t was morning in early spring
the spring of '65. The orchard was
in full bloom and on the wind was
the odor of the poisoning crabapple
trees in the woods pasture. I was
sitting on the back doorstep eating a
bowl of bread and milk and pausing
between spoonfuls to note the glory of
woods, pasture and blue sky. was but
four years old and the beauty of the
world was just dawning on me, when
to my ears came sudden, far-off, dull
booms like sudden echoes of thunder.
The sky was without a cloud. Again
l heard the dull boom. All! l had
it!
Mother" l called, someone's
pounding on the side of Uncle Dawes
barn!"
She came to the door and listened.
Again came the dull, thunderous
sound. For a moment she listened
and then burst out sobbing.
What's the matter, mother? Does
it scare you I'm not afraid"
She stopped over and gathered me
to her breast. THE war is over The
war is over" was all she could say,
but she said it over and over. THE
war is over and your father is COM
ing home"
Why, I'd think you'd laugh instead
of cry! I'd think you'd be glad in
stead of sorry Child that l was, l
knew not that JOY sometimes finds
deepest expression in tears.

From the Mississippi campaign came the bright
est reports of progress. The eyes of North and
South alike were upon Grant and Pemberton at
Vfcksburg the almost impregnable stronghold of
the Confederacy in the Mississippi valley. Farra-
gut had past the batteries Of New Orleans and
Porter assisting Grant in the reduction of the
works around Vicksburg. Newspapers daily print
ed glowing accounts of the progress of the siege
but the city did not fall. Still it was from Grant
hat the encouraging, heaTtening news of the day
came On May %, the day before the date now
set for Memorial day, certain New York newspa-
pers printed dispatches stating that Vicksburg had
fallen; that Pemberton had escaped from the city
with the loss of his artillery This report how
ever, promptly denied.
On the same day authentic accounts and pic
lures of an engagement at Champions Hill. near
Vicksburg, were received. About FIVE o'clock in
the morning of May Is General Grant had re-
ceived information from two men who had been

No Tanuo or Motors.

There is one place where the tango
is as yet unknown, and that liz Mon
rovia, the capital OF Liberia, accord
ing to Reed Paige Clark, the receiver
Of the general customs there, who
is now on six months leave of alb
sence.
Ragtime and the movies, however,
flourish there, Mr.. Clark says, but
there is not an automobile in the
whole of Liberia; in fact, there are no
wheeled vehicles at all, as there are
no roads and no railroads.
Life at the capital is village-like in
its simplicity. The people are kindly
and courteous, and Mr.. Clark is de-
lighted with the treatment he received
during his two years residence there.
Mr.. Clark says his British, French
and German colleagues work harmo-
niously, although there is some fric-
ton on political questions, but this Is
of no great Importance.
The port of Monrovia is showing a.
wonderful increase in shipping. More
than 400 steamers called there during
the past year with cargoes which ex-
ceeded million tons.

Left Capital Vulnerable.

One hundred years ago the residents
Of Washington were seriously dis
turbed by Tumors that the British
were planning an expedition for the
capture of their city. Grave as was
the danger, the authorities were slow
to move. After considerable delay a
fleet of gunboats and barges were as
sembled and placed under the com
mand of the veteran Commodore Bar
ney, who had served with distinction
in the Revolution. But the land de-
lenses were almost totally neglected.
Though the government called for Is
600 troops, the actual defense force
about the national capital consisted of
but few hundred militia In conse-
quence, when the British finally
marched on the city in midsummer
they encountered little opposition.

dening report of those killed in the engagement.
Full lists were being published about the Memorial
day season The Union loss at Champions Hill
was, according to General Grants memoirs, 40
killed, 1874 wounded and 187 missing. HoVey
alone lost 1900 killed wounded and missing-one-
third of his command. It was estimated that the
Confederates lost about 5000 killed and wounded
and 5000 captured in pursuit and battle. Ioring 8
division which was the right of Pemberton's line,
never got back into Vicksburg, and Pemberton fell
back to Big Black river.
The most cheerful part of this Memorial day
news was the fact that, it meant Grant had firm
position between Johnston and Pemberton.
Close on the news from Champions Hill came
dispatches describing a fight at Big Black river,

FAT MAN MOVED OVER
LITTLE INCIDENT THAT MADE
Mr.. GosLiNGToN SMILE.
Retributive Justice Was Abroad and
Working That Morning, Though 1t
Is Not Often In Evidence
in Railroad Car.

Whenever l take seat in an ele-
waited or subway car" said Mr..
Goslington, Il am careful to sit square
ly in the middle Of it so that shall
not unduly crowd anybody that may
be sitting at either side, but l do not
find that everybody respects my rights
in like manner.
This morning, for instance, when
had seated myself in my accustomed
fashion in a subway car there came in
and took the vacant seat next me on
my left big, thoughtless, fleshy man,
who was quite regardless Of my rights
and comfort, to which, indeed, he was
plainly quite Indifferent. He dropped
into that seat any way he happened
to, which proved to be two-thirds on
that seat and one-third on mine, or
rather on me. And then he stayed
right there where he had dropped,
making no effort whatever to shift
over.
Il stood this for minute or two so
as not to appear disturbed or impa-
tent, and then l moved one seat to
the right, that next seat there happen
