Unfinished Business

BY unanimous consent, the measure
was made the unfinished business with
the understanding that it would be
taken up tomorrow to give way only to
the conference report on the Alaska
coal land leasing bill.
The committee presented no esti-
mate of the amount to be raised by
the bill, but Senator Simmons said
that the estimated revenue would be
about $105,0O0,000, unless continued
slump in beer production cut it down.
The report of the committee said
present revenue and tariff laws had
raised enough money to run the gov
eminent and leave a surplus of $S4,-
100000 last year.

Smoky Cities Also Foaax.

The relation between smoke and fog
is ably set forth in a bulletin issued by
the Mellon Institute of Industrial Re
search, University of Pittsburgh. and
written by Or, Herbert H. Kimball.

ter by saying:
City fogs are more persistent than
country fogs. principally because of
their increased density due to the
smoke that accumulates in them.
"In consequence of the above there
are fewer hours of sunshine in the
cities than in the surrounding country.
The sunshine is less intense in the
city than in the country the light Of

Forcce That May Be Utilized When

The following figures may prove of
interest to those fearing the exhaus-
ton of the worlds coal supply, says
the American Machinist. In a sum-
mary Of the water power of the world
the possible horsepower of France Is
estimated at 100000, of which only
100000 is utilized. About an equal
amount of power is available in Italy,
but only 10000 horsepower is utilized
Falls of 10000 horsepower are abun-
dant in the Alps
The estimate in Switzerland is in
complete. but about 100000 horsepower
is in use Germany has 100000 horse
power available, with 100000 applied.
Norway has 100000 horsepower avail
able, with a large part already devel-
oped. In Sweden there is 100000 horse
power available.
The resources of Russia are estimat-
ed at 100000 horsepower, of which
only $4,000 has been developed. The
United States is credited with 100000
horsepower, while Japan has 100000,
of which 10000 has been exploited In
India $4,000 horsepower has already
been developed, mostly at a consider
able distance from any industrial CEN
ter. In Great Britain there Is 10000
horsepower already utilized, and an

The chief fault of the native Alge-

the sake of profit as for the sake Of de-

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-During
most OF the day the stock market, for
exchange on Europe and for wheat
as we'll as stock, moved in the op-
poSite direction from yesterday.
Prices OF stoke in the early hours
had regained ground lost yesterday
but there were signs OF weakness In
the closing. Such speculative opera
lions as exist are OF very tentative
character; they are restrained by the
arbitrary minimum prices. and the be
Lief that Europe would sell.
Such a situation naturally makes
for narrow fluctuations. In due
course, this experimental process will
throw more light on the question OF
what prices most fairly represent in
trlnsic values under present condi-
tons. Ii the London stock exchange
reopens In the first week of January,
thing more definite by way OF answer
to the question.
The early advance In price was led
by stocks OF the coalcarrying roads.
which were helped by the federal dis
trict courts decision In favor OF lne
legality of the Lehigh Valleys man
ner OF separating its coal and railway
properties. Bethlehem Steel rose sew
