The Shoe Situation.

Continued activity prevails in footwear and
manufacturing plants generally are now rum
ming close to capacity. There is shortage of
leather in some European countries owing to
the closing down of tanneries, and many export
orders for shoes are being received here in
consequence. Trade in jobbing circles has
been quiet during the past week and it is not
expected that much new business will develop
until retailers have completed reduction sales
of summer goods. 1t is considered probable
that sharp advances will be made on spring
lines, but in most instances only slightly
higher prices have been asked on fall and
winter merchandise.-Dun's Review Sept
18th.

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up in Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed IL people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was regular modern rifled
gun, and fired shells-also homemade
on each of which was stamped.
with compliments of G. j. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves were not with
out sense of humor During Christ
mas, 1899, they were besieging Lady
smith, and on Christmas eve they fired
ten plugged shells into the town each
with piece of plum pudding inside,
and each bearing the words. with the
seasons compliments"
Two of the shells were found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
made, having been cast in foundry
at johannesburg.

A Substitute River.

One of the perplexing problems en-
countered by coaches of the various
varsity" racing shell crews, that of
providing better means for winter
training than is offered by the ordi-
nary rowing machine, has been met
satisfactorily at Syracuse university
through the installation of an indoor
rowing tank, provided with mechani-
cal means for Stimulating the passage
Of the boat through the water. This
provides what might almost be called
actual rowing. besides keeping the
men in condition.-Popular Mechanics
