terested in watching the common
house ant here in Rio de Janeiro. We
have an American fly trap The sugar
was one day covered with ants. so
placed the trap on finger bowl stand
ing in plate of water. The ants when
they came to the edge Of the water
ran around the bowl until convinced
there was no way across. and then
calmly took to the water and ran
across it by aid of surface tension
without getting their feet wet Hav-
Ing presumably been home to the nest.

Generous Boss

A certain darky who works a small
farm for "halves" occasionally furnish
es much amusement to persons who
happen to chance in his vicinity by his
originality and gift of gab." The 9TH
er day an individual engaged him in
conversation with the intention of
boarding up good laugh for reference
at his club. How do you make out.
Joe?" was asked as way of starting.
Fine. boss.' replied that person.
fine" But you don't keep all you
raise. do your mo. sah." replied the
darby. and he continued: You see.

How Macaroni Is Made.


This Is how macaroni is made In
Italy: To very glutinous wheat -four
is added a plentiful supply of dried
eggs. Mixed with water, this becomes
a dough. which Is so thickly kneaded
as to be difficult to impress with the
fingers. Then it is carried to round
press perforated with holes. through
which the dough is pressed by means
Of a heavy plate worked by a screw.
The result is macareni without holes
in the sticks. Pipe macaroni is made
through a similar press. with the differ
ence that round piece of metal makes
the central hole. As it issues in long.
snaky ropes from the bottom of the
press they are violently famed to pre-
vent them from sticking together and
are afterward taken out into the open
and laid on long bamboo poles to dry.
Two or three days exposure in the
warm. sunny air Of Italy makes the
dough pipes hard and brittle and fit to
use for food.

A Greatly Desired Lady.

It would appear from bits of the So
cial gossip of her day that Miss Bur
dett-Coutts' nearest approach to an oc-
cupation was refusing offers of mar
rage. 1t is stated in Intimate Men,
oirs of Napoleon Ill" that. the name
of the prince of Adventures" was con-
nected with hers. that she refused the
Duke of Wellington and a score OF
lesser gentlemen.
For years the great heiress was the
most glittering matrimonial prize in
England. and when at last she con-
sented to change her condition by mar
rying an American London club wit
struck responsive chord by observ-
ing: Il don't blame Ashmead Bartlett
for proposing to the baroness. I've
done it myself. regard it as duty
every Englishman owes to his family"

The Air Mans Dream.

A French aviation expert is of opin-
ion that the day will come when COM
munication between the earth and the
moon and stars will be possible in aero
planes. Providing that radium is one
day found in larger quantities and that
some way of Harvesting its energies is
discovered by scientists. he calculates
that an aeroplane weighing a ton
should be able to cover the 23S.SOO
miles which separate the earth and the
moon in three hours and five minutes.
About 800 pounds Of radium would be
necessary to provide the fuel for the
journey. At the current price about
$1O.OOO.OOOOOO worth would be re-
CURED.
Trips to certain of the stars he con.
siders equally practicable. - London

REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Securities Sag a Little in
Quietest Day of the
Year So Far.

The week began with the smallest
volume Of business since last Novem-
Der. The usual accumulation OF OUT
side orders over Sunday was lacking
and trading was even quieter than on
Saturday. The assassinations IN Aus
tria failed to shake European bourses,
and trading in this market for foreign
account was confined TO trihing
amount of sales. At the close here
prices had sagged until fractional de-
clines were fairly general, but through
the list were many small gains. Bonds
we're about as dull as shares, the list
was narrow and price changes were IN
significant
The exchanges Of Europe, which had
been unsettled not long ago on reports
that the Emperor Franz Joseph was
seriously i'll, were remarkably steady
on their receipt of the news Of the vio-
lent death of his heir. Vienna was
closed because of a religious holiday.
Berlin. while opening lower, became
steady later, and Paris continued quiet.
London, while a bit unsettled at the
start. became calm in the late trading,
and American shares in London were
quiet and irregular.
Here the market opened with no GER
tain trend, and early business proved
abnormally small. Prices sagged
little without any definite pressure, and
in the early afternoon trading was al
most abandoned. Many shares usually
prominent in the list did not appear
ali day, and others were represented
only by one or two small transactions.
During the afternoon, in absence OF
business, gossip and rumors were cir
culated on the floor, included being
report that the Interstate Commerce
Commission was TO hand down its de
cision in the Eastern rate case after
the close. Even this failed to stlmu-
late any activity.
Such price movement as appeared
was confined to specialties. lnterna-
tional Steam Pump and General Motors
were weak. Continental Can issues ad-
vanced, as did National Biscuit pre-
ferred. United Dry Goods preferred
opened five points higher, at IS, clos
ing at 63h, and the final quotation on
the common was Is bid, rs asked. Sears
Roebuck and Woolworth were strong,
but quiet Among the bonds there was
some selling of st. Louis & San Fran
cisco refunding As. Many standard IN
vestment bonds were practically neg
lected.
From the Office Of the Collector Of
Internal Revenue in the Custom House
came word of heavy payments OF IN
come tax, which must be completed this
month. On Sub-Treasury operations
the banks since Friday have lost over
So, 100000. Fixed date funds on mar
ket collateral were firmer for the longer
maturities, but call loans continued to
be made in the familiar range of a
and 2 per cent, with renewals at "a.
Mercantile paper moved more freely
here and in other centres, and is appar-
emily getting back to the normal posi-
ton from which it was shaken by the
Clafin failure. Foreign exchange rates
were lower, demand sterling closing at
1876 and cables breaking sharply
from 4.S9 to 4.8S25. No further en-
gagements in gold were reported dur
ing business hours.

ON THE CONSOLIDATED
Call Prices Irregular, but De
clines Predominant.

Dealings in odd lots were in Crafty
ing proportions on the Consolidated
Exchange yesterday, considering the
general waiting attitude of the tinan-
cial district throughout the day. There
were transactions on the Consolidated
in American Smelling at 62A TO 621s,
American Sugar Refining at LOG, Amer
lean Cotton Oil at 4O%, Consolidated
Gas at 12S to 1885, and National Lead
at 449a.
Price changes recorded on the open
ing call were irregular, but there were
more declines than advances. Steel
after the call touched low price in
the early afternoon of 1914. 1t was the
issue most actively traded in, account
ing for $3.50 shares.

A GOOD RECORD.

A careful consideration Of the levy
as made by the board Of county COM
missioners for this year will impress
all fair minded people that the pre-
sent board has been a conservative
-one and also that they have been en-
deavoring to cut out all unnecessary
expenses. A study Of their administ-
ration and of the sweeping reduction
they are making in the levies is or
should be excellent argument for the
return of the two members who are
seeking reelection. The election of
Mr. Blair and Mr. Mitchell undoubt-
eddy means that the economical plans
of the present board will be carried
out as far as is possible. 1t means
that the county affairs will receive
careful attention and that they will
administered as cheaply as is con-
sistent with good government The
present attitude of the board and

STORAGE TEMPERATuREs.

| From 81 degrees to 80 degrees f.,
is the standard storage temperature
for apples, and this was found to be
the best for long keeping for the fruit
Higher temperatures permit the rip
ening of the fruit to advance more
rapidly than at 81 degrees to 80 de-
grees F., with the result that the
fruit at these temperatures reached
the end of its storage life much
sooner In addition the lower tenn
perature retards most effectively the
development of fungus decays and
skin blemishes. For short storage
period higher temperatures may be
used without serious trouble espec-
tally with the better keeping varie-
ties, but for long keeping 81 degrees
to 80 degrees F., will best maintain
the color, quality and texture Of the
fruit.
Apples should be withdrawn from
storage while still firm, and in this
condition can be held on the market
in satisfactory shape for several days
or weeks. If allowed to become ex
cessively oyerripened in storage how
ever, they will as rule hold in bet
ter condition after withdrawal from
storage than will comparable lots
from higher temperatures.
There are several other factors af
fecting the behavior of apples in
storage, but those discussed have
been found to be of greatest import
ance, and their proper control will
solve large percentage of present,
serious, storage difficulties.
