THE WEIGHT OF LIGHT.
Pressure Exerted on Earth by sun Es-
timated mt 10000 Tons.
CFrom the London Post)

Both from theory and experiment we
are satisfied that light exerts pressure.
and this pressure when exerted on the
earth by the sun was calculated by the
late Professor Poynting as Amounting to
7oOOO tons. This property OF radiation
mas lately been used by Professor Lam
gevin In illustration Of one OF the flaws
which are perceptible in Newtonian
mechanics For example, according to
Newtons third law of motion. action and
reaction are equal and opposite to
every action there is an equal and OPP
positely directed reaction. But the forces
created by an electrified body do not
conform to this law, This is especially
evident when radiation also occurs.
Suppose that an incandescent body is
giving off light, that is to say. electro
magnetic radiation, uniformly in all di-
recuons. BY reason of the symmetry of

LOOK FOR ARMY-WORM
MOTHS WITH ONE
COLORED WING.

Everyone interested in the destruction
of the army-worm pest is being requested
by the United States department of agri-
culture to look out for army-worlt moths
with one artincially-colored wing The
departments entomologists are catching
army worm moths where they are plenti-
full, coloring one wing of each, and then
liberatinR them in the same territory. so
that they may determine whether these
moths fly directly west. or north, and how
quicly and far they will spread. A better
better knowledge of the habits of this pest
should enable the department to control
its spread. No moths are to be let loose
whore their liberation could possibly add
to the natural damage.
The moths are already showing them
selves in Virginia and in Maryland, and
the departments agents are catching
specimens at Portsmouth and Charlottes-
vile in Virginia, and Hagerstown In
Maryland. The agents at Portsmouth are
applying a red stain to one wing Of each
specimen caught; those at Charlottesville
black or yellow stain: and those at Ha-
gerstown a violet color. Then the moths
ale left to follow the natural course they
would have pursued.

hopes to control the spread of the pests
more completely in coming years.

in Railroad Case.
VIRGINIA RAILWAY GAIN

With the publication OF the earnings
statement of the Southern Railway Tor
June and twelve months showing the net
operating income for that period, II was
estimated that a dividend balance would
be shown equal to over per cent on
the $4,000, 900 preferred stock; or, after
allowing for the full 5 per cent on that
issue, a balance would remain equivalent
to slightly better than 2 per cent on the
$40 OO0o 900 common. Publication Of the
annual report showed this estimate to
be @tray to the extent OF 1 per cent on
the preferred or 1-2 Of per cent on the
common.
This difference was due entirely to an
unexpected debit balance for hire Of
equipment, amounting to $50, ,7ls against
a credit balance of $5,072 in the previous
year, resulting in an increase on the
debit side Of this account Of sos, 7S6. This
unsatisfactory development was appar-
entity due to the fact that the Southern
handles a large amount of ladings orig
mating on other lines and when business
is slack as in the last fiscal year. there
results a very considerable per diem
charge in returning empty cars to the
routes to which they belong.
Also during the year the company re-
dUced the average number of freight cars
in service 2e3 per cent through retiring
absolutely worn-out and inefficient cars.
This latter condition is being remedied
by the order, placed during the year for
5,g55 freight cars and additional power
at a total cost of S;S2S.6Ss.
EARLY Action Desired.
The data submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission in behalf Of the
Eastern roads contained nothing that Is
not already known in a general way, but
it was well assembled and strengthened
confidence in favorable action by the In
terstate. Commerce Commission. But it
is not merely favorable action that
financial circles hope for; early action is
wanted as suspense will be even more
6iscOuraEing 10 sentiment than flat re-
jeotion Of the petition. Some promise Of
a speedy decision was seen in the re-
minder from the commission that the
case is being re-heard and unnecessary
quizzing Of Witnesses will be frowned on.

showed that while they, collectively. had
paid out Ass per cent in dividends in
The last fiscal year, that dividend had
not been earned, the deficiency being

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS.

Chi0go, Oct D.-SeIling pressure in wheat wai
more pronounced today than at any time in seT.
eral weeks The selling was in the way Of secur
ing prOhts BY longs and there were prics dips Of
Sal 7-sc. It has been anything hut an easy
matter Of late to SECURE profits in wheat futures
because Of the abrupt price changes at times and
for this reason some Of the larger holdeB with
profits TO their credit proceeded to secure their
money when the buying power carly in the day
was equal to the offering The selling continued
during the entire session. Nearly all the wheat
70 ehaHss hands % export account today was Of
Manitoba growth. New York reported 10000
bushels sold and Winnipeg 4O.oO bushelS In
addition there were goodly transactions via the
Gull, the yalumn being placed around 10000 bushels
in all positions. Transactions in -four were active
at ST. Louis and they were fair in other positions
with exporters the principal buyeTS
feature Of the wheat market here today. and
It may be said to have been reflection Of the under
current Of strength, the absence Of heavy short
ssIling. There were sales on hedging account, but
there was no great pressure against the actual wheat
to come forward.
Notwithstanding the decline in values and the
fact that some Of the larger in the trade
led IN the selling. Il Dlust not be inferred that
wheat has changed from 4 strong TO = weak posi-
ton, as this is not the case. Instead Of the de-
cline uncoTering lot Of resting ordsn export
account, 1t may be Said that foreigners failed to
readily follow the market downward, as some Of
them are impressed with the idea that there is
possibility of a further break.

STEEL SENT SOUTH.
Demand from Abroad Indicates Re-
covery of Manufacturers.

That the European war will allow
American Steel manufacturers to obtain
foot-hold in South America and other
foreign markets is, according to manu-
facturers, a foregone conclusion, pro-
vided the Americans act quickly and get
their lines laid.
Thus far the war has caused a Dig
drop in shipments of steel products
abroad, but manufacturers are beginning
to recover. For some weeks the shipping
facilities were such that none could
send a ton of steel. because OF lack of
bottoms.
The United States Steel Corporation
which does practically all Of the foreign
business in seml-finished and finished
steel from this country has been the
only company with ships to carry its
products and even its fleet was held up
for several weeks at the beginning Of
the war.
