1t will naturally occur to the reade,
that these variations of the sun must
have some influence on the tempera.
ture Of the earth. and SO they do, But
here very curious thing Is found
Studies of Koppen and others have
shown that the temperature Of the
earth generally is more than l degree
Fahrenheit lower when sun-spots are
at their maximum. From what has
gone before we would naturally expect
the temperature to be higher at sun
spot maximum, and studies of the
writer would indicate that 3h per
cent increase in solar radiation might
cause a rise of about or 4 degrees
Fahrenheit in the earth's temperature
The reason for this discrepancy is not
yet known, but there is a hint which
may lead to an explanation. DR..
Magelssen of Christiania, in Norway,
has made a study of the temperatures
of Christiania and Berlin, and he finds
that the influence of sun~spots on tenn
perature at these two far-northern
stations is greater in winter. when the
sun is most of the time below their
horizons. Thus it seems that there
must be an indirect influence associat-
ed with sun-spots, contrary and great
er in it's effect than the increase in the
suns radiation. This indirect influence
diminishes the earth's temperature
when spots are numerous. despite the
greater quantity of heat the sun is then
sending. Such an indirect action might
be the production of increased cloudi-
ness on the earth. and this in turn
might be caused by an increased bonn
bardment of the earth by electric
charges. or ions. such as are thought
by some to be emitted by the sun.
do NOT urge these views. but merely
suggest them The explanation of the
curious relation of solar spottedness.

perature awaits future 1nvestigation.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. November There
was large attendance at the cotton ex-
change again today. and the talk around
the floor indicated that the action of
the Liverpool market since the reopen
ing for restricted business yesterday
had made a favorable impression on
sentiment. The English spot market
was points higher at 4.66d. and ex-
pectations of an improving export de-
mand were encouraged by reports that
Russia had established special credits
here which would be used largely for
the purchase of cotton. There were
also reports from the United States
embassy at Berlin indicating that
available supplies of cotton at Bremen
were practically exhausted and that
prices ranged around Is to IS cents
for old crop. with IL cents or better
offered for new crop cotton. Decem-
Der contracts here sold around 7.55 to
their offers from the south indicated
continued frmness in the interior.
Practically all necessary signatures
are now said to have been obtained
to the corporation-syndic agree

that whatever action might be taken
by the courts with reference to the
Pell cotton. there would be no inter-

Attention in the wheat pit centered
largely on the fact that for the first

country offerings were reported to be
lighter in all sections. and it was the
opinion of many traders that turning

also expressed that the rise in ocean
freight rates would attract tonnage

In this connection special Significance

THE HUMAN FACTOR.
The influence of Machinery in the
Worlds Industrial Life.

From the Chicago Tribune
| The spirit of democracy which has
been leveling down castles and classes
| within nations has now invaded Industry
| with the result that the skilled mechanic
has ceased to be the industrial aristocrat
he was a few years ago. There are, OF
course, a number Of trades in which
the human factor is still in the ascend
ancy; where individual skill Is recog-
nized and paid for. In the majority OF
| industries. however. perfected machinery
takes the place Of individual skill. The
unskilled, ignortant laborer is on par
with the man who has had years Of ex-
perience.
These facts need to be looked squarely
In the face need to be emphasized just
now. especially because of the false con-
struction which is being put In certain
quarters upon the movement Tor bet
ter and more thorough education Of the
working people. Many advocates Of con-
tinuation courses for children between
the ages of fourteen and seventeen who
are obliged to go to work convey the
that Ssx eoSvsv lion
impression that industry is clamoring
for more educated. moro skilled workers:
that 1t is accepting the unskilied. un-
educated laborer under protest. Educate
grab you and your wages will go UP
automatically. That is the gist Of their
arguments.
The danger Of such assertions lies in
the fact that there Is some truth In
them. We are suffering from a want of
properly trained men in few highly
specialized OCCUPATIONS. In these occupa-
tions a boy with good training may
be given preference over boy with
poor education. In the basic industries
Of the worker is not taken into account
His health and strength are The skilled
work In the iron and steel industry. for
instance, Is done by machines. The man
directing the machine needs no special
educational qualifications. In other
words, the unskilled man is not there
by accident. but by design. Industry
needs him.
To make children believe that two
or three years attendance at an evening
school gives them passport to higher
wages is to mislead them. Better. more
enlightened citizenship Is argument

The Steel Corporation.
Judge Gary's statement that the
United States Steel Corporation will
not reduce wages unless it becomes
necessary as defensive policy on the
part of the corporation is right in line
with the policy in force since the set
tlement of the Homestead strike, which
came upon the company shortly after
its organization.
Since then there has been nothing in
the nature of serious trouble with la
Dor in the great plants of the organiza-
tion, despite efforts in that direction
by agitators.
A recent article in this column
showed the vital Importance of the
steel corporation to the investing pub
lie, the Importance of it's immense
dividends and the seriousness of anv
necessitated cut in this distribution. as
in the case of the recent reduction in
the dividend on the 5O8,0OO shares of
| common stock.
AS an employer of labor the steel
corporation Is probably. first-perhaps
the greatest in the world. On it's pay
rolls in 1913 it had the names of 22S, ,9O6
employes-an army in itself; a city
several cities. in fact-with not less
| than a million people depending on it
for support, directly and indirectly
tens of thousands more. Judge Gary is
| authority for the statement that the
1914 force totaled 100000 employees.
Wages Paid.
And the pay roll is enormous, totaling
in 1913. s207,206.176, enabling the en-
ployes to live in a respectable manner,
some of them in comparative luxury,
as shown during the Homestead strike
investigation
The average wage is s905 year,
which is an evidence of some high
wages, for there must be many un-
skilled laborers in the great force
| working at much below the average
| pay.
Both the working force and the wage
average per man have increased steadi-
~ since the formation of the corpora
| tion, the average wage from s717 per
man. in 1902, to S9O5 in 1913.
The relationship Of wages. average
wages and average wage per ton OF
finished steel are decidedly interesting
all going to show in the most strik-
ing manner the great importanc. of the
| corporation.

OYSTERS AGAIN.

OYSTER STEw.-Choose about fifty
nice large oysters. Place them In q
colander AND allow them to stand until
the juice has drained Off. Now drop
the colander into a pan of cold water
and allow the oysters to drain a second
time. Heat a saucepan piping hot
throw in the oysters and shake once OF
twice over the fire SO that the water
will be dried off without curling the
gills. Cover with two cups of milk and
push on the back of the stove SO that
the milk can heat gradually. Cream
together one tablespoonful Of flour and
one tablespoonful of butter. Bring the
saucepan to the front of the stove and
as soon as the milk boils up thick en-

stir until the sauce becomes creamy
but not really thick. Add six whole
dash of pepper and serve at once In
heated soup plates with toasted crack
ers.
.EscALLoPED oYsTERs:-Drain the
liquor from the oysters into a dish.
Look over the oysters to remove all
shells or grit. Cover the bottom of a
pudding dish with bread crumbs. Put
In layer Of oysters, season with salt
pepper and a generous bit of butter.
Add another layer of crumbs and so on
until the dish is filled, leaving crumbs
on top. Dot with butter and bake.
Take the oyster liquor and a generous
piece of butter, and keep hot on the

top This is considered better than
adding moisture in the first place. Milk
or cream can be mixed with the liquor
if desired.
OYSTER OMELET.-Blanch eight or
a dozen large oysters in their own
liquor until edges begin to curl. Season
them with salt. red pepper and two
drops of lemon juice. Then prepare a
plain omelet with six eggs, pour in the
hot oysters when the lower half is
cooked. fold over the top, slide on a
hot dish. baste with butter and serve
Immediately.
CREAMED OYSTERS.-To cream oys-
ters deliciously cook them first until

n cupful of milk and stir until it ia

and pepper and trace of papnka and

they are scalded.
OYSTER COCKTAILS.-There is
fancy abroad for serving the oyster
