Foreign Exchange
Situation Tangled
by Arabic Incident
American Financiers Are Facing Pos
sibility Of Having to Finance
Domestic Loan

New York, Aug. 20. -Misgivings as
to developments in this country's re-
lations with Germany as the result
of the destruction of the Arabic was
the feature of the foreign exchange
situation today. The possibility that
American bankers might be called on
to finance large domestic loan gave
rise to many rumors concerning the
negotiations now pending over the
flotation of a $150,000,000 foreign
credit loan or some other form of
British credit here.
I'VE can well conceive of such a
situation" was the comment of one
international banker whose views
were sought upon this point,
A report that negotiations for the
flotation of a British credit loan OF
from $1OO,OO0,O00 to $150,00O,O00 to
pay for American supplies purchased
by foreign buyers had been virtually
suspended was denied.
Financial representatives that the
allied powers while asserting that
the situation had become complicated
by reason of the Arabic incident, re-
Trained from discussion of the pros
pect for placing the contemplated
foreign loan as did also domestic f.
nanciers.
Aside from the Arabic, the feature
of the day in foreigning exchange
markets was the reported decision
of British financiers and treasury au
thorities to send a deputation of three
men from London to New York to ar
range the details of the projected
loan. Their arrival here, it was said
would be unanimously welcomed by
! American bankers as an DEVIATION oil
the difficulties of negotiating loar
of such large proportions In these
days of censored and delayed cables
! No more eminent financial authorities
il was said. could have been found II
London than Sir Edward Holden ant
Sir Felix Schuster, who, it was re
ported, probably would be two OF thu
three men.
It seemed definitely settled tonigh
that negotiations would remain II
allegiance until the arrival here of tn
deputation. Dispatches from Londo
stated that the date of their depai
ture might not be made public unit
their arrival in New York and to thi
the bankers here could not add.

Defylno the Stomach.

While trying to drink a quart OF
whisky without taking the bottle from
his lips Isaac B. Pierson of Clarks-
vile, N. j., recently succumbed to
heart trouble. He had won the whisky
on the Harvard-Yale football game,
and was SO elated that he insisted
that his stomach was as good as his
judgment. He had almost accom-
plished the task when he dropped to
the floor.
More fortunate was Willis Hunting
of Milwaukee, who took to himself a
short time ago the title of champion
almond eater Of his city. He was
very fond of burnt almonds and on a
wager agreed to consume five-pound
box. He performed the feat, ate half
a pound more to show that he had
not won by fiuke and then-took to
his bed. A doctor had to be called,
but with the liberal use OF the stom-
ach pump Hunting pulled through.

Simple Life at ST. Andrews.

The university Of st. Andrews,
where Professor Herkless is appoint
ed principal in succession to Sir
James Donaldson, formerly bore closer
resemblance to our southern seats Of
learning than the other Scottish uni
versities.
The practice Of residing within the
walls prevailed longer here than else
where. and ceased mainly because the
rooms were allowed to become unin-
habitable in the interest Of the pro-
fessors' Candlemas dividends. Andrew
Lang once met an aged st. Andrews
man who remembered the last under
graduate resident in college. He GER
tainly lived the simple life" because
he cooked for himself and peeled his
potatoes with razor!
But the resident undergraduates
must have been troublesome tenants.
says the Westminster Gazette. They
had a playful habit of breaking all
the windows when they left, and one
Of them declared that IL he did not
get more drink he would burn down
the college.

Pocket Shower Bath.

A Californian has invented a shower
bath which traveller can carry in his
pocket. 1t is q nickel-plated brass
tube with cork, says the Indianapolis
News. The tube is bent like fish
hook and one end inserted in the cork
through hole in the center, with a
round plate to keep 1t from slipping.
The other end of the tube is flattened
to make a narrow slit about half an
inch long at the end. This slit causes
the water to spray. The other end Is
fitted to any faucet in a bathtub OF
washbowl, and the force OF the water
causes fine and sufficient spray &c
spout that gives a refreshing shower
bath. The spray is not great or strong
but 1t is enough to be the means o
great refreshment to the tired trav
eler. The cork is inserted In the fau
Get and, OF course, can be made to Il
any size aperture.

ed Fruit liner Abangarez at Havana

Primitive "Timepleces."

One Of the most primitive time-re-
cording devices employed by the Chi
nese and Japanese was knotted wick
about two feet in length which smol-
dered without breaking into flame, and
indicated the passage of an hour by
the time consumed in burning between
two knots. King Alfred is credited
with having established system
whereby twelve-inch wax candles were
divided into equal distances; relatively
third of an hour being required to
burn an inch A candle of this type,
but only ten inches in length, is ex.
hibited in the collection In the Wash
ington museum.

Nuts as Food.

Nuts form a very concentrated form
of food, in many cases more so than
cheese, and when nationally used they
are readily digested and form a part
plentiful In many localities and should
not be allowed to go to waste. A
pound Of walnuts will produce almost
three times as much energy as pound
of steak. Such being the case, would
not the use of considerable quantity
of walnuts, butternuts, and hickory
nuts be a valuable addition to the
households supply of provisions?
