Cement From e..,.

1t is now reported that a French
hrm Is making an excellent cement
from a by-product in the process OF
making beet sugar. The scum that
forms when the beets are boiled, and
which has heretofore been thrown
away consists largely OF carbonate OF
hme hnd water. and from 10000 tons
OF beet treated 1000 tons Of carbonate
OF lime are obtained; to this 100 tons
OF clay are added, the resulting pro-

KING CREDITED WITH VIOLIN

Ravana, king Of Ceylon, is believed
TO have invented the violin. 5000 r G.
The instrument was called the ravan.
astron. A similar instrument was In.
troduced into Great Britain by the
Anglo-Saxons under the name of fytbel
from which the modern word fiddle"
Is derived. The violin in it's present
FORM vas first made in the fifteenth or
sixteenth century. The earliest violin
maker was Gaspard di salo Of LON.
bardy, Italy. Il is thought that the
italian school OF violin making was
founded by him at Brescia. Violina
were the principal bowed instruments
from the end OF the fifteenth 10 the
end OF the seventeenth centuries. hut
they were gradually replaced bv vio-
ms OF Brescian make. The school Of
Cremona so perfected the art OF violin
making that the Cremona violin no.
came the most famous Of all musical
instruments. Modern makers have
never been able TO improve on the
Cremona violins. Andrea Amati found
ed the Cremona school The greatest
OF all violin makers was Antonio Stra-
dlvari. His best work was done from
100 to 1870. This is known as "a.
golden period"

MOST PERFECT OF PLANTS
Working Of the Human Body Makes
Any Invention of Man Seem Like
Plaything.

The most complicated manufac,ur
ing plant that ever existed is the hu.
man body as controlled under the sci.
entiiic management of the brain and
nervous system. No factory ever boast
I'd more efficient producer plant for
converting fuel into energy. No plant
ever had so well-designed a pumping
system, nor one so perfect for the
disposal OF waste and sewage. Talk
OF up-to-date heating and ventilating,
or tnterdepartment telephone! The
best that our modern science can put
into our shops Is crude indeed as COM
pared with that furnished by the
Great Designer. Suppose that you
went TO a pump manufacturer with the
following specification:
Wanted, a pump with capacity of
One-quarter gallon a minute, to handle
warm salty fluid. to work for seventy
years night and day without a shut
down, at the rate Of seventy strokes
per minute. Must be guaranteed to
operate for the full period of time
without repairs or adjustments. TO re.
qulre no attention; must have auto
matte control and contain its own mo-
tive power. and must have a duty per
million foOt-pounds superior 10 the
best triple-expansion high-duty unit
ever made.
Do you think the manufacturer
would bid for the job? II he we're a
timid man he would probably agree
with you and tell you to come around
next week. meanwhile edging you
toward the door before your insanity
took a violent form. Or If he were
not afraid OF lunatics he would say:
You poor bug, such a pump as YOU
speak OF never existed nor ever will
except in the brain Of a perpetualmo-
Ion freak such as see before mel"
Which shows how much he knows
bout II. for both you and he carry
ust such a pump around with you.
nd each Of you thinks too much of
our possession to sell II for any
ioney.-Jobn II. Van Deyenter. in the

Losses Wiped Out Upon Reassur-
ing AdYiCes Of Morsan's Condition

New York, July Stocks were
only temporarily depressed today on
news of the shooting of j. p. Morgan.
The market showed an uncertain tone
at the outset, mainly as a result of
renewed weakness in st. Paul. United
States Steel. which is regarded as a
Morgan speciality. broke i Ia points
while the selling was at it's height
with losses of l to 2 points in other
industrials, including some of the
war shares. Railroad stocks, partic-
ularly the Pacifics and grangers, had
shown an early inclination to react in
sympathy with st. Paul. Reassuring
advices regarding Mr.. Morgan's con-
dition caused a general wiping out of
losses. The closing was irregular.

the opening of the year. Prices are
firm and many concerns are likely to
show greatly improved net results.
The railroad situation is also more
satisfactory. Gross earnings are not
making as, good a showing as antici-
pated, but the results in net often
show encouraging gains, and the
weakest spots in the railroad situa-
ton appear to have been pretty thor
oughly discounted. Crops are some
what backward owing to prevalent
cool weather, but a few weeks Of
higher temperature would quickly
compensate for this deficiency. The
nations acreage is larger than usual
and the condition of most crops, PR
ticularly wheat and cotton, is entirely
satisfactory.
Money Market Busy.
The money market is easy and
there is an abundance Of funds .or
good investments The July disburse-
ments were 500, 900, or not quit
as large as usual. The offerings OF
new issues have been somewhat SIN al
Ter. The output of new securities
since January 1st was about $685.
100000. and compares with $1,0s2-
sues were on a particularly small
scale being one-half of last years fl
cures. On the other hand, new in
corporations in the principal States
aggregated $3.50. 100000 or sos, 0o3-
600 more than year ago and the
largest June on record. These figures
at least suggests rise in confidence.
A good deal of current investment
money is going into American secLr-
tiles returned from abroad, very con,
siderable sums in stocks and bonds
having been taken back during the
past two weeks. In this way our inA
ternational debt is probably being
reduced more rapidly than is recog-
nized. Further selling on foreign ac-
count is anticipated. which will tend
to restrain gold imports; also to Gil
minish the necessary credits granted
to Europe. Now that the availsb Die
supply of gold at Ottawa has beers
practically exhausted. imports from
France and Russia are among the
possibilities. This security market IL
on a sound and promising basis, but
the prospect of additional European
liquidation prevents any important
further enhancement of values just
at this time.

Caused by Caution o. Skipper.

London, July 3.-TEe Norwegian
ship Hansen has justkaErived at Shors-
ham England, from Sweden. after
being eleven months on trip which
ordinarily occupies less than fort
night. The excessive caution of tho
skipper in avoiding war dangers was
responsible for the delay.
A few days after the Hansen left
Sweden the war broke out. and the
vessel Immediately put into a Nor
wegian port to wait for things to
settle down. Several times during the
autumn and winter tn skipper re-
solved to make a new start, but each
time he was deferred b. news of mine
fields or submarine activities in the
vicinity. 1t was April when he final.
ly get away. and then, in order to
avoid submarines, he took a round
about course north of Scotland and
west of ireland.
His caution was in vain for off the
south Irish coast he was stopped by
German submarine, but after some
delay was allowed to proceed.

fetal actions were investigated last
fall as the result Of charges made
against him, arrived in New York
from santo Domingo aboard the Clyde
liner Iroquois. No action as vet has
been aiken by the state department
as a result of the investigation. but it
is regarded as significant that the
minister has brought his family back
to the states with him and is accom-
paried by forty-six pieces of baggage
The oa.y word that could + e extracted
from Sullivan as to his affairs was the
inform ~tion that he is going to Wash

Perhaps the most Significant effect
of the war was the low prices rea-
lized on New York City's AZ per

the war capital is commanding high

no surprise, but should in fact be ex-
pected to continue as long as war Fl =,

not possible to waste $4,000, 000.-
900 to $40, 1000, 100000 dollars a year,
which is what the present
European war is costing without
profoundly affecting the worlds 4

inevitably means higher rates. The
