 STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 9-Opening-Far from being adversely affected by yes- terday's unfavorable crop report, the market opened today with a general show of the firmness, followed by pronounced strength. Munitions, equipments, motors and Mexicans were materially better with further gains in shipping issues. Interna- tiopal Paper pfd added another sub- stantial gain to it's recent advances in connection with dividend prospects and United Cigar Stores advanced four points on reports of an increas- ed disbursement. Industrial Alcohol rose two points and rails. including Changers and Pacifics, were measur- ably higher.
 Noon-Marines led all other spec tacular favorites during the forenoon, the trading in the preferred exceed ing that in half a dozen other issues combined. The stock made an extreme gain of N points, with only a small fraction for the common. but Atlantic. Gulf & West Indies rose to new high record.

Wheat Prices Soar.
 on Chicago Market

Chicago, Aug. s-Wheat prices shot upward eight cents bushel today at the opening of the wheat market The December option touched $1.45 on first trading as against $1.37 at yes terday's finish.
 Sensational crop damage confirm ed by the government report was the cause of the extraordinary advance.
 So much excitement ruled in the pit that transactions in many cases were three cents apart at the same instant. The initial range on December varied from $1.42 to '$1.45.
 Jumps in the value of other options than December, although radical. were not quite SO severe. Taken as whole, the market opened. i've to eight cents higher and when relative steadiness was established showed 5% to 6N cents gain as compared with yester- days close.

eavases and Place Names.

It is very rare that savages give names to extensive lands as a whole, and at first sight this seems surpris- ing. Yet when we reflect that the av- craze savage rarely travels more than 100 miles from his birthplace it is quite natural he should know nothing beyond his personal knowledge.
 If savages live on very large island they are acquainted with only small part of 1t and give names only to those portions with which they are familiar.
 The largest islands of the Pacific have no native names. No name for the continent of Africa is known among It's savage tribes. When told that they live in Africa a common response is that they never heard of such a coun- try.
 As rule, Pacific explorers were care ful to retain native names if they could ascertain them. Cook was particular ly desirous to retain native names for all his greater discoveries because he could find no other appellahons.-Ex- change

Bella In Ireland.

A peculiar interest attaches to the bells which tourists and collectors find in Ireland. 1t is said that 1t was St, Patrick who taught the monks and craftsmen how to make bells after he had gone to the Emerald Isle in 40. Many of the early hells remain and are examples of exquisite decoration. A
 copy of the bell cover of St. Patrick is now in the South Kensington mu- scum and is perfect example of Celt- ic art, while the silver bell of St. Mora, in the Wallace collection, is hardly less interesting. It is of unique style,
 with its fligrced ornaments plaited and twisted and nterlaced.-Exchange

Danced In Court.

An unusual scene was once witness ed in French law court, the civil tribunal at Nantes. The proprietor of a local theater had engaged a young lady dancer, whose performances at rehearsals did not come up to his ex- pectations. He therefore would not let her appear, and the fair dancer took action against him for breach of contract. The defendant alleged that she had not even learned the first steps or her art, ard, here being plain issue, the judge determined to decide for himself. A space was accordingly forthwith cleared on the floor of the court, and in these unusual surround ings the young lady duly went through her steps and pirouettings. In the re- suit the judge felt justified in certify ing that she was quite an expert dan cer and decided the case in her favor. Henceforth she advertised herself as the only dancer in the country with legal certificate of proficiency.

How Lean Year Started

Hampson in his "Medii OEVI. Ka- landarium" quotes the following quaint tradition from an old Saxon treatise: Some assert that the bissextus or leap day comes through this, that Joshua prayed to God that the sun might stand still for one days length that he might sweep the heather from the land that God had granted him and his followers. It is true that the sun did stand still for, one days length over the city of Gebaon, but the day went forward in the same manner as other days. And the bissextus is not through that, as some do think"

He Wanted to Know.

The late B. H. Hartman, says the Wall Street Journal, was a stickler for facts. He cared little for an approxi- mate statement. When he asked his employees for information he wanted 1t definite.
 While traveling through Nevada one day with a number of the officials of the Union Pacific the train passed a little station with much platform, 6 bleak background of 'sagebrush and junipers and no habitation within sight.
 What is that station there for?'' asked MT. Hartman of one of the railway officials with the party.
 "They ship few cattle and two or three cars of wool"
 (Which is it. two or three" snapped MT. Hartman. (Which is it? There Is a difference of B 1-3 per cent"

Birds as lamps.

The natives of Trinidad make use of the young guacharo in an unusual man. ner. The young are very fat and are frequently found to weigh more than the full grown birds. Their fat is used by the natives to produce an oil which is substitute for butter. Also 1t is frequently the custom of the natives to draw a wick through the body of a young guacharo and use 1t as lamp or candle. Thus the guacharo is some times called the oil bird.
