Cause of Seasickness

From the New York Times.
 The mystery surrounding, the cause of seasickness has been dispelled. It is an ear phenomenon. The ailment is a form of vertigo. All vertigos result from a disturbance of equilibrium, and the seat of equilibration is in the ear.
 Persons whose mechanism of equilibra- tion remains normal under all circum- stances never become seasick. Also, per- sons in whom the mechanism has been destroyed-deaf mutes. for instance-never suffer from mal de mer
 Absolute knowledge warranting these definite statements has been evolved slowly. It has not been due to an epoch making discovery by any one man. It has been the recognition, rather, of cer- tain facts bearing on the problem by in- dividual scientists whose theories and achievements have been put to the test In clinical practice
 Thousands of persons have been terror stricken at the onset of a vertigo which tradition had led them to believe must be the forerunner of some mortal illness, or an irreparable organic derangement. It is now certain, however, that no one can suffer from vertigo, no matter at what internal point it may seem to originate, unless there is an ear disturbance to give 1t an impetus.
 In other words, there is good news in the fact that vertigos in themselves are nothing like as serious as has generally been supposed-not only by the fay vic tims of the unpleasant experiences, but by the majority of the members of the medical profession themselves.
 A description of the mechanism of the ear and the disturbances which result in seasickness and other forms of vertigo IS a bewildering and complicated matter, and the solution of these mysteries is 8 notable achievement in scientific research.

CONTRACT COTTON
 MARKET REACTS
 FROM HIGH LEVEL
Coming Bureau Reports Seem to Inspire Liquida- tion-SpOt Prices Hold
 Firm During Period

New Orleans, December 3.-Prolonged reactions from the advance featured the trading in cotton last week. After standing at new high levels for the sea- son, and the highest levels ever reached in the future market, on the opening ses- sion the market was given over to re- actionary movement which increased in The coming bureau reports on ginning and the yield for the season appeared to inspire liquidation From the highest to tho lowest there was fall of 6S to 10S points. At the highest levels prices were IS to 24 points over the previous weeks close; at the lowest they were 50 to 7s points under. The close was at net loss of A to 73 points.
 Spots did not follow the decline in the contract market, but closed at 19.S8c for middling, the lowest of the week, and a net loss, compared to the previous weeks close of only points.
 This week the market will be largely absorbed in the census bureau report on ginning to the end of November, which is due at o'clock Friday morning. and the annual crop estimate from the depart ment of agriculture due the following Monday. The trade expects the ginning report to show about 650,000 bales ginned this last period, while the estimate of the yield is not expected to come far from 100000 bales.
 Forecasts of these two reports and evening up operations in preparation for them probably will be the chief in- fluences this week.

Time for Prayer

From the Pittsburg News.
 The married women were telling stories about the brightness of their respective offspring. They had reached the religious stage. One mother of Q girl of 6 years and boy of told this one:
 Carl and Ruth had been unusually annoying all the morning while I was trying to hang my parlor curtains. It seemed to me that they had never be- fore compressed so much noise in such a small space as my front room.
 It finally got so bad that I decided to take drastic measures I seized them each by one ear and led them none too gently into the farthest room from where I was working. Seating them on stools on opposite, sides of the fire place I warned them not to utter a single word for five minutes under pains of more severe punishment. As I turned to leave the room my little boy, with the utmost gravity, said to his sister:
 Ruth, let us pray
 "Forthwith both launched into the Lords prayer with the utmost fervor. Really" added the mother T didn't have the heart to punish them after that display of piety."

STOCK MARKET IS
 WELL SUSTAINED
 THROUGHOUT WEEK
Following Note of Warning From Reserve Board and Higher Money Quoted
 Prices Receded

New York, December 3.-All other events of a week replete with incidents on the market exchange were subordi- mated to the note of caution sounded by the federal reserve board regarding the proposed Anglo-F'rench short-term loan and the subsequent cancellation of that project.
 There was a rise of small loans to 61s per cent, the highest rate of the year. the direct outcome of the steady dwin- ding of local reserves in the three pre- ceding weeks.
 According to reliable data, there was no slackening during the past month of the country's general activity. Many new commercial and industrial records were made and the last month of the year gives promise of greater productive ity
 Temporary recessions in the quoted values of securities were preceded by de- clines in the more important staples and commodities, especially cotton and grains, in which speculative extrava- gance had exceeded operations in the stock market These reyersals were viewed with complacency.
 Widespread increase of wages was ac- cepted as a natural concommitant of the advance in prices of virtually all neces- sares. The problem attendant upon this condition of cause and effect finds par tial solution in the lessening of labor troubles and an increase of savings bank deposits.
 In the stock market prices, while somewhat irregular, were well sustained. As yet there are no signs of year-end investment inquiry such as accrue from the release of large sums in interest and dividend payments.
 Wall streets indifference to peace ru- mors was seen in the almost continuous depreciation of exchange on Germany and Austria

Cured of Borrowing

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Well, I've found a way to stop my neighbors from borrowing" said 8 young suburban matron gleefully. You see,' she explained, i've are not near any store, and, of course, sometimes one has to de- pend on a neighbor in an emergency. But my particular neighbor seemed to have such emergencies nearly every day And 1t was usually vinegar she wanted. Now We are particular about our vinegar and get the best variety, and. of course. when Mrs. Neighbor asked for vinegar we gave her of our best. But when she returned 1t she sent very cheap grade, which we were unwilling to use and were obliged to throw out.
 This was repeated so often that we be- gan to weary of it, and suddenly bright idea struck me. I carefully poured her cheap vinegar into a bottle and saved it. Next time she asked me to lend her vim egar I sent her own to her. The cure worked. She has never asked for another drop, and I suppose she thinks l am a mean sort of neighbor. But don't care

From the Youths Companion.
 Tn the cavalry service it frequently happens that, by reason of death deser- tions and discharge, the number of men in a troop is less than the number of horses on hand. A troop captain not long since had occasion to send a requi- sition for ordnance stores, including among other things '65 nose bags
 After the usual long interval this requi- sition was returned from the military depot with the indorsement Respect fully returned to Captain -, -th cav airy. The returns of his troop show that he has only 56 men, and exclamation is desired as to why he requires 6 nose bags"
 The captains indorsement in reply was as follows Respectfully returned. The nose bags are required for my horses, and not for the men,"

ADVANCING PRICES
 PUT NO STOP ID THE
 DEMAND FOR STEEL
Domestic and Foreign Or ders Continue to Come in to Further Crowd
 Mill Capacity
By "HOp"

New York. December 5--Buying of shell steel for exportation in 1917. the placing of rail contracts by domestic roads for shipment in 1918 and excited buying of pig iron for next year at rapid ly advancing prices are the most pronli- nent features of business in the iron trade industry. Of scarcely less importance is the continued placing of large orders for other railroad equipment, especially for cars and the insistent demand for steel to be used in the construction of ships
 Contracts placed for ingots, billets and bars designed for the manufacture of war munitions abroad now are estimated at 1,300,000 tons for shipment in the second half of 1917. Of the total 600,O00 tons are credited to the United States Steel corporation and 100000 tons to in- dependent mills. Including sales for ex- port in the first half of next year the entente allied governments now have se- cured 2,000,000 tons of American shell steel to be shipped in 1917. Sales are re- ported at 4 to AZ cents per pound.
 Domestic railroads have either closed contracts or reserved mill space for l. 000,0O0 tons of standard section rails for rolling and shipment in 1918 at the re- cent advance in prices.
 The Southern roads have called for 100000 tons.
 Merchant car builders took orders for nearly 10000 cars in November. making total of IS, ,500 bought in the last three months.
 Foreign shipments want 1500O0 tons of steel plates and shapes and domestic boat builders would buy as much more if it were available. A few contracts are being closed. .
 November sales of pig iron are esti- mated at 1,S0o,0oo tons, including 5000o0 tons during the last week. These are the heaviest monthly sales ever reported. Prices of steel making iron have again advanced s to 5 a ton.
