Frenchman in Caricature

Marcel Boulenger, in Cartoons Magazine.
 Why is it, I wonder, that the French man always has been-and still is-por- trayed in British comic journals in the traditional guise of a gay boulevardier. wearing a Van Dyke beard. and dressed in a ridiculous velvet jacket such as the Montmartre artists affect?
 Do you remember the legendary Marius of Marseille. whose droll sil- houette was one of the masterpieces of poor Caran d'Ache's delightful art? Such, or nearly such. is the portrait accorded us-in the most friendly way, of course-on the other side of the channel. In the native imagery of the British people it is thus we appear. And no matter where this strange, gay epinosage shows up. Tommy Atkins af- fectionately gives vent to cheers, for he has recognized his comrade.
 But why under the sun should the sympathetic Tommy picture us like that? He should know better now. He surely knows that the average French man no more resembles Marius than does the typical Englishman resemble Lord Dundreary. But no matter. Con venton so ordains

Mine That Hears

Edward r. Chandler, an inventor who has made a close study of submarine problems, has worked out a system of applying microphones to mines so that it would be possible to blow up a sub marine trying to worm it's way into a mine protected harbor, or a battle ship seeking to enter an harbor at night or in dense fog. He explains his plan in the July Popular Science Monthly
 In my system" writes MT Chandler
 the mines are arranged in groups of four, each group constituting a field unit. On each mine a microphone is mounted. These microphones literally hear the hum of a submarines motor Not only that but the particular micro phone which hears the submarine best,
 because it is the nearest to it. can easily be located.
 "It is simple enough to determine whether submarine is nearer mine or mine of given field unit of four mines The field units are intercon- nected electrically, so that the entire harbor is sown win high explosive.
 "A mine field equipped with micro phones in the manner indicated Is cleo trically connected with a luminous an- nounciator In other words, wires run from each microphone to a board which is divided into squares corresponding III WILL luOSe Ol lue InlHe Helu units. Behind each square a lamp is mounted. As a hostile ship passes through mine field the nearest micro phones pick up the vibrations of her propellers and the corresponding lamps on the board glow.
 Imagine New York harbor mined and microphoned in the manner that have described; imagine the mines connected with luminous announciator at Fort Wadsworth; imagine a sub
 marine crawling very, very cautiously through the field, thrusting aside with careful antenna, the anchor chains of the buoyant mines in it's path. An Ameri- can officer glues his eyes on the lumi nous board. One by one the squares glow before him-19, 36, 53, 66. Unwit- tingly the submarines commander plots his course in a trail of light. He cannot be seen with human eyes; and yet he | is al visible, electrically at least, as a | goldfish in a glass bowl. Square 7S, 1 says the American officer to himself, as new light flashes up. The time has come for decisive action He pulls a handle and switches the precious indi- cator into electrical connection with | Square 43. The sumarine is nearest mine "A" of that unit, for the micro phone on mine "A" is intensely active He presses a button. Miles away a col | umn of water is tossed into the air. An unseen enemy has been destroyed with awful suddenness; 20 brave sailors have been killed with merciful swiftness by a man who never saw their faces"

Avery's Letter

The cotton market today moved with in a comparatively narrow range, be- ing influenced a trifle upward from the opening prices by large exports, which in turn caused strength in the current months contracts This served to restrain bearsh enthusiasm. How ever the large exports probably are made up of sales made sometime ago, and as representing past commitments do not represent the attitude of pres ent purchasers
 The weather at the present time is of first importance. Whether it is good or bad for the growing crop for the remainder of this month and particu- larly during August, will depend the attitude of purchasers of cash cotton. If the weather continues favorable and the conditions prevailing during June are maintained during this period it is quite possible the crop indicated by the government July 1 report will be realized. which plus linters would be possible crop of 15, ,000, 900 bales. 1t is hardly likely that prices of 12%c as are at present prevailing for Octo- Der cotton. would be obtainable when that month becomes current, should the crop harvested prove as large as in- dicated above. -sft
 The other side of the question is this: The poor fertilization of the crop in the eastern pelt' Wltn an unIaVOraDle August, might diminish the probable yield a million and half bales. In, which case the demand for new cotton would very likely be large enough. to maintain prices but slightly under pres ent levels.
 But all of the latter is problematical We can only base our judgment on known facts. with a reasonable allow ance for unforeseen circumstances and the known facts are as enumerated

STOCK DEALINGS SHOW STARVATION Attendance of Traders the

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July Special )-Un- expected buying during the early ses- sion advanced prices some 10 points from the opening and the improvement was fairly held. This was presumed to be covering of short cotton and the holiday made the trade indifferent to new transactions. Apart from this the market was without feature, though the war outlook abroad had a stImulat- ing effect. Apart from that caused by the local and individual demand, gen eral business was limited

COTTON PRICES ARE
 STEADY AZ TER FALL
Initial Tone Somewhat Un. settled, But Market
 Steadies

New York, July 3.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet today and while fluctuations were irregular, prices showed a tendency to steady after the sensational break of Saturday October contracts, for instance, sold up to 129Sc, or points above Saturdays firal figure, and closed at 12.95c, with the general list closing steady at @ net advance of to 4 points
 Liverpool just about met the decline which followed the publication of the governments crop report in the mar ket here at the end of last week, and there were a good many selling orders around the ring at the opening. The initial tons was more or less unless un- settled in consequence with first prices 3 points lower to points higher put the market quickly steadied on active buying by brokers with Wall street con- nections
 The gossip was that this demand re- flected the replacing of large long line on which profits had been taken some days ago, and the buying which was esti- mated in the neighborhood of 30,000 bales proved sufficient to take care of the early selling.
 After working about to 8 points net higher on this support and scattered covering, the market reacted under con- tinued liquidation or local selling, which may have been inspired by reports of rains in drouthy sections of southwest Texas. October eased off from 12sSc to 12.S9c, while December sold off from 13c to 13.0c, or a couple of points under Saturdays final figures, but the pres sure soon subsided and Lrices steadied up later in the afternoon on bullish southern spot advices, New Orleans buying and renewed covering. Closing quotatio were within or points of the best.
