New York Cotton.

New York, Dee. [. Easier Liver pool cables served to check the buy ing movement in cotton at the open ing of the market here today, and after starting at n decline of tm6 points. active months sold about 1GM 13 points under last nights closing figures right after the call. The open iny was slightly better than due on thc cables and houses with Liverpool connections were free sellers on the decline to 20.01e for January and 20 iSc for May. There was also seat tcring li0uid2ti0n by some of yeStcr- days buyers. while the support, Nhiq'p had been rather active and az sressiNc late yesterday, was evident ly lacking.
 The Liverpool sclling here during thc first hour was estimated d! about "3000 bales. but after those offerin%S had been absorbed, support became more aggreeSivc and active months sold lmG points net higher. The re- port of prominent Chicago att thority estimating the crop at 1O,6S9,- OGO bales, excluding lmtcrS. probab- ably accounted for some of the west eln buying. but demand tapcred off around 2OGJc for Nay and prices showed slight reactions early in the noon hour.
 Scattering liqu 'aticn and local scllinp became q little active durin2 the afternoon and prid S oaScd of if about 2o.09c for January and 2o.'oc for May. or about lmo points net lower. sentiment seemed to be un- settled by rumors of a less favorable turn in international politics.

A Zeppelin raid over the east coast
of Scotland was announced in q Curl
GUS manner by phcasants. At mid
night colony of young birds became
extraordinary clamorous, the sound,
it is said, resembling a long drawn
wall. An old man who knows all
about pheasants was awakened out of
his sleep by the noise, and remarked
Something Is gaun to happen" a
Ing bombs was heard, and the sky be-
came inlamed. 1t IS Of course, "A fact
Of natural history that phcasants, like
all hunted creatures great and small
are peculiarly sensitive Of hearing.

FOR BALL-BEARING PARTS
Measuring Machine That Is Infinitely
More Sensitive Than a HUI
man Being.

The average person has little con-
CcptiOn of the accuracy with which it
Is necessary to work on some classes
of machinery, Ball-bearing parts, for
instance, are produced in large guam
titles, yet in some cases the limit Of
error is placed at one-tenth of one
thouSandth of an inch or about one
twentieth the thickness of n human
hair. The human sense of touch is
coarse in comparison.
4 multiple indicator described in
Popular Science is a very satisfactory
device for measuring parts that must
be accurately gagged without loss of
time. The machine consists of sub
stautial base plate WithGn accurately
ground, hardened steel facing and an
integral standard carrying a measur-
ing appliance. The dial Indicator
reads in thouSandths of an inch, each
graduation representing a one-thOu-
sandth inch movement Of the indicator
stem.
The work to be measured Is placed
under the measuring point on the null
tipIying lever. AS this is very near
tie fulcrum, n relatively slight mo-
don will be changed to one of ten
times that magnitude Mt the dial in
dicator. If the work is but one-thou-
sandth inch larger or smaller than the
standard, the pointer Of the indicator
will move over ten graduations on the
dial. An error Of onc-tenth of thou
sandh viii move the pointer one
graduation.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
THE ELDER SISTER.

There is no character in the home
circle more useful and beautiful than
a devoted elder sister who stands side
by side with the toiling mother, light
ening all her cares and burdens. How
beautiful the household machinery
moves on with such efficient help
Now she presides at the table in her
mothers absence, always 50 neatly at
tired that it is with pride the father
introduces her TO his guest as "our
oldest daughter" Now she takes a lit
tie troop into the garden with her and
amuses them, so mother may not be
disturbed IN her work or her rest.
Now she helps the boys with their
hard lessons or reads fathers paper
aloud to rest his tired eyes. If moth
or can run away for few days recte-
alton sh3 leaves home without any
anxiety, for Mary will guide her house
wisely and happily in her absence.
But in the sick room her presence
is an especial blessing. Her hand is
next TO mothers own in gentleness
and skill Her sweet music can charm
any pain and brighten the weariest
hours. There are elder sisters whose
presence is not such blessing in the
home. Their own selfish ends and
aims are the main pursuits in life, and
anything that stands in the way of
these is regarded with great impa-
thence. Such daughters are no com
fort TO a mothers heart. Which kind
Of an elder sister are you in the house
bold?
