ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1899-Frank Slavin, the Australian heavyweight, arrived in England. Paddy" as he was called, had made a great name for himself in his native New South Wales, and his arrival in England aroused a great deal of in- terest. After showing his class by de- feating a couple of second-raters, he was matched with Jem Smith for $2,500 a side and the championship of England. The fight was pulled off in 'Bruges. Belgium, and Slavin had all the best of it, but was robbed of his victory by the toughs who broke into the ring. Eventually Slavin got the money and was awarded the championship. In 1891 he came to America and defeated Jake Kilrain. but the following year he went back tos London and was knocked out by Peter Jackson and later by Jim Hall. He then returned to America and af- ter a few unimportant bouts went to the Klondyke, where he staked out a claim, found occasionally, and had many adventures. When last heard from Slavin was on the other side with a Canadian contingent. AL though 54 years old, and under no necessity to go to the war. Slavin volunteered to do his bit. Before en- tering the service he was for several years a Canadian justice of the peace. His son, Frank Charles, big six footer, is sergeant-major in the Yukon company of Western Scots.

STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 11.-Opening- Specialties, particularly munitions and equipments, featured today's early dealings at gains extending from frac- tons to over point. American and Baldwin Locomotives, Crucible Steel, Allis-C Chalmers, common and prefer red. and American Can were especial ly prominent. Shipping shares were in further request, but the only con spicuous member of the automobile group was General Motors, which add ed 25 points to yesterdays similar gain of l25 points. U. S. Steel was barely steady at the outset, hut rose ma terial fraction later. Rails lacked especial features aside from a sub- stntial gain for Reading.
 Noon-The market was again ex- tremely susceptible to professional pressure during the forenoon, most gains of the first hour being effaced as result of the weakness in certain speculative issues, notably Industrial Alcohol. which fell three points. Trad ing was on a steadily diminishing scale. Rails continued to reflect the general uncertainty respecting the out come of pending railroad mediation conferences. Motor shares were strong, General Motors increasing its gain to AS points. Bonds were steady.

NAVAL SIGNALING.
(London Telegraph.)


 The origin of the idea of using flags by day and lanterns by night for signaling in the navy came into being as far back as the middle ages.
 In those ancient days some one thought of method of raising and lowering sails, the number of times they were raised or lowered indicat- ing the letter that was to be sent. That proved very wearisome work and was superseded in the seven teenth century by the use of ball and cones hoisted in various positions on the masts and booms. At night dif- ferent colored lanterns were used.
 In the following century 12 flags were used either singly or in combin- ation and these flags supplied all the signaling that was necessary in fight ing. as Make all sails" Engage tho enemy" Chase the enemy" and "An- chor."
 When the battle of Trafalgar was fought the signals were sent by light. guns and flares and flags. and it was not till after that battle that the sys- tenn. invented by Sir Home Popham. was used and on which are based the present day methods of signal ing.
 The system of signaling from ship to ship by semaphore was due to q Frenchman named Chappe in 1794. and adopted in the British navy a few years later.

 The census of 1914, like that of 1908 with reference to manufactures, excluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neighborhood indus tries, and took account only of estab- lishments conducted under the factory system.
 The population of the United States at the census of 1910 was 91,972,266, and 1t is estimated that it was 98,- 7S1. .000 on July l, 1914.
 The summary shows increases at the census of 1914, as compared with that for 1909, for all items except pro- prietors and firm. members, for which . slight decrease is shown.
 In the order of their importance, from percentage standpoint, the in- creases for the several items rank as follows: Salaries. 37.2 per cent; cap ital, 2S.7 per cent; salaried employees 122 per cent; primary horsepower, POT per cent; wages, 19 per cent; materials. 1s.3 per cent; value of products, 17.s per cent; value added .iby manufacture, 15.S per cent; wage 6.4 per cent; and number oi establishments. 2.7 per cent.
