What Wall Street knew all the
time was that speculation Is not In
stocks really. 1t is in prices. When
the West talked Of taxing up its
stocks it said a preposterous thing.
It had not been buying stocks. 1t
had been trading In contracts. Spec
ulation rears an inverted pyramid
of contracts on certain base Of
stocks. The number of speculative
contracts in Steel common, for ex-
ample, was enormously greater than
the amount Of that stock actually
present in Wall Street and accessi-
bic to spectators. How much
greater the number of contracts is
one never knows. It will be gov
erned by many factors. 1t may be
twice as great; in an exceptional
case it may be ten times as great
There are probably 100000 shares
OF Steel common in Wall Street.
Stock Exchange transactions In the
stock in two weeks have been 5,000,-
900 shares.

Gold from Canada-Gold to tho
amount Of s9,7OO,OOO was received
from Canada yesterday and deposited
at the Assay Office to the credit Of D.:
P. Morgan & Co. This brought the
total imports for the month above

year arrivals from all sources amounted
to $500, 1000.
Insurance Of American Gold Exports.
In consequence OF largo shipments OF
gold which have lately been made from
the United States to South America,
saws "The Times" Of London, prac-
tice has come into vogue, which Lon
don underwriters think should be dis
couraged. 1t appears that brokers IN
New York, in order TO get advantage
Of the lower rates Of insurance when
arc usually quoted on the first amounts
TO be covered, have been cabling orders
TO London in intelligent anticipation
Then, If the expected instructions from
the American banks do not mature, the
assurances which have been arranged
are cancelled. This practice Of effect
ing assurances Professionally has given
rise to a good deal of confusion, and
consequently the suggestion Is being
made that underwriters should require
all slips of insurance 70 bear the words
mo Cancellation" The view is held
that in these days, when all kinds OF
vessels are pressed into mail services
underwriting is quite difficult enough
without the introduction of this I'M
necessary speculative element.

Little Children.

The illness Of both "Mr. Arneil" and
his wife has brought them and their
six children TO the verge Of restitution.
The father worked hard 10 feed and

down, and he had to give up all work.

Of support on their sixteen-year-old
daughter, who earns only IS a week.

CLEVELAND Able,
OLDPROB,' DEAD
Meteorologist, Founder of
u. S. Weather Bureau,
Succumbs at IS

Washington, Oct. 20. - Professor
Cleveland Able, known as "the father
Of the Weather Bureau died at his
home In Chevy Chase here to-day after
an illness Of year. He was seventy
eight years old.
The present day system Of daily
weather forecasts is the outgrowth Of
a weather prediction service which
Professor Able established locally in
Cincinnati, when be was the director
Of the observatory there in 1869.
The son OF a New York merchant,
Cleveland Able became an instructor
in mathematics and astronomy at the
University Of Michigan in 1850. Dur
ing the Civil War period ne was an aid
at Cambridge, Mass, TO Dr. B. A Gould,
then astronomer Of the United States
coast survey. The years ls65-'66 he
spent in Russia at the Imperial Obser-
vatory as guest Of the resident stan OF
observers there. On his return 20 the
United States he was chosen director
of the Cincinnati Observatory.
In May, 1868, Professor Able ex-
pressed 70 the Chamber of Commerce
of that city his willingness 20 make
daily predictions of the weather for the
benefit of the citizens. His proposal
was accepted, and the work began N
September, 1859.
The success Of his scheme led Con-
gress in 1870 TO establish a national bu-
reau of storm warnings for the benefit
OF commerce. It's conduct was intrusted
to General A. j. Myer, then chief signal
officer of the army. He adopted into
his weather bureau all the important
features Of Professor Abbe's work at
Cincinnati and, in January, 1871, ~
vited Professor Able 20 Washington as
his scientific assistant.
The regular tri-daily issue Of prob
abilities" began in February, 1871.
These forecasts were published
throughout the country anonymously
as official documents, and the cogno-
men Of "Old Prob" was soon widely az
piled 70 their author.
It was largely due to Professor Alb
be's initiative that the advances in the
service, such as ocean meteorology, the
prediction of foods in rivers, the pub
LEGATION of the monthly weather re-
view, the adoption of civil service ex-
aminations in meteorology, the intro
duction of uniform standard time and
innumerable other steps we're taken.

Rocco thereupon turned handsprings,
somersaults, stood on his head and per-
formed a series of physical gyrations
that eifectually disposed of any sus-
picion that he might be paralyZed.
His last physical effort brought him
into the lap Of the reporter, who cur
iously began 20 examine the bald spot
on Rocco's head.

Safety Razor Keeps Pledge
Rocco protested, bitterly but IN
availingly, and the safety razor was
brought forth and he received q shave
on the top of his head. At the height
of Rocco's agony the door was pushed
slowly open, and the face Of Mickey
O'Callahan appeared. Mickey had been
home, washed his face, slicked his hair
down over his head, and made other
preparations for social activities. Be

Mickey and his retinue came in.
Rocco had suddenly become a person
of Importance. Not only did he have
company. but he had a nickel, and
Mickey was therefore his friend.
"Rocco's a good guy" Mickey re-
marked Were all his pals. You got
any more nickels you don't want?'
