who at the time was viceroy of Peru.
 News of the lady's illness having reached one Don Juan Lopez de Can niZares, the Spanish Corregidor, of Loxa, who dwelt some 230 miles south of Quito, in what Is now the Republic of Ecuador, he despatched a parcel or a certain kind of powdered bark to her physician, Juan de Vega, with the as- surance that it was a soveign remedy and a never-failing specific in cases of intermittent fever. He knew this to be true from both experience and observation for about years prior to this event he had suffered from se- were attack of fever and had been cured by an old Indian of Malacotas, who had thus revealed the remarkable properties of this bark. Since then he had observed its effects in many other cases-so he knew whereof he spoke. The remedy was tried, and the Coun- tess was cured. The name given by the aborigines to the tree on which this wonderful bark was "quinaquina-"
 Tn 1640 the Count of Chinchon re- turned to Spain with his wife. She took with her a quantity of the heal ing bark, and thus was the first per son to introduce 1t into Europe. Sub sequently some of the Jesuit mission aries in Brazil sent parcels of the powdered bark to Rome, whence 1t was distributed by the Cardinal de Lugo to other members of the fraternity throughout Europe. It was therefore often called "Jesuits' bark and some- times Cardinals bark" Something over a hundred years after the Coun- tess of Chinchon had introduced it in to Spain, Linnaeus, the great Swedish botanist, in making his remarkable

WAR HAVING EFFECT
 ON QUININE SUPPLY.
Great Britain Controls It Form of chinchona Bark-Trees First Grew in South America.

If the European war continues much longer where are the people of the United States to get their usual sup ply of quinine? At the breaking out selling at about 20 cents an onuce, wholesale. A year ago 1t sold for 40 cents; today 1t is selling for S1.50 an ounce. When 1t is stated that during the fiscal year ending June 30 1914, the last normal year prior to the war, the United States imported nearly B. 000, 900 ounces of sulphate of quinine, then valued at about $650, 900, and over 3,64S,000 pounds of chinchona bark, valued at s464,000. it may be seen what such a difference in price may mean to the country.
 How is the European war responsi- ble? Simply because Great Britain controls the chinchona bark industry in her possessions of India, Ceylon, and Jamaica, and Holland the product of Java, and these are the sections of the world which have been furnishing practically its supply of quinine, in the form of chinchona bark for the last 30 or 35 years. Great Britain Is care fully husbanding the supply of this precious specific for the use. of her armies and those of her allies, while the Dutch must be depended upon to supply those of the Central Powers. Armies in the field need a vastly larger supply of quinine than would the same numD0r or men III OCCupd- tions-hence a quinine famine for the rest of the world. If the war con- tinues, not only will the price con- tinue to rise but the serious question will be-where are we to get it at all?
 Time was when certain countries of South America, where the chinchona trees originated supplied the world, and the story of quinine and how it was introduced into Europe is enter tainly told by Edward Albes in the current number of the Bulletin of the Pan American Union, Washington, D. C., somewhat as follows:
 "Once upon a time-27S years ago, to be more exact-in her viceroyal castle in Lima, Peru, a lady lay i'll of fever. She was the Countess Ana, wife of the fourth Count of Chinchon

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET ACTIVE.
Recovery Partially Due to Cessation
 of Foreign Liquidation.

New York, Feb. In explanation of today's sudden and general recov- cry of the stock market from its pro- tracted pessimism various reasons and theories were offered. Primarily, tt was declared that the purport of been nlisinterpreted, that they had not been intended ot convey a sense of immediate danger, but rather to in- culcate a feeling of patriotism in latent quarters.
 Moreover-and this was the reason ing of the bulls for long account-it was evident that standard stocks had been oversold to lovels where technical conditions on the bear side were no less vulnerable than they had previ- ously been for the constructive ac- count In any event, prices rallied easily from low levels of Monday, which marked the minimum of recent weeks.
 It is not improbable that partial cessation of foreign liquidation and some more remarkable statements of railroad earnings, notably those of the strong to be ignored. Weekly reviews dealing with industrial conditions also were taken into the reckoning.
 Rails and other investments partici- pated less extensively in the rise than did certain of the specialties. rbut the
 
 doubt, that it's impulse, in part; at least, was derived from substantial sources.
 United States Steel, which on the previous day fell to 79 7-8, it's lowest quotation in over three months, was easily the leader, transactions in that stock aggregating a very large per centage of the whole. Steel rose tC 82 1-2, an extreme gain of 1-2. Cru cible Steel was next in activity and ahead of United States Steel in the extent of it's advance, rising 4 to 78 while other war shares reflected more confident buying.
 Bethlehem Steel, on very few sales rose 15 to 465, with two to five point gains in oils, coppers, motors. and 3 score or more of miscellaneous issues while Industrial Alcohol rose 16 Ii to 160 1-2, and Cuban American Sugar 20 to 196. Altogether it was a disas- trous session for the short interest whose urgent covering of contracts added to the days business. Tota sales amounted to 735.000 shares.

The T. N. c. A. defeated the Nor wich Free Academy in dual indoor athletic meet by the score of ST 1-2 to 16 1-2 points in the local gyunna- sil1m Tuesday evening before an au- dience Of 125.
 The athletes battled for the Fergu- son trophy, a large silver loving cup, given by John A. Ferguson, which will become the permanent possession of the athletic team winning the event in two successive years.
 This is the first meet Of this Kind held in this city for some time and it proved to be a success. Members of both teams were in good physical condition and afforded close, rivalry in several events as it was unable to pick winners.
 The first real contest of the evening was the pole vault and the winner of inc event remained undecided owing to the fact that the standards. were not high enough, as both leading con- testants, Holdridge of the Academy and Charnetski of the Y. M. c. A. cleared the limit, feet
