Chicago, Oct. 3.-Corn-While easier
at opening, corn was in good demand
by scattered commission houses, and
as long as the pressure from the ac-
tual cash article is not in evidence,
buyers appear to have all the better
Of the argument. Local sentiment,
while extremely bearish yesterday, was
moderately bullish today, on wet
weather through the central and east
ern belt. The forecast Is for generally
! fair weather and no frost for the rest
of the week. It looks as If there will
be more than enough merchantable
corn to go around.
Oats-Oats were strong, with prin-
, cipal strength in December, due to
elevator interests as well as scattered
commission houses changing their
/ hedges from December into May, on
faccount Of light receipts. Eastern ex-
porters were in the market in a mod
crate way, but took only oats in posi-
| ton to be moved rapidly. The market,
locally. was evidently over-sold and,
while receipts keep light further buy
ing by these interests will no doubt
cause still further advance.

KING LEWANIKA'S STATE BOAT
Royal Craft Is 100 Feet Long, Carries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester and Musicians.

"While travelling in Rhodesia,"
writes contributor in the Wide World
Magazine, II managed to get glimpse
of King Lewanika's state barge. The
chief of the Barotse is a fine fellow,
but I was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for a row attired
in a top hat and gaudy dressing
gown.
"Soon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long.
In the center are two compartments,
both covered in, one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar-
ters. On the roof of one of these COM
partments is erected a monster ele-
plant, as a sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
Jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the populace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated Oh the
barge, in addition to whom there were
80 or 60 paddlers and host of bailers,
for the barge was by no means water
tight. To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song the huge craft
was propelled along on it's journey, the
return voyage taking place four or five
months later"

Activity of Russian Women.

AS Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women in Eu-
rope, it is not strange that women
have taken such an active part in the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
tionary movements the women stu
dents have been made dangerous per-
haps, to the government, than the
men. 1t is believed that the majority
Of the women amazons are evolution

PATROL WORK IS FULL OF
THRILLS FOR men OF Navy

Neither submarine nor destroyer
had used gunfire. The German was
not even sighted. Only two torpedoes
were known to have been fired-the
one which crossed the KS bow, and
the one which settled the Kioto.
"Only two days before the X had
had better brush with SUBJ and
may have got her; shippers put in
the claim on evidence as good. She
was steaming in the same area, un-
der like conditions, when at ten min
utes past eight in the evening she
sighted a pronounced wake. One could
even estimate the speed at which the
submarine had been submerged-about
eight knots.
"The X worked up to full speed,
turned with left rudder, and ran down
on the right hand side of the slick.
In six minutes she had reached its
head ready to drop depth charge
four minutes to run to the end of the
wake, two more to allow for the
subs run beyond-and she tripped
the pump. With the charge. which
was set for so feet, was dropped a cal
cium torch pot to mark the place. The
explosion audibly Jared the blowers,
and within three minutes bubbles
swirled to the surface. But in the 20
minutes that the X circled the vicinity,
hoping the injured enemy would rise to
the surface, no further sign Of damage
was revealed.
Four days later the - turned her
convoy over to the - at two hours
before daylight, and returned to her
regular patrol. About five o'clock In
the morning she took under her wing
the steamer Pentwy, bound for Man
chester. At a quarter to eight Cap
tain Lyons sent Quartermaster aloft
to the main track to clear fouled
commission pennant. Scarcely had
the quartermaster reached it when he
called down to the watch on the after
deckhouse, 'Periscope, two points
abaft the port beam!' The thing was
1900 to 5000 yards from the -,
who was 400 yards ahead of the -,
one point on her port bow. The whole
body of the submarine was distinct to
the quartermaster though, oddly, in
visible both to the bridge and the fore
top lookout. The periscope seemed
headed westward, and she at once
started to submerge. Within 20 Sec
onds, as the destroyer came to gen
eral quarters, first one torpedo, instant
ly followed by second, radiated from
the point where she had vanished.
Both were making surface runs, for
the subs coming tower hatch still
must have been near the surface. They
threw spray up fully 20 feet, clearly
visible against the choppy sea. All
hands on the bridge and decks saw
them-as did the -. astern; for she
