75-Pound Meteor in Museum Here.

One of the largest known meteorites
is that brought back from the Arctic by
Admiral Peary and which now is at the
American Museum of Natural History
In New York. That weighs thirty
seven and a half tons and is of iron.
One of seventy-ive pounds is now in
the National Museum here.
When such meteorites strike the
earth they do not iInbed themselves far
into the ground. Some have been
found as deep as fifteen feet, but the
smaller ones usually are found not more
than eighteen inches.

NEW YORK, January 2.--The stock
list was decidedly strong Immediately
following the opening and continued
to present a fair show of strength. The
action looked something like window
dressing in the hope of being able 70
attract January disbursements to the
market, although large part OF the
strength was due to the increased In
dustrial activity in the lines espe-
cialIy affected, while railroads did not
much more than hold their own.
The fact that government Will MAKE
large expenditures on the railroads OF
the country to put them into shape TO
meet the demands of the, nation' was
sufficient to insure a good demand ~,

stocks from Steel common throughoug

use of motors also gave this group the
backing for gain.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, January 1.-The cotton
market showed renewed firmness early
TODAY Liverpool was an active buyer
Of May. while there was scattering
trade demand which accounted for an
opening advance of IL to "a points,
which carried all the active months

one of the local spot interests was
credited with selling. but the offerings
were well taken on reactions OF or ~
points and rallies followed, with jan
uary selling up to 31.05 and March to
30.55, or about Is to 80 points net
higher on the present crop positions.
Overnight advices from the south re-
ported a good spot demand.

1910; October. $3.50.
offerings increased around 31.13 for
January and 1910 for March during
the middle of the morning and after
points the market reacted under realiz-
ing and hedge selling. Several spot
houses were credited with selling
freely against spot business in the
south. while the contracts were alb
sorbed on setbacks of some Is or 20
points by Wall street and scattered
buying by houses with mill connections.
NZw ORLEANS, JANUARY 1.-The bull

STRANGE EXPLOSION
NEAR CHATTANOOGA

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, January q
An explosion which shook this section
about 6 this morning had not been To-
Gated three hours later. although the
police and newspaper men telephoned
In every direction in an effort to clear
up the mystery.
No definite explanation has been given
of the explosion unless 1t was a me-
teor passing through the clouds and
dropping somewhere south Of the city,
but even this theory has not been veri-
fed. Several people saw q bright light
in the skies, as IL large meteor was
passing. and this was followed by a
loud explosion.
Heard Over 80 Mile Area.
The explosion was heard at various
points in radius Of twenty five to thirty
miles around Chattanooga, but no one
could offer any further explanation than
that it was meteor.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 12.-Points
between Knoxville and Chattanooga report
having no knowledge Of explosion. Bell
telephone wire chiefs in Chattanooga and
Atlanta report having felt and heard
shock, but unable to locate cause. All
n1unition plants in this section running all
right, including Ducktown, Maryyille,
kingsport, Mascot and Knoxville.
Shooting Star, DR.. Merrill Suggests.
1t is quite possible that the illumination
Of the skies and the explosion near Chat
tanooga was a big shooting star. DIR. G.
p. Merrill one of the head curators of the
National Museum, said today that such
shooting stars cause an intense light in
the heavens and as they come into the
earths atmosphere. make loud noise
somewhat like thunder. Contact with the
atmosphere Of the earth in most cases
causes the body to go to pieces. and in
doing SO it causes cracking explosions.
These shooting stars. DR.. Merrill ex--
planned, often go many miles beyond the
point where they are seen before they
strike the earth. Their size varies from
a neteorite of many tons down to one
of a few pounds

SIREN CAUSES MANY

Test Made Without Warning
Police Operator Busy.

Without waiting to ask questions a
number OF the more timid residents OF
Manhattan IN the neighborhood of For
tieth street and First avenue dived into
their cellars yesterday and stayed there
until the voice OF huge siren on the
coal chute OF the New York Edison Com
pany's plant ceased.
A test of the huge horn was made
without warning the police. and many
who had no cellars rushed to the tele-
phones as tho next hest means of pro-
lection.
So steadily and speedily did the calls
come that the switchboard In the station
was damned. And so often did the op-
orator repeat the statement that there
were no German airplanes lowering
about the city. 1t was stated. he re-
peated It in his sleep when after being
relieved from his duties he fed to a cot
In one corner of the station.
The blasts of the siren could be heard
far and wide in Manhattan and carried
across the East River into Brooklyn and
Queens,

SHONTS ASKS FARE RAISE.
Needs More Money TO Pay Wages.
Says Bulletin.

President Theodore =. Shonts OF the

yesterday in the cars of his surface lines
the first of a series OF appeals for higher
fares. The appeal was neatly bordered
with red, white and blue.
1.-THE men who run our cars" says the
appeal. must pay higher grocery bills
and higher coal bills just like everybody
else. They are entitled to higher wages
Where is the money to come from? In
the last twelve months we clrrled more
people than the year before, yet We
earned less.
Expenses increased so rapidly as to
more than eat up the increased receipts
In the last twelve months we not only
paid no dividends and no interest on our
second, mortgage, but We fell 100000
short Of earning the interest on the first
mortgage
