RUMOR is INTERNED FOR
THE DURATION OF WAR

to rumors set afioat that the govern
ment intended to fix the price of COT
ton.
The effort being made to stop ru-
NOR spreading is new rnG has never
been done before. II has been eff
fective TO a degree, although it did
not prevent the tiotation OF rumor
that the German crown prince and
10000 men had been captured by the
allies. This rumor started the rounds
shortly after the opening of the stock
market and later when it came back
to the exchange the total bag of Teu-
tons had reached $4,000.
Curiously enough during the recent
visitation of German submarines 20
these shores the rumOr factory was
comparatively idle, the only story
emanating from that quarter being a
rumor that six German submarines
were lying TO off Atlantic City get
ting ready to lombard the resort.
Since the various exchanges banned
the dissemination of rumors their
point of origin has been carefully con-
cealed so that II is next to impossl-
BILE nowadays TO run them down at
their source.
Curb on Wild Stories.
The German kaiser. who must
yield the palm only TO the crown
| prince in the number of times he has
been killed in this war; has been killed
| on the stock exchange time and time
again since 1914. On other occasions
| he has died a natural death from a
strange malady. There was a time
when the death of the kaiser meant
/ to Wall street the end of the war so
| that rumors of this character were
often put out with view to intluenc-
/ ing the course Of market prices. But
since the exchange banned rumor-
mongering the kaiser has not been
"killed" once In the financial district.
In the markets of 1915 and 1916 re-
ports of war orders placed with I'm
dustriaI companies filed Wall street
for months. Some of the rumors
proved to be true whereas others
were made out of whole cloth. Perl
| odically there came also rumors Of
peace proposals which on a number Of
occasions exerted an important IN
huence on stock market prices. The
most frequently appearing reports
have been those of vessels sunk at
sea.
II would of course be too much TO
say that the exchange authorities have
effectively checked rumors spreading
by their recent action, although I'M
doubtedly the tendency is toward
suppressing wild stories that might
be harmful both 10 sentiment and to
market values.

SERVES AS AN ANEMoMETER
Marked Peculiarly Of the Sargasso
Sea That Columbus Discovered,
II Is Said.

In the space between the Azores,
Canaries and the Cape Verde islands
lies the great Sargasso sea. Covering
an area equal in extent to the valley
of the Mississippi. it is so thickly
matted over with gulf weed that the
speed Of vessels passing through it Is
often much retarded. The weed al
ways tails to- a steady or constant
wind, so that 1t serves the mariner as
a sort of thermometer. telling him
whether the wind as he finds it has
been blowing for some time or whether
it has just shifted, and which way.
Columbus first found this weedy sea
on his voyage of discovery. There 1t
has remained until this day, moving
up and down, and changing its posi-
ton, like the Gains of Cancer, as af-
fected by the seasons, the storms and
the winds. according to Maury's au-
thority, exact observations as to its
limits and their range, extending back
for so years, assure us that its mean
position has not been altered since
that time. There Is also a sargasso to
the west of Cape of Good Hope, which.
though comparatively small, is clearly
defined. Mention is casually made Of
it In the logs as "rock weed" and
drift matter" The weedy space about
the Falkland islands is probably not
a true sargasso. The seaweed report
ed there most probably comes from
the Straits of Magellan, where Inn
mense masses of algae grow. These
straits are so incumbered with sea-
weed that steamers find great Difficult.

leg. For the absence Of my leg. says
Herman Il do not claim that I lost it
but have only traded Il for clear con-
science AMI would do * gain.
Private, Herman is an interesting char
acter and an eloquent speaker. But for
the absence OF his right leg and tho lee
ture you'd never know that Herman had
undergone the worst Of tho horrors VI
