Corn Products Under Pressure.

One of the weakest spots In the entire
list yesterday morning was Corn Prod
ucts Refining. which broke below par for
the first time in many weeks. There
were no news developments to account
for the break and 1t was current gossip
on the floor Of the Exchange and in the
Street that tho decline was more the re-
suit OF bear raiding than it was Of any
thing else. Interests previously identified
with market operations in Corn Prod
ucts were said to be not averse to pick
ing up that stock for less than 100.

Chile Copper Costs ana Supplies.

Tho Chile Copper Company's cxpondi-
lures in recent years for cost cutting
facilities and it's outlay In experimental
work have brought good results. as dis
closed in its low expense In producing
copper In 1891. Tho annual report notes
that despite fall OF more than so per
cent. in the amount of metal produced.
compared with that of 1920. the cost OF
producing copper and delivering IL to
purchasers, exclusive OF depreciation
and depletion, was 1913 cents pound.
In contrast to 10.7 cents in 1920. The
s4,e36,22s pounds of copper on hand on
December 81 was carried at 13 cents a
pound, instead of 10 cents as printed
in these columns yesterday. Or that
amount 14.334,000 pounds wau con-
tractcd for sale ut the end OF last year.

Money Market Quiet.

The money market was quiet and un-
yesterday. The rate for call
loans in the New York Stock Exchange
was stationary at per cent. and time
money was lent for AZ per cent. for
all maturities. Occasionally small loans
for short periods for 4 per cent. were
reported. The supply of prime CONNER
cial bills is not sufficient to meet the
demand for them.

Ingenious Spider

A spider constructed it's web IN an
angle of a garden, the sides OF the
web being attached by long threads
to shrubs at the height of nearly three
feet from the gravel path beneath.
Being much exposed to the wind. the
equinoctial gales of the autumn de-
stroyed the web several times.
The ingenious spider now adopted
a new contrivance 1t secured a con-
ical fragment of gravel, with its
larger end upward. by two cords, one
attached to each of its opposite sides,
to the apex of its wedge shaped web,
and left it suspended as movable
weight to be opposed to such gusts OF
air as had destroyed the webs prevl-
ously occupying the situation.
The spider must have descended TO
the gravel path for this special OBJ
ject. and, having attached threads 10
a stone suited te its purpose. must
have afterward raised this by fixing
itself upon the web. and pulling the
weight up to q height of more than
two feet from the ground. where IL
hung suspended by elastic cords.

Iron in Antiquity

An eminent scientist recently
summed up some interesting facts
about the use Of iron by the ancients.
Interesting in the light Of metallurg-
ical practice is a part of an iron tool
found in the Great pyramid. because
it contains not only nickel, but also
combined carbon, showing that it is
not of meteoric origin. Under a
sphinx at Karnak an iron sickle was
found. At Delhi there still exists an
iron pillar. so feet high and 16 inches
in diameter. made up of 50-pound
blooms welded together. This pillar,
it is suggested. may be regarded as
1.-The doyen among products Of the
heavy iron industry" The use of iron
and steel in China has been traced to
the year 1857 b c. The Japanese are
said to have had curious method Of
making steel. They buried forged
iron in marshy ground, and after
eight or ten years. through some al
chemy of nature, it came out steel.

Four Held In Connection
With Freight Car Thieving

Prompt work on the part of OFF,
Ger Michael Bolduc, resulted in the
arrest Sunday night within three
hours of the time the crime was COM
mitted of a nan and three boys
who are charged with stealing four
Tags of flour from a freight car
which was setting on the Fuller Hol-
way siding.
Officer Bolduc in making his rounds
last night found that the seal on the
door of freight car had been broken
ana that several of the bags of flour
with which it was loaded, had been
taken. lie Immediately made an in
vestigation and after a little sleuth-
ing on his own, satisfied himself as
to the guilty parties.
He and Deputy Marshal Corbett then
went out and rounded up Henry Piper,
who is employed at the pulp mill and
who lives at No. 2 Bridge block; An
tone Bcaudry. 16 years old, of 12
Mount Vernon; his brother George, 10
years of age; and Percy Michaud of
61 Mount Vernon avenue. who is 16
years old. They found the flour at the
Piper home.
When they were brought to the
station the boys confessed that they
had taken the flour and also that they
We're the ones who had broken into
a sealed car at the electric freight
shed some weeks ago and had taken
pair of shoes. They had also en-
tered store run by a man named
Gilbert on Mount Vernon avenue,
gaining admittance by use of a key
which one of the boys had in his
possession. Here they lad taken
some cigars and cigarets.
The story which the boys told
about the taking of the flour was
| that Piper had gone to the two
Beaudry boys and had told them. that
he would give them csc for each bag
Of flour that they should get for him
from the car. On their way to the
car they had picked up the Michaud
boy and the three had gone to the
car where they had broken the seal
and had taken four bags of flour
which they delivered to Piper.
They will probably be arraigned
before Judge Cony at the Municipal
court this morning.

paused on the platform of a crowded
street car, Il thought ! told you

about your car being filled and about
you not being able to remember
where everybody gets off. I have

But, madam" again commenced
the conductor.

woman, Il shall report you for your

She alightod from the car, which
started up again.
Then the conductor touched his cap

spectfully called after the woman
left behind:
Very sorry, madam, but Kenwood
