This typical year-end market pro-

Expects stock Activity.
Increasing stock market activity
and Christmas buying have worked
together to bring business up 10 a

at the normal line. This is the highest

1t Is an encouraging sign. according
to Mr.. Babson. who expects activity
to be slightly above normal for the
next four to six weeks. Things will
then let down a bit, according to the
statistician. and the foundation OF
fundamental conditions will be COM

The years o. John Bunyan's boy
hood were those during which the
Puritan spirit was in the highest
vigor all over England, and nowhere
had that spirit more influence than
wonderful, therefore. that a lad to
whom nature had given a powerful
imagination and sensibility which
amounted to disease should have
been early haunted by religious ter
rors. Before he was ten his sports

turbed by dreams Of fiends trying to
fly away with him. As he grew older
his mental conflict became still more
violent. The strong language in
which he described them strangely

pernatural power Of divine grace to

WELLESLEY HILLS. Mass. Decem-
Der 16.-There has been much discus
sion Of late as to whether bonds have
reached the top. Roger W. Babson
evidently thinks not. In discussing
the situation today he calls attention
to the long-swing bond cycle. and ap-
pears to have q hundred and fifty
years of financial history on his side.
"The cheapest thing | know of to-
day" says Mr. Babson. 'is the prom
ise of $50 q year for the next twenty
years. secured by a mortgage bond
Just now this $50 will buy. perhaps. a
suit of clothes. In 1920 1t would have
paid only for the coat and one arm
hole of the vest. We all can remem-
ber when il would have bought two
suits as good as the one ii will buy
now. Everybody Is hoping for those
old prices to come back. And nothing 8
is more likely than that they Will
come back some time within the next
twenty years.
Prices High Before.
Most OF US, judging from our own
experience. think OF 1920 commodity
prices as the high -for-alr time. What
we do not realize is that prices have
been as high three times before. al
intervals Of about fifty years, and
that between the peaks. each time
they have touched levels as low as In
1896. While earlier statistics have not
been compiled. there Is data enough
to suggest that this same swing from
high prices to low prices and back
again, over long periods. might be
traced far back into history.
prices turned at the same old peak
in 1920. 1t is exactly In accord with
past experience that there should be
q short upward reaction, at this time,
from the first sharp decline OF last
year. But IL would be against cur
economic history II prices did not
show a long, slow trend toward q
level that more nearly equalizes the
buying power of agriculture with that
Of the manufacturing industry. The
fact that the mass of people expect
lower prices-of course, for the other
fellows goods-helps to bring then
about. Psychology as a price factor
may be more potent. under certain
conditions. than the supply OF gold.
How Cycle Works.
LAS prices of goods go down the
value Of money goes up. That's only
saying the same thing backward
Then every one who holds a contract
agreeing to pay him stipulated
amount of money every year, like
rent, or the interest on a bond, has
something that is worth more, year

CATERPILLAR PLANT ODD.
Maoris Use for Making Purple
Dye.
From the Asia Magazine.

From the Asia Magazine.
The so-called Caterpillar plant OF
New Zealand owes its existence to a
fungus and a caterpillar. The tiny
sharp spores of the fungus attach
themselves to the caterpillar as he
burrows, and then start to grow.
Their roots penetrate deeper and
deeper. curiously avoiding vita! parts
and the creature and the plant live
together until the end. Finally the
helpless insect can move no more. and
the fungus sends up a shoot like a
miniature bulrush. which makes Its
way through the earth to the surface
This carries spores to entrap more
caterpillars. The caterpillar's body
turns into a perfect mummy of wood
a mass of solidified roots.
This does not happen till long after
the bulrush-like shoot has appeared
for the plant" has at times been fully
withdrawn after breaking the ground
with the caterpillar still alive.
The Maoris use the caterpillar
plant" for the making OF ceremonial
purple dye with which to tattoo the
faces and bodies of young chieftains
