financial interests combined with that
of hundreds OF small investors who
were attracted by the high Yields
available on many issues, ran from /

American Can was in the forefront
of the advance, selling IS points above

NEW YORK, March 4.-Irregular
recovery marked the course of the
bond trading today. The Improvement
was most pronounced in the more
speculative rails and was slowest In
the high-grade investment issues and
in the foreign obligations.
The feature was, of course. the rails
and particularly the bonds of the
roads. which made up the Nickel Plate
group. The Fries, which had been
sold so heavily and with such eXten-
sive losses on Wednesday, advanced
sharply. The Chesapeake and Ohio
convertible 5s, at 1872, were up points
from the previous close. There was
no important change in the Nickel
Plate bonds, but they had not had
much of a decline Wednesday.
There was a sustained buying move
ment in Chicago and Alton 31as, based
apparently on expectation of favora-
BILE treatment in the reorganization.
St. Louis, San Francisco incomes
were up about point and so were
the adjustments. Missouri Kansas
Texas adjustments came back easily.
Denver and Rio Grande Western 5s
did the same. The Missouri Pacific
issues, however, were slower to re-
cover ana Lle oS Oh 1900 DTOke DelON

time on Wednesday. The Seaboard
Air Line bonds generally were also
heavy early, when the refunding a;
and the adjustments showed losses
from Wednesdays close.
Among industrials and utilities there
was n mixed movement, although the
majority of changes were on the side
of advance.
HeavineSS persisted in the foreign
group with only a few exceptions
The Hungarian Municipal 712s made
a new low on the movement, but the
Hungarian State loan 714s recovered

CHEMICAL COMBIN ATOMS.
By F. F. CORLISS

When man discovers the hidden
mystery in the chemical union of the
elements he will have found the mas
ter key to all mysteries.
Man is a chemical compound as
much as sugar and salt areas much
as the earth he walks on; as much SO
as bird or a beast.
While he is all that these things
are in elemental life, he is far more.
He is the one superlative compound
of all life's chemical products.
We live in a world of effects in
which man stands supreme and para
mount because life in him has been
raised to state of self-conscious in
telligence. He has emerged from
what we call matter, much as ice rises
into view from freezing water.
To say that life and mind grow out
materialist. But science has found
meterialist. But science has found
that matter is not the dead, inert
thing 1t was thought to be.
Matter is laden with life and tho
dormant and static has a dynamic
potency when quickened by that, elu-
sive thing which chemistry conceals
and which we call the soul of things.
The five senses with which man is
endowed and which are essential for
our efficiency in the affairs of daily
life, are also enjoyed by animal life
beneath man. But in addition to
mans five animal senses he possesses
self-consciousness and a reasoning
faculty that carries him far in self
analysis.
Nature has always supplied LIES
needful demands. She has given eyes
to see where there was light to behold
and ears to hear where there were
sounds, so some time, somewhere, in
our unfolding development man may
receive a sixth sense-a minds eye
that will broaden the horizon of his
vision into things not now to be dis
covered. And this minds eye will
be to the individual what the tele-
scope now is to the astronomer.
A wonderful sermon was recently
Grammatical, entitled "The Man Who
Played Cod" and WIS projected in
pictures on the moving screen.
1t was most impressive, so instruc-
tive and so full of love, sympathy and
helpful service, both human and Di-
vine, that it effectively touched the
hearts Of all beholders.
Now, as Mr.. Arliss played God that
he might uplift and help men in their
lives and conduct with each other, so
I would have each one of my readers
impersonate God for an opposite rea-
son.
With your minds eye l would have
you look back in retrospection to the
time when our earth was a revolving
mass of molten metal and blazing
gas. When all the life there was on
earth was an elemental energy with
in an ethereal medium.
And now from your vision on high
behold that the cosmic forces that
have brought earth out of the invis-
ible ether and that accompany her

cline and final disintegration from OBJ

.roile de Jouy.

Are you tired OF hearing "toile de
Jouy" in shops. and puzzling your
head as to just what it means. OF
course, you are probably able TO
identify it by a glance. but haven't
you really wanted to know just what
this popular material and design was?
Toile de Jouy was originally a
French printed figure. The French
word "toile" means linen or cotton
cloth, and Jouy Is a town in France
where II was made. Oddly enough IT
was a German who opened the first
factory in Jouy. He first conceived
the idea of engraving his designs on
copper with soft pointed tool. He
had blocks made a yard square so
large even today.
Chiefly among toile de Jouy designs
you will find scenes from peasant ife,
and chronicles of historical nature.
There were others however; one de-
sign recounted the story of Paul and
Virginia, and another showed the var
ious processes in the making of toile
de Jouy.
II you really want decorative ma
terial you can hardly improve upon
toile de Jouy. In high-grade materials
the designs are perfect in details; In
fact, they look etched. In the very
highest grade it is not uncommon to
find small pieces framed. Usually one
color was used in design. Red,
blue. mauve and yellow were the most
popular colors.
You may be fortunate enough to get
old stuffs which after $50 years still
retain the richness of color which mod
ern dyes can't initiate.
A revival of interest in toile de
Jouy led to the manufacture of copies.
These may be had at a small fraction
of the cost of the originals, and they
are just as decorative and beautiful
The material is especially well suited
for use with early American and
French furniture. 1t is charming not
only for window draperies but also
for chair covers, bedspreadS, wall pan
els, and lamp shades.
Wallpaper is also made in toile de
Jouy designs, and it is often possible
to match the design or shade or both
of material and paper. When buying
toile de Jouy consider the appropri-

Dickinson. who stood with him against
issuing the Declaration at this time,
did not sign today.
Robert r. Livingston of New York,
member of the committee which
drafted the Declaration, is among the
non-signers. He returned to New York
shortly after July 4. and has been
constantly engaged there in the pa
triotic cause in the grave emergency
caused by the arrival of the British
army. The same is also true of Gen.
George Clinton, John Jay and Henry
WiSner, other New Workers, who are
fully entitled to the honor of having
their names on this great document,
but who are SO badly needed in New
York that they have been denied the
distinction of attending todays sign
ing. Thomas Mexican of Delaware
and Matthew Thornton of New Hamp-
shire, also absent today, will doubtless
sign later.
However, it is unlikely that the men
who will be known to posterity as the
'signers of the Declaration will be
the identical group which gave the
Declaration to the world. The fact is
that the formal signing by all the mem.
bers was hardly more than an after
thought. The great thing was the
adoption of the Declaration on July 4
without a single vote in opposition.

HOW 1T STARTED
"Last But Not Least. "

And last, but not least" a speaker
graciously prefixes to the name Of the
person whom he mentions last in order
to vitiate the possibility OF an implied
slight in what may be considered the
position OF least Importance. 1t is in
this sense that the phrase. now so
popular in common speech, had its
origin
We trace the phrase back 10 the
sixteenth century. when We find its
first recorded use in line 444 of Ed
mund Spencer's Colin Clout," in this
form, Though last, not least" We
find also two famous uses of the
phrase in Shakespeare, the vehicle,
probably. on which it rode to popu-
larity in modern speech.
In act 3, scene I, of Julius Gaze
sar," when, after the murder of Cde-
sar. Antony decides to shake hands
with the conspirator he calls each
one by name, and as he comes to Ire
bonius, the last, he says. as he shakes
his hand: Though last, not least IN
love, yours, good Trebonius."
In King Lear" at the very begin
ming of the play, when the King ssks
his daughters in turn, according to
their age, to tell how much they love
him, so that he may accordingly di-
vide his territory among them, he says
as he speaks last to the youngest
daughter. Cordelia, Now. our JOY, al.
though the last, not least"
And last, but not least" has sur
vived to popular usage in our speech
TODAY.
