Following is the explanation of
Ripley's believe 1t or Not" which
appeared in Mondays Times:
The Suppliant Sadhu - The
story of Daavadja is intensely in
teresting. In 1900 a young French
man of mystic turn arrived in
Bengal. Presently he became i'm
mersed in the teaching of Hindu
ascetism and assumed the tor
furious position I drew. This most
hapless of Hindu penitents has
spent sixteen years of incredible
martyrdom, and is the only case,
of which I am aware, OF an occi-
dental identifying himself with
these practices. His arms and legs
have withered from inactivity, he
commands the respect and devo-
ton of the faithful, but I can
not help wondering whether the
memories of another civilization
has been effaced from his mind.
Jose LIera-Private First Glass
Jose Llera, United States marine
corps, is a native of Porto Rico,
where he enlisted in the United
States army. After two years,
when that enlistment expired,
Llera went to st. Thomas, Virgin
Islands, and enlisted in the United
States marines, where he re-
manned for another three years
before he ever saw the United
States. Llera is now at the marine
barracks in Washington, as in
structor of Spanish.
Fred Art Worked Underground
for IS Frederick Art of 211
Stafford avenue, Scranton, Pa,
started to work as door tender in
the Sandy Banks anthracite coal
fields when he was but Z years
old. Since that time he has held
numerous underground jobs, such
as mule driving and track laying
but he never has cut coal. And
during all his seventy-f1ve years
of active toll in the mines, he
always has worked in the same
section, and never has been in
jured.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Trading in
stocks dwindled to a small volume
in the late morning trading on the
Stock Exchange with tickers barely
moving.
The steady, relentless liquidation
interrupted for brief period in the
initial dealings, was resumed and
United States Steel again led the list
into new lows for the bear market.
Steel common sold at 4O1s, off IA
and a new low since 1915, while the
preferred sold at IS for the first
time in tWenty-three years.
Losses we're IN the majority
throughout the list, although they
we're relatively small Railroad
shares resumed their decline with
new lows being made by Atchison,
Pennsylvania, Illinois Central and
Northern Pacific. Leading industri-
ais slid back with United States
Steel. Utilities sold off fractions to
a point.

Bond Market Reacts

Crucible Steel issues ran counter
to the trend, the common rising 81
points to Is and the preferred 81
to so. A small gain was made by
Auburn Auto, and Du Pont also
held a slight advance.
The bond market reacted, losses
ranging to 6 points. japanese is
sues we're steadier, aided by a rally
in the yen. But other foreign loans
were driven down, including German
sevens, which lost more than a
point. Domestic railroad and in
dustrial issues we're forced to new
lows. Nickel Plate per cent bonds
due in 1882 sold at 14la for the first
time, off points from the previous
close. At 1412 the issue yielded $50
per cent.

Forecast Is Revised

Wall Street today took a more
hopeful attitude on the railroad
wage controversy. After expressing
belief the meeting of executives and
workers committees would not be
held before early 1882, the predic-
tons were revised and some ex-
pected negotiations to get under
way late this week.
Meeting of the association OF
western railway executives was
called for 1890 today at Chicago
to appoint a committee to confer
with labor. Eastern executives chose
their committee Monday. South
eastern executives will meet either
today or Wednesday to form their
committee.
1t was anticipated the three eX-
ecutives' committees would combine.
