Following is the explanation of
Ripley's Believe 1t or Mot"
which appeared in Thursdays
Times:
Jules BOurglay, "The Old Leath-
er Man"-The "Old Leather Man"
roamed eastern New York and
Connecticut dressed in nothing but
leather for thirty years. An I'M
fortunate love affair was the cause
of this strange existence. Jules
Bourglay was handsome young
Frenchman who fell in love with
the daughter of a leather mer-
chant. To prove his worthinesS he
entered the business. A crash in
the leather market resulted in a
loss of his fortune and the lady
of his heart as well. The shock
unhinged his mind and he re-
solved to quit France for Ameri-
ca, and to do penance by wearing
nothing but leather for the end
of his days. He was found dead
in a cave which he inhabited near
Sing Sing, New York, in 1889.
The Curious City of BENZ Is
gen-Beni ISgen in Algeria Is the
most curious city in North Africa.
1t is the hottest Of the seven cities
constituting the confederation of
the Benz M'Zab. The latter is the
most orthodox sect in the Moham-
medan world. 1t is a walled city
in which no unbeliever may be
found after sunset. Nobody has
even smoked or drunk in its
streets since it as founded about
TOO years ago, and no goods may
be bought or sold unless auctioned
off first and unless a number of
buyers participate in the bidding.
Ice Is Lighter Than Water
Water differs from nearly all
other substances in that it is
heavier in the liquid state than
1t is in the solid. That is why
great pressures have the effect of
lowering the freezing point of wa
ter, while the opposite is the case
with the other substances. The
density of ice at zero degrees CEN
tigrade is BITS and the density of
water at zero degrees centigrade is
.99988, it being heaviest at four
degrees centigrade.

CHEAP RIDES IN CAPITAL
10-Cent Fare Promised in Taxi War
in Washington.
Bu United Presa
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, July "a. - A
straight 10-cent taxi fare was prom
ised the capital today as rate war
continued between independent op-
orators and large taxi companies.
Two cab lines already have estab-
liShed a 15-cent rate for the larger
part of the city.
Under a 10-cent fare, 1t would be
possible for five persons to ride at
cost of 2 cents each. The cash
trolley fare here is 10 cents. The
rate war is designed to force the
District Of Columbia public utilities
commission to establish a system of
standard charges.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Selling
was arrested on the stock market
before the end Of the first hour to-
day, but no progress was made on
the upside and prices around noon
were off fractions to more than a
point in the main body of stocks.
At the opening and in the early
trading prices gave ground follow
ing a break in United States Steel
common stock to a new low on the
movement. Selling in steel was
based on expectation of a cut in
the dividend from a 81 to a SIS basis.
Steel touched 915s, off 2h points
from the previous close before en-
countering support.
Can Is Weak Spot
American Can was another weak
spot in the early trading, the issue
breaking through the 100 level to
99A, where it was off 2 points.
American Telephone, Interborough
Rapid Transit and a long list of
others declined with steel and can.
Around noon Steel was holding
at 80, off IL American Can 1908,
Gfh IL; Interborough, 21H, off 2;
American Telephone, 1851, off 1,
end Consolidated Gas, 80, off l.
Oil shares held up against the
trend in the early trading on firm
Ing up in crude oil prices, but this
group reacted later with the general
list and around noon most issues
were down fractionally. Railroad
shares we're irregular with Rock
Island up nearly a point at 407s.
Motor Shares Steady
Motor shares were steady on i'm
proved earnings in the group.
Chrysler, which reported a better
second quarter than in 1890, was
steady at the previous close of
221a, while General Motors held
within 4 point Of its previous close
of 37#. Coppers sagged off.
Foreign markets were steadier
than yesterday. German bonds
slid lower in London and this was
the signal for further selling here.
German Is, which were at 1875 in
the early trading, fell back to
BIZ, off IA, while the 512s were
of q at 571s after touching SO.

OFF FRACTION
New Developments Awaited

CHICAGO, July "a. Weak
cables gave wheat minor
fractional dip as the Board Of Trade
opened today. There was nothing
in the news but the weakness at
Liverpool, where the market vas
dull and declining with no demand,
causing scattered selling which
found support lacking. Corn was
about steady with weather develop
ments in the belt attracting some
attention but traders uncertain
which side to take. Oats again
suffered from liquidation and was
Flower.
AT the opening wheat was X to
4 cent lower, corn was unchanged
to Is cent of and oats were 4 cent
lower. Provisions were active at a
small decline.
Liverpool Sells OFF
Liverpool opened as expected and
b mid-afternoon had eased to q to
4 cent lower. The weather was
clear and relatively cool over the
United States, but warm in Canada
Wheat traders are awaiting new de-
velopmentS in the situation to carry
prices higher.
The market has been displaying
an improved tone with less selling
pressure owing to the Iessening of
the movement in the southwest
and the extremely low prices for
wheat. Traders are chiefly of the
opinion that the situation favors
the holders more than sellers.
Thursday the board voted down an
amendment to the rulings that
would have barred the Updike
Grain Company, subsidiary of the
Farmers National, from the Clear
ing House Association.
Corn in Critical Stage
Although weather reports are ad
verse on the corn crop in the south
west, the trade is awaiting further
developments despite the fact that
the crop is in the critical stage of
its growth and can not stand high
temperatures without an abundance
Of moisture. There was no rain
Thursday night.
Receipts are increasing in oats
but still are well under a year ago
Spreading in the distant futures
and absorption by cash interests
have been the features of the re-
cent sessions.
