Unique Story Is Told
OF Worlds Creation.

Perhaps the choicest of DR.. Rocks
Oriental Division of the Library of
Congress-the NaShi story of the Gre
alton and of the food.
Back in the beginning, according
to this unique manuscript, the water
and the land got into a dispute which
became so heated that the former
evaporated into the air as steam.
Then 1t came down again in torrential
rains which resulted in the rivers and
the seas.
Dr. Arthur Hummel, chief of the
Oriental Division of the Library Of
Congress, now is on his way to China
to direct the compilation, in England
of list of biographies of the most
eminent names in Chinese history fol
the past 800 years. This is the IL
brary's Project G." upon which six
scholars are engaged, including two
Chinese and one Japanese. The OBJ
ject is to present the great figures Of
another civilization and way Of
thought to the Western world as real
human beings, rather than meaning
less names.

where cloud-forming material, such as
water vapor, must be very scanty. The
reason for the existence Of these
clouds has always been a mystery to
met orologists.
BY his "five-blaDket" hypothesis DR..
Humphreys makes it possible to ex-
plain their existence for exactly the
same reason that clouds are formed
in the lower levels of the atmosphere
by condensation of water vapor.
First is the troposphere, in which
| temperature decreases with height
up to about 10 miles. Next is the
stratosphere. through which the tenn
perature remains constant. This is
the region which has received much
attention of late because of the bal
loon flights of Picard and Settle. Be-
yond this is the ozonosphere. COM
posed chiefly of oxygen in the peculiar
condition known as ozone, which is
considerably warmer than the strato-
| sphere But even beyond this, Dr.
Humphreys holds, must be an alto
troposphere where temperature again
| decreases with height. And on top
OF the altotroposphere, serving as a
sort Of atmospheric quilt, is the alto
shakespeare where the temperature
again becomes constant regardless Of
altitude.
1t is in this second stratosphere, Dr.
/ Humphreys holds, that the strange
noctilucent clouds are formed.

ON LIQUOR
MAY co TO COURT
Forest Hills Committee Dis.
cuSSeS Plan to Have Two
Licenses Revoked.

An appeal to the courts on consti-
tutional grounds in a dete: mined
effort to lid its community of liquor
selling establishments appeared likely
today as the next step to be taken by
the Forest Hills Citizens Association.
The Executive Committee CT the
association met last night to discuss
ways and means of securing the revo-
cation of the liquor licenses granted
the Sho-Case ard the BARBECUE,
restaurants on Connecticut avenue at
Abemarle street The aeso cation had
protested vigorously against the grant,
ing of these licenses. Its protest in
cluded the presentation of petition
signed by most of the res dents of the
community. but the Alcohol Beverage
Control Beard discounted the petition
on the ground that none of the sigma
tors lived within 600 feet of the estab-
lishments.
Counsel to Be Sought.
The Executive Committee OF the
association decided to seek counsel OF
a constitutional lawyer to determine
what legal rights under the Consti-
tuition itself it has in undertaking TO
force the A. B. c. Board to heed the
wishes of citizens in the granting OF
licenses. II advised by counsel and II
the membership of the association
backs the move, the Executive Com
mittee intends to go to court to secure
a revocation of the licenses already
granted the two establishments at
Albemarle street and to curb the pres
ent trend of the A. B. c. Board.
In order to determine whether 1t
has the backing Of the entire men,
bership, the Executive Committee to-
day is mailing out to each of the
members of the Forest Hills Citizens
Association a QUESTIONABLE. This ques-
tonnaire contains three statements,
one of which is to be checked by each
member and returned to the COM
mittee.
Statements of Position.
The statements of position are:
/. Advocacy and support of the pro-
posed court action;
2. Conviction that it would be use
less to spend money and time on such
a project, and
3 A lack of interest in the whole
affair.
These statements will be returned
to the Executive Committee before
the next regular meeting of the Forest
Hills Citizens Association, April Is.
There are nearly 200 members of the
association, and virtually the entire
membership is expected to attend the
next session when the battle plans
Of the association will be discussed and
laid.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 25.-Trad-
ing in United States Government
bonds is still the most active for any
group of securities in the country, c.
J. Devine g. Co.. Inc, specialists IN
Government bonds, point out IN
study of the market situation OF the
country's premier security. The hrm
states that it is interesting to note
that Government securities are not
lacking ready buyers, despite recent
reports to the contrary.
Some evidence of the activity of the
over-the counter Government bond
market is furnished by the Devine
firms estimate of turnover Of $50
900 100000 during the first eight
months Of 1884, which is more than
five times greater than the dollar
value of all stocks and bonds traded
on the New York Stock Exchange dur
ing the same period.
The over the counter turnover in
Government bends for the eight
month period, based upon the volume
of the 10 leading firms, which handle
about 80 per cent of the total, is ap-
proXimately equal to the estimated
$4,000, 900 900 turnover for the full
year 1888, which was the record year
for all time.
During the same eight-month period
the dollar value of all securities traded
on the New Yori: Stock Exchange ag-
gregated s8,574000000 of which S.
958,00O.000 represented the value of
stocks and s2,61e,o0O, 900 the par value
OF all bonds.
Further evidence of the size Of the
"over- the counter dealings in Gov
ernments is furnished by the fact that
on some exceptionally active days the
turnover will reach a billion dollars.

UPTURN DELAYED
IN MACHINE TRADE
Purchasers Maintain Policy
of WatchfuI Waiting;
Sales at Low Ebb.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. September 25.-Hope
deferred is about the only consolation
left the machinery and machine tool
industries as the expected Autumn up
turn fails to put IN an appearance,
reports American Machinist.
Purchasers are maintaining the
policy of watchful waiting, popular
lied by the last Democratic President
and enforced by the uncertainties sur
rounding the program of the present
one. AS a result orders are held at
minimum dictated by dire necessity
and the machinery industry is thus
prevented from taking its place as a
re-employing factor in American in
dustry. Release by the controller
general of the S2300,000 P. w. A.
appropriation for ordnance machine
tool replacementS is the most impor-
tant recent news.
Business is pretty generally at
standstill in the Eastern territory.
Distributors are counting on a share
of the manufacturing arSenals In that
section Some of them are bit ap-
prehensive of the jam that may
ensue if all potential customers de-
mand deliveries at once. September
will probably show slightly better
business in Pittsburgh than August
did and there is some hope Tor an
appreciable gain in October and No.
vember. but machine tool sales Will
probably be low.
In Cleveland. during the past
month, employment in the metal
working shops has been declining.
There is reason to believe that 1t will
improve shortly and that there may
, be some machine tool business IN
October and November. Inquiries are
little better

Der that have been held up at the

Government by Indians Of the Pacific
Northwest.
Ever since this territory was bat

sale of intoxicating liquor to Indians.
But now tribesnen are sending petit
tions to Federal officials pleading that

for them to buy whisky.
Everybody was equal under the

Nealy N. Olney, Indian justice Of the
peace and leader in this district for
the movement, said:
THE Indians feel 1t Is unfair for
other citizens to permit the Federal
