Cash Price of Wheat Advanced Three Cents Per Bushel. PROVISIONS WERE RATHER DEPRESSED Reports of 8howers Throughoat the West Caused Corn to Be Sold Eafly, but Advanee Was Scored At the Close, Cn1caao, Aug. 11.—The best wheat market 1n months developed today. The cash price s up to 8cabu. For the special option there was an advance of 2igc and the closing was steady within }gcof the opening figures. The low estimates of crop, light receits and better tinancial outlook were the main rea- sons. Corn broke on tne rains over the west, but later scored a net gain of !ge. Pro visions were depressed by large receipts of hogs, leavine off 20c down for pork and 12!c for lard and rib Wheat at the opening was about higher than yesterday's closing, reacted © to 8¢, ndvanced 15¢c, eased off }{c, held steady and then advanced J{c again and the closing was about 23¢ higher for September and 2'¢e higher for December than the closiug figures of yesterday. The government report was “bullish” and Eng- lish cables higher. Continental cables showed an advance all around and theve was agradual and increasing confidence. New York exchange at from bc to 10c discount was a prime factor in the market, as show- ing the tendency of tho financial situation. There was more disposition to buy for in- vestment and covering of shorts, Cash wheat also in better demand and a littlo more business was transacted for export, the fact that exchange is much more saluble helping this branch of the trade. There were rumors of possible frost in the northwest. There was a good deal of corn sold at the starton the showers roported throughout the Mississippi valley and westward and were said to be extending dications of becoming general through the central states. Opening trades were all from i;c to }gc lower and after selling down 14¢ more rallied ¢ on good buying by parties who construed the government re- port as ~quite bullish.” changed some, ruled nd closed with a trifle gain. de in outs liberal and” astronger feeling, due chiefly to theadvance in wheat and also to the government crop report re ducing the condition over 10 points last month. The market opened unsettled and prices ndvanced from 9 to e, but yielded e, rallicd and closed” steady with " a net Qain of from o¢c to ic. There were 18,000 hogs at the yards, 8,000 over yesterday's estimates. The provision market started weak, and although it re- ceived some support at the lower prices which prevailed, the tendency was easier. Lard was the article principally offered The Anglo-Ame n was the chief seller, and Hatleys the buyers. The Chicago Pack- fng company was a seller of ribs, The demand for vessel room was slow and rates unchanged at e for wheat and 1c for corn to Buffalo and 20;c for corn to Kingston.

There 15 wgeneral feeling of uncertainty, wnd both buyers and sellers are very careful in their movements. There is still no confidence and no feeling of security about the fufure. As u rule, the moasage of tho presi- dent to congress met with the appro- val of the “wool trade, as far us its summing up of the financial distress and its recommendations for relief are concerncd. It felt that with the repeal of the objection- able elauses of tho Sherman silvor act there would e some return of confidence and an ensier ma market, but it iy also feit ° that prospective tarifl ohanges would be detrimental, and there could be no full recovery 'of normal business conditions in the country untilit was fully known what, If anything, Wwas to be done with the tarif. Alocal tia le paper says: This lntter un- gortainty has d boit as much as the financial stringency to depress the business situation.

The transactions were only 157,452 shares including 80,5458 un- listed. The on cv above all others which inspired confidence and contributed most to the strength of the market was the offering of money on time in_round amounts for the first time in several weeks.

Birds and Insects Must Do Their When Courting, The wooing of birds is most refined and graceful. Love tunes their res tive pipes, and they seek to captivato their mates by their sweetest notes und most varied warblings, says the Boston Globe. The wood pigeon charms his lady love by a series of acrial evolutions and a curious flapping of his strong wing feathers, pufling his breast and tenderly cooing. At mating time the plumage of male birds is move handsome than at any other period—indeed, some birds assume different colors in the spring. Yellow hammers charm their mates by displaying their tail feathers in the form of a fan; starlings chatter in the sunshine to show the metallic beauty of their breast feathers, and swallows circle and double in graceful flight before their lady loves. Bright shells, flowers, feathers and grasses arve laid by the bower bird at the entrance of his partner's retreat; and tiny humming birds woo most assiduously, showing off their lovely hues and engaging in fierce combat with a possible rival; even bringing nectar from choice flowers for the delectation of their fairy brides. Hen birds exhibit all the vagaries of their sex and pretend to be indifferent to the exertions of their admire; Frogs have an original way of love making and as soon as evening shades fall commence to croak loudly to their mates, sometimes great numbers of them combining in one unmusical choru Courting among inscets is often a very elaborate affair. A male spider will ap- proach a female and amuse her for some time with his antics. It is said that he twirls around and around, crosses his legs, ercets his body and exceutes a sort of mazy dunce to excite her admiration. She is a very vicious lady and not al- ways pleased with his love making; sometimes he finds bhimsell obliged to ward her off, for she has a painful mode of showing her displeasure, and if she entirely disapproves of his attentions will fall upon him and rend him to picces. One species of spider is said to have a novel wa, of making love, the sexes communicating by means of strands of web stretehing from one retreat to the other—y sort of telephone, so to speak. Glow worms, according to some natur- alists, use their luminaries as love sig- nals, The females of one species scat themselves among the grass, while the malas, attracted by the light, dance at- tendance round thém, Concerning fishes—the sticklebacks occasionally resort 1o harsh treatment, attacking the females with open mouths and erected spines. As hushands their behavior is certainly eccentrie, for after the female has deposited her cggs within the nest that he has prepared for her her lord and master drives her away and proceeds to hatch them him- self, Prettiest Z e A Japanese Novelty. In some villages in Japan robbers are tried and convicted by ballot. When- ever a robbery is ¢ mmitted the raler of the hamlet summons the entire male population and requests them to write on a slip of paper the name of the person they suspect as having committed the crime. The one receiving the largest number of ballots is declared duly “olacted,” and is accordingly hanged. This system, like all others, has its pe- culiar advantages. It insures the pun- ishment of somebady for every robbery committed, as under the system in vogue in most eivilized countries in nine cases out of ten no punishment is in- flicted on anybody for thy crime. Of course, they may not “‘elect” the guilty person, but dispose of some other char- actor equally us bad. There is much in the system to commend it to other na- tions, Science contains an interesting ac- count of the Tell-cl-Amarna tablets.

Completion of a Thirty-Ton Motor. The eclectric locomotive for steam roads has of Ameno- High Speed use on finally become an ac- complis] fact, and in a few days a thirty-ton high speed motor of this kind will be exhibited at the World's fair. It was constructed in the Lynn shops ot the General ectric company and will g0 out to Chicago in tow of ‘a regular train. Ivis built to the standard steam railroad gauge and its dimensions are somewhat similar to the steam motors now in use on our elevated roads. Itis 164 feet long, 114 fect high and 8 feet 4 inches wide. The motors are supported on springs resting upon the frame of the machine, and the armatures are mounted upon hollow shafts through which the axle: of the wheels pass, and to which they are conneeted by special couplings. Tho cab is of sheet iron and is built upon the frame of the iocomotive directly over the moving pacts. It is symmetrical in appearance, and it is so curved as to offer receding surfaces to the atmos- pherie pressure. The windows allow an unobstructed view in all direction: The interior of the cab is finished in hard wood and is lighted by a cluster of incandescent lamps. Inside this cab are the electrie air compressors for operat- ing the air brakes and the whistie and the controlling switch. Above the frame of the cab at each end are placed the electrie headlight “The electricity will be taken up by the motors according to prevailing condi- tions. The trolley may be, under cer- tain circumstances, the method adopted, while under others the current will be taken from conductors running parallel with the service rails by means of a run- ning wheel or a sliding shoe contact, us in the case of the inteamural railway at the fair or the overhead railway at Liverpool. The locomotive is expected to attain a normal speed of thirty miles an hour, It is primavily intended for elevated work and for light freight traftic and pussenger sorvice, The adoption of the electric logomo- tive will, of course, be gradual, but for places comparatively near each other, and whore traflie is dense, it is peculiarly adapted. 1t will probably first be used in elovated railroad service,and in cities like New York, Brooklyn und Chicago should be hailed with" delight, doing away, as it will, with the present evils of noise, coul, smoke, dust, einders una flying sparks that attend the motors now in use This invention is the first practical step toward the adoption of electricity altogether as a means of securing abso- lute rapid transit. The electric locomo- tive is susceptibleof a higher speed than that already obtained by our wost mag- nificent steam locomotives, for while there is always a limit to steam produc- tion and utilization dependent upon the structural and operating zonditions of the locomotive, the limit of spoed of a revolying armature is as yet unknown, - Courtland beach. s The Boowmerang The boomerang, the Australian native's weapon of offense and defense referred to in all reference works us an, instrument unknown until after the discovery of Australis, was doubtless known before the time of Christ, Pliny the clder, a contemporary of our Savior, writey as follows in his ‘ Natural Hiswory" respecting an instrument made of the wood of the aquifolia: “If a stafl Balloon tonight made of this wood, when thrown atan Standard_0il Co. _Refined and lubricating Carpenter Paper Co | olls, axle groase, ote.

Sketoh of the Late Lioutonant Clurke of the Tenth Cavalry. Lieutenant Powhatan H. Clarke of the Tenth cavalry was drowned ten days ago in the Little Big Horn river, near the fateful spot where Custer and his command were massacred in 1876, Lieutenant Clarke, one of the most gallant and distinguished of the young ofticers of the army, was introduced to the readers of Harper's Weekly three years ago by Frederic Remington, who was on terms of intimate friendship with the young ecavalryman. Licutenant Clarke was also known to the readers of the Weekly by reason of the several valuable articles that he contributed to iton the German army. He was noted in the cavalry as a havd rider, a hard fighter, and & most lous officer, In the campaign of 1886 against the Apaches he distinguished himself by his gallantry, and was awarded with the medal of honor, - Mr. Remington, in the article alluded to, thus speaks of the gallant action which won the medal for Licutenant Clarke: “He once pulled a wounded corporsl under cover from Apache bullets at some little personal risk, since they fired some fifty shots at bim, and replied to some admiring friends concerning it, ‘Well, what else could [ do?' Of eourse it is readily soen that he could do nothing else, although most other men would be tertile enough in expedients to devise a way for not doing the thing at all.” This wus char« acteristic of the young soldier, whonever missed an opportunity to risk his own lifo und safoty in the interst of any ene in danger. Lieutenant Clarke was ginia, but was Louisiana I blood. He was graduated from West Point in 1884, well toward the head of his class. He entered the Second cav- alry as second lieutenant, and was ims mediately assigned to duty on the frons tier, He mained there until 1886, during which year he won the medal for gallantry, He was then assigned as military attache to the legation in Bers lin, where he entered a crack Prussian regiment and took a year's service, His soldierly qualities won for him the res gard of the German officers with whom he served. His papers abiut the Gers man army are considered by military men to be v valuable. Mr. Clarke was promoted to be first lieutenant in 1891, and assigned to the Ninth cavalry, As soon, however, as he could lrrumr/ it, ho was transferred back to his old regiment. He was married abouta year ago, and his young wile survives him, born in Vire ich in his
