LONDON, Nov. 6.—The amount of money was not diminished today and discounts were dull. There were indications of bet- ter business in some departmrents on the Stock exchange and, though mainly profes- slonal, the tone was fairly good. The war loan advanced to 100. Home ralls were gen- erally maintained, but there was a renewed fall “in London ' and Brighton deferred. A feature of the transactions In forelgners was the demand for Peruvian corporations, especlully for deferred, owing to the satis- factory dividends. Amerioans opened firm, but became wildly excited and more busi- ness was transacted in the first hour than is usually done in four hours. It quickly became evident that the public was en- gaged in profit taking, however, and quota- tlons were lowered all round.’ Operators were anxious about the effect of the elec- tion in the United Btates, being quite un- certain as to the res Grand Trunks were firm and then became easier. There was a decline in American securities on the Stock exchange late In the afternoon, due to English and continental selling. There were no orders from New York.

LOSS OF THREE FEET THIS YEAR Summary of the Lake Measurements and Ree- Remedies Urged to Save the Lake. Oreat Salt Lake is drylng up at an alarmiag rate. The fall in the level of the water this year amounts to three feet and 18 traccable to irrigation ditches diverting the water of streams which formerly re- plenished the lake losses by evaporation. Prof. Marcus E. Jomes, in a letter to the Salt Lake Tribune, points out the cause of the alarming losses and suggests a rem- edy. He say “On September 1 the writer made & care- ful examination of the old Antelope island bar, which comnects the island with the mainland, In order to determine more ac- curately certain facts in the past move- ments of the lake and to obtain data for determining the average depth, density, etc,, of the lake. Those who are familiar with the history of the lake know that on the actual elevation of this and the Stams- bury bars hinge our data during certain critical periods in the past, especlally the height of the lake in 1849 and 1877, “The first recorded observations om the e were made In 1843 by Fremont. In 1849-50 Captaim Stamsbury surveyed and charted it Again in 1869 the King Fortieth Parallel party resurveyed the lake and charted it. In the early '70's G. K. Gilbert, connected with the United States geolog- feal survey, b observations and sur- veys, which comtinued with varyisg inter- vals till 1884, when he was recalled to Washington. In 1879 the writer began to study the lake and has continued without interruption till now. In 1889 Gilbert pub- lished his comclusiens in an elaborate monograph. Karly Measure m the fall of 1848 or the: bury found that it was all dry land be tween the south point of Antelope island and the southern mainland with the excep- little channel six inches deep near nd and about three miles from the southern point on the eastern side. On October 19, 1877, Gilbert tried to plat the same bar by soundings while the bar was under several feet of water and he says that he readily found Stansbury's little chamnel of twenty-elght years before. He determined its elevation to be 1.2 feet by the Garfield zero. This, then, is the as- sumed elevation of the bar 1849, and Mr. Gilbert never seems to have thought it could vary by an inch. “On October 1, 1 Captain Davis (not D. L.) sailed over the Antelope bar in his yacht, drawisg three and one-half feet of water, and found four feet of water over the bar in the shallowest place. The tual lake reading at that day was three feet above the Garfleld zero, a difference of 2.2 feet. The official reading at that time in calm weather gave a difference of one foet five inches. It should be remem- bered that great care is taken with the officlal records to get the true level In calm weather, so that If there is & wind on the day of observation the actual read- ing is disregarded and the average of pre- vious recding each day for a few days be- fore and after is taken instead. So we are reasonably certain that the actual level of the bar had changed in fifteen years by one and cme-half feet, as the yacht could not have gotten over the bar at all had it been at the same level us it was in 1877, “‘On Beptember 1, 1900, the writer found the deepeat water over the bar to be four inches, with the gauge reading 1 foot 1 inch, show- ing that the difference was then .45 foot be- t\ 'n the level of 1877 and 1900, or .45 foot lower than in 1877, but it should be noted that the shallowest place had now moved three miles to the southwest, and Is mow near the southern end of the island. The old shallow spot corresponding to Gilbert's and Stansbury's channel was about two inches deeper. Through the bar the water was running &t a three-mile current to the aorthward; that is, from the deep part of the lake toward the mouth of the Jordaa. Density the Water, “On September 18 the writer took a sample of the water from the lake after it had been theroughly mixed up from the deep part of the lake by a heavy storm and found it went 25 per cent solid matter. This I know to be a fair sample of the lake water at that time. By applying the normal increment due to the fall of the lake and adding it to the density found by Dr. Gale in 1849 we arrive at the conclusion that the lake in Stansbury’s time was 1 foot % inch higher than Gllbert assumed it to ‘be. Applying the same reasoning to data furnished by a sample of water taken from the lake in June, 1900, by Sheley, the bar should have been 1 foot 414 inches higher than Gilbert's assump- tion, but as Sheley’s sample was taken dur- ing & long calm period it may have been 1 per cent too high, as tests made by me in the past show that difference between wator near the shore five feet deep and water out in the middle of the lake. Such a variance ‘would make a difference of a foot in the as- sumed height of the bar, and as the dis. crepancy is only a foot, we shall not be able to use the data of Sheley. It should be stated, however, that we do not know the exact date of collecting Gale's water, and as there was a difference in the level of the lake that year of at least two feet, his sam- ple was probably correctly taken and cor- rectly analyzed, so that the error in the level of the lake at that time is probably Gllbert's. c- Water Diverted. “If we correct the error in the lake curve required by our more accurate data now at hand, we shall find that it is not enough to require any marked change in the curve, nor any change In our conclusions as to the causes of the oscillatioms of Great §:1t lake, which are that up to 1890 or thore- abouts the oscillations were due to cli- matic changes and that human energles had not yet made themselves felt 5o as to be noticeable in the oscillations of the lake. At that time there was as much water flowing in the Jordan as mow, as far as can be ascertalned. At that time there was & small amount of water flowing in the Weber, more than now. (N-w there 1s practically none.) The Bear river hi & large amount'of water flowing in it all the year. Since that time the great Bear river canal has been put in operation and has consumed increasiug amount of water each i ti it has completely changed the osciliations of the lake, so that they do mot respond to climatic in- fluences any more. The writer had hoped, ard was led to believe from the past history of the lake, that the opening of the canal would only affect the oscillations of the lake temporarily, but it Is now several years #ince this effact should have worn off, If it 1 r to do 8o, but the lake continucs to fall alarmingly and we have no reason to hope that, with the canal running, the lake will ever regain its old level until the an- nual rainfall exceeds nincteen incches per apnum or more, and the probabilitios ngalnst such an Increase in the rainfall are 10 to 1. It s almost certain that under present conditions and present rainfall the lake will elther dry up entirely or nearly 50, and in the mear future. At this rite there will be no bathing at Saltair in two years and in three years the resort will brought to the Douglas county Jall Andrew Khuteson, who has celpts, 4,700 head natl . 60 head Texan: 8 '%0 head caives: Nght supply that sol he!

The density of the lake is mow 121 &p. kr., or per cemt solid matter. Th Actual saturation under normal tempera- ture fs 31.1 per cent, or a difference of only 6 per cent. The theoretical saturation polnt of pure salt is 34 per cent. The re- sults here obtained are none of them (but the last) theoretical, all the others have been determined by direct exper.mest on the lake water; this includes density or specific gravity, solid contents, saturation point. Many tests have been made by now, though interesting in finding the aver- the writer in the past on density, covering many years, but they will not be given Alarming Shrinkage. “It we take a fair average of the rain- fall about 1900 and now (the last few years), we find there has been an Increase In the normal rainfall of about two incues, which under normal conditions should have raised the lake two feet above them, but there has beem a fail of the lake of three feet, or a total shrinkage (due to artificial causes) of five feet. In 1893 there was an increase in‘the rainfall of three inches, which should have raised the lake three feet, but it actually raised it en inch above the year before. In 1806 there was an increase in the rainfall of six and one- half inches, which should have raised the lake several feet, but the lake actualiy rose about three Inches. During the present year the lake will fall about three feet. It has lost in the last few years 8,000,000,000 tons of water that has gcmw up in the air and out of the great basin, never to return, in addition to the usual evaporation, or enough to irrigate 1,800 square miles for ome year and have a foot of water left over for every square foot of the whole 1,800 square miles. Fortun- ately we have sufficlent data to fix the responsibility for this loss directly upon those producing it. “The question now s, What are the people of Utah iu general, and Salt Lake City in particular, going to do about it? The rallroads of Utah are not golng to stand idly by and let the greatest attrac- tion of Utah dry up, without fixing the responsibility and stoppimg it if there Is any law in Utah. Salt Lake City will be very foolish if it does not protect itself, for it is the most directly concerned both in money and health, as the exposure of the mouth of the Jords will breed sick- mess by the sewage germs becoming dust and being blown back into the city by the prevailing winds, and by the heavy alka- line storms which will prevall over the dry bed of the lake and cover us with alkall at times. The Remedy. “To the mind of the writer there are but two solutions of the problem—shut up the Bear river canal and the extra us waters of the Weber, etc. from without the great basin by a canal from the Snake or Greem river, or both. To close the canal means a serious loss to & large farming area. To stop the extra use of the water means distress to many bona fide settlers, and the whole means a considerable loss to Utah in commerce. The logical way to get water into the great basin is to compel those who have caused the loss to restore it by building a canal to bring In water from without. If this 1s not done, them the city must do it, or the state. The loss of this water is an injury to the whole state, as it will de- crease the rainfall of the enmtire state, and in the end ruin more farms than the Bear river canal can ever bemefit. This is why the writer has for some time been quietly trylng to interest the public im tting water into the great b It will not benefit me except as it benefits the state, as ‘I have no ranch or farm to irrigate, nor any other special interest that would be affected. ‘The sources from which water can be brough' nto the basim are probably thre the Snake river, Green river, and Ham's fork of the Green river. The last will be the least expensive, but will not furmish encugh water. The other two have abundance of water that will never he ap- propriated except {n such a way. The bug- bear that Smoot has in.cnted (by stopping the work by injunctions) will mever m terialize, for the only people who might do such a thing are those of the Brar river valley, who would never try such a thing for fear that thelr water might be con- flscated i, they tried to stop the repair of the waste which they cause. In addition the water could be brought In in such quantity as to enable enough new farms to start to repay the emtire cost of the canal in a few yea A capal the size of the Bear river canal ought to afford the water needed to supply the waste. Any onme of the proposed canals would enter the great basin by way of Bear River valley. There might be considerable water brought into the basin from the south side of the Uln. tas, coming over into the Weber river. The expense would be considerable.” The Bee has the best facilities for getting the quickest election retu extra. DEFECTS OF THE EYBSIGHT. most commonly encountered Im otherwl bealthy persons and which can be more or less perfectly overcome by means of glasses, says Youth's Companion, are near- slghtedness, far-sightedness and astigm: tism. These are all important, for, be- sides the discomfort and annoyance of {m- pertect sight, the Involuntary efforts which the sufferer makes to see better strain the eyes and not only injure them, but also glve rise, through reflex action, to head- aches and various mervous disturbance: ightedness, short-sightedness, or 8 it 18 variously called, Is a con- dition of the eyeball—usually a lengthe: ing—in consequence of which the rays ot 1ight are brought to a focus in front of the retina and so the object 18 blurred. This condition may exist from birth, but whenever near objects are looked at. 18 usually the result of too much and too carly use of the eyes, as in the case of students, engravers, women who do fine sewlng and so forth. Thus we may say that putting children at work at some of the kindergarten exercises, such as perfor- ating and drawing, s in & double sense a short-sighted procedure, Many ncar-sighted people refuse to wear gluvses, preferring to deprive themselves of sight for everything beyond the nose rather than injure their personal appear- ance, as they think. This is another short- sighted policy, for, besides losing much of the joy of existence which comes from eeeing the beautitul things aboiit and above us, such persons are very llable to suffer trom inflammation of the eyes produced by constant strain. A less common defect is long or far- | sightedness, or hypermetropla. This 1s the oprosite of myopla, the eyeball being flat- temed or shortened and the rays of light consequently not coming to & focus by the time they reach the retina. In this case the eye often corrects the defect more or less successfully by mak- ing the crystalfine lens more convex, but it does this at the expense of the sufferer's nerve force, and so we often find tired and congested eyes, headaches, indigestion and even serious nervous affections. The effort to correct the vision is entirely In- voluntary and can be overcome only by the fitting of suitable convex glasses. The third and most common defect is astigmatism. In this condition there fs some irrekularity of the surface of the eye or the lens, by means of which the image as it reaches the retina is distorted. Untreated astigmatisin is a frequent cause of headache and other mervous disturb- nces.

ROPER FURNISHES THE ONE SENSATION Runs Forty-Five ¥ Hown and Spoils ¢ for Go s for a Tom ce Kick nd Thus Loses the Game, NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Before nearly 85,- 000 people the Columbia foot ball eleven today defeated Princeton by a score of 6 to 6 on Columbla fleld. It was one of the flercest games seen here and from the Kick-off was full of fine team work and individual plays. The interference of both teams was good. Roper of Princeton fur- nished the sensations of the game. In a scrimmage he got the ball from Berrien on fumble and made a run of forty-five yards for a touchdown, planting the ball squarely behind the goal posts. In the try-at-goal, however, Roper, who held the ball for Mills, touched it down prematurely and the Columbia men rushed on and stopped the place kick, thsu depriving Princeton of the possibility of a goal, though this technicality has seldom beem taken ad- vantage of. Great crowds of people packed the grand stand, the viaduct which overlooked the fleld and the hills to the west. The sup- porters of each team had their ranks en: couraged with numerous large megaphones and Columbla kept a band playing popular airs all through the game. Princeton, al- though her team had been through a game with Cornell on Saturday, was in fine shape and 80 was Columbla. The latter had welght in her favor, her men averaging nearly four pounds heavier. The final score was 6 to 6. Following is the line-up: Columbta, Position, Princeton. Wolfr.. Left end..

Beliet That & Moving Traim Carries One With It. “The theory that a moving traim carries alonk an envelove of air is very Interest- ing.”” sald the engineer to a New Orleans Times man. “and I believe there s a good deal of truth in it. I first had my atten- tion attracted to the subject by a curious incident that happened several years ago at @ crossing near Birmingham, Ala., where trains pass twice a day at a speed of about forty miles an hour. The tri are seven feet apart and there would seem to be ample room to stand between them in perfect safety. One afternoon a small fox terrier dog belonging to @& section boss was asleep in the middle space and woke up jwst as the trains closed in from each side. There was a barrel on the ground near by and the dog in his fright Jumped on top of It. That possibly brought him into one of the rushing envelopes of alr; at any rate he was whirled oft his teet and thrown clear to the roof of the opposite car, where he was subsequently found, jammed against a ventilator chim- mey, with no Injury excep: a broken leg.

While the Ca fornia bound express was going through western Arizona at a clipping gait a passenger who was on the verge of the Jim-jams rushed out to the rear platform. climbed on the rail und jumped oft. He was wearing a very long linen duster and a muscular tourist who happened to be on the platform at the time grabbed it by the tails as it sailed by and yelled for help. When some of the others ran to his assistance they found the lunatic stretched wtralght out in the air behind the plutform, howling llke a Comanche, but safely an- chored by his duster, which had turned ingide out and caught him by the shoulders. The muscular gemtleman was hanging on for dear life, but had it not been for the fact that the would-be sulcide was vir- tually sustained and carried along by the suction of the vortex space something would certainly have given way.

GLORIES OYSTER TIME, nt the Rusine n Around New York City. Now is the succulent bivalve in the hey- day of his glory. This is the season of the full oyster pail, relates the New York Herald, Not ir years have oysters been so plentiful; never have they been fatter or sweeter, according to East River Bridge | Commissioner Beyle, who is probably the largest and best known oyster dealer in the metropolls. One hundred million oysters come to this clty cach week during the “R" months, One hundred thousand a day are shipped In the shell from New York to less favored localities. Oysters are even exported in ever Increasing quantities to Burope. The frelght charges to Liverpool are no higher than the inland tariff to St. Louls. Consc quently about 4,000 buskels a week leave this port for Burope. In this vicinity oysters are sold by “‘counts”—that s, by the 100 or 1,000. In the interfor they are sold in bulk, opened, at 80 much per quart or gallon. To mearby cities, like Buffalo, oysters are sent in the shell, but to Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis and other more distant points they are shipped opened. About 150,000 ‘ shucked" oysters are sent out of New York each day. Most of the varieties recelved here now are Blue Points, Oak Islands, Bast River Kills, Rockaways and Buzzard Bay oysters. Blue Polnts no longer come from any particular €pot, but signity a large, long, firm, sweet- flavored oyster emanating from various localities * Long Island for fts entire length and the Connecticut shores of the sound furnish the local market with the bulk of its sup- ply. While a single fomale oyster will yield from 10,000 to 60,000 young the infant mortality among oysters is most awful Up to April the oyster farmer cultivates the growth of his prospective crop. Prior to that he has procured his seed oysters, from Concecticut, very llkely, paylng 76 cents & bushel for from 1,500 to 2,000 seed oysters. These seed oysters are carefully planted in beds where old oyster and scal- lop shells and small scaly rocks will af- ford them a “‘clutch,” or anchorage. They are planted at the rate of about fitty bushels to the acre. While oysters are found at different depths, largely depending upom the tem- perature of the water, in the United States the majority are taken In water from fifteen to thirty feet deep, although dredges are used down to fifteen fathoms. The French and English oystermen dredge or- dinarily dowm to thirty fathoms. In sha)- low water oysters are taken with “tongs,” & pair ot very long-handled iren-toothed rakes that open and shut like a pair of scissors. In deeper water dredges are used. Theso are coarse meshed mets of very heavy twine or iron chainwork, secured to a rectangular iron frame, which scrapes over the bottom. The frame {s about twice as wide as It is high, being usually three or four feet across. The long sides are sharpened or more generally furnished with large pro- Jecting teeth. The dredge is usually at- tached by a long chain to & small winch, worked by one or two men. The larger oyster boats carry two dredges, Tonging s usually prosecuted by small beats, dredging from larger vessels of from fivo to fifty tons burden. The men, often small farmers or fishermen at other seasons of the year, start out early in the morning and rake until they have gathered a sloop load, say seventy bushel baskets. There 18 quite an industry in oyster grow- ing at Jamaica and on the Great South bay. In these waters the oysters are grown on bars, where they are raked together and thrown into baskets when the tide is low. At high tide the boats are floated over the bars, the baskets lifted into them and themce con- veyed to the Raritan river. Here one of the tricks of the oysterman's trade fs resorted to. The oysters are put overboard and allowed to drink heartily all night of fresh water. The river fattens and freshens them at the same time, this latter process being all important because the bi- valve is by no means a favorite in its natural saline state. The oysterman after treating his cargo thus proceeds on his way to Gansevoort or Fulton market. Most of the balf shells eaten hereabouts are two years old. While oysters are taken at all seasons of the year, they are pretty gen- erally protected by law during their spawn- ing period, from May to September. The number of oysters consumed s enormous, 30,000,000 bushels being a very conservntive estimate of the quantity consumed annually in this oountry. Their value In round fig- ures {8 more than $16,000,000. Maryland leads, with about 12,000,000 bushels a year. Oyster culture in the United States dates back to 1820. The shell heaps of Europe tes- tity to the antiquity of oyster fisheries. ‘At an early date the Romans cultivated oysters in beds, which are still used for that pur- pose. Down at the foot of Perry street the bulk of the oyster dealers of the metropolls have their headquarters. There are more than two dozen oyster shops, plaln, two-story floating structures. About 100 oyster sloops and schooners come thither every day dur- ing the season. Down at Fulton market, on the East river side, about half as many more vessels deliver their cargoes each morning. Inside the oyster houses the ‘‘shuckers” #it In a long row and work Itke mill hand: They are usually paid $1 per 1,000 for open- ing oysters, and a good man makes at least $5 a day during the seuson. The oysters that are to be sent out of town in the shell are packed into barrels and dispatched on fast freight trains. Nearly all the finest oysters are gelected for the local hotels and restau- rants, which pay a good price for the best flavors and firmest varieties. There Is a big profit for them at that, as the usual order does not contain more than elght to ten oysters, and at 20 cents, notwithstanding rent, service, etc., the restaurateur makes | money, A curlous by-product of the oys 80 to speak, 1s the use of the shells for manure and for road building. The refuse shells from the large oyster canneries are also burned into lime for use in making gas, or are used as a flux In the manufacture of certain kinds of lron. Buggin Philad growled nd the Bow.
