Lowest vt.lue for the crop were registered by wheat today at tha openlnK. Thire was a temporary rally on covering by shorts, but offer ings became freer and the market de clined again, closing Irregular, 4 lower to H hlrber at 974 for September and 9fifc for December. Corn, after a nervous opening; a shade higher to V4 lower, firmed up on the forecast of unsettled weather In the northwest and closing' strong M to He net higher with Septem ber at 73 and December at eS'iifiwH Onts, after a little early strength, which followed a weak opening, declined and closed to M lower, provLsi'Jns closed dull and easier, 7V4 lower to 2V4 higher. The low prices which marked the open ing of the wheat market wa the signal for a rush of buying, mostly on the port of short, who were prompted lsrgcly by a sharp upturn at Minneapolis where mills were buying heavily. Values here ad vanced materially but free offerings brought out a reaction In a little while, weakening In the northwest markets also being .1 factor In the decline here. The latter half of the session In this wheat pit was marked by a steady de cline. Favorable weather conditions were predicted and news came from the northwest thnt country offerings were Increasing and a largo movement waa expected next week. The strength manifested by oorn In the flrM hour continued to the finish ex cept for a slight decline after the top points had been .-cached. The rally was quick and decisive. Shorts were large buyers and acted on forecast of frost for north w tstcrn states and continued mall movements of cash corn. Oats sagged at the opening to the lowest prlcee recorded by the crop. There was a fair rally on short covering In sympathy with other grain, and on pros pects of unsettled weather. The close ss near Uia low point of the day. There was little business In the provi sion market Pork and ribs showed the most active, but throughout the list there was a declining tendency. Quotations on futures range as follows: Artlclel Open.

An Interesting feature of the wartlmo demand for coal la that It has brought about the reopening of hundreds of derelict mines In the remote valleys of the Pennine range, a long line of hills that stretches from the vicinity of Manchester straight north to the Scottish border. The entire region lies above immense fields of coal, but difficulties of transportation and lack of capital have heretofore prevented any extensive development As the great coal districts of South ern Lancashire and Yorkshire become de pleted, more attention must be paid to these upland deposits and the problem of reaching them with transportation facili ties must be met. At present there is no railway which reaches wlth'n twenty miles of the most accessible fields. Wartime prices, however, have turned attention to these old mines, and In a primitive way tht owners and tenants have begun flecking out a few hundred tons here and thei and marketing it at various points, which can be reached by horse transport The mines are worked In old-time fashion by a few colliers each. There la little attempt at Umbering, and the levels are constructed to drain nat urally. The seams are approximately a yard in thickness and as they pass level Into the moors are easily workable. Some of the mines were opened up many generation 1 ago and later abandoned; a few have been worked In half-hearted fashion until galleries a couple of miles i long have been cut Old church records, , old parchments and manorial deeds are I full of allusions of these deposits. The cheapness with which the coal may I be mined is Indicated by the fact that at ; on pit above Wensleysdale, for example, I It Is sold t the pit mouth at SI ton, 1 but so severe Is the climb to the mind that 800 pounds is a good borse load.

A Hunrarlan of ficer, describing the fighting on the Tyro lean mountain peaks, a mile above sea level states that the most difficult problem for the staff Is to maintain the supply of food to the troop. On account or the high altitude and the continuous physical strain, they need good supplies and plenty of them. The officer pays a tribute to the work of the Red Cross, "Our wounded have to be carried down in sheet tied to the ends of sticks, and It takes a drsen men to carry om down," be remarks. Rcout duty Is particularly dangerous, except for skilled Alpinists, and many of these never return. Touching on the remarkable echoes thrown bark by th mountain peaks, the offV-er says: "The roar of the gun la heard twice, thrice, or perhaps a doxen times, tha echo throw ing the sounds bock and forth, and transforming a slnple report Into a fusil lade. Many of our men have been ren dered unconscious or even driven mad by the fearful noise of the runs In the rartfied atmosphere of these high alti tudes," The same officer in another letter de scribed an attack by the Italian on the positions held by his troops. "It was after S o'clock In the evening when the Itsl'sn Infnntrv betran to climb the mountain and storm the positions. We lay low behind the rooks and poured fusillade of fire upon them a they came up in three line. That wss easy. But some terrible nd trying moments for our troops earns after this. The Italians, having been reinforced by another bri gade, rsme In such force and with such determlnsMnn that the hot barrel of our rifles could do no more. A fourth brigade wss then tswn In reserve trotting: up behind. "They surprised the advanced positions, a whole romnony fel!

LONDON. Aug. 14.-The dean of Inir haru does not believe that the war will result In general disarmament and uni versal peace "when the war drums throb no longer and the battle flags a re furled."

SLEEP-AND EAT- TOO-MUCH Reduction of Both Will Make the World Better. THAT'S WHAT TOM EDISON SAYS Prospective Increase Its Maa's Pro dnrtlve Tower and Poverty ' Rooked for a Fade away. Bald Kittson to me: "Humanity will have to live In double shifts, by and by, be cause the world will be so crowded; and It will have to sleep less. "By sleeping les It will enormously In crease Ha productive power, for sleep la an absurdity. bad habit "It will have to eat less because the world's population will be so great that Its productiveness will not keep pace with a per capita consumption a great as that of the present t'me. Ry eating less It will enormously In crease its efficiency and happiness and will do away with poverty. These statements by the great Inventor were drawn out in the course of a long talk occasioned by the thirty-fifth n n'vorsary of his Invention of the electric lighting system wht"h occurs this month. Edison expects more rspld progress In the future than the past has ever known. I asked him to tell me something of his estimate of what his Invention of the electric lamp really has accompl'shed. "It seems to have been the starting point for the whole era of electrical de velopment," he answsred. "You s." he went on, slowly, "as soon as the light was proved to be practical thing It wss plain thnt It Was of paramount Import ance. It was clear that It must speedily and completely be developed. I estimate thst 8 er cent of the work of develop ing our present electr'o lighting system was devoted to the perfection of the lamp and that 87 per cent was devoted to the perfection of the system which makes the lamp available for practical useful ness. "The problem Involved In th distribu tion of electricity for lighting purposes throughout large eommun'tle and It ale to the consumer, by meter measure ment, Involved sn enormou amount of study and hsrd labor. To make each light Independent of all other lights was a great task, "About the only help I bad In ths development of the electr'o light lay In the fact that the scientific world was all sgalnst me, and recited Ohm's law to prove the ease. , "It was an Interesting situation. 1 turned the Ohm's law around and did rhat was regarded as the opposite of that which It provided for, and found thai It applied to the reversed situation per fectly. Rut I wasn't satisfied with this success. I wanted to furnish power aa trelt aa light aa soon as the wires Wert, spread through th streets. "Presently we put the world's flrt elee trlo railway Into operation at Menlo Park, and I was sure that th Idea was practical. Its development needed money, though, and capital was hesitant In deed. I was assured by the greatest finan cial figures In Wall street that this scheme of operating railroad by eloo- tr'clty was th craxlest Idea that ovei had been advanced by anyone assuming to be sane. "I had carefully gathered all tha figures of the cost of horse cars and their opera tion and was sure that the substitution of electric power for horse power would result In an enormous saving. Indeed, knew, and my knowledge wss exact 1 knew electrlo traction was th om'ng thing, and a very big thing. But It fooled trie. Had Underestimated ft. "It was bigger than I thought It was, I had made a better rues than Wall street had, but my guess had been far from adequately prophetic It was so big that It amased me. It Increased traffic startllngly. As a matter of fact, electrlo traction has Increased street car trafflo, I estimate, by 600 per cant "The first electrlo cara revealed a facility ot operation and a rapidity of movement which no on but myself seemed to have expected. "Their multiplication of trafflo w enormous, their effect upon street rU way receipts was very great Then the men In Wall street who bad declared them to be a crasy dream, began to spec ulate in electrlo traction stock. Thef have been at It ever since. KWtrlolty Expands Day. "I don't believe the electrlo light has ever stirred much sentiment In m. I had so much trouble and worry In con nection with the perfection and Introduc tion of th lights that I never have had time for sentiment about them. "I believe they have expanded what wa may describe as 'day,' and that that baa Increased the possibilities of effective hu man effort I rather like to think of that "Everything which decreases the sum total of man' sleep Increases the sum total of man's capabilities.

"A a matter of fact a very simple bit of arithmetical figuring will show that by and by humanity will have to live In double shifts, so that there may be room upon the earth for all the people."

On hundred and fifty hours a week mean more than twenty-one hour a . day and w all gained weight "The man who sleep too much suffer from It In many ways and gains nothing from It Th average man who sleeps seven or eight or nine hours dally Is con tinually oppressed by lassitude. Never Had Dream, 'I have never overslept, and I have never had a dream, good or bad, so far as I know, in my life.
