1HK UIUA1IA JM1LX HJftW : M.UJN IJA X , AUUUSL' WORST POINT IS PASSED Banker Henry Glows Thinks Wall Street's ' Business is ou tbo Rise. MARKED IMPROVEMENT OF LAST V/EEK / V A > DrlrJh to DduiltorjttHck * on We nk Stuoki mid UuiTlltn Uier t < ir > Aliout Cloieil Out SiiRKUt * tlmt NfW i llunili Mny U * Iriuoil. In till weekly letter on finance , Henry Clews , the Wall street Imukcr , says : "So far , ns respect * the investment markets , the past week has , shown nn Im provement In both conditions and prospects. The working of the stock market has af forded clear evidence that tno point of low est depression has been reached. Under the worst conditions of demoralization there Is alwnyi a Invol of prices nt which Investors either domcstlo or foreign or both will bccomo buyers , add tt Is A ! matter of ocular demonstration ttint that force has now como in to sustain the market. The orders to buy from this cliiss form n back ground of support upon which the 'bear' attacks make little or no Impression. Their sales nro so far taken up by Investment buying that , when they want to borrow shares or to cover their sales , they Hnd themselves moro or less 'cornered. ' Their operations are , therefore , conllned to a few of the least supported stocks , out of which they seem satlsllcd to earn tholr dally salt. It Is no small gain to legitimate busi ness that the reckless filibustering of the raiders has been thus brought under check ; for It Is the ilrst step toward n rise to be assured that decline has touched its 'lowest deep. ' "Tho stock market has to a considerable extent broken loose from Inlluonces that are still depressing general business. The ex treme scarcity and continued hoarding of money lias little direct effect upon Stock exchange operations , That kind of business is done without the direct intervention of cash ; and us the banks can 'lend on stock loans without parting with currency they give a certain preference to stockbrokers , especially ns their collaterals , at the present low prices , form good security. Members of the exchange , therefore , Hnd no diniculty in borrowing nt bank at & to 0 ptr cent on Call , while other Important borrowers have to pay 10 to 1'J per cent for the insulllclcnt ac commodation that can be afforded them. This returning ability to got loans enables holders to protect themselves and makes Will I street less sensitive than other inter ests to the adverse course in which events are still running. llollcf Ill-ought by tlioVook. . "The week has on the whole contributed some important reliefs to the general situa tion , It Is true that there is no abatement of the common dearth of money , and none in the largo demands of tins interior banks for help from the metropolis ; the banks , indeed , nro as much pressed as they have over been , so much so that they are compelled to refuse currency to outside applications , ami have advanced rates to almost prohibitory llgures ; which simply means that a point has been reached nt which they can no longer afford to be generous but must stand for their own protection. But , at the .samo time , the fact that , by the end of next wcelc. nearly $ 'M.- 000,000 of gold will have been received from Europe while some $ rj,000,00 ( ) of now bank circulation will be in the course of issue , can not out have an important effect in relieving the scarcity of money and thereby restoring conlldenco. "Somo relief is also felt from the fact that congress is at last brought face to face with the great silver uangor. The message of President Cleveland was such a strong yet simple presentation of the cuso ns to carry to all classes a deep conviction of the danger in "which the hhcrniun act has placed the coun try , and the consequent necessity for im mediately repealing the obnoxious clauses of that law. The president having thus broadened and intensified the public hos tility to silver purchases , it seems reasonable to assume- the impossibility of congress failing to satisfy this universal demand. From such svinpfnns nt the cap ital us can bo traced amid the confusion of party maneuvering , it appears quite safe to assume that congress will ultimately adopt nn unconditional withdrawal of the authori zation to purchase silver. That is the solo slno qua non to the restoration of conHdonco and prosperity : and the country would like to know it and the u.ooner the bettor if lt % Is possible that a congress of the United States could be capable of refusing a measure so fundamentally vital and demanded by such an overwhelming majority of the pee ple. Kucgoita a Now llonil Iniue. "It 1 * much to bo hoped that this conclu flion may bo reached with the least possible delay , and tlmt the discussion of the ques tion may not bo hindered by mixing with it noncssontial Issues. After the main ques < lion has been decided , there are ether finan cial problems tnat would naturally arise out of the suspension of silver purchases , which congress might well consider. Lest the sud den cessation of a large supply of sliver money should result In the ovlls of contrac tion , It Is nocesury that some provision be made for now issues of currency from some other source. In order toprovidoagatnstthat Inconvenience , means should bo devised for an increase in the national bank circulation ; and , to moot the emergency. It might sufllce for at toast the present , that the national banks bo authorized to Issue notes up to the full face value of the bonds deposited as guaranty. This would allow of a largo In- crcnso In the circulation , and if further ex pansion should bo found necessary It could bo provided later by ether moans. Expe rience has shown the necessity of providing some resource by which the treasury could protect itself nud the public froin such emergene.'cs as have recently occurred and still exist. For that purpose it seems advisable that congress should au thorize the Issue of 3 p'cr cent bonds , by the secretary of the treasury and with the consent of the president , payable ut pleasure after ten years , nnd to bo 'used to provide for nnj obligations of the govern ment In periods of financial diniculty. These incninrcs seem a necessary supplement to the suspension of silver purchases : but other llnancinl legislation may well bo loft for later and maturer consideration. This being done the situation will bo cured , "At the close of the week , there is a do- elded Improvement in the situation among the bulks. They have inudo u considerable gain In currency during the week , and the arrivals of gold from England have relieved tliu tension In every direction. The general opinion among managers U that the danger point is now passed and that , with the further supplies of coin tocome from Europo. affairs will gradually work into an easier position. " CO.MMIIKI\I : , AND I'nrilrlilBO'n Short l.lnu l Wlii-ut U Ill-coin- . Ine Itmtu H 1'Mctor. CIIICAOO , Aug. la. Parurldgo's short line of wheat Is looming up as u factor in the market. Ho hvs : had perhaps TOJ.OJO bu. called from him on eaoh of the past three days , Ho has been a seller In the pit on bulges besides and Is salJ to ba slurt 4,003 , . 000 bu. U is gossip that ho is fighting the advance tooth nnd nail. After a period of hesitation , duo to cholera tain , there was another big bulzo in wheat today , September closing nt an advance of Jfo and December gained l-\e. Corn Is ? s'c bettor , although the general ruins must have great ly Improved the crop prospects. Provisions were very dull an-J averaged easier in price , but closed nt about yester day's figures , Wheat Blurted off weak and lower , but soon mndo u sharp dash upward , There were a good many selllngordors early ; and us the vhorU hud boon pretty well gathered in yesterday , there wus not mucn demand. Later lu the day confidence wus restored by the fact thut cxchango wus easier , lieli.g quoted at from par to U&o per < 1,000 discount and the buying was resumed , but v Ith very little for sale. Shorts got badly frightened and began to climb over each other in their efforts to oven up. null the investment demand increased lu boldness und volumeW. . U. Hcum wus ecllvo In bidding the market up. Cables , too , were stronger and higher , aud the ex. port clearances wore npnln liberal. The ro- colpti at primary markets wcronearly 1,000- 000 bu. less than thu preceding week , and It l calculated that the visible supply will show n fair dccrens'e. while In the corro- sK > ndlng wrok a year ago there was an In crease of 2,174,000 bu. The openin ? was about from H'c to } ff lower than yesterday's closing , fluctuated within a small ranee , and then advanced % v for September and j < c for December , eased off from -Vo to } < c , then rallied sharply , prices advancing 2'Jc , closIng - Ing firm within Uc of the top. If any ono in the corn trade had predicted a week ngo Hint the market could bo put up loir ono hour In the face of good ruins over nearly the entire corn belt , ho would have been nut down ns n lunatic. That is what occurred this morning. Cash was in urgent demand , shippers taking all the offerings , which were quite light. It was dlftlcult to obtain round shipping lots and the prices vrcro bid up nnd averaged from Jfo to } $ 'o higher than yesterday , vvhlch in turn af fected speculative values. The better de mand was duo to the bettor price of ox- change. Opening trades were nl n fractional loss , nnd sold off afterwards Jifc more , rally ing later on IJ c. changed but little , and nt the eloso had gained from U'o to fc. Oats started out slow nnd prices receded from J o to % a from thu opening. Later trading Increased , and as wheat nnd coVn ndvanccd oats sympathized nnd prices nd- vanccd % c , and the market closed linn nt about the top , with a net gain of > c for the dtiv. The provision market was almost stag nant until a-faw minutes from the close , when Armour & Co.'s brokers were put Into thn crowd to"bla ribs up , which they did without the necessity of buying ninny.

At other markets conditions have bcon much the same and whllo receipts have been rather lighter than anticipated , they have been none too light for the good of the market under existing circumstances. Speculative shippers have been compelled to suspenu operations at least temporarily , and whifo the dressed beef men have done uliput all the buying , they have needed enough cattle tlo to keep prices advancing right ulonp- .

With light receipts early In the week , hog values ruled firmer nnd up to Thursday there was nn advance of about 20e. The sensitive condition of the market Is clearly shown by the fuel that with heavy runs Friday nnd Saturday the market broke badly and this advance was moro than lost , prices today being on nn nverago fully a quarter lower than the close of last week. Trade journals generally nro abandoning the short supply theory , and look for future prices to bo governed largely by the demand and the condition of the money market. Commenting on a decrease In packing operations in the west the past week of about 85,000 hogs compared with a year : igo , and n decrease" for the season of 1,100,000 hogs , the Cincinnati Price Current says ; "The dccreaso in supply of hogs Is uuo to the break in prices last week , and to the paralyzed condition of monetary nf- falrs. The monetary Influence has not become loss serious than here tofore , but It is more than over interfering with the sale and disposition of stock. Cur rency hus been so much withdrawn from trade channels that dealers as well as manu facturers find great diniculty in prosecuting operations In the usual manner. This condi tion of affairs is a hardship to all concerned , and necessarily restricts business opera tions. "In the provision trade there has been a good shipping demand for current require- ' incuts and n fair movement of product is shown. This is presumably maintained chiefly by a few of the larger concerns who can command facilities which in tbeso tunes arc dented to the smaller packers and jobbers. At Chicago there has been some reaction from the depression last week , moro notable in lard than other pro duct. This urtlclo appears to bo In urgent demand and feels the curtailment in slaughtering operations more than other iroducts. The corn crop to a largo oxtcnt s in a critical situation ut this time , and without relief by general rains will soon reach a point of i injury beyond reparation. Ordinarily such a position of this crop , ac cepted as promising a deficiency in yield , tends to an increased marketing of hogs for the near future , but there are unusual conditions now Surrounding the position which may tnodlfv'this general rule. The .vcstern . farnicrs-In.'tho corn belt are sup- illcd with n largo Quantity of wheat , which s not marketable at a remunerative price , and they are more and moro recognizing the relative valuu of this grain for feeding stock. It undoubtedly jsafe to say that any farmer in the west who possesses or can obtain feeding stock ranv realize far inoro than current prices of tnls grain by judicious feeding operations. Wheat should nowhere n this region realize a return less than Too : > or bu. to the feodfir. " -j Heavy ltecclpt : Cnnso-Another Ilrcak. Keceiots toda'y 'woro nearly twice as heavy as on laat Saturday and following Friday's heavy- , receipts produced a very weak fcolisgAt the opening , * with fully 7,500 hogs on ' sale and a restricjed shipping and fresh m'eat'dotnftnU , price's ruled lOe to 15c lower than Friday's very weak close. Bail reports from Chicago also added their depressing influence. On the early market good to choice cllght and butcher weight hogs sold very largely at ? 4.GO to $4.70 , while packers bought the heavy and mixed bogs mostly at $4.50 and ? 4.55. The movement was slow early , but when Armour of Chicago sfcnt a big order for hogs hero" the situation changed , business became lively and the late hogs sold largely at from J4.GO to JM.7i > the early decline being about regained , and prices ruling very nearly the same as at the close Friday.

RESCUEDYA BEAU , LIUo most boys with outdoor tnstcs. tlicro wns n tlmo in my Hfu when I thought nothlnp could quite equal the tflory of IdlHnu n bear. It may bo in- toroatlng to know how t escaped the craving of this ambition without actual pnitllleiitloti. I hnd gone oil Into thu woods with a party of other 'young fol lows to spend the Inltor hnlf of the summer vacation. Wo nil carried Win chester repeating rifles , mid In addition I took two immense bcnr traps , with jaws and teeth like n shark's. It was almost na much as n , person's safety of limb was worth to sot these traps , for if they > vent oil prematurely , or the man who was adjusting the tongue lost his nerve , a leg or an arm wouldn't bo worth much a second later. And , as for ncoat tail , It would soon bo put beyond the help of u tailor. Wo camped on the shore of a moun tain lake , surrounded on nil , sides by wooded hills. There was no house within ton miles , and the whistle of , a locomotive , or ovou the rumble of a 8tagov coach , had never echoed from these solitary mountain sides. Here , if anywhcro , wo thought , bears ought to bo plentiful. Ours , was distinctively a boar-hunting party , but I was the chief enthusiast. At least , I spout moro hours of the day and night in search of the longed-for game than any of the rest. ' - Ono sultry day I had tramped six or eight miles through the woods to look at my tra | > s , and on my return to camp foil so-warny and uncomfortable that I decided toTa'ko ono of the bouts , row out into deep water and liavo a royal bath and swim. The other fellows were all up the brook , trout ( lulling , and I had the whole lake to myself. I rowed out fully a mile from shore , so as to get that grand sensation which every ad venturesome Bwimmor can appreciate of Hunting- and diving in 100 feet depth of water. Those who dally near shore know nothing about this sensation. It is like the sensation which an eugle or hawk must have , poising and wheeling , with a mile of trt.nsparont air be tween itself and thocnrtu. Great donth of water buoys a swimmer up nmkos him fed us if' ho had water wings and could circle , lloat and almost sleep on the water , as u broad-winged bird does on the air. When I got out into the deepest part of the lake , I threw over the sharp-cor nered stone wo used for an anchor , at tached to its 100 feet of stout cord , and proceeded to undress and make my first thrilling plunge. Down again I wont into tbo clear water , till its elastic re sistance , like a cushion , stopped my body and drove it toward the surface again. As I emerged , blowing the water from nostrils and mouth , I KUV that u black stonneloud was coining up over the mountain behind the camp ; but as yet the sun shone fiercely from the western .sky , and I hud no thought of giving up my delicious bath for a threatened thunder shower. I dove repeatedly , iloated , swam on the snrfnco and beneath the surface , trod water and enjoyed myself in the most lurxuious fashion. Finally I started and swum 100 yurds or so away "rom the boat , with the intention of &eo- ng how many times I should have to come to the surface in retracing my course under wutor. As I came up , after my first dive , I noticed that that fresh brcczo which precedes a storm was bo- inning to wrinkle the lake with little waves , and deemed it best to got buck to the bout us soon us possible. But I was surprised to BOO how much further away ° the boat looked than when I first started to return to it. It-txially seemed a quarter of a miio off now , but , supposing this to bo 'merely an optical illusion , I Bwum on with leisurely strokes , thinking to reach it in u few minutes. But after I had been swimming for five minutes and the boat seemed , if anything , farther away than when I , started , I begun to suspect that something was wrong and forged ahead ut the top of my speed. All this while the breeze was freshen ing , the wrinkly waves were increasing to small rollers , ami I could hear the thunder muttering and rolling over the hills behind mo. Suddenly the truth Hushed across my mind , that the stone anchor which hold my boat must have slipped from its loop and the boat wus drifting away from mo with in- ereusing spued ! It was a decidedly sturlling and disagreeable sensution to suy the loust , Out in the middle of the hike , with one of these violent mountain storms coming on , the land a mile away from mo on every side , and my boat driving oil with the wind faster than I could swim. The more I considered it , the more terribly serious the mutter looked , mid it was not long before I realized that , as probabilities go , there was only about ono chance in ten that I should get out of my adventure alive. Under favorable circumstances I could huvp swum a mile , no doubt , but not in a raging , driving storm. As BOOH as I saw thut It would bo itn-- possible for mo to overtake the drifting boat , I brought myself to an upright position and began to tread water , while I took u good look around mo. How my heart jnmpod with joy when I saw , not moro than fifty1 yards away , what looked like u short , thick , Homing log ! It was drifting ulong In the same direction as the buut , but at a much slower rnto of Bpced , and was still U ) windward of mo , so that I could easily intorcopt'it. I struck out with renewed courugo and a heart thut was lighter by a good muny mental tons than it had bcon a few minutes previously. It did not take mo long to got in line with the dark , Hunting object , but just as I was ubout to make u spurt for it , and lay hold of it something caused mo to stop as suddenly as If I liail been seized with cramiis. The dark object turned out to have a head , and thut head was a hour's head. The apparently floating log was nothing lens than a bear , letting the wind drift him across the lake , as is frequently done by these big furry follows when they have a long journey to muko by water and feel lazy. If it hud not been so torrlby serious the situation would liavo boon rldlcui IOUH in the oxtremo. At laat the en thusiastic hour hunter had corno face to fuco with his game but under what un expected and discouraging oiroiuii- Htances ! The tables had bcon turned in Hiieh a way us to leuvn littledoubt which would bo tho'gamo and which the hun ter , should the bear choose to take ad vantage of the situation. Probably few hunters have over been placed In such an embarrassing , not to say distressing , situation. 1 must cither beg u ride from the hour or go to the bottom of the lake that WUB pretty evident. The waves were rising , the btream was be ginning to sweep down the moun tain side. Still , I wus naturally delicate about asking a favor from ono for whom I had two shark's- teeth traps sot in the woods and a gun loaded with fourteen successive ounces of loud. Thuro was no tlmo to 'consider the matter , however , and. really it seomoi hotter to lw clawed , chewed or ovoi hugged to death than to bo helplessly drowned. So 1 uwum around the bear , approached his Hunk and very timidly and respectfully put out ono hund and got hold of his furry hide. There was a protesting growl on the part of bruin but ho inudo no other objection to tuk HE mo in tow , and for a few nomonts wo flouted along very sociably ogothor. Then the storm broke upon is with all its fiorcene.19. and I actually : cased to fear the boar , in the turmoil of the element ? , and drawing closer to his holterlng sides burled both hands in his eng fur and hung on for dear life. It was a perfect hurrlcnnn that burst ivor us. The wind whipped oft the brosts of the waves as if they hnd been o ninny whlto hats , the lightning lashed and darted all around Us , and .ho air was torn by crash on crash of ; nttltng thunder. It was not long be- ere the bear was ns frightened as 1 , and began to swim , dragging me along with htm. I actually believe ho win grateful for my company In that terri fying tumult of sky ami water , and I am sure I was about as tfflmktul for his as A nan could well bo. It was impossible to heo a dozen yards ahead , but the bear seemed to know by instinct where the nearest land lay. and swam steadily on , ipparently us little atTccted by the waves us a ship of . ' 100 tons burden. Oc- cnsionully I heard him snort and jlow , when the wind whipped off a ivhltecap ami tossed it squarely In his rnco ; but ho hnd ceased to growl at Ills xmipunitm in danger , though ono of my lands had sought out his stub of a tall , mid must have given it some painful wrenches as the rollers tossed mo to and fro. , - Tust'as the fury of the storm was abat ing we got Into shallower water , and ) nco in a while I could feel my feet touch bottom. I held on , however , until tho\ shore loomed up In sight through the rain , and then cast OIT trom the bear with an audible : "Thank you , old follow ! " and let him muko his way to the land first. I saw him emerge , Iripplng. from the water , climb the Iwink and disappear In the woods. For several minutes , however , I stood wait ing , wuist-deop in water , until the coast should bo safely clear. Finally I ven tured ashore and lay down to got my breath and recover from my exhaustion. As soon as I felt able to walk I started , naked , for camp , around the lower end of the lake , and reached its shelter just ns the other fellows drenched with their long walk through Lho woods , came in froiu trouting. I told them my story , but they thought I was guying them and refused to believe mo until next morning. I wont out and snapped both my bear traps and buried them in the woods. Then they know I was speaking in earnest when 1 said that I had made up my mind never tt ) kill a bear unless ho lirst tried to kill mo. lllnoil til tun llrlilli'B. In a sermon preached at Denver last Sunday , says the Now York Sun , Rev. Myron W.Rectl explained that Governor Waite's "blood to the bridles" is a scriptural expression. "It is a figure of speech , " he said , "and you can find it in the twentieth verso of the fourteenth chapter of the Book of Revelations. " That is BO ; hero is the verso referred to by Rev. Mr. Reed : And the wino press was trodden wltliout the city , and blood came out of the winepress press , oven unto the horse bridles. A little further on , in the next chap ter of Revelations , Kev , Myron W. Reed can find another figure of speech , which lie may regard as significant : Ana the BOVCU angels cnmo out of the temple , having the seven plagues , clothed in ( Mire and whlto linen , and having their breasts girded with goluon girdles. And ono of the four buasfs gvvo unto the seven angels seven gohton vials. Rev. Myron W. Reodl in pursuing 'his Apocalyptic studios , will observe that the seven angels wowf girded with gold , not silver ; and that the viala wore golden vials , not silver or bimetallic vessels. Wo leave it to the calm and dispassion ate imagination of the reverend gentle man to put any interpretation ho pleases upon the passage. FASHION JOll .W7J.Y. The cost of the Celts this season Is away up compared to last year. The narrow hnits In line leather arc imported and range from $2 to 85. The black satin cravnt worn with nogliijco shirt ami the outing suit of blue stripe gives just that quolliug touch that the students of the fashions are wont to welcome. 'Iho link cuff is nlmoat Indispensable in warm weather. It is kept away by its amplcncss from the wrist , and thus lasts us long as the negligee or white shirt in the wcurlngs. The French craze over F-oto Fuller has reached the realm of neckwear , and there I are rare specimens In a delineation of the chancing lights that follow the blytho American in her surpassing ilimee. The tiablo scarfs of high ueijrco are made with ample bands and no lining , the weight of the rich , costly fabric sufllclug to aehiovo the most artistic knottings under the manipulation of the expert ilk of swelldom. Pigskin Is the leather used in those high priced narrow waist belts. ID is an Innova tion in the line of fashionable- belongings , in this form , and lias proven the most salable belt ot the small widths. It is tanned In a shade of light tan. The knots in some of the richer scarfs arc somewhat larger , as the size of the fljrurlngs require this modification for proper exposi tion. The ample flowing euds in both the self-tied and made-ups are the premier scarllngs of their class. The freak element has disappeared from the category of the turndown collar , both In the separable collars and those attached to the negligee shirt. There wore a number of very long pointed , and very high in the back , examples last year now happily done away with. The fancy waistcoat , for the dressy elTeot It lends to the summer Bulling , Is worn with the natty town-wear summer suit and on the hotel piazzas at the fnshlonuhlo summer resorts , and ut the race course. The double-breasted wutsti'onts are most effective with thoslnele- breasteU sacks that iiro worn open , with a deep roll of the lapel. 5 tftnvsrni.tf. yloKlt hnlf our oil o ArtlnVliU Ivory U innito from cotv.loniod skim nillk. _ Thu irnltoil State * aereacd In grain l tS greater than the cntlro urea of the German * ' umpire.

An ambitions canal project Is on foot In California. 'I lie scheme Is to construct a monster ship canal , the cost of which Is estimated at $10,000,000. The main canal from Sulsuti bay to Tularo lake will bo 175 miles long ; from the lake it will extend to HaKersllold , Kern county , a total distance from its mouth of ii-JO miles ; and from this point branches will run to many Important towns. The waste water from Its great locks , after having been used for driving electric motors and eruatiuir power , will bo distributed for irrigation. The latest use for aluminum Is for street car tickets , and it must bo conceded that thu metal is singularly adapted for the purpose.

For the last eight years natural gas has been extravagantly and foolishly wasted. For a period of nearly one year there was a daily waste In the state ot Indiana alone ot more than 100,000.000 cubic foot.

It Is estimated that IMI.OOO cubic foot of gas la the Indiana Hold is equal to a ton of the best coal in stoves or furnaces. Coal de livered in the Indiana gas Holds is worth Ml.-5 per ton. It is not an extravagant state ment to assert that the 'cash value of nat ural gas wasted in Indiana since its dis covery would bo more than $20,000,000 nn. amount greater by far than the total capital invested in these fields on account of cheap fuel. fuel.An An unusual method of making wheels for cars has been recently brought before rail way men. Wherever it Is desired to have reliable wheels , steel tires are almost uni versally used , with paper , wrought or cast Iron centers. Cast Iron centers are the cheapest form of any as regards first cost , but It is rathcrillftluult to forma good connec tion between the tire and the cur.tor. In the new method of manufacture a stock of tires is made up complete. The molds for the center of the wheel are then cut up , leaving a space for placing the tlrit in the mold so ns to form a part of It. The mold is next opened and the tire , heated to a red heat , Is placed In position. The mold is then closed and the molten metal for the center Imme diately poured in. The result Is said to bo a practically perfect unjou , forming u solid wheel which has the advantage of a durable steel rim und a cheap body. A rather unusual method of putting in foundations was adopted last winter In Brooklyn. N. Y. , in the construction of a largo power house. The station Is being erected quite close to the Wallahout canal , on a location so wet that a coffer-dam had to bo built around it. Piles were driven to so- euro u good foundation , and cut off at the proper height. Then a number of cells ot stcampipo were lowered Into the water within the inclosuro so that it could bu kept from freezing by forcing steam through thorn. Thi ) stone , sand and cement forming the concrete were heated befuro mixing ami poured down a funnel , technically known ns a tremlo. before they cooled. This funnel delivered the concrete directly on the spot where it was to bo used , the colTer-dam pre vented any currents in the water which would have n tendency to wash away the cement , and the steam ! n the steam cells prevented the water from becoming too cold.
