CHICAGO GRAIN - AND PROVISIONS,
Corn Prices Swing Downward TJnder Influ
ence of Fine TVeather and Peace ttoealp.
Chicago, May 4. Corn prices took a
downward awing today. Influenced mainly
by fine weather and by peace gosalp. The
market closed weak, HO Tie net lower, with
May 11.27 and July $1.48 W 1.48 H. Oats
lost ilc net. In provision:, there were
gains of 16jeo. . -Official
announcement that temperatures
would remain above normal until at least
Monday gave the bears in corn an advan
tage from the start. Moreover, hopes of
export bualneiH had flattened out. and
fresh evidence was at hand that liberal
supplies still remained In first hands and
In country elovatora. Besides, favorable
conditions for plowing and seeding were
expected to keep primary receipts wall In
excess of isst year's figures, e Notice that
the railroad movement of export grain
would be given preference over domestio
shipments had only a transient affect, be
ing offset mo'e or less by word of con
tinued efforts' to open negotiations for
peace. ' " '
Absence of an Important export demand
and ths slowness of domestio call weak
ened oats. Excellent crop reports tended
further to make prices descend.
Provisions rose wlth hots. Packers sold
on ths bulge, and caused a little reaction.
Arrival ot 160,000 hogs here next week was
predicted as compared with 138,000 a
year ago. - . .

;Eecrnits Who Can Handle Shot

and Are Valuable to
Army. ,
At the close of the Boer war Lord
Roberts was greatly impressed with
the fact that a handful of untrained
and undisciplined Boers, on account
of their wonderful marksmanship, had
been able lo withstand a greatly
superior number of British troops.
The British were drilled to do
everything but shoot straight; they
knew all about marching and the
manual of arms. .
Lord Roberts laid:
"Shooting is seven-tenths of a sol
dier's business," and ordered that the
soldiers be taught to shoot straight

ments.
Lord Kitchener, when organizing
the first levy of volunteers that Eng
land sent to - the front,, issued this
order: , .
"Never mind how they drill or
whether they know their right foot
from their left; teach them to shoot
and do it quickly." ,
Now, teaching a man to shoot is a
long job and no man can learn to
shoot in a day, or a week, or a month,
either with a shoteun or rifle. The
man who is familiar with a shotgun
soon becomes a good shot wth a
rifle. He knows how to judge the
shorter distance, knows how to avoid
the recoil, and has a general idea of
the mechanism of firearms.
Because trapshooting teaches all
of these things and because it gets
a man out in the open where he will
meet other fellows in keen' but friend
ly competition, it has been well styled
.the patriotic sport," and when the
history of the present war is recorded,
the marksmanship of America will
be given due credit, and in that credit
trapshooting will have a large share.

New Tork, .May 4. The culmination of
the Liberty loan drive was marked by dull
and Irregular dealings during the two .hours
of today's stock market Trading lacked
especial features, aside from moderate ac
tivity in a few speculative issues.
Investment stocks fluctuated for the most
part within fractional limits, United States
Steel, for example, varying only balf a
point and closing at a alight losa.
Ralls wers utterly neglected until toward
the finish, when moderate, pressure caused
nominal reactions. jSt. '. Paul preferred
recorded an extreme loss of 2 points.
Aside from United States Steel, 'a large
part of the day's operations, centered In
Marine 'preferred, Distillers' . Securities,
Willy's Overland, Sumatra Tobacco and To
bacco Products, these i Issues scoring net
gains ranging from fractions to 1 points.
Mexican Petroleum, General Motors, Atlan
tic, Oulf and International Paper averaged
1 point reactions on light offerings.
Liberty Issues sgain contributed over
whelmingly to the trade In bonds. Total

Joshua Lott sometimes lives up to hts
name, but there is a conductor on the
Prospect line who should be named Josh
Moore. Notwithstanding the conductor's
urging to "step up in front," Lott clings
to a place on the rear platform when he
can In order to be able to squeeze oft at
McGee street with Insult and Injury to
fewer other passengers. This morning Lott
was brightening up the corner where he
was with some remarks about the service
when ths conductor horned right In.
"Say," he said, "I've often looked at
you and wondered why you didn't enlist
But I know now.''
"How's thatT" asked Lott, helpfully.
"Because you're so all-fired scared of
getting up to the front," said the con
ductor. Just then the tO-passenger car stopped
at a transfer point to Jet about 80 more

struggling toward the front to make room
for them. Kansas City Star.
Ever See a Fish Yawn?
Did you ever see a fish yawn? Rich
ard Elmhlrst, an English biologist, tells
us that yawning Is a common habit of
cod, salthe, cobbler, plaice, and various
other kinds of fish. From his description,
the piscatorial yawn is very much like the
human yawn, except that it la done under
water. He says: "From numerous observa
tions I am led to think that this action of
fishes is a real yawn and serves the true,
phystotsglcal purpose of a yawn; that Is
flushing the brain with blood during periods
of sluggishness. The conditions conducive
to yawning are a slight increase In tem
perature, and, I suppose, the accompanying
diminution ot oxygen." Popular Science

BRITISH DEFEAT ' '
TDRKSJN JORDAN
Tommies Force Passage Across
Historic River at Spot
"Where Christ YTas
Baptized.
With the British Army in Palestine,
May 1. It was at Mahadethadjlah
where the baptism of Christ is said
to have taken place, that the British
army forced a passage of theRivei
Jordan after.a brisk engagement with'
the Turks and a small body of Ger-,
maris on the night of March 21. . , '
The crossing was attempted at thret
spots. The average breadth of tht
Jordan is 30 yards ind evert in, the
driest season the water fords are never
less than three and a half to four feet
deep. Both banks re lined with a
thick jungle,. called by the Arabs,
"Ezzor," which is the haunt of wild
boar. It is traversed by few trackl
leading to the fords. vt.
,At two of the fords even men on
horseback were unable to breast' the
strong current, while rafts and pon
toons were swept away. The Turks,
alive to the fact that the ' crossing
was being attempted, set fire to somt
dry scrub on their side of the bank,
which lit up the waters almost with
brightness of daylight, revealing with
cruel distinctness our men venturing
from cover in the thickets at Mahade
thadjl&h. - There the river has t
straighter run and the current i con
sequently less swift. Seven volun
teers succeeded in swimming to the
other bank with a rope, by means of
which a pontoon was- pulled over,
serving as a ferry for a sufficient force.
Rush Turkish Posts.
The British established- a strong
bridgehead before dawn. The Turks
were not very numerous, but were
plentifully . supplied ' with machine
guns, while the ground lent itself for
defense. Beyond the belt of scrub,
through which jt was necessary to
cut one's way, was a bare open space .
about 500 yards wide and then a seriei
of ledges where the Turks were es
tablished in trenches with a perfect
field for fire in front of them. While
daylight lasted it was impossible to
cross this lane. After dusk the Brit
ish rushed the Turkish positions. A
steel pontoon bridge was constructed
which was crossed'most gallantly un
der shell fire by cavalry which prompt
ly made an end to the Turkish re
sistance, galloping down the machine
gunners and capturing three Maximi
and 70 prisoners.
Wheeling to the left the troops se
cured the opposite bank of the Ghor
aniyeh ford and soon the infantry was
pouring across, followed close on the
heels of the Turks, who made an
other stand at Shunetnimrin, across
the old caravan ro4 leading to lEs
Salt. , " v
There the troops were among the
foothills of the mountains of Gilead,
which rise a thousand feet from the
Jordan plain. It was a short struggle
and the position was rushed, 35 pris
oners, all German, falling into British
hands. Then the troops raced toward
Es Salt which was entered early in
the morning.. ',
Shut Out ths Bain. '
An automatic device which takes cars
of the windows of a house jr apartment,
and closes them when It begins to rain, has
been perfected by L. M. Phelps ot Phila
delphia. It is quite automatlo.and Its sctlon
is said to be positive. In his device a
loop lever, connected with a stationary rod
attached as a permanent fixture to the
lower corner of the upper window saah, la
held In position by a narrow atrip ot blot
ting paper.
So long as the paper Is dry it Is rigid
enough to hold the delicately adjusted lever,
but a singledroo of rain will so soften ths
paper that it allows the loop of the lever
to fall and thus to release the pressure ol
the lever against the lower sash. Since ths
sash Is weighted with a bag ot sand ! of
small shot, It will drop and close ths wln
dow against the' rain.
In addition to acting In case of rain ft
can be mads to work at a predetermine
time by alarm clock. Popular Science
