They tell a story down on Wall street connecting Charles T. Yerkes. the Chicago street car magnate, in a curiously indirect, yet vital, way with the explosionof the Moore Broth- ers’ speculative bubble in Diamond Match and N. Y. Biscuit. It is to this effect. When the financial stringency began to be seriously felt, the Chicago banks concluded to call in loans from Mr. Yerkes, who had a large sum. said to be about $3,000,000, borrowed from them. They did not doubt his solvency, but could not help thinkingr of the $7,000,000 cash he had recently invested in his “L” road projects. the $2,000,000 he had put into a palace on Fifth avenue, and the $1,000,000 addi- tional in telescopes, paintings and other afiairs, His surface road prop- erty had declined, and the banks de- cided to reduce their risks in that quarter. Imagine their surprise when Mr. Yerkes not only objected to reducing his loan, but asked for $2,000,00u more. “I have no immediate need for tho money, and may have no use for it." he said, “but a man should make himself strong in cash in times like these.” When the bankers inquired what collateral he had to offer, he produced $8,000,000 4 per cent government bonds, worth $9,000,000, and told his financial friends to put the bundle in at 50 as security for his new loan, and further fortification of his old loans. Mr. Yerkes is today the larg- est individual holder of government bonds in the world, it is said. In the conversations which led up to the bond demonstration, Mr. Yerkes casually mentioned that as banks were drawing in their money, he guessed he would call on the Moore Brothers for $6,000,000 he had let them have on Diamond Match at 120. This was a transaction the banks did not know about, nor of the $500,000 which he said he had heard they had borrowed from Columbus R. Cum- mings and another $500,000 from Sid- ney A. Kent. - These disclosures made the banks close down on the Moores' sharply. When Mr. Yerkes’ lines crossed the lines of the Moores the latter suffered. Before his departure for Europe Mr. Yerkes was thinking of establishing a great trust company in New York, and making himself the head of it. The .Vanderbilts, Astors, Morgans, .Vermilyes, Goulds and all the gilt- edged millionaires wanted some of it, but Mr. Yerkes finally decided to drop the matter until after the election.— New York Post.

MARVELOUS EXPERIMENTS: WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHIC LENS. The Humming of 3 Bullet and Arrow Headed “’aves in the Atmosphere Pro- duce Sound Photographs that Are Regu- lar and Systematic. ‘ ~ If the human eye goes on increasing in usefulness as it has been doing of late‘ it is not at all improbable that eyesight will usurp the fpnctions of hearing. In the past a sound has been heard only. Marvelous to relate, it has been found possible to see a sound and to photograph it in its course. This discovery, following other remarkable discoveries, has set the scientific world to thinking what new problems are left for men to solve. This latest sensation in science, ac- cording to the Vaughn and Cornish M. 80., shows, that if a photographic lens be turned on a bullet in its flight through the air, the photographic plate shows that a. dark line of com- pressed air can be seen in front of .the ball. In the path of a. bullet on which a lens was turned, in the course of a series of exhaustive experiments just made public, the hole cut in the air by the projectile could 'be dis- tinctly seen closing up as the atmos- pheric waves subsided and the sepa- rated air came together again. ing necessary to bring some sort of light to bear upon the bullet in its flight, an electric spark was formed by an ingenious method, and by send- ing the bullet past two wires that completed an electric current a pho- tograph was obtained by the light of the spark thus created. . This showed an interesting state of things. Besides the dark line formed by the piled up atmosphere in front of the bullet and the smokelike air waves in the rear, there appeared on the plate an arrow headed wave that was caused by the hum of the bullet. The hum broke the atmosphere into arrow headed sections that could be distinctly seen on the plate. A comparison with the time when the sound was heard with the time when the sound could be seen on the photographic plate proves that the soldier who “ducks” when he hears the whiz of a bullet is wasting en- ergy, for the bullet has passed when the sound is heard“ Experiments with bullets of greater velocity showed that the arrow headed waves were always of the same shape, but with an increase of impact they became sharper at the point. The difference between waves of the sea and sound waves, as shown by these interesting experiments, is that there is no noisy moving back- ward and forward and tossing tu- multuously as with water. The air particles burst asunder by the impact of the projectile scatter into the at mosphere, thus producing a greater density. This action goes on contin. ually in front of the bullet and on either side. The'air wave transmits its energy to the neighboring layer of air, which, being thus compressed, becomes in its turn the wave front. The air waves, now that man can see them by the aid of a photographic lens, are shown to be regular and sys- tematic in their habits. When dis- tributed by the flight of the bullet they scatter in arrow headed waves until the disturbing element has passed on, when the layers of air re- coil in their former position. The mo- tion of the air particles was found to be wholly forward and back to rest along the same path. At Midnight. . The pedestrian kept on with dogged determination, a hunted look on his haggard face. Since midnight he had walked, walked until footsore, his tired limbs scarce able to carry him further and his arms aching under the heavy burden, its weight seeming- ly increased tenfold even during the last hour. And then that piercing cry in the stillness of the night, that shriek as of one in dire pain, and another and another! For one moment he paused, then, hatless and coatless, he pressed on, still on, a tiny, flicker- ing light his only beacon and his goal, far, so far off it seemed. Oh, when would he reach it? Again that ghastly wail, its wavering notes chilling his blood and striking into his heart' a dread. But hark! What was that? A woman’s voice! It broke through the gloom, at first feebly, then de- spairingly. “It’s no use, John. Give the baby nine drops of paregoric, and see if that won’t stop him!” He Knew His Mother.
