Xew Y.ork, Jan. 26.—(Wa1l Street) —Changes at the opening o£ to-day's stock market suggested no definite trend, gains and losses being somewhat conflicting. Tor instance, United States Steel Common, whose directors act on the dividend to-day, showed no change while the preferred stock was fraction ally lower. Several specialties and ob scure stocks rose smartly, including American Sugar and Beet Sugar, which gained 1 1-2 and 1 1-4 points. By the end of the half hour the entire list was higher Respite the heaviness in our stocks in London. Stocks continued to fluctuate during the early session but invariably the price level was above yesterday's close, fciteel made a fractional gain on deal ings and the consensus of opinion was that the present rate of the dividend would be maintained.

'' At the end of hos remarks, iu reply to a question as to who obtained tho reduction in the war tax on mot.inn pic ture houses, Mr. Poarcc said that solely through the influence of the National" League and the earnest work of t | b'xecutive Board, was the tax graded in t pro-portion to the number of seats in the theatres. The relief from (he initirl bur "Vn, which levied a straight tax of SIOO, has been appreciated by exhibi tors and before the close of the morn ing session a rising vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Pearee and his fellosv workers on the Executive Board for their success in reducing the-tax.

DRAGON FLIES AT SEA The Puzzle That Came With Them and a Squall Later on In describing a voyage from Hong kong to Shanghai some years Ad miral Fitzgerald relates in his " book, "Memories of the Sea," a peculiar ex ptriencC: "One afternoon when we were lying at anchor out of sitfht of land, the; weather being very dose and sultry, we saw a great cloud approaching the ship from the direction of the shore, which w«« about fifty miles off. The i cloud came slowly nearer and nearer. It did not look like rain, and presently, as it enveloped the ship, we found it was composed of dragon flies-, and vcrj ' big ones. The.* evidently made for the ihip to get a renting place, bu* many : missed and foil exhausted in the calm sen. 1 "The maris, the yard*, lb. rigging and all the ropes ill tbo ship were in-, crusted with thein. It wa.s a verv, sultry evening, and about <» o'clock wo! all bathed. I remember the strange; experience ot diving into a sea of drasjon flies, which stuck to our arms i and shoulders, got into our hair ami j quite spoiled our swim. A light air I then came off front the land, so we ! weighed anelwr and made tail to the, southward, and at midnight, just at the watch was changing, we were! struck by a terriflie squall, which laid! the old snip nearly on her beam ends. "We wondered whether the visit*-j tion of dTagon flies was connected in j any way with the squall. But if they ; were blown fifty miles, off the land, where they certainly did not want to! go, why dfid we not get. the wind for j six hours afterwardt" IT PAYS TO USE STAR INDEPENDENT WANT ADS. 11 KIELCE NOW OCCUPIED BY THE GERMANS C'onflniinl From first I'agr.
