China and Mexico are not alone in exhibits of the evil of fluctuating cur- rency, for Manila itself offers a strik- ing refutation of the theory of per- petuating the silver basis there. An American business man who has just returned from that city gives an illus- tration of the way the thing works. American dollars are worth at pres- ent in trade $2.40, but if one wishes to buy American currency with Mexi- can, he must pay the bank $2.45 or $2.50. Besides this the commission which represents the United States has determined that the price of Amer- can money should be $2.27 in Mexican. The commission changes its valuation from time to time, but it cannot change as often as the price of silver changes. An American merchant in Manila sells a bill of goods for $1,000 American. When the goods are delivered the buyer pays $2,270, because that is the official circulation of $1.000 in gold. But when the merchant tries to turn his $2,270 baci into United States money the banks charge him $2.40 Mexican per American dollar, or more, and the merchants lose $130 or over on this transaction in exchange.

How to Lasso. Frank Chamberlain, the ‘champion lassoer of America,” has arrived at Chicago from the plains. He has given an exhibition of his skill with the la- riat and described the art of throwing it in the Chicago Inter-Ocean. * “A mistaken impression prevails in the mind of the public in regard to the manner in which a lasso is handled,” Made Upon an Old Principle. Great things have been happening in the steamn engine world lately. Just at the beginning of our new century, when it seemed as if electricity was about to do away with steam forever, a discovery has been made that prom- ises to give electricity itself a setback in turn. re-finding of an old mechanical princi- ple. As long ago as 120 B. C. a Greek named Hero made a steam toy known as the aeoipile, a globe turned by jets of steam which issued from it and were directed against the ground. In the year 1629 a man named Branca made another toy in which a wheel was turned by a jet of steam directed BRANCA’S STEAM ENGINE. against paddles in its rim after the principle of a water wheel. This mode of using steam to turn wheels was somewhat lost sight of when the cy- linder type of engine proved so suc- cessful, but within the last few years it has again received attention from inventors under the name of ‘‘the tur- bine principle.” . It is found that a wheel fitted with hundreds of little paddles and incloscd in a cylinder can be driven at higher speed with less steam than any other form of engine. A British torpedo boat destroyer has been made to cover nearly thirty-three knots an hour un- der its power, and the rapidly revolv- ing turbine makes it possible to aim guns at this speed, for the thumping of the ald cylinder engine is done away with. At a retent meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers great attention was given 3 THROWING A LARIAT. says this expert. ‘The idea that the loop is always swung around the head before making a cast, especially when the roper is on foot, is erroneous. No man of experience ever makes a cast in this fashion from the ground, in practical work. There are several rea- sons why he does not. One of them is that the movement is likely to frighten the stock, especially horses; another that he may have to wait some min- utes before a favorable opportunity occurs for making a cast. He knows that better results are obtained by holding the rope as unobtrusively as possible, even keeping it concealed from the object of capture. “On the contrary, however, when mounted and in pursuit, it is absolute- ly necessary to swing the loop over and around the head, for the cast must be made with the greatest pos- sible force, in order to overcome not only the forward inovement of the pursued, but also the action of the wind, should that chance be against you. “As to the manner of casting, some ‘ropers’ cast with a quick, jerky move- ment of the hand, seeming to use the arm very little and the body not at all. Others employ body, arm and hand. Both methods are effective when per- fected by practice. “Branding on the unfenced range is a task that never ends. There are constantly being discovered animals that have been missed at the regular round-up, and these, wherever found, are immediately roped, thrown and ‘burned.’ At every turn and in every need of his rope. It is brought into play in catching fresh mounts for the men, for no horse is kept under saddle more than a few heurs at a time. If, as not infrequently happens, a steer strays into a quicksand, or mires in a bog, the lasso is thrown about his horns and he is speedily extricated. “When the mess wagon needs a lift up a hill or assistance in crossing miry bottom land, the man with the rope is at hand to render aid. Wood must be brought for the camp fire. The cow- boy attaches one end of his lariat to the log of his desire, securing it by any number of ‘throws’ or ‘hitches,’ takes a snub on his saddiehorn, and the well-trained, willing pony does the . rest.” phase of his work the cowboy has | to the turbine, according to the Scien: tific American. Papers were read showing that turbines were success- fully running machinery at high speed with less steam, coal and water, that they occupied less space, gave morepower, cost less, weighed less and needed fewer repairs than any other steam engine known, and that they promise to develop into the ideal en. gine—or, as engineers call it, “the thermodynamic machine that is ap: proximated in a motor in which adia- batic expansion is secured and friction and heat waste made sources of com: paratively small loss.” Triek With a Pair of Scissors.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Notwithstanding the dis arranged money market, almost a fuel famine and some damage to crops, in dustrial and commercial activity con: tinues unabated and the magnitude of plans for the future indicates that confidence has not been shaken. Scarcity of funds has thus far caused no hardship except to speculators, and the stringency will remedy itself by contracting loans on stock exchange collateral, together with such aid as may be offered by the treasury, which is partly responsible through absorp tion of funds. Injury to crops by frost bas no more than offset the increased acreage, while high prices fully com: pensate producers. Railway earnings for September thus far exceed last year’s by 6.8 per cent, and those of 1900 by 16.5 per cent. Pressure in the iron and steel industry has been some- what alleviated by larger receipts of coke and liberal imports of pig iron No fuel famine exists, although the furnaces are consuming receipts of coke as they arrive, and it is impos sible to provide for more than im: mediate needs. Some idle plants have resumed and .now operate from day to day with the constant menace of an interrupted movement of fuel, which would suspend operations. At the west this factor is most serious, coke com- manding $10 a ton or more, while in exceptional cases $13 has been paid Foreign iron is freely received and other consignments are under consider: ation. More steel rail orders have been placed abroad. Needs for struc- tural shapes are increasing, much work being held back by slow ship- ments, and orders are reported for delivery nearly two years hence. A further slight advance in foot: wear quotations indicates that the healthy demand has made it possible for manufacturers to secure compen sation for the recent sharp rise in ma: terials. Country hides show the prin cipal declines of the week. Although cotton goods are firmly held, the mar ket is quiet, as buyers are content ta take only such guantities as are need ed for immediate distribution. It is too early for supplementary orders in men’s woolens and worsteds,. yet there is some extension of original purchases and the tone of all staple lines is firm. No concessions are possible in the wool market, which has increased in activ- ity at the east. The decline in meats has received a check and sugar is firmly held, with refiners behind in delivery. Failures for the week num: bered 207 in the United States, against 227 last year, and 32 in Canada, against 34 a year ago. Bradstreet’'s says: Wheat, includ- ing flour, exports for the week end- ing September 25, aggregate 5,077,070 bushels, against 5,435,323 bushels last week, 6,470,352 bushels last year and 4.242.810 bushels in 1800. Ancient Water Cure. A correspondent calls attention to the fact that the “water cure” was employed by the Dutch nearly three centuries ago. In Martin's history of the Indian Empire an account is given of the struggles of the European pow- ers to secure the rich trade with the East Indies. In 1623 the Dutch seized the Japanese at Amboyna and subject- ed them to torture to make them con- fess to a conspiracy. “Each victim was placed on the rack and compelled to inhale water at every attempt to draw breath until his body became in- flated, and he swooned, was recovered and the same horrible process re- peated.” Instead of issuing passes to persons leaving a theater during the perform- ance the Japanese mark the departing spectator on the hand with an india rubber stamp, the mark varying each evening in form and color.
