"MULTIPLIERS Are [Rockefeller, St. Louis New York, Feb. 20.-Ooo thousand million dollars ie the estimate of the fortune of John P. Rockefeller, and this vest sum is multiplying so rapid ly that even Marshall Field, of Chi cago, himself perhaps the fourth rich est mau in the United S Utes, and whose fortune amounts io about a quarter of a billion dollars, remarked not long sinoe that it was useless to talk of getting rioh because Rockefel ler and a few others "have all tue money in the world." Mr, IVield'e remark calla attention to the-rapidity with which the Rouke fcllcr millions are accumulating. John D. Rockefeller today is a bil lionaire-the only one. His wealth increases so fast that he has difhoulty in reinvesting it. Like tho whirlpool at Niagara, it cornea in a continuous downpour-a Niagara of gold-but in stead of seeking its own outlet, the billionaire's time is oooupied in find ing channels in whioh it may bo em ployed. Entire railway systems, or enough to secure a dominating voioe in their management, have been purchased in an endeavor to keep these funds in circulation. Rockefeller is now a power in nearly every railroad in this country, including the Chicago, Mil waukee and'St. Paul; Delaware, Lack awanna and Western; New York Cen tral; Pennsylvania; Union Paoifio; Northern Securities Company; Mis souri Paoifio; Wabash and Missouri; Kansas and Texas. He is said to be the dominant ino tor in the last three named; although the Goulds control the management of the Missouri Paoi fioand Wabash. In Colorado Fuel, and Iron, in whioh he invested heavily quite re cently, his will is absolute; in United States Steellhis will is law; in Amal gamatedgCopper he is dictator, and in Standard Oil, the parent of all trusts, whioh is the pride of his heart-he is at least a two-fifths owner.. Mr. Rockefeller receives in divi dends from the Standard Oil not less than $20,000,000 annually. He also controls the National City Bank of New York, the largest banking insti tution in the United States, and is a stockholder in<|banks throughout the country. As to his income from all souroei, some students phtoe it at $50,000,000, hut this is conservative. (The interest on a billion dollars at 5 per cent would amount to thia much. It has been established pretty definitely that his fortune even exoeeds this enor mous amount; any one who knows the Rockefeller methods of doing business knows also, that he would not be satis fied with a beggarly 5 per cent, par ticularly when Standard Oil pays very nearly 50 per cent on hie investment. Bnt even admitting that 5 per cent is all that he receives, this, without compounding, in ten years would earn for itself $500,000,000. These figur?s may appall, but even they do not toll the (tory. Mr. Rockefeller is the most capable money-maker the world has ever known. When other men make rea sonable profita, ho sees opportunities and seises i them, to make oolossal . profits. There !s uo doubt that Ina gain in wealth during the last five years his outrun any preceding ex perience in the history of the world, and whore it will stop is an i n ter cot ing speculation for other than finan cial reasoas.. The Rockefeller millions are not in the esme class with other', fortunes. Whenever the Rockefeller "interesta" see a chanoe to make a eoiontifio in vestment-to add $10,000,000or $100, 000,000 to their power it is tskeu ad-, vantago of. The other great "inter ests' ' therefore, stand in fear. r The As tors have shown generation after generation, ? wonderful conserv ing faculty. They have real estate, which increases and is stable.- But it has never increased at tho Standard Oil-pace. Great as the cDinbined for tune of the Astor family is, it can never, under sueh management, reach' a thousand million dollars. 8o, too, with the Vanderbilts. The fortunes of these men are like littlo men's fortunes grown big--that ia all. There is no great science (only pru dence): shown in their management. No.great inanoial genius multiplies them. * * ir Mri Carnegie, with his $300, ?06,_ V er so, he does not concern himself to doubl? or quadruple it.

Republic. cse controlling mind ceases-all ex- ! eept the Rockefeller fortune. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has been j in traiuiug for years to relieve his , father of the burden when tho Ameri can billionaire decides the proper time has arrived. To him will be left in tact tho Rockefeller hoard, and hav ing the greatest rcspeot and admiration for his father, he will be guided by his instructions. In the discussion of the unparallel ed power that Mr. Rockefeller holds, as shown by recent financial events, it ought to be said that no fear has been expressed that this power will be used to the disadvantage of the public. That it may be used to thwart the schemes of other rioh men and great promoters-this may bo taken for granted. It has been used for this purpose on more than one occasion already, and it will continuo to be as long as Rockefeller or his son live. The continued slump in prioes on the Stock Exohaoge during the past eighteen months has suggested the question, "li a G the Rookef oller for tune been impaired by this depres sion?" The answer io that ino toad of diminishing, the Rockefeller muions have really been increased. During suoh times SB these, the great aggregation of cn a h that the name of Rockefeller stands for can be so used in the stock market as to make hundreds of millions. The beet of the dividend-paying stocks are bought at a sacrifice i\nd hel<* until nominal conditions prevail, when they are unloaded on the publio, who were obliged to part with ?onie of their holdings to protect deourities bought on margins which had beoome exhaus ted, and those who, through fear that a panic was imminent, sold for what ever their stocks might fetoh, rather than lose all. Thia is selfish, but it is the ethics which obtains in the house of Rocke feller and is a purely cold-blooded busi ness proposition, devoid of all senti ment. Rockefeller has tho cash and the of?ui? ci ii u. Le uses boin as no man ever born ha* doue. While John JD. Rockefeller is rare ly seep in New York, his name is known to the end of the earth because of his vast treasure. In contrast to Mr. Roukefeller is Marshall Field, of Chicago. While despising all kinds of notoriety, Mr. Field ?fi very democratic and affable with the older club man of Chicago. Young men he watohes, but studious ly avoids inviting intimaoy, Of all things imaginable, Mr. Field loathes the interviewer and the man who tries to figure out the extent of bia riches. There are scores of men whose names are familiar to the general pub lio who pasta or pose SB leaders-in com merce or finance, who are pygmies compared with Marshaii Field-mon aroh of trade. Some of tho mon, who aro and for years have been nothing but his,paid ?nd retained subordi nates, popularly are awarded high places in the world of affairs by those who never heard of Marshall Field. His enormous dry goods house in Chic ?go i9 but a small part of the Field fortune. As a dry goods mer chant, Mr. Field does a business in excess of $60,000.000 a year. He is not only a merchant of dry gooda; ho is the greatest manufacturer of dry goods in the world. In every country OR the face of the globe, where cotton, woolen and silken goods are manufactured in quantities, he has factories. ' He owns. scores of enormous plants in England, Ireland, Sootland, Franco, Spain, Italy Ger many, Austria and Russia. .Even the Orient is not neglected. ' Plod ding Chinese and skilled Japanese are numbered by the thousand on the pay roll of the Chicago merchant pr i nco and manufacturer and on the other side of the Equator aro vast .wooton mills jn Australia, tho ohain extending to f?outh America, where looms in Brazil and adjoining Re publics tura ont . tho finished pro duct. Nor IB dry goods his oniv vocation. No entcrprise is better known in the Uuitcd States; England and Europe than tho Pullman Sleeping Oar Com pany. In ibo popular mind, George Iii. Pullman has ever been deemed j the dominant factor in that vast and profitable enterprise. When Mr., Pullman was alive, nina persons out ^^i^rWpoi|:i'.:ii?y? ' Lamed:' him as? mau of greater wealth and influence v..ou i.iaiDuun i'iw?, jt?at moy wouiu have been in error. Marshall Field Was and is the graatest pingle owner of Pullman stock.

In the Calumet. t?mp? ta'nnfe?turing ffe?? of li ID the vicinity of tue University of j Chicago buildingt} ho owns minaro biock after square block of valuable land and in tho business district bo owns a score of the best sites. As to his holdings of railroad seour I Utes, no one ??n teil how heavy his investments are. It is known that he owns $10,000,000 in Baltimore and Ohio stock. He is ono of the largest holders in St. Paul, in Northwestern and tho various other first-class pro perties. He is a director in numerous banks and finanoial institutions and, prior to its absorption by the United States Stool Corporation, in which he is heavily interested, Mr. Field was one of the biggest stock owners in tho Federa) Steel Company. Mr. Field has been conspicuous as a business mar for more than a gen eration. He waB born in Conway, Mass., August 18, 1835, and when 17 years old, tiring of the farm, went West. Locating in Chicago, he ob tained a clcikship in tho wholesale house of Cooley, Farwell & Co., hit equipment being health, brain?, eounc principles and ambition. In foui years ho was mado a partner in th? firm-1860. Tho var came and th< advance in prices meant a small for tuno for the young men who consti tuted this dry goods firm.

In 1881 Mr. Leiter sold his inter?s to Mr. Field for an unknown numbe of mi liions. Mr. Palmer retired i: 1867 and since 1881 Mr. Field ha oonduoted the mammoth house alone Ne iv York boasts of its billionairee Chicago of her D?mocratie multimi lionaire, but Montana exults in ha\ one of her representatives in-thc hig branch of Cong.COD, a man whoe wealth is of Monte Cristo proportiot -Senator William A. Clark. Tb Montana Senator is said to be in r< oeipt of at least $15,000,000 annual!: but this amount might be readil doubled or trebled should he ohoose I work all his mining properties. Senator Clark went to Montana i the early sixties on an ox team, wit just about money enough to buy hit self a ready-made suit of clothes. T day the same man is among the rici est in the world. The story of h vast fortune res tu upon no extravaga: fancy. It is part of the Supren Court records of New York. It was always known that Senat Clark wes enormonaly rieh-, but-, um tho revelations made by George '. Treadwell in his action against tl United Verde Company, no one ii agined that Clark was the Croes that he is. Treadwell showed, tbroui W. G. Allaire, formerly a confide tial olerk for Clark, that the Ver holdings, whioh consist of gold, eily and copper mines in Arizona, h $100,000,000 of ore in sight, with s ditional workings in?'course of si vey, showing values beyond all -co putation. It is net in wealth alone, howev that Olark's power consists, althou that, bf ooprBe, has always been t controlling influence in his a ff ai He is the master of the destinies the greater part of the population Montana, and he reached the appan goal of his ambition when he sueco edin having himself elected to ? United States Senate. . A soandal of serious proportii followed his firBt attempt to break i the upper house, and it is said to h. cost the Senator $5,000,000 to ol himself. This was a petty sum him, however, since he scored a d ble viotory in defeating his fori friend and later his bitter enei Marcus Daly, and he considered -money well anent. Senator Oiark is unquestionably richest man west of tho Mississi Uiver. His term in the Senate d not expire till 1905.

I Insects Not Injured by tho Lowest of Low Temperatures. Tho severest cold luis no terror? for insect life, lt hus been shown by experiments that insects muy be artificially or naturally frozen, sub jected, indeed, to very low tempera tures, without killing or even injur ing them. Eggs, larva?, tho pu pa?, the stages in which most insects pass the winter, are perfectly im mune to cold. It is a common idea that cocoons of insects serve as a protection against cold;, but this is entirely er rol etuis. Tliey, like the summer webs of webworms, are a protection against birds and insect parasites, but not against cold. The cocoons of summer broods arc as stout and thick ns those of tho generations that pass the winter. Moths, but terflies and other insects build stout er and more compact cocoons in tropical and torrid countries than they do in those climates whore they aro besieged by winter. There nie many insects, allied to tho builders of cocoons, that make no such cov ering, tho pupa or the chrysalis be ing left entirely exposed. And so little heat is maintained by tho pu pre of insects that no matter how thick tho cocoons they arc always too slight lo repel freezing cold. Certain degrees of frigidity seem to have vastly different effecis on different species of insects. Gnats and midges dance in tho winter sun shine; butterflies-vanessa, grapta ano. sometimes collies-skim over the Bimw ; wasps and bees winn their way through tho leafless woods, ground beetles run quickly over the cold earth, crickets peep from be neath stones and rotting logs, while other species-the vast majority in fact-are locked in the lethargy of hibernation. One of the common est evidences of this hibernation is to bo seen when firewood .is carried into the house and placed near the warm stove. It takes only a short time to bring out a swarm of ants that were sleeping in beetle borings, their common retreat.-St. Nicho las. _ Threw In the Tobacco. In city stores where clerks have no control over the prices of goods the old time pructice of "throwing in" something- with a purchase has gone out of fashion. Yenrs ago, however, when "Long .John" Went worth, afterward Mayor Wentworth of Chicago, was a clerk in a grocery store, it was an established custom. 'A certain customer was particularly urgent in his appeals for what in New Orleans is called "lagnappe." "Now. Johnny, my boy," he said On one occasion when he had bought a gallon of molasses, "can't ye just throw in a trifle of line cut?" Young Wentworth looked at him for a moment; then hi9 eye twin kled. "Certainly," he said, and, uncork ing the jug, he "threw inr a handful of chewing tobacco. It cured the man of his habit of .asking for a bonus, if not of the habit of chew ing, tobacco.

Somebody told him that two could live- cheaper than one, and his sal ary of $10 a week was so small that it seemed a long time between pay days. So, ns :i matter of economy, he got married. Ho hud tlio good luck to get a Binnrt girl for a wife who had lit crury ambitions. At the end of the first throe months thc}' wore in debt to everybody who would trust them, and they held a consultation ns to whether it would bo wiser to go into bankruptcy or move over to Jersey.

She set tho even ing meal before him and waited for him to say something, but, manlike, ho kept her waiting. At last, when she could stand it no longer, she asked him: "What is it, George?"
