PRICES RISE AS FAITH RETURNS Stock Market Peel? In?nenre of Ke stored ConrldeDce? Outlook In Prot, fron?. New York, Feb. 5.?Freeh growth of confidence In the price of secureties and the prosperous outlook for bus iness was reflected In the renewed up lift of prices and expansion'of activity In the stock market laut week. Two Incidents of the week had a dominant effect in shaping speculative sent!-j merit, t^<? statement of programme of Improvement of the I'nlon Pacific Hnd the BUppllmentary announcement of Chairman Gary of the fJnlted StateH Steel corporation with the quarterly statement of earnings. Sense of Securit>. The decision of the Colon Pacific management to proceed with the double tracking of the system by tho expenditure of $7.",.000.000 extending over the next five years swept Into the background most of the mlsgl 'ingu over railroad conditions which still remained. This programme and the expression of confidence by the chair man of the Union Pacific board pro claimed a sense of security for the , future which is not impared by the J still undecided question of railroad rate Increases, the anti-trust cases be fore the supremo court and the suit for dissolution of the I'nlon Pacific and .Southern Pacific systems. Ap proach of the time for decision of these questions threatened to bring them into force as repressive influenc. es <iti financial progress. The Union Pacific announcement proved a time ly factor, whether designedly or not, in counteracting this Influence. Iteady Absorption. Restored confidence on the part of; the railroad managements may be traced to tin ready absorption of new i capital issues. Issues of new securtles In January were $22.",,000,000 In the New York money market, a new high record for tha month. The prevailing sentiment of special news. Bigna?zed In a resolute way by the poor showing of the De cember quarter of the Cnlted Steel earnings, was Ignored In favor of the announced lmprevement since ihe first of the year. This statement said the daily aver agc of broking or new orders from tho corporation had risen in January to 30,000 tons compared with 21100? tons in November and December. Bank Figures, The controller's abstract of nation ?ul bank's returns as of January 7 was notable for a drop of $191,560,000 in individual deposits in eight weeks, with a parallel reduction of only 000.000 in the loan account.

A parallel c* latitude Is ! rsduced. to a single point and longi- j tude entirely vanishes. Time also vanishes, for It Is always local noon. All winds blowing over the pole blow from the south and also toward the south at the same time. The magnetic needle points due south. The stars do not rise and set, but describe a circle around the horizon. The north star Is not directly over head, but describes a circle four and one half times as broad as the sun's face. If a man should walk westward on a parallel of latitude three and one half mllcK from the pole at the rate of one mile an hour, he would bo trav eling eaBt at the sai le velocity with which that part of the earth Is golDR west. 80 he would not be moving at all, but wouW be treading the earth under his feet In the same way that a dog walks on a rolling barrel. The auroras shed their mysterious radiance over the long polar nights. The phenomena of auroras extend through a zone the center of which is near the magnetic pole, but the maxi mum effect Is observed at a consider able distance from this pole. Inside this belt of maximum effect auroras are seen to radiate from points both . north and south of the zenith, but at places outside the belt they stream only from the north. There appears to bo an Intimate re lation between the distribution of auroras and that of barometric pres suse In the polar regions. To science the discovery of the pole Is of great importance. A knowledge of the ocean depth, winds and temperature at the pole are of the greatest valus in geography and meteorology.

STONE AND MARBLE CUTTER - I Motor Illustrated That Has Been In* V*nted for Drilling and Carving by Means of Pulleys. Drilling, cutting and carving of mar ble and Btone has heretofore been done ; by pneumatic tools, but now electric power is largely used to do this work. Tho Illustration shows a motor for this purpose suspended from the cell- ( ing by means of pulleys and a counter weight. The flexible shaft with the tool attached hangs within easy reach of tho workman and tho height can ; be easily varied. In a shop equipped with pneumatic drills and cutters a large tank of compressed air must be kept supplied from a compressor even when only one or a few tools are be ing used, while with an electric tool the pendant switch hanging alongside the shaft allows the motor to bo stop Stone and Marble Cutter. pod when tho tool Is not In use. Fos ter & Hosier, Chicago, who make this devlco, state that G.400 blows a mlnuto may bo struck and that tho vibration eo common in pneumatic tools is greatly reduced. Substitute for Platinum.

"A very dear friend advised me to take Cardui, as it had done her so much good, so 1 commenced to use it and now I am in good health."
