New York, Jan. 6.-Trading in cot?
ton was less active today and prices
showed a reactionary tendency after
the sharp advance of yesterday. This
was chiefly due to disappointing ca?
bles and considerable selling here fer
Liverpool account as well as* for the
account of profit-taking longs. By the
.end of the first half hour of trading
the market was about 19 to 23 pointe
net lower, but showed considerable
stability around that level.
During the forenoon the market
broke badly, following a turn for the
worse in eastern news accompanied
by heavy liquidation. Prices were soon
-driven down to 13.25 for March, 13.43
for May and 13.49 for July, these be?
ing net losses of 39 to 49 points. Later
the market rallied about 10 to 15
points from the bottom on bull support
and covering, while there was also
some outside buying as a result of
smaller receipts. The steadier tend?
ency was of short duration, however,
for shortly after midday more dis
-quieting rumors were in circulation
concerning the far eastern situation,
and everything gave way to considera?
tion of. possible war, with all the
months selling down to new low levels
for the day. March touched 12.88:
May 13.05 and July 13.05, or 81 to 85
points Jower, placing prices to the
level oceupied before yesterday's ad?
vance. Toward the close there was a
slight rally. The market closed easy
at a net decline of 70 to 75 points.
The sales were estimated at 1,200,000
bales.
. IN NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans Jan. 6.-Heavy liqui?
dation induced by unfavorable Liver?
pool cables and disquieting war'
rumors, cansed a decline of from 30
to 33 points in the cotton market to?
day.
There was a general tendency to
lower crop estimates on the census
report of yesterday, and one firm carno
ont with an estimate of 9,250,0<X) bales,
which is the lowest estimate made
th ns far by any member of the cotton
exchange.
New* York, Jan. 7.-Cables were
better than expected by several points
today, and paved the way for a firm
opening cf the New York cotton mar?
ket, which started atf an advance of 9 to
17 points on active covering by shorts
and a good run of buying by commis?
sion bouses on wire orders accumulat?
ed daring the night. The early firm?
ness was increased by indications of
subsiding interior receipts and reports
of a firmer spot market in the South.
Immediately fellowing the opening
call the market ruled irregular and
lower under liquidation, and by 10.20
was a dozen points off from the open?
ing.
Towards noon the market developed
great strength and activity on cover?
ing and renewed public demand, fol?
lowing what were considered to he
more peaceful indications as to affairs
in the far East. By 1 o'clock the
market showed about tho same advance
that was current on the opening call.
In the late afternoon less attention
was paid to so-called news from the
far East which was very conflicting.
Port receipts exceeded official esti?
mates by several thousand bales, and
were also greater than last year, but
this fact was offset by reports of enor?
mous exports at New Orleans, which,
however, did not get in the official
total. The average of the afternoon
influences gave a steady closing at a
net advance of 10 to '4 points The
sales were estimated at 70J,0C0 bales.
New York, Jan. 8 '-With the Ne<v
Orleans cotton market closed celebra?
ting the aniversary of the battle of
New Orleans, the bull forces concen?
trated their energies on Liverpool and
New York and bought freely today on
the ground that a large short interest
had been accumulating lately. Cables
that would have matched the New
York closing by an advance of only
4}?a5?? points had reported a rise of
22 points before the opening of busi?
ness here. This, with indications of
I light receipts, prepared the way for a
strong opening. Shorts were eager
buyers and there was a pretty good
showing in the way of wire orders.
The market opened at an advance of
13 to 21 points. Houses with New Or?
leans connections were large buyers.
Later in the session the market be?
came more active and firmer in view
of smaller receipts than bad been fore?
casted with the movements for the
-week falling- below that of last year.
Confidence was further increased by
reports-of a still more peaceful ten?
dency to affairs in the far East. At
the best: point tho market showpd a
rise of 26 to 30 points and was finally
very steady at a net gain of 28 points.
The volume of business was small,
largely owing to the closing of the
New Orleans exchange. The sales of
.the day were estimated at only 4000,
000 bales.

A MACHINE THAT FLIES.
! _
The Wright Brothers Declare that
They Have Solved the Problem
of Navigating the Air.
"Dayton, O., Jar. 6.-The Wright
-brothers, inventors ot' the flying'
machine which has attracted such
widespread attention, have prepared
the following, which they say is the
first correct statement cf the successful
trials made by them:
"On the morning of Dec. 17, between
10.30 and noon, four flights were made,
two by Orville Wright and two by Wil?
bur Wright. The starts were ail made
from a point on the level and about
200 feet west of our camp, which is
situated a quarter of a mile north of
Kill Devil Sand, in Dare county, N.
C. The wind at the time of the flight
had a velocity of 27 miles an hour at
10 o'clock and 24 miles an hour at
noon as recorded by the anemometer
at the Kitty Hawk weather bureau
station. This anemometer is 30 feet
from the ground. Our own measure?
ments, made with an anemometer at a
height of fbur feet from the ground,
showed a velocity of about 22 miles
when the first flight was made and
22f^ when the last flight was made.
The flight was made directly against
the wind. Each time the machine
started from the level ground by its
own power with no ssistance from
gravity or other source whatever.
After a run of about 40 feet along the
monorail track which held the ma?
chine eight inches from the groundd,
it rose from the track and under th&
direction of the operator climbed up?
ward on an inclined course until a
height of eight or ten feet from the
ground was reached, after which the
course was kept as near horizontal as
the wind gusts and the limited skill
of the operator would permit. Into
the teeth of a 25-mile gale the 'flyer'
made its way forward with a speed of
10 miles an hour over the ground and
30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.
It had previusiy been decided that for
reasons of personal safety these first
trials should be made as close to the
ground as possible. The height chosen
was scarcely sufficient for manoeuver
ing in so gusty a wind and with no
previous acquaintance with the con?
duct of the machine and its controll?
ing mechanism. Consequently the first
flight was short. The succeeding
flights rapidly increased in length and
at the fourth trial a flight of 59 sec?
onds was made in which the machine
flew a little more than half a mile
through the air and a distance of more
than 852 feet over the ground. The
landing was due to a slight error o?
judgment on the part of the operator.
After passing over a little hummock
of sand in attempting to bring the
machine down to the desired height
the operator turned the rudder too far
and the machine turned downward
more quickly than had been expected.
The reverse movement of the rudder
was a fraction of a second too late to
prevent the machine from touching
the ground and thus ending the flight.
The whole occurrence occupied little
if any more than one second of time.
"Only those who are acquainted
with practical aeronautics can appre?
ciate the difficulties in attempting the
first trials of a flying machine in a 25
mile gale. As winter had already set
in, we would have postponed our
trials to a more favorable season, but
for the fact that we were determined
before returning home to as?
certain whether the machine
possessed sufficient power to
withstand the shock of landing and of
sufficient capacity of control to make
a flight safe in boisterous winds as
well as in calm air. When the points
had been defiaately established we at
once packed our goods and returned
home, knowing that the age of the fly?
ing machine had come at last.
"From the beginning we have em?
ployed entirely new principles of con?
trol and as all the experiments have
been conducted at our own expense
without assistance from any individ?
ual or institution, we do now feel
ready at present to give cut any pic?
ture or detailed description of the ma?
chine. "

?HE ST?RY OF THE ASK.
Question Has Arisen as to Au?
thenticity of Yoyage.
As in the case of the story of Jonah
and his brief but intimate acquain?
tance with the whale, questions have
been raised about the authenticity of
the story of the trip of the first house?
boat, the ark. Was it possible to con?
struct a vessel having the reputed ca?
pacity of the famous craft? What were
its dimensions anyway? These ques?
tions have buzzed in the head of more
than one "old subscriber" and "cons?
tant reader. " The editor of the Syren
and Shipping has undertaken to an?
swer these questions and allay for ali
time any doubts as to whether the
writer of the story of the deluge was
ignorant of the subject of ship-build?
ing. "Within the last ten years," he
says "the general dimensions of the
ark have been closely followed by car?
go steamship builders for deep sea
and the American Great Lakes ser?
vice. According to the bible, the ark
was 480 feet long, 80 fee# wide and 48
feet deep. Her tonnage was 11,413,
and she had plenty of room for pairs
of all the distinct species of animals
that are classed by Buffen-244-and
she could have accommodated 1,000
persons and then have plenty of room
for the storage of supplies. In the
seventeeth century Peter Jansen, a
Hollander, built a vessel of the exact
proportions of the ark, and she was
successful, as records of the times
show, in making money for her own?
ers. Noah, the "Father of Naval
Architecture," is held in profound re?
spect by naval architects of today, who
know how immensely the Phoenicians,
Greeks and Romns and all other ship?
builders fell short of the excellence of
the type of the ark as a commodius,
safe and?economical vessel."
Cause and Transmission of Texas
Cattle Fever.
Nothing positive was known in re?
gard to either the cause of the disease
of the manner of its transmission until
the subject was taken up by the Bureau
of Animal Industry in 1889. Under
the general supervision of Dr. D. E.
Salmon, chief of the bureau, a sys?
tematic investigation of the subject
was begun at the experiment station,
near the city of Washington. In the
laboratories of the station, one cf the
best pieces of biological research that
this country has witnessed was carried
on by Dr. Theobald Smith, chief of
the Division of Animal Pathology,
now a member of the Harvard medi
cal faculty. One of the most charac?
teristic symptoms of Texas fever in its
acute stages is the loss of blood,
which, passing off with the urine, has
given to the disease, in some coun?
tries, the name of "red-water." It
has also been observed that the kid?
neys, liver, and especially the spleen
were greatly enlarged and engorged
with blood, from which fact the dis?
ease is sometimes known as "splenetic
fever." But Dr. Smith now demon?
strated that the fever is not primarily
a disease of these organs, but of the
blood. He discovered the presence of
a -micro-parasite in the red corpuscles
of the blood, by which the corpuscle
itself is destroyed. There is an enor
mus multiplication of these parasites
during the earlier stages of the dis?
ease, resulting in the destruction of
one-fourth to three-fourths of the red
corpuscles. These dead corpuscles are
eliminated through the kidneys, and
give rise to the characteristic symp?
toms of the disease. The same micro?
organism was found in the blood of
healthy Southern cattle.
While these discoveries were being
made in the laboratories, equally im?
portant results were reached in the
field experiments that were "being car?
ried on at the same time. Under the
immediate direction of Dr. F. L. Kil
bourne, a series of experiments was
carried on, covering a period of three
years, for the purpose of determining
what part, if any, the cattle tick has
in the transmission of Texas fever.
From these experiments several im?
portant facts were definately establish?
ed. It appeared that the plague always
broke cut among Northern cattle
when they were allowed to run on pas- 1
tn res occupied by "ticky" Southern1
cattle, or over which ticks picked
from Southern cattle had-been scatter- j
ed. The same results were obtained
when ticks were transferred directly
from Southern to Northern cattle. Not
only so, but even young ticks hatched
artificially, which had never been in !
contact with Southern cattle, were j
found to transmit the fever when they j
were applied to Northern cattle or I
were scattered over the pasture occu- j
pied by them. On the other hand,
Southern cattle '.vere found to be en
tirely harmless if carefully cleared of
ticks before being placed in the same
pastures with the Northern animals.
It was proved that the fever could net
be contracted by taking rho germs in?
to the digestive tract, for large quan?
tities Gf ticks wore fed to susceptible
animals along with their food with?
out the lep.st sign of the disease. On
the other hand, it was found that the
disease could be readily transmitted
by inoculating susceptible animals
j with the blood drawn directly from
! the veins of cows suffering from the
disease, cr with the blood drawn from
the veins of healthy Southern cattle,
thus proving that the disease germs are
always present in the blood ol' immune
Soutiiern cattle, lt is of interest to
note, in connection with the tick
theory, that the transmission of dis?
ease germs by means of parasites,
then entirely new, is now familiar to
us all through t!.e discovery thar tho j
mosquito is responsible for the spread I
of malaria and yellow fever.-From
