Woodward of Knoxville lias discovered what he claims will solve the protilem enn frtintlne Marconi of InterminKlinir messaKes sent by wireless telegraphy. He asserts that he has discovered i-lectrlu-appearinc strata In earth with different qualities ot force. He sa: "I Iielleve the dav is not far distant when mcsaR'S will he conveyenl tliruuRh the tmiiintnlns without use of wire, hut liy 'Ji Ing the strata electricity existing In the earth." He holds there nre different qualities cr natures of electricity and that he set about to find the "vlrBlnlal" electricity, which, he !,ivs. exists In space and is not affected by tofitact with minerals, vegetables or ani mal life or machines. His claim is that this electricity, existing In the strata or the earth with different resistance at different depths, can be successfully used In wire less telegraphy. In explanation lie said that he put a wire In the surface of the (rround and de termined Its resistance to a inS-voltaRe dvnnmo. He entered a rit ten feet deep, drove a. brass rod In the earth and found different resistance to the same voltage and ampereagp as In the first test. At the bottom of a thirty-foot dry well he found still another ret-ltance to the same dy namo. Sinking a sixteen-foot Insulated pipe into the bottom of this well and driving a steel rod into the earth at the bottom of the pipe lie found another electrical con dition These experiments showed entirely differ ent resistances' on the surface, ton, thirty and forty-six feet below the surface.

Shit'tiiii: of Aci'oimts Uetween Hank anil Trust Companies Chiefly Kesponsilile Tran sit ISoiids a Factor. ni'.I'l'UI.IC SI'KCIAI. New Yotk, Feb. P' "all Mteet -bowed some slight uncertainty ag?iu during the week, which resulted in itrcsular price chat:ges. bin the manifestations were rather of a surface character r-na did not appear to .xteiid very far beneath. Secuiltlcs maintained an undertone of strength, which, wiiile probably due to the highly syndicated nature of the market, gave ad ditional etidence of the strength pjid conlie dence of the element which Is In control of the malket. There was little, if any. on I.iigenient uf public Inlerest or public buy ing, and investors found little encourage ment in some of the financial plans which were announced In connction with street railway enterprises. The proposed issue of $le".K),ii bonds of the Drooklyn Transit Company chlllod en thusiasm, while the sharp recoverv In Metropolitan Street Hallway could scarcely be Interpreted as an approval of Iho much Involved Ilnaneial plan. If a heavy short Interest exists in Metro politan stock, as has lietn alleged, and as the advance in the rights on the curb on Saturday seemed to indicate. Wall street may see some skyrockets in that property before it H much older. Such advances, however, would be due to a technical stock maiket position ill reference to the shares, and dois not of nccs-lty mark any enthu siastic deception of the Metroiiolitan -c-curity company. The Ilnaneial plan of tho Metroiiolitan Street Itallwav will undoubtedly come In for some very severe criticism before the public or the company has heard the last of the matter. So far as tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit plan is concerned, much remains mystery. After the influence of the tlrst announcement wore away Wall street says that the refund ing proposition which was given such prom inence in the statement would not. if all goes wtll with the company, hs the prevent generation ot investors. The experience that the company hat- had with sonio of Its recent effort? to sell bonds of subsidiary mads does not lead to the belief that any vry large amount of the MW.OoiWW pro posed Issue will be Immediately sold in the. market, though an underwriting syndicate might asain be Induced to take some ot them. , The shifting ot loans between banks and trust companies was again chiefly respon sible for the enormous expansion of loans In the weekly bank statement. That the heavy Inflation has no apparent effect on security prices is not particularly strange In view of the pooled, clioued and syndicated char acter of the stock market. Despite the fact, however, that the explanation is rational and simple, the enormous total that the loans have now reached can scarcely pass without affecting the minds of conservative persons. Although as yet It has had little Influence on money, rates are likely to show some influence In the very near future. Demand sterling, however, hardened on Saturday and tho rate for Paris checks ugain touched the gold point, foreshadow ing early shipments. The hUhly prosper ous conditions of the country continue and encouragennnt Is given by the Improvement of Industrial conditions in Europe. The public, however, sllll holds aloof from the stock market. Impelled to caution, apparent ly, by the enormous, capital creations! and other developments in high finance. ZINC PRICES STILL UPWARO. Active Competition Anion"; Huyers Atrci'ts .Market Lead Steady. REPFBLIC SPECIAL Joplln. Mo., Tell. M.-The value of the ore sold during the seven weeks of 1912, ending ye.-tenlay. aggregates S1.11&242. ex ceeding the million-dollar mark one week in advance of l!'l. Tho sales of zinc ore were C.330,630 iiounds more than the corre sponding period of last jear, the lead sales were 178,53) iwiunds less, and the value was 517u,G74 more. Active competition between buyers for Hie Edgar Zinc Company and the niluol Zlne Company forced the price of three lots of zinc ore up J1..V) per ton, and these were settled for at $3.1 per ton. One other lot sold at $32 and two loti at t3I.St per ton. The assay basis cut no figure In the-u sales, the ore selling on a straight bid. without deductions for moisture. Lead was steady all week at $'3.D0 per ton. Four weeks of cold weather, during which time fully -one-fourth of the producing mines have been forced to remain Idle all or part of the time, has resulted In reduc ing the stock on hand at the mines until it has -become almost a puzzle for buyers to secuie the amounts ordered by the com panies they represent, except by advancing prices. Another wcik of cold, snould the Edgar Zinc foinpnny conclude to take as much oie as the last two weeks, mav force prices still upward. The Edgar Company's agents loaded Ixtween forty-live and liftv cats of zinc the past week, and over fifty tl-.e preceding wed:. To-mortow night the Missouri and Kan sas Zinc Minors' Association will hold a meeting for the purpose ot reorganization along stronger lin"-. having found that the present charter does not petmlt of accom plishing the principal feature of the or ganization the exportation of zinc ore. Following are the sales In pound from the tracts of land owned or controlled by the -companies and Individuals -named n the several camps of the district for the week ending February 1.1. lmti: JOPLIN.
