Coinage of Words.
When Lewis Carroll invented the
word "chortle" and used it in his famous
Jabberwocky poem in "Through the
Looking Glass," he did not know that
it would finally make its way into a dic
tionary, lut so it has. The fa_ct is noted
in an article on ''The Coinage of Words"
in Harper's Magazine for January, by
George Lyman Kittredge, proftesor of
English in Harvard. Prof. Kittredge
makes clear the process by which new
words are evolved in our daily speech
and eventually given a local "habitation
in the dictionaries.
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28 f 1902,
STOCKS DEPRESSED
BY BANK SHOWING
BUT IT IS STRONGLY SUPPORTED
AND CLOSES FIRM AT GEN
ERAL RECOVERIES
ROCK ISLAND AND AMALGAMATED
COPPER EFFECTIVE LEADERS
Palpable Profit-Takmrj in Brooklyn Tran
sit, Manhattan and Erie —Larger De
crease in Bank Reserves Than Had
Been Foreshadowed —Sharp Advances
in Some Inconspicuous Stocks.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—The stock mar
ket halted in an uncertain way today be
fore the publication of the bank state
ment, and after a dip following the pub
lication was strongly supported and closed
firm at general recoveries. Rock Island
and Amalgamarcd Copper. were effective
leaders in the recovery. The 'I\' 2 point
rise in Rock Island had no other explana
tion than a good statement of earnings
for November and claims for very large
future earnings. The buying of the stock
was concentrated and was attributed to
Western orders.
The movement In Amalgamated was re
ported to be due to buying in account of
rival interests, which was offered as cor
roborative evidence of rumors of an
agreement to end the copper war by ar
bitration. Amalgamated interests put out
disclaimers of these rumors. The stock
advanced % on very heavy buying. There
was palpable profit-taking in Brooklyn
Transit, Manhattan and Erie under cover
of the new movement in Rock Island.
Reports from the West of a threatened
breach in railroad relations growing out
of the recent contest in Colorado Fuel
caused a break in Denver & Rio Grande
preferred.
Bank Statement Analyzed.
The decrease of over $2,000,000 in bank
ing reserves was larger than foreshad
owed. Some relief was felt, however, at
the decrease in loans, although it was
small, as there was some apprehension
that loans had been expanded during the
week to obtain funds for the liquidation
of foreign obligations. The heavy drop
in cash reserves "and the enormous ex
pansion in credits of the banks of England
and of Germany attracted attention. This
is not abnormal at the year-end in the
case of the great central banking institu
tions abroad, and there Is always a quick
and violent return of funds into the re
serves after the turn of the year. The
retention of the 4 per cent Bank of Eng
land rate, however, is not of much sig
nificance, as the bank has been charging
4% per cent. Another $100,000 was trans
ferred to New Orleans through the sub
treasury today, and the squeeze of De
cember shorts in corn disclosed the pos
sibility of an emergency demand ' from
Chicago for funds. - A feature of the day
was. a number of sharp advances in incon
spicuous stocks. •
There has been some good buying of
bonds which is attributed to investment
demand from capitalists who are antici
pating the distribution of January profits.
United States 2s advanced % per cent
and the 3c coupon, the . new 4s and old
4s % per cent as.compared with the clos
ing call of last week. .

Peck's Advice- to Ingalls.
Charles W. Price, editor of the Electri
cal Review, in discussing the late Senator
John J. Ingalls, of Kansas, who was a
personal friend of Mr." Price, alluded to
his sarcastic tendency; 'which was fre
quently expressed in W correspondence.
He said that George R^'Eeck. of Chicago,
who was also a friend t>iV Senator Ingalls,
wrote a note to the senator at Washing
ton, asking him to secuxerthe appointment
of a mutual friend to a federal position.
Senator Ingalls returftefl'^a very sarcastic
reply, and declined to make the recom
mendation. Mr. Peek replied as follows:
"I think it would bfe will for you to re
serve your sarcasm for the rapidly increas
ing number of your enemies, instead of
devoting it to the decreasing number of
your friends, of whom I. am one." Mr.
Price says the appointment was made. —

TRADING IN GRAIN
SHOWS NO CHANGE
LITTLE DOING, YET THE MARKETS,
AS ON THE PREVIOUS DAY,
EXHIBIT STEADINESS
SMALL RECEIPTS HELP
MAINTAIN WHEAT PRICES
Tendency Early Toward Higher Prices,
but Realizing by the Bull Leader Holds
the Market Down —Absence of Influential
News Causes a Dull Day in Corn.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—There was little
doing in either grain or provision pits to
day, but in spite of the extreme dullness,
the market exhibited steadiness, May
wheat closing unchanged. May corn %c
higher and oats unchanged. May pro
visions were 2&c lower to 2«.@5c higher.
The feature in the wheat pit was the
steadiness manifested in the face of a
very dull market. Receipts in the North
west and at primary points were again
small and helped- in maintaining prices.
There was a' tendency early toward higher
prices, but realizing by the bull leader
held the market down and fluctuations
were confined wkhin a very narrow range.
May opened unchanged to a shade high
er at 7714 cto 77i/i@77%c, and sold be
tween 71% c and 77% c, closing unchanged
at 77 1,4 c. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 247,400 bushels. Primary
receipts were 576.500 bushels against 618.
--900 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 277 ears, which
with local receipts of 59 cars—with only
one of contract grade—made total re
ceipts for the tree points of 336 . cars,
compared with 4SB cars last week and
490 a year ago.
Dullness in Corn. \
Corn ruled extremely dull in the ab
sence of influential news. Nearby de
liveries were firmer, due to covering by. a
few scattered short lines. The weather
was a weakening factor, being clear and
cold throughout the West. May was %c
higher at the close at 43% c. after selling
between 43&@43%c and 43% c. Local re
ceipts were 256 cars, with seven of con
tract grade. "~, . .- ... -:
Oats ruled steady .with only a light
trade and there • was little change In
prices. The cash situation was again a
bull factor and traders were - largely on
the bull side. May closed unchanged at
34c, after ranging between 33% and 34% c.
Local receipts were 172 ears. ' • •
Provisions were stronger at the open
ing, influenced by a light run of hogs and
higher prices at the yards. Packers were
not as active buyers as they had been for
several days previously and with no out
side support the market sagged and was
light and the close was steady, pork be
ing 2%c lower at $16.45, - with lard 2%©
5c higher at $9.55 and ribs unchanged at
15.67^. -•. : •■ - - -
:• The estimated receipts for Monday
are: Wheat. 50 cars; corn. 280 cars; -oats;
135 cars and 36,000 head of hogs.

MINNEAPOLIS.
Minneapolis—Yesterday was the dullest
day of all in wheat. Minneapolis May,
the most active option, scarcely moved at
all. Opening at 75% c, it varied only l-16c
either way. July moved J/fcc. Closing
prices in all markets were the same as
Friday or were changed only by the small
est fractions. Chicago had practically no
trade. More cables were in from Argen
tine confirming the previous reports of a
more favorable turn in the weather. There
was a normal winter map, temperatures
being moderate Northwest arid rather low
in the middle West, although seasonable
and milder weather was predicted general
ly. A London cable received by a Chicago
house advanced bids a trifle on flour, and
in the general dullness and lack of any
thing important, this was taken as a sign
of encouragement by holders. New York
had some export inquiry today, and sold
15 loads. One Chicago broker wired that
they were talking 100,000 bu wheat sold
there all-rail to New York, but he could
not confirm it and doubted it. Cash ship
ping and milling demand is very slack,
while millers say flour trade is very poor.
Clearances wheat and flour for the day
were 245,000 bu, with no report in from
New Orleans.
Primary receipts were 576,000 bu,
against 618.000 bu last year, and ship
ments 154,000 bu, against 158,000 bu. Min
neapolis received 251 cars, against 340
cars last year; Duluth 26 cars against 91.
The cash market was quiet. There was
fair demand for the good wheat, but some
tendency to wait over.
The following was the range of prices:

Flour —As was expected, the mills turn
ed out less flour last week and the out
look is for even a lighter production for
this week. The demand is very moderate.
There has been a let up in domestic in
quiry, while of foreign inquiry there wa%
practically none, this due to the long
Christmas time holiday abroad. After
the first of the year millers look for a
revival, but it may not come immediately
after. Shipments are moderate, yester

DISCOVERIES ABOUT THE EYE
THAT ARE PECULIAR
Diversity in the Character of the Optics
Among Men and Dumb Animals.
The celebrated German oculist, HeLm
holtz, said that if an optician offered a
customer an instrument as imperfect as
the eye the customer would refuse to ac
cept it with indignation. There is much
exaggeration in this outburst, but we
know that the eye is not absolutely per
fect, although it is an organ of incom
parable delicacy and precision.
There is a great diversity in the position
and character* of the eyes among man
and the various races of animals; the or
gan being adapted in each case to the
needs and habits of the animal. Among
carnivorous animals the eyes are less
near together than in man and the ape,
but they are' still comparatively close to
gether. The widening of the nose among
the carnivaro places the eyes farther
apart than in man. The fact that the
eyes are closer together in these meat
eating animals than among herbivorous
ones has been attributed to the habit
which the former have of fixing their
eyes on their prey in order to spring
upon it.
The eyes of lions, tigers, cats and the
other felines are probably not very use
ful to see objects at a great distance,
but they are very effective in distinguish
ing nearby ones. The pupil of the eye
among the large, felines such as lions,
tigars and leopards is round and becomes
much larger when the animal is angry.
Among the small species, like cats, the
pupil has an eliptical form, and may be
dilated enormously. Under the effect of
strong light it contracts until it appears
only a narrow slit. When the animal is
irritated or in the darkness the pupil di
lates and takes a form almost circular.
In the latter case when the animal is in
the dark the faint amount of light pres
ent is gathered at the back of the eye
and reflected by the retina as by the con
cave mirror. This is the reason which
explains the so-called phosphorescence or
green eyes of the cat in the darkness.
This phosphorescence is observed to a
greater or less extent among all animals,
and is noticeable among some men.
Hassenstein has proved that there is no
real emission of light, but a simple reflec
tion on the retina which concentrates the
small amount of light present. In abso
lute darkness there is no light even from
a cat's eyes.
Among most of the carnivora a part of
the coloring layer of the iris near the
optic nerve is without pigment. It ap
pears to have, however, a handsome color
of greenish, blue.
The eyes of the herbiferous or grass
eating animal are large, as a rule, and
are placed noticeably at the side, which
augments the field of vision and enables
them while cropping the pasture to see
for a great distance in a horizontal di
rection. The arrangement of the eyes in
these animals has been explained by nat
uralists on the ground that they need to
see for a great distance in order to pro
tect themselves from the attacks of beasts
of prey, while the eyes of the latter are
fitted peculiarly for attack and combat.
The eyes of the horse present many pe
culiarities. Although this animal is not
peculiarly nocturnal, it sees in the dark
much better than man. The relief cr
prominence of objects appears much
greater in proportion as the eyes are
placed far apart. This may be verified by
looking through a stereoscope. For this
reason, the prominence of the objects
must seem very great to the horse, whose
eyes are placed at widely different angles.
This is why he often takes fright at ob
jects on the ground, the bigness of which
not apparent to man, appears quite an
obstacle to him. In addition to the upper

\and lower eyelids the horse possesses a
nictitating membrane like that of birds,
which can be lowered apart from the eye
lid to protect the eye.
The separation of the eye is more mark
ed in the giraffe than in any other
ruminating animal. This arrangement, in
combination with their great height, gives
these animals an enormous field of vision.
The eyes are very large, and of gentle
and intelligent expression.—Prof. V. Del
osiere.
Dogs of St. Bernard.
A French tourist relates that some time
ago he set ou- ass
by himself, and got caught in the fogr
near the top. He sat on a rock and waited
for one of the dogs to come and attend to
him, but in vain, and when the fog
cleared away he managed to reach the
Hospice. On arrival he observed that he
thought the dog a rather overrated ani
mal.
"There I was." he said, "for at least
six hours and not one came near me."
"But why," exclaimed one of the monks,
"why did you not ring up on the tele
phone?"
To the astonished tourist it was ex
plained that the whole of the pass is
provided with shelters at short distances
from each other, all in direct telephonic
communication with the Hospice. When
the bell rings, the monks send off a hound
loaded with bread and wine and other
comforts. The dog on duty is told what
number has rung, and he goes straight
to that shelter.
This system saves the hounds their old
duty of patrolling the pass on the chance
of a stray traveler beinpr found, and as the
pass is for about eight months of the
year under snow, this entailed very hard
and often fruitless labor.
Little Pitchers.
"Who lives next door to you?" asked
little Edith of a caller.
"Why do you ask?" Inquired the other.
"Because, replied Edith, "I heard
mamma say you were next door to a
