Mexicans also denoted further liqui dation on the reported decree of the de facto government of that country Imposing added burdens on foreign own ed concessions. Mexican Petroleum made an extreme decline of 3 1 8 points, with as much for Texas company and almost two points for American Smelting, despite the declaration of another "extra" dividend on that stock. Individual dealings in the motor group were much larger than the turn over in United States Steel, which was firm until the last hour, when the entire list weakened. An advance in steel bars, the first upward price re vision in some weeks, and the placing of additional large orders for rails offered proof of the inherently sound state 'of the steel trade.

Wheat prices leaped up 7 1 8 to 7 1 4 cents a bushel today, driven by reports of a disastrous widening of crop damage in Canada, the Dakotas and Minnesota. It was said by trade authorities fhat black rust havoc In Manitoba amounted to a calamity, that the pest also had acquired a dangerous foothold in Saskatchewan, and that the injury from rust and heat In the fields south of the international border had gone beyond any precedent According to estimates current today, the prospective total yield of wheat this season in North and South Dakota and in Minnesota will not be half as large as last year, and will be $3,000,000 "bushels short of the amount suggested by the United States government report a month ago.

Thousands of acres were dfk clared to be so badly smitten as not be able to repay the expense of harvest. After continuous rounds of buying that included much for Europe, the market just before the end of the day touched $1.31 3 8 for September as against $1.24 1 8 to 1 4 at yesterday's close.

HASKIN TELLS WHAT RAMSAY DID INSGIENGE Sir William, Recently Died, Is Shown to Be Leader in Discovery of Miracles. BY FREDERIC J. KASXIZT WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug.

2. With the death of Sir William Ramsay, science loses one of her most striking figures and one of her keenest minds. He stood at the meeting point of the science of the nineteenth century and that of the twen tieth, and his epoch making discoveries are among the greatest achievements of either period. He was selected by W1I held Ostwald, the world famous physicist and philosopher, as a prefect type of the man of genius. The most daring and radical of the con clusions whose truth he proved by brll llant and patient experiment was that transmutation of the elements Is no mere dream of the alchemists but an actual process that is continually going on about us.

The half mystical scientists of the Middle Ages, men who hardly deserve the name, with their methods a chaotic mixture of experiment and hocus pocus, spent years in trying to turn lead Into gold. The skeptical investigators of later centuries, the men who laid the foundations of modern science and the achievemens that have transformed the world exploded the old dream as an impossible folly. Lead and gold are elements, they said, and the very meaning of the term "element" Is something that can not be turned into something else. Lead or gold can be combined with other elements, but they will always remain lead and gold. Then came Sir William Ramsey and showed that perhaps the theory at least of the old alchemists was sound.

Radium and helium are elements, Just as are lead and gold; yet radium turns of Its own accord Into helium. And in 1907 he went farther and it was announced that he had obtained a compound of copper from sodium lithium and potas sium, three other elements, by the use of radium. Sensation The whole scientific world was thrown Into excitement by this announcement, and Indeed every thinking man, scientist or layman, was staggered by its importance. The great possibilities that it opened up furnished a rich and end less field for speculation as to the changes that might be In the human life of the future by an under standing and contrw of the process, which seemed to point not only to the chance of changing any substance into any other, but also to release Infinite stores of energy, the energy locked up In the molecule, which would do the work of the world and render possible almost any achievement dependent on power. Sir William himself with the true scientific viewpoint refused to speculate on the possible consequences of his dis coveries, and even minimized their practi cal importance.

He recognized the im mense amount of work and invest! ga. tion that would have to be done before the smallest Industrial benefit would result from the recognition of the hid den properties of matter, and he real lzed that the results which Imaginative minds unhampered, by a scientific know. ledge of the difficulties Involved predicted, lay at best so far the future that any theorizing as to their Importance was idle and unscientific. He admitted that a ton of radium breaking down of its own accord would do the work of millions of tons of coal, but he pointed out that the world's production of radium would probably never exceed a few ouicc a year. Jle admitted that It migat be possible in consequence of his discoveries and those of his colleagues to turn lead into gold, but he reminded enthusiastic; questioners that iho cost of the I.rjcens would be prohibitive.

He recognized, however, that his dis coveries were of the first Importance. They opened a new door to scientific pro gress, and the possibilities they brought up for industrial acntevement and the betterment tho lot humanity were none the less real tot celng very re mote. He was one of the men to tske ti first tteps on pain that may yet lead to imlmaglned heights. New Field of Science. This work of Sir William's on the ultimate nature of matter, ths probing into the fundamental qualities of all existence, belongs peculiarly to the science of the twentieth century, which abandons the old idea that science is concerned only with things that can be weighed and measured, and plunges boldly with Its methods of exactitude Into the realm formerly given over to metaphysics and philosophy.

The other achievement for which Sir William is world famous however, belongs rather to the old school of discovery probably It will be the last of Its kind that the last century was so rtcn In. Sir William Ramsay may be called the first man to know the truth about the air we breathe. Ever since the dawn of time humanity has lived in this familiar atmosphere, for the last century and more, the air has been the object of the keenest expert study. It was liquefied, analyzed, the laws of its expansion determined, the proportions of its constituents calculated to the third decimal place. Then, In the year came Sir William Ramsay and his colleague Lord Raylelgh, and announced the discovery of a new gas stantiated, and proposing that congress in the atmosphere a gas present in repeal its act of 1011 promoting the ex I the proportion of one part in every hun dred In all the air in which we live and move and have our being.

The new gas they named argon, the Inert because it refused to combine with any other element, unlike oxygen and nitro gen, the two most abundant gases of the air, which are chemically active. There was conslderaoie incredulity on the part of scientific men at the announcement of the presence of the new gas In the air, but further experiment has established its presence beyond all doubt Argon is one of the most curious of all the elements in the way It refuses to combine with any other substance. Not content with the discovery of argon, Sir William pursued his Investi gations farther, ana ultimately discovered four other hitherto unknown gaseous elements In the air. These four are much less abundant than argon, however, which Is thus the most important of the five. heir discovery and isolation were attended by immense difficulty, because like argon, they refuse to combine with other substances, and can only be removed from the air Ullljr UO ICJIIVVBU 1 1 III ITIO HIT rVWnll Oha.

LOCAL MAN TO ATTEND NAVAL TRAINING CRUISE Chester A. Thomas, of South Lincoln avenue, a member of the firm of Evans Thomas, Insurance agents, of 111 North Main avenue, will be one of the two thousand Americans who will go on the naval training cruise for civilians. The cruise will begin on August IS and continue until September 12. Mr. Thomas made an application to the war department some time ago to enlist, and after an examination was accepted.

He has been ordered to report to the battleship New Jersey on August 16. He was informed that after the re cruits are on board the ships will leave their respective naval districts and cruise for a period of about three weeks, During this time recruits will be given a practical Instruction In naval SEVERAL WOMEN COMPLAIN OF INSULTING YOUTHS Several complaints have been Issued by the residents of people living' in the vicinity of Stafford avenue. They say that a crowd of young boys living in the vicinity of Sloan's Patch are repeatedly insulting young women in that neighborhood as they pass along the street. Several attempts have been made to catch the culprits and teach them a lesson. It is expected that the police will have them arraigned very soon, as they are working on a clue at present that will entangle the miscreants In the net of the law before long.

They were discharged upon the payment of $5 fine. O'Molll Re Arrested. Clarence O'Neill, who was arralimBd before Alderman Gibbons on a charge of assault ana batter Tuesday, and discharged, was re arrested yesterday and held under $1,000 ball, on a charge of felonious assault before Alderman Thomas.

The second charge was preferred by George Huff, who claims that O'Neill beat him up with a pick handle on last Thursday. Odd Fellows to Meet. Members of the Silurian lodge. No. 763 I.

The newcomers filled awkward gaps In the table of Uie elements which science has prepared in one of her attempts to reduce the phenomena of chemistry to one logical law.

And the man who did all this, whom death has now claimed proceeded on his even way, unchanged by a. world reputation. Tall and rather thin of figure, with keen, considering eye of the scientist and the shrewd humor of the Scotchman, he never lost his sense of the true relations of things, aa so many scientist are prone to do. He realized the importance of his work and of the specialty, of science itself but he never let those figures fill his universe. He saw life truly and saw it whole.

In all his labors he had the assistance of skilled and erudite colleagues, whose contributions to the results attained he was always the first to acknowledge. But with the greatest of those achievements his name will always be Insepar ably associated, and the honor that his colleagues and prosperity will pay him he has earned In full measure. SCRANTON MEN IN NEW YORK BLOW UP Dr. M. S.

Bresch, of Washington avenue, has returned from New York and has brought with him several Interesting souvenirs of the terrible explosions of powder and shells on New York har bor early last Sunday morning. Dr. Bresch was in New York on Sunday. He had ample opportunity to study the effects of the explosion along the great white way. Plate glass windows, many of them almost an Inch thick, were scattered along the roadway as far up as One Hundred and Forty second street Dr.

Bresch picked up some of the thick plate glass along Broad way and distributed these among his friends as souvenirs of the greatest explosion that ever shook New York harbor. Another Scranton man who felt the effects of the explosion Is Louis Epstein, of Franklin avenue, the new manager of the Majestic theater. Manager Epstein was in New York in connection with the opening of the theater and was in a sleeper In the Hoboken terminal of the Lackawann when the explosion rocked the waterfront He fell out of his berth and, quickly dressing, soon learned that New York was apparently under bombardment He returned Monday afternoon with many Interesting stories of his experiences.

Admiral Strauss said the proposed selection plan 1 would, "tear the navy to pieces," that not 26 navy officers favored It and that everybody would be afraid of the use of "political Influence" in the promotion selections. Economy and efficiency both would be served by adopting the selection plan, Admiral Blue asserted.
