~What I* Money?
From Bull* and Bears.
To the query; ''\yhat I* money, any
way?” the following answer* are made:
Money Is the loudest sound In thp
voice of life.
Balt for the matrimonial hook.
Fuel for fun.
The one thing that make* crooked
thing* straight, and straight things
crooked.
Tho most effective substitute for
brains.
A provider for everything but happi
ness; a passport to everywhere but
heaven.
The New York Idea. _
Something that always gets the glad
hand.
Money Is the most difficult root to
cultivate.
Metal often manufactured from
water" In Wall street.
The best talking machine.
That which women look for whllo
men sleep.
A curse to some that have It, and a
curse to all that haven’t.
The breath of business.
Our private god.
The antidote for poverty.
That which speaks a language we
ran all understand, but In which so
few are able to converse.

1638, and made none-too good a choice
of eltuatlon, for the bay la very open
and a dangerous anchorage In a gale
from sea. Hardly was the place a
town before Drake descended upon It
and tacked It. In 1536 Hawkins raided
It and got much booty and only four
years later the unhappy town wo*
burned by a Dutch coraalr.
In 1822, again In 1161, and once
more In 1880, It waa nearly leveled by
earthquakes, and In 1818 a Spanish
fleet entered the bay and bombarded
the place, causing terrible loss of prop
erty and life. In 1881 came the biggest
revolution that ever convulsed a South
American republic, and the city waa
the scene of three days’ continuous
and terrific fighting. On August 27
the Insurgents entered Valparaiso and

Falling Into Hols in Air.
One of the strange experiences of a
balloonist to that of falling Into "a hole
In the air,” which Mr. Rolker reports
follows;
"So you continue sailing, enjoying
the present with little thought of the
startling surprises that may be before
you. Ahead of you, unseen, may be
what the balloonist calls a 'hole In the
air,’ resembling the vortex of a mael
strom, and down this you inay liter
ally fall at a rate which le terrifying
until, by sacrificing two or three bag
fuls of sand at once, your pilot checks
your downward flight But theae
'holes' are scarce, and, as a rule, the
atmosphere la of uniform carrying
power.”—American Magaalne.
