Some strange occupations figure on Indian census schedules. At the last census In many villages of Haidarabad and the central provinces enthusiastic and devout enumerators returned the village shrines and temples as "occupied houses." The occupant was the Idol, whose occupation was stated as "granting boons and blessings, living on contributions from the tenants." Other callings returned on the schedules Include collectors of edible birds' nests, receivers of stolen goods, witches, wizards and cow poisoners. Pall Mall Gazette. Stumbled on the Will.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, Sept. 2. There is worldwide activity in trade. Great Britain, Germany and France have all been enjoying unparalleled activity and prosperity. This extended to both home and foreign trade. In Germany there have on several occasions been signs of over-strain, but timely precautions prevented trouble and indications are for a continuance of ac tivity for some time to come. In Great Britain commercial activity has continued on a record-breaking scale in spite of threatening social and political changes. No serious check has thus far developed, and Great Britain is looking forward to another season of profitable activity in her widely scattered enterprises. France is beginning to recover from the setback Induced by political radicalism. Increased commercial activity is not confined to Europe. It extends into Asia and India. In fact the present boom for it is nothing less is worldwide, being one of those great forward movements which come at regular periods, and which are always stimulated by progress of invention and the development of means of communication. For the past year or two the United States has hardly kept pace with the march of world events. For this our politicians and would-be statesmen must be held largely responsible. The reckless and indiscriminating attacks upon all forms of consolidated capital, promoted more by the spirit of envy and malice or a desire for political notoriety than by a genuine wish to reform obvious abuses, have been mainly responsible for this arrest of commercial progress in the United States. Happily there are signs of the abatement of this misguided and unfortunate movement, although the end should not be too confidently expected until the character and policy of the next congress is more fully determined. Of one thing, however, the country is terribly weary, and that is the making of great business interests the football of politics. This is quite as injurious to the average voter and the average laborer as to the owner of capital, and will soon be more apparent if attacks for political purposes are not made with better discretion. We have had enough of neurotic politicians, and it is time that Washington became the seat of sane and sensible legislation instead of sensational politics. At last the United States appears about ready to take its share of the world's commercial activity. One great offset to political disturbances is the unusually bountiful harvest now practically assured. This is the best diversion from politics that could have BIG CARD FOR Richmond fight fans should see a slashing good scrap tonight at the Coliseum, when Young Donnelly steps into the ring with Eddie Webber, the fighting conductor. There is no doubt but what Webber is the hardest puncher of the two, but Donnelly also carries a knockout punch and is much the cleverest. These boys are classed amongst the best welterweights and each will weigh 142 pounds ringside. In the semi-wind-up, Buck Daily will swap punches with Harry Burghman and as these two boys recently fought a slashing 10 round draw they should WALDORFS DEFEATED (Palladium Special) Greenfield, Ind., Sept. 2. The Richmond Waldorfs were trimmed by the locals yesterday afternoon to the tune of 8 to 1.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

happened. In all parts of the country merchants are preparing for active business this autumn. Factories are already filled with orders to supply anticipated demands. The steel industry shows greater activity than ever, and is running close to full capacity at good prices with a big volume of Torders still in sight. The demand comes chiefly from railroads and new building enterprices. Railroads are sure to be heavy buyers for a long period ahead, simply to satisfy imperative demands for better equipment and better facilities at terminal points. This condition will compel the railroads to make large additional capital applications during the next few months. How they will succeed, considering the high rates which new capital now demands, remains to be seen. The reports of big crops and their increased money values are already familiar. Conditions in consequence are ripening for a period of very active business in the United States. There is no reason, except politics, why 1913 should not prove a recordbreaking year. As an additional indication of improvement, Clearing House returns last week were 14 per cent ahead of a year ago, a surprisingly large increase, considering the small volume of speculative transactions. The gains were well distributed over all sections of the country, though most pronounced in the great Northwest. Another very satisfactory proof of improvement is the increase in current railroad earnings, both gross and net. Railroad managers are anticipating a car famine owing to the big crops. Such evidences of a revival are certain to restore confidence and to still further stimulate activity. Thus far these conditnons have been only slightly reflected in the stock market. Prices have shown a steadily hardening tendency, and have established a very fair advance since early summer. The spirit of activity however, is still dormant, and this absence of response is not difficult to explain. This is the usual period of summer quiet, partly owing to vacation absentees. There is still a large degree of dissatisfaction with the railroad situation. It is taken for granted that some concessions will be made to the demands of the engineers, which j will, of course, be followed by demands from other railroad employes. Should the Interstate Commerce Commission refuse to allow the railroads to com- j pensate themselves by increased rates, the position of the railroads will become still more disconcerting, espe cially in view of the undoubted ne-! cessity for raising large amounts of new capital. FIGHT F put up a very interesting contest. A good card of preliminaries has been arranged, and the best of the local boys will be seen in action. The card is probably the best that has ever been offered the local bugs draw a packed house as the advanc and this being Labor Day, should draw a packed house, as the advance sale of seats has been the largest ever had for a boxing contest. The first bout will start at S:15 and the show will be over by 10:30 so out of . town patrons can get their cars. Women will be admitted free and popular prices will prevail. WENGER IS CURED Patrol Driver Wenger is cured of motorcylitis. Yesterday he started for Indianapolis with other members of the local motor club, but hit a small dog six miles west of Cambridge City. He was thrown and his machine broken. He repaired this trouble, but south of Indianapolis had more trouble with his disabled machine. He repaired this, and at Rushville, his destination, he traded, his machine for another. He says he will sell this one, and never straddle a motorcycle of his own again. Darkest London.

LANDS OPENING CONTEST Defeats Richmond Sunday Afternoon by the Close Score of 3 to 2. BY JACK THOMAS. Lack of hitting when hits meant runs, caused the locals to drop a game to the Cambridge City Greys yesterday by the score of 3 to 2. The game would have been a splendid one except for the rotten umpiring. Umps refused to see any kind of play except fly outs, those he couldn't miss. Richmond hit into double plays when runs should have been made, and otherwise had bad luck. Batson pitched good ball, and clamped down tight when hits were needed. Richmond made ten clean hits to the visitors' seven, but they were too badly scattered. A ninth inning rally netted two suns, but with two men on bases, Boll, the last batter, could not connect, and the umpire called a high ball a strike, and the game was over. Cambridge started in the second inning, two clean hits over third, coupled with a muff by Stupp let in the first run. The next man hit into a double play, Martin to Powell, retiring the visitors. In the fifth they scored on a hit, a fly out advancing the runner, and a sacrifice bunt. Tun ner pulled off a great play, running backward and spearing with one hand a fly that looked good for a threebagger. In the sixth Cambridge started with a muffed fly by Turner, advancing on sacrifice hits, and scoring on Clark's two bagger into center field. Clark was the heavy man with the stick, getting two singles and a double out of four times up. Richmond should have gotten runs in the sixth. Feldhaus hit safely going to second on Smith's hit. Stupp hit to first and the ball was thrown to the catcher. Feldhaus evaded the catcher, but the umpire called him out. He was safe by a small margin. Betts hit to second, who fumbled, and Steins hit into a double play. In the ninth, however, Richmond made a game rally. Stupp was safe on an error, Betts hit to third and was out, but Stupp advanced. Steins hit over third, scoring Stupp, Turner hit to short, who cut off Boll (running for Steins) at second, but Turner safe on first. Powell then hit to the center fielder, who dropped the ball, and Martin lined to third, and the ball was fumbled, allowing Turner to score but Boll ended the rally by whiffing. "We'll get 'em Monday," was the sentiment expressed by the locals. The score: Richm'nd ..0000000022 104 Cambr'dge ..0 100110003 74 LIFE OF THE SUN. Old Sol's Heat Will Warm tho Earth For NUirions of Years. The reason why the sun retains its heat In spite of the quantity that it gives out is explained by the fact that heat is generated by the fall of particles toward its center. The diameter of the sun diminishes annually by 150 meters, a little more than the ten-millionth part of its total. According to estimates made, 30,000 years will pass before the solar radius diminishes enough to produce an effect appreciable by the most delicate instruments, always supposing that the astronomical Instruments of the future will be similar to the instruments of the present. By like calculations it is estimated that the sun will send heat to the earth between six millions and sight millions of years longer. Radium, which emits heat spontaneously and without cessation. Is present in the sun. One gram of radium frees enough heat in one hour to raise a grain of water from the temperature of ice to the temperature of boiling water. Hence the presence of this element assists in the preservation of the sun's heat. The spectroscope reveals great quantities of helium In the sun. quantities great In proportion to the sun's other elements. The presence of helium is due to the disaggregation of radium. Two grams of radium per ton of the sun's elements would be enough for the entire regeneration of all the heat tost by the sun. Harper's Weekly.

1911; Nodosal Motw A BULLFIGHTS IN PORTUGAL The Battles Are Bloodless and tho Contestants Rarely Hurt. The distressingly cruel treatment of animals so common in the Latin countries is almost entirely absent among the Portuguese, and for this reason their great national sport, the bullfight, is really an enjoyable spectacle to an American, writes Mrs. C. R. Miller In Leslie's Weekly. In the Portuguese version the bull is never killed. The horrible goring of horses a feature of the Spanish fight does not occur, for If a horse was injured in a Portuguese performance the rider would be hissed from the ring and very likely mobbed afterward. The men taking part are rarely hurt, although the skill displayed is much greater than that shown in the Caetlllan style of the sport. Occasionally they have a burlesque Spanish bullfight In Lisbon with the cruelty eliminated. The horses ridden by the picador are armored and cannot be gored, and when the bull Is to be killed the matador strikes him at the particular spot on the back of his neck, which in Spain means almost Instant death to the animaL Instead of killing the bull, however, the Pen. tuguese matador's sword doubles up after the fashion of the ones used by the sword swallowers in our sideshows, and a red mark appears where it has touched the animal's skin, thus showing the audience that the matador has been successful. The horses and bull then run out of the rlmj uninjured. THE TEREDO. Curious and Destructive Worm That Digs Tunnels In Wood. It was in 1731 that Holland narrowly escaped inundation along its coast because the timbers of the sea dikes in many parts were discovered to be quite unsound. The timely discovery of the real condition of the dikes saved the country from an awful catastrophe, the full extent of which was comprehended by only a few Dutchmen. The timbers had been honeycombed by the teredo, or shlpworm. This creature burrows Into any wood Immersed In sea water. It makes an entrance when young and digs channels along the grain of the wood, living and often, dying In the timber. The worm grows In some localities to a length of twelve Inches. Its girth being one and a half Inches, and the curious thing about its whiplike body is its exceeding tenderness. It cannot bear Its own weight It will break if subjected to any strain. It will burrow straight along the grain of the wood nnless turned aside by a knot or nail, and. no matter bow many of these worms may be burrowing In the same piece of wood, they never run their channels Into one another. By some Marvelous Instinct they keep clear of each other's preserves. We have seen a cross section of a log eighteen Inches In diameter, and we counted no fewer than 800 distinct burrows. Exchange.
