TANJONG PAGAK DOCK LU.
The Singapore correspondent of Commercial' Intelligence betrays grava uneasiness apent the future of Tanjong Pagar-bis fears, which wo trust are groundless, being based upon the dia comforting apprehension that the Crown & genta may be allowed to take a hand in the purchase of stores, etc. for the proposed great extensions. On that issue he writes:-"Another important point to be considered is whether the Crown - Agente shall be allowed to control the purcha te of stores, engage men, and draw commis. sions. If the Crown Agents are allowed to have anything whatever to do with the matter Singapore might as well let the present state of affairs continue. The Colony cannat oñord to pay commissions to the Crown Agents, por can it afford to have repeated here the Colombo. tug boat fiasco or the Colombo coaling jetties failure. As business men, the new Board will know how to get the best value for their mo ney. If the Board is to do its work thoroughly, it should be insisted upon, before each indivi dual member takes office, that it should be entirely free from domination by the Crown Agents. With the farce of the construction of the Singapore-Kranji Railway always before their eyes one has hopes of the new Board showing a bold front to the Crown Agents.". Judging from the list of members of the new Board, the local correspondent of Commercial Intelligence will have had his fears dissipated by this time, and will doubtless have on- nounced that fact to his paper. The gentle- mea pow in charge of the destinies of Tanjong, Pogar are intelligent membora of a com mercial community whose interests aro dia-

A MYSTERIOUS MONUMENT.
WHY DOES STONE MOVE?
In the cemetery at Marion, Ohio, there is a monument which has attracted widespread at.
a standard fn setting tention, especially anyong the scientists of the Stare. Resting upon a large stone base is a stone ball inches in diameter, weighing 4,200. pounds. For some time past, says the New York Tribune, the stone has been slowly turn. ing upon its base, revolving about a horizontal axis in a direction from north to south. All sorts of theories have been advanced to explain the phenomenon, but no decision has been eached. The ball originally rested in a sockel- provided on the base, the spat on the ball which fitted in the die not being polished. A few years ago Mr. C. B. Merchant, a local banker, erected the meatment. In August, 1904, an employe of the cemetery observed that the unpolished spot of the ball had be coine visible, and that the ball had revolved oorly 20 inches in a northerly direction from regular systematic inspection of the pheno menon has been made, the result being in on questionable establishment of proof that the ball is continuously and regularly moving. Ba.. tween August and December examidations show that the ball has moved five inches.

An investigation showed that the ball in no way had been fastened to its base the builder expecting that its weight would hold it in place. When the matter was reported to them they replied by saying that they had never lat their experience heard of such a phenomenon." all sorts of inquiries were made, bringing a varied lot of replies and explanation. The State geologist, Mr. E. Orton, assigns the rola tion to two causes. First, the ball becomes more heated in the sunshine than the heavy base and consequently expands more, giving. rite to a slight creoping. The ensuing con. imction, he says, is probably not enough to take a the displacement caused by the beat in the earlier part of the day, Secondly, the circumference of the sphere probably lengthens out on one side, giving rino to a pull.ng areas between the ball and base upon which it rests, All sorts of ludicrous explanations have been offered, prominent among which is one by a. person who maintains that it is the work of the spirits." Some have even gone so far as to say that some miscreant has been playing a jake on the cemetery officials. Those expound- ing this theory hold that when the employs first nde his discovery, the news if which was pub hed in the local papers, this miscreant be en his work of peping it around liule by little from time to time. Of course, no creden
e is given to this story. The ball is far too heavy for that. So the mystery remains.
BOTTLES AND APPENDICITIS.,
The danger of appendicitis run by thor who a in the habit of drinking noncoholic beverages from bottles fitted with red rubber- rings is a topic in the "Lance?."
¿
Red rubber, it is atserted, contains a con- siderable amount of antimony. This metal, maintains Dr. Pond, who is responsible for she indictment of the rubber, is known to ba exceedingly deleterious to the stomach and digestive organs. In its action on them ha sees the key to the mystery of the ever-increa ing number of people suffering, from appen- dicitis and similar diseases, traceable again to the employment of the rubber rings in bottles.
The rubber becomes broken by use, and non-intoxicating beverages dissolve the an. timony contained in the fragments. The pieces are swallowed as a rule at meal time, when the stomach is full of food. Owing to the relaxing effect of aniimony on the muscles, a slight movement of the body only is then required to force one of the fragments into the blind canal, and appendicitis follows, A
In support of his new theory Dr. Pond quotes, sveral cases.

In cos instance the only person in a family of wine who drank non-alcoholic fielda' was subject to appendicitis Nine of his own. patients who suffered from the disease were. confirmed in the use of such driaks; while during the last few years he has met with num bers of otherwise healthy persons suffering A from stomachic complaints, the patients in each instance being addicted to drinking from bott iles Atted with red rubber rings.
