RARE MINERALS IN DEMAND
Among Norway's older Rocks Have
Been Discovered Substances Of
Great Scientific Interest.

In various parts of Norway cop
per is found and has been worked
from time to time, but the deposits
have thus far proved poor and linn
tied in extent, and none of the mines
have been commercial successes, The
same may be said of the few deposits
Of coal and iron. 1t seems possible,
however, says the Popular Science
monthly, that Norway may find an
unlooked-for value in some of her
deposits Of minerals Of rare elements,
for which at any time there may be
a great demand. Among her older
rocks have already been discovered
many minerals of great scientific in
terest, including Broeggerite, the
most radioactive of known minerals.
Nevertheless, it is to her unrivaled
water-power that Norway must pri-
marily look for her industrial devel-
opment.

why HARLAN SMOKED STOGlE
Couldn't Afford High Priced Cigar and
Couldn't Tell Difference Between
Stogie and Expensive Smoke.

The humor of the late Justice
Harlan of the United States
Supreme court was sparkling and
spontaneous. 1t came at unexpect-
ed moments and apparently without
generalization. His manner of
speech at such times was often so
serious and stern that additional
spice was lent to what he said.
"Do you smoke? ?" he asked a
guest seated on the yeTanda of his
house one day.
To which the guest replied,
"About twice a year, Mr.. Justice"
"Well, then, take a s%emi-annual
with me-" suggested the justice,
handing his guest a cigar-'that is,
if you can stand a Pittsburg stogie.
81 smoke these for two reasons, %
continued the justice. "First, be-
cause they are cheap-they cost me a
cent and a half apiece and | can't
afford a higher priced cigar-and
second, because l can't tell the diff
ference between one of these and a
more expensive smoke"
