WHY BUSINESS LOOKS BETTER

In the August American Magazine
a we'll known American banker writes
an article entitled 1.-The Money Side
o. War" which is FUN Of newsy and
important financial facts. OF the pres
snt business prospects in this coun-
try he says in part:
Suppose we come back now to
the situation in America: Those per-
picking and even agonizing days seem
now to have passed. There has, in
effect, been tremendous reversal
of conditions. Money is easy; we
are importing gold on good scale,
having already brought back over
$50 900, coo of what we sent out last
year. Our stock exchanges are open
ed, with the trading free as air; not
hampered by the minimum limits
which still rule on the London Stock
Exchange AS to foreign holdings OF
cur securities, they are still being
sold to us in large volume, and we
are easily absorbing them. We even
welcome such sales, for they serve
to ease up the foreign exchange sit
uation, which now has turned almost
as >heavily in our favor as, last Sep
tember, it was against us.
In fact, sterling exchange has
now fallen to point far below nor
NAL around 47S and 479, while francs
are at $50. German marks. are at
y per cent discount. This of course
is as bad for the foreigners as the
high rate was bad fer us. 1t means
now that the Allies, who are buying
munitions Of war, grain and other sup
plies here, at rate of, l suppose,
net less than $5,O00,000 day, are
obliged to lose heavily in each pay
ment.
Many Of our manufacturers and
merchants have been doing wonder
full business in articles relating to
the war So heavy have been these
war orders, running into the hun
dreds cf millions of dollars, that
now their effect is beginning to
spread to general business which,
even if it is still depressed, shows
distinct signs of improvement.
''And climax to all this improve
ment America is becoming large
factor in the international loan mark
ct. These foreign leans have been
so scattered that perhaps the total
of them has not been fully apprecia-

FAIRBANKS TIMBER
 RESERVE BEEN EXTENDED.

The Juneau land office has ln- structed the Fairbanks land office that all timber lands for five miles on both sides of the railroad have been withdrawn from entry. A for mer order was to the effect that the timber land reserved was along that portion of the right of way between Broad Pass and the Matanuska river. The new order extends the reserva- tion down the Nenana river from Broad Pass, thence up the Gold stream Valley and through to Fair banks.
 It has been explained by the offi- cials of the Fairbanks land office that the order means that the timber along the right of way of the rairoad is placed in the hands of the Alaska Railway Commission. The commis- sion therefore has the right to do with the timber as it pleases. Appli- cations for timber cutting permits in

GEOLOGIC PERIODS.
Stories of Time Told by FossiIized
 Plants and Animals.

Plants and Animals.
 Scientists hesitate to estimate geo. logical time in terms of years. Such estimates have, however, been made, and one published by Professor Charles Schuchert in 1910 states that about 12,OOO,OOO years have elapsed since the close of the carboniferous age, an age, as the name suggests, in which great deposits of carbon, in coal, were being formed in many parts of the world. This age has been divided by geolo- gists into the Mississippian, Pennsyl- vanian and permian epochs, of which the Mississippian is the oldest and the Permian the youngest. The Pennsyl- vanian epoch alone is estimated by Schuchert to have covered 2,16O,O0O years, and animal life is supposed to have existed on the earth for over 14,- 100000 years before that time.
 Geologic periods are recognized pri- marily by the animals and plants that lived in them. so that the study of fossils plays very real and important part in the progress of geologic knowl- edge.
 Rocks of carboniferous age. as shown by their fossils. have a wide distribu- tion in the United States, and they are apt to abound in these remains of plant and animal life. The fossil shells which are found in them. however, may vary greatly from point to point, because the animals they represent lived in different periods of geologic time or in different regions in the car boniferous Ocean.-Argonaut.

GREEK RESERVES CALLED HOME
 
King Constantine Has Finally Been Forced to Order Mobilization
 of Greek Army.

PARIS, Sept. 24.-Little doubt re- mains but that Bulgaria is preparing to enter the war as an ally of the Teutons and that it is only a matter of a short time before all the Balkan nations will be engaged in the strug- gle.
 King Constantine, who has strong ly opposed the military party of Greece in it's efforts to force the en- pire into war with Turkey in hopes of securing territorial concessions, has at last been forced to call his sub- jects to arms and is mobilizing an army of nearly two million men, to resist the invasion of Serbia by the Teutonic allies.
 Twenty classes have been called to arms and Greek residents in all Bal kan states have been notified to re- turn home. It is believed that the mobilization of the Bulgarian army on the borders of Rumania and Greece will be followed by declara- tion of war by Bulgaria against Ru- mania and that all the Balkan states, which have maintained armed neu- trality, will be in the war before the close of the month.

TONNAGE OF 4 VESSEL.
Just What it Is and the Methods b>
 Which 1t Is Measured.

Just What it Is and the Methods by
 Which 1t Is Measured.
 To find the tonnage or displacement of ship is rather puzzling. The ton mage of Il ship is the measure of it's cubical or carrying capacity expressed in tons. At the present time there are four methods in use of expressing the tonnage of a ship, known respectively as the gross tonnage, the net register tonnage, the deadweight tonnage and the displacement tonnage.
 In calculating the gross tonnage the whole interior capacity of the ship be- low the tonnage deck is found, includ- ing that of all covered in spaces on deck used for stowage, and the result in cubic feet is divided by 100.
 The net register tonnage is the gross tonnage minus all the spaces used for the accommodation of the crew and instruments and the working parts of the ship. It is on the net register ton- mage that almost invariably dues are paid.
 The deadweight tonnage is the meas ure of the exact amount of cargo that a ship can carry without sinking too deep in the water.
 The displacement tonnage is the space occupied by the ship in the wa ter. The amount of water displaced by ship is, of course, equal in weight to the ship and all it contains. As one ton is equal to thirty-five cubic feet of water, the displacement ton mage is found by dividing the number of cubic feet of water displaced by thirty-five when the ship is immersed up to its draft or load line.-London Standard.
