The navy department will re-

October on $4,000 tons of shapes
and plates for hull construction,
and in December, bids for $4,000
tons more will be called for. The
demand for steel for ships and
cars continues to be extremely
heavy and large tonnages were
ordered at Pittsburg during the
past week. 1t is estimated that
about 100000 tons of steel are
being used every month for the
making of munitions. but this rep
resents only about one-tenth Of
the steel being manufactured. In

principally from Italy and South
America, and some tonnages Of
good size for export have been
booked within the past week.
Much difficulty is experienced in
obtaining vessel capacity for pipe.

FOREST ROADS
Federal Road Act ApproprIates'
$1,000, 900 This Year.

The Secretary of Agriculture
has announced the plan to be pur-
sued in spending the $1O,0OO,O 900
appropriated by the Federal-aid
road act for the construction and
maintenance of roads and trails
within or partly within national
forests, and tentatively has allot-
ted among the various national
forest states the 100000 which

The tentative allotments to the
principal national forest states
are as follows: Alaska, SAG, 28O;
Arizona, $59,795; Arkansas, $11,-
294; California, $140,7O3; Colo

$127,794 South Dakota, $8,115;
Utah, $40,982; Washington, $751;
739; Wyoming, $4O,566. In adj

has been tentatively assigned to
the group of states-Florida,

North Dakota and Oklahoma
while the group Of Eastern states
New Hampshire, Vir-

and Georgian which the gov

national forests, has been allotted
a lump sum of $21,O57.
In general, the states and coun-
ties will be required to furnish
cooperation in an amount at least
equal to so per cent of the esti-
mated cost of the surveys and
construction. However, upon a
satisfactory showing by the appli-
can't state or county that such
proportion Of cooperation is in
equitable, it may be altered and
the ratio of cooperation fixed up
on basis equitable to both state
or county and the United States.
The method followed in appor-

Ten per cent Of the amount avail
able each year will be held as
contingent fund. One-half of the
remainder will be allotted to the

Of possible results Of the strike,
and new business has developed
rapidly during the past few days.
This is particularly true of pig
iron, for which there is a wide
spread inquiry, not confined to
any particular grades. The fur
naces are disposed to take a con-
sentative stand on prices for de-
livery after the first quarter Of
next year, because Of the uncer-
tainty as to ore prices. Inquiry
for export is very active and is
coming from Italy, France, Nor
way, New Zealand and other
countries. Sales in the Chicago
district for export amount to
about 10000 tons. Inquiries of
foreign countries now include
foundry grades as well as steel
making iron, for which the de-
mand has been active for some
time.
Shipments of iron ore from the
Lake Superior ranges for Aug
ust set a new record, the move
ment being $3.50, 40 tons, or
99,9S3 tons more than the tonnage
shipped in July. The shipments
to date amount to 39,215,S64 tons,
an increase of 12,409,444 tons
over the same period in 1915, and
it is evident that the vessels will
have no difficulty i'm moving co.
100000 tons before the close of
navigation.
Production of coke and anthra-
cite pig iron in August amounted
to 3,200,S72 tons, loss of 20,255
tons, compared with July. The
daily average also shows a loss,
the figures being 103,254 tons for
August, compared with 103,907
for July. This loss is due to the
excessive heat of August and to

For the man to whom the mys-

problems which have bai1ied the
cleverest brains for generations and
in many cases for long centuries and
still remain as far from solution as
ever.
If he is automatically inclined
he can win immortal fame BY solv-
ing the problem Of how to square
the circle. The eleverest brains Of
all ages and countries have wrestled
in vain to discover exactly the Tela-
ton between the circumference and
the diameter of circle.
One Dutch professor gave nearly
fifty years Of his life to the task.
He worked out the equation to over
zoo places Of decimals and was then
little nearer the end of his calcula-
tions than when he began.
No less elusive is the square root
of two. Thousands Of years in the
aggregate have been spent in en-
deavoring to make this calculation.
It has been worked out to Ill
places Of decimals BY one enthusi-
asst, but the exact square root re-

Only the experts understand that
the north pole and the north mag
netic pole are two entirely different
things. AZ a matter Of fact, there
are few localities on the earth's sur
face where the compass points due
north. The reason is because the
north magnetic pole or area lies IN
the vicinity Of King Williams Land,
Just OH the arctic coast Of North
America, in Bothnia.
When this magnetic pole is be-
tween us and the north pole the
compass points due north. AS we
90 either east or west from this line
It is easy to see that the compass is
off to certain degree. If we were
to travel north Of the magnetic pole
the needle would point south; west
Of it the needle would point east.
Sir James Ross in 1881 located
the north magnetic pole approx
mately at point up in Bothnia.
In 1908 Captain Road Amundsen
in the ship Gjoa set ont on a three
years expedition, relocated the mag
netic pole and made the northwest
passage" for which mariners have
striven since the days Of Henry
Hudson.
Terrestrial magnetic force is DIFF
ferent in every part Of the earth's
surface and is not always the same
1t a given point. II is subject TO
regular daily and yearly changes.
Amnndsen posted himself near
the seat Of the magnetic power and
for nineteen months, day and night,
with his party, took readings Of
their instruments. both inclination
and declination. He also made
short excursions into the region Of
the magnetic pole and was able BY
the aid Of the declination observa-
tions TO prove that the magnetic
north pole does not have a station
airy situation, but is continually
moving.
