Finds Long, Lost Tank. !
PROM the Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Sparta, Wis.-Worknen engaged IN
making an excavation here felt the
thrill known only to successful treasur
hunters when their implements struck
what seemed to be q huge chest, buried
several feet underground. They dug
around the obstruction and as the earth
was feverishly thrown aside the object
took on the form a cylinder. Nor Were
the wild imaginings of h discoveries
entirely d~issipated when at last 1t was
revealed thai a 10000 gallon tank
of gasoline had been unearthed.
The big steel tank had reposed in its
seclusion, unaffected by the ~ballconing
prices, for 20 years. The state recovered
q treasure. for the tank belongs 10
the state school here. How and when
and why it vas buried was a mystery
at first, but later some old timers re-
membered that q score or more years
ago the institution used gasoline and
that it was purchased in large quanti-
ties at 81 low price. AS Il safety first
measure the tank was buried TO guard
against explosions. 1t is presumed that
this particular tank was buried and
through a change i'll administration its
location was forgotten.
The commonwealth realizes a profit
of about 5000 by the discovery. The
liquid probably cost 10 cents a gallon;
now it is worth 80 cents, OF better. The
contents of the tank We're inspected as
to quality and pronounced high grade.

Measure of Damages for infringement
Of Copyriahted SONG.

The case OF Haas VS.. Leo Feist, 1884 Fed

ment Of copyright OF a song ,pathetically
nat financial failure, possibly because the
public is as little interested IN the lamen-

the sorrowfnl eaclaimings of a deposed
'~'Southpaw." Or mayhan the talk of pre-
paredness. pro and con. had temporarily
turned the public attention from love
songs to war and peace hymns. For when
the erstwhile famous song Il Didn't
Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier came out
and it's chorus contained the music of the
first-named song, Yet the martial sons
sales during the first three months OF
1915 totaled more than SO, 600 copies.
The United States district court, SOUTH

instance the publisher made a bona fide
