portion stock which I purchased some months
ago at 21N. Is this stock considered good
investment, or is 1t speculative proposition?
What dividends have they paid. and what do
you consider the future of this stock as an
investment ?--p F. H.
Answer--Anglo-Am Commercial
Corporations earnings have increased
recently, so it is unofficially stated, and
are now said to. be at the rate of 81 a
share. The stock is still speculative,
but has possibilities. The company
pays no dividends as yet.
American Zinc Preferred
Question-Will you give me your. opinion
as an investment? Ar1 ! correct in the
understanding that it is $25 par stock sell
ing around $56 and paying Sc share divi-
I'll. n. H.
Answer-The American Zinc Com
pany found it necessary to go into it's
surplus in 1918 in order to pay its full
dividend of Sc share on the preferred
stock. The stock actually earned about
$3.75 share. For the first two quar-
ters of 1919 there was a deficit of
$14,601, but the third quarter showed a
surplus of 1857 1857. Higher prices for
zinc and lead helped the company's
earnings. AS of December 81, 1913, the
general balance sheet showed profit and
loss surplus of $4,937,157. The stock
is entitled to fair investment rating.
The par value is $25, and the stock
pays $6 per annum, or "a per cent. Its
present price is about $56 share.
Inquiries About Sinclair Dividends
Question-Am particularly interested In
your information in regard to Sinclair Con-
soldated Oil. If this is such large and
we'll managed concern, operating exten-
sively, why do they not pay some dividends,
or what are the prospects of any future
dividends? 1t strikes me that concern of
this size, in order to be classed in the
larger oil groups, should pay some dividend.
Is the company well and conservativeiy man.
aged &c. @. S.
Answer-Sinclair Consolidated Oil is
said to be we'll and conservatively
managed property. Perhaps the con-
servatism of the management will some
day be of considerable benefit to its
stockholders. There are some oil COM
panies which pay dividends the day be-
fore they start to operate. There IS
no information obtainable regarding
the dividend policy of Sinclair Oil.

Highly Dangerous Gas.

Carbon monoxide, a constituent of Illuminating gas and a substance given off by coal-fire burning with a smokeless flame, is so deadly that its use as poison gas in war has been considered. It proved unsuitable for this purpose, but is source of danger in closed spaces where there are leaky gas pipes, the fumes from automobiles in operation, or the dis charge of exhaust gases from explo- sion engines. Industrial and coal mining risk from it is so great under certain conditions that a special ab- sorbent for use for masks has been de- vised. This material has been named hopealite, and originally consisted of a mixture of 50 per cent of mangan- csc dioxide. 30 per cent of copper OK idle, 15 per cent of cobalt dioxide and 5 per cent of silver oxide. Slightly modified since the first trials, the com position Is stated to work effectively in gas canister absorbing the carbon monoxide from the air breathed, ex- cept when impaired by accumulation of moisture.

CITY OF ANCIENT GLoRIEs
Lima, Peru, In the Past, Was a Capl- tai of Color and of Almost
 Eternal Carnival.

One must not think of the modern city of Lima, materially enlarged but spiritually diminished, deposed from her original supremacy over the Amer ican southwest to the point of losing her own characteristic stamp, with her regional customs forgotten aKd distig- ured by bastard and outlandish edi- fees and marred in her surroundings by the decline and neglect of her country seats and the death of her an cient woodlands.
 We must think of her as she was in her most propitious years. in the first two centuries of her foundation; crowned with olive trees and orange trees, amid the shimmering curtains of willow groves and banana planta- lions made fragrant in her patios and gardens by violets, carnations, convolvuli, abundance and sweet bas- ils: the land of flowers and of per- fumed waters; the Indian capital of lofty and solid towers, of balconies and flat roofs, of tiles and shuttered blinds, of skirts and mantles almost Afoorish. whose disguise maintained an

x-Ray Movies.

The newest invention in photog- raphy is the X-Ray moving picture. It has been possible, of course. to look through ones body and make pictures of living organs, but now every move ment of every part of the body may be reproduced on the screen. The slightest movement of the heart, the muscles, joints, intestines and lungs can be watched for hours at time. Sach pictures are expected to be of the greatest importance to medicine and surgery and make possible many new cures. These pictures have been made so far of animals only but hu- man beings will soon be filmed in the same way. The human body will have no secrets in future which the physician and surgeon cannot read Boys Life.

WIT THAT LIVES
Collection of the Best of Mark
 Twain's Humor.
eathered by Albert BiseIow Paine. the Great Humorist's Best Friend His Brilliancy as Editor of
 Agricultural Paper.

Albert Bigelow Paine, who was n constant companion of Mark Twain Tor years, who wrote his life and re- gently edited his letters, has now gone through the writings of the humorist and gleaned the choicest bits. These bits. the distilled wisdom of many vol umes," he has brought out in a small book called Moments With Mark Twain" The following extract, "How Edited an Agricultural Paper" is taken from his sketches written in 1S65-67:
 In about half an hour an old gentle man, with flowing beard and fine but rather austere face, entered and sat down at my invitation. He seemed to have something on his mind. He took off his hat and set 1t on the floor, and got out red silk handkerchief and copy of our paper.
 He put the paper on his lap, and while he polished his spectacles with his handkerchief, he said, Are you the editorY"
 I said was.
 Have you ever edited an agricul- tural paper before?"
 "No." I said, "this is my first at tempt"
 'Very likely. Have you had any ex- perience in agriculture, practically" i "No; believe I have not"
 "Some instinct told me-" said the old gentleman. putting on his specta- cles and looking over them at me with asperity. while he folded his paper into convenient shape. q wish to read you what must have made me have that instinct. It was this edi- torial. Listen, and see if 1t was you who wrote 1t:
 "Turnips should never be pulled; it injures them. It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.'
 "Now, what do you think of that?- for I really suppose you wrote it."
 "Think of it, Why, think it is good. I have no doubt that every year millions and millions of bushels of turnips are spoiled in this township alone by being pulled in a half-ripe condition, when if they had sent boy up to shake the tree"
 "Shake your grandmother Turnips don't grow on trees!"
 "Oh, they don't don't they? Well, who said they did? The language was intended to be figurative, wholly figurative. Anybody that knows any thing will know that meant that the boy should shake the vine."
 Then this old person got up and tore his paper all into small shreds, and stamped on them, and broke several things with his cane, and said l did not know as much as COW; and then went out and banged the door after him, and, in short, acted in such way that I fancied he was displeased about something. But not kpe6wing what the trouble was, could xot be any help to him.

RUSS FEAST DAY
Pretty Ceremonies Described by
 American Traveller.
singing and Dancing by Peasant elrls and Boys Chief Feature of the occasion--survivaI of
 Primitive Customs.

It was the Feast of Transfiguration. ana from all the countryside around came the poor, the crippled and the aged. Again and again we heard the tapping of a cane and q pIaintiva voice asking aims radi Christa, for tile Christ's sake. Yanishev and I dropped few kopeks into the bags they thrust before them. The women Iolowed with large pieces cut from the pig black loaves, while Ivan in each sack solemnly deposited a great green cucumber. This year cucum- pers were scarce, as it was from Ivan true gift of love But whether we gave cucumber or bread or kopeks pack to each of us came the plaintive sing-song blessing of the beggar. Even the toughest, poorest Russian peasant IS moved to profound pity by the spec tacle of human misery. His own life reaches him the meaning of pain and privation. But they do not dull his sympathy. They make him more sen- sitive to the sufferings of others.
 NOW from the farther end of the vil- lage came the strains of music. There was a chorus of young voices accom- panied by the drumming of the bal aiaika, the changing of cymbals and the throbbing of the bouben, a kind of tambourine. Clearer and clearer came the music until suddenly around the corner of the church emerged the pro- cession of players and singers. The girls were in the gay rich costumes of the peasants, and the boys wore smocks of green and orange and brightest blue, belted by cords with tasseled ends. The instruments were in the hands of the boys. The girls sang in response to the precentor. He was clean-lOOking, tousel-haired lad of seventeen, one of the last to be \ drafted to the front. In clear, lusty voice with an abandon of emotion he sang an old folk song, adding new verses of his own as he strode along.
 Three times they circled the vil- lage green, and then gathering on the grass before the church, they sang and danced till morning. The rush and joyous fling of the dancers, the fam. Ing, colored costumes In the light of the pine torches, the laughter and snatches of song rising out of the dark, the young lovers with their caresses frank and unashamed, the church bell at intervals crashing like a great tenn pie gong, and the startled birds wheel. ing overhead made ar impression of primitive energy and beauty. was carried back across the centuries to the days when the race was young and the men drew life and inspira- tion directly from the soil.-Albert Rhys Williams in Yale Review.
