LOST Eastnesses Of Petroleum.

land Is the worlds largest island
supposed to be chiefly icebergs from
It's center to It's circumference; but
under the icebergs there is solid land,
containing many of the minemls that
the earth bears elsewhere.
Coal Is known to exist there, and
where coal is found petroleum often is.
1t has been searched for, from Green
lands icy mountains to midas coral
strands, but the icy mountains are still
unexplored. 1t Is evident that the oil

The world is being pretty well pep

Fish Encased in Heavy Armor.

Encased in a tiny box OF armor
which covers its entire body-only
eyes, mouth, fins and tail protruding,
the trunkfish of the tropical seas is
slowly-moving creature. SO heavy
and thick is this armor that one has
to give a fairly heavy blow with a
hammer to crack it. The armor is
made of many six-sided horny-plates.
and is beautiful thing in itself, as
well as a useful cover for its wearer.
One species of trunkfsh has two
long horns reaching out over the eyes.
1t is often called a cowtish, because
of these horns his head so much re-
sembles that of COW.

REBELS MADE POOR SHOWING
Daniel Shays' Followers in 1886 Caused
Massachusetts Government Lit
tie Real Trouble.

Shays' rebellion in Massachusetts In
17S6-87, arose from q spirit of unrest
and lawlessness then generally on the
Increase in the country but more par
ticularly for special reasons for dis
satisfaction in Massachusetts. The
time was one OF financial depression.
Five hundred or 600 malcontents
banded under command of Daniel
Shays. When the Court of General
Sessions attempted to sit at Worces-
ter, Shays filled the court room with
an armed force, and no court could be
held.
To cope with the insurgents Gov
ernor Bowdoin enlisted an army of A.
400 for 30 days. During an attack
on the Springfield arsenal four OF the
rebels were killed. They retreated in
much confusion, continuing their fight,
with many desertions from town to
town. In the pursuit $50 were taken
and the rest dispersed. The rebels
continued to gather in small bands for
many months, but no large force again
appeared.
Ciemency was shown to Shays and
his followers, but he had escaped to
Vermont, and lived there as fugitive
from justice even many months after
he had been pardOned Shays later
obtained a pension for services in the
Revolutionary war. There is testi-
mony that he was u good soldier.

sists the action of sea water, weaves
into fine cloth that bleaches and dyes
easily, and has unexcelled wearing
qualities. Afghan may replace some,

throughout the ages dependence has

be recognized as of considerable i'm

STEEL CORPORATION
QUARTERLY REPORT

The quarterly report of the
United States Steel Corporation
which was issued last on January
80. disappointed some SPECTATORS
because both dividends for the last
three months in 1922 were not
earned. and with something to spare
says Skilling's Review 1t is i'm
probable that any reasonable invest
or was disappointed, and that is
the main thing. The public has
learned to be glad to see condi-
tions steadily, if slowly, getting bet
ter.
The steel industry has passed
through two years of bad times and
profits did not begin to appear UNI
til after there had developed a
large volume of business.
The earnings on common stock of
the Steel Corporation for the final
quarter of 1922 were 81 cents per
share as compared with the $1.25
dividend for that period. Earnings
on common for the year were S2.85
as against 1924 in 1921. The
company during the last quarter set
aside $12,182,563 for depreciation
and sinking fund, which is compared
Vteh YOt-cO,OOV III Vic ldSt QudI Lei
of 1921. This increase also helps
explain why earnings to be applied
to dividend account did not meet
the expectation of many.
The good statements of some of
Il Q Independent steel companies for
the last quarter Of 1922 were es-
pecially encouraging, and the United
States Steel Corporation, which is
operating at high percentage Of cap
acity, may be expected to show very
satisfactory profits during 1928.
Many forget the long duh period
from which the industry has Just
emerged, when the iron and steel
companies booked business merely to
get business, and to encourage more
business, relying on conditions to
adjust themselves later. The iron
and steel industry of America dur.
ing that depressing two years dis
played extraordinary optimism and
did its full share to restore confid-
ence in others.

DON'T GET FUNNY
WITH THE NEWSPAPERS.

A little news item sent from Hib-
bling by practical jokers to the Du-
luth News Tribune several years
ago announcing the birth of baby
boy to prominent Hibbing dentist
and a purported wife in Mime
apolis, while the dentist was on a
vacation, causing him much embar-
rassment brought to light the need
OF a law making the practice of
giving newspapers false news, which
was passed by the state legislature
and signed by the governor Satur-
day.
Practical jokers and malicious
persons who amuse themselves by
sending false notices Of weddings,
engagements or other events to
newspapers will run foul of a new
law signed late Saturday by Gov
ernor j. A. o. Preus. 1t is q brief
and simple measure. Under it, any
one "wilfully, knowingly and mali
ciously" giving to newspaper a
false statement about any person
or corporation is guilty of mis-
demeanor. The law takes effect i'm
mediately.
Senator Chris Rosenmeier of Lit
tie Falls was author of the bill
passed. Representatives r. w. Hitch
