BEEBE SPEAKS
OF ADVENTURES
DIR. William Beebe, Scientist,
Who Visited Ocean Bottom
Spoke in Mitchell Hall
TOLD OF EXPERIENCES

DIR. William Beebe, the daring
scientist who recently made the
thrilling descent to a depth of 3028
feet in the waters of the Atlantic
Ocean off Bermuda, gave his SEN
sational lecture Five Hundred
Fathoms Deep" in Mitchell Hall,
University of Delaware, Newark,
on Saturday evening. This was
one of the entertainments for this
college year arranged by the Uni
versity Hour Committee. DrBee-
be, in his descent, reached a world
of blue-black midnight of the
ocean never entered by a living
human being before. Sealed in a
huge steel or bathysphere, attach
ed by cable to barge, he reached
a depth that permitted him to
make a study of marine life to a
depth of half mile. A window
of fused quartz, strong enough to
Withstand the pressure of nine
tons of water, yet clearer than
glass, afforded to DR.. Beebe an op-
portunity to record, study and
sketch the mysterious life that
swan past his vision. In constant
telephone communication with a
stenographer seated on the deck OF
the barge overhead. he dictated his
observations and impressions OF
the hidden mysteries OF the sea-
His lecture will be illustrated.

NOW AND THEN
A few years ago the Winter was
always a dull season in all our
shops, but this order has been
quite reversed with the Messrs. G..
w. & S. Taylor. They are now
running on full time and with a
full force in the manufacture of
the Little Diamond Cultivator.
They have this week unloaded a
car load of iron and one of steel
to be used in the manufacture of
this implement that is so rapidly
growing in popularity. They ex-
pect to get up over two hundred
of these cultivators for their
Spring trade. To do which they
will consume % tons or more of
iron and about 10 tons of steel.
They have made several improve
ments in this machine over that
of last Spring, improvements, how
ever, which do not materially eff
feet it's cardinal points except to
give it greater merit as a manu-
factured article. The improve
ments made add to its neatness
in appearance, give it greater
strength and hence add to its dur
ability, and make it more convent
ent for shipment to distant points
One improvement of special NOM
ent is the addition of plows by
which in the simple substitution of
plow, made for the purpose, for
a cultivator tooth the implement
is changed into a dauble plow of
decided merit. This implement is
the invention of the Messrs. Tay-
lor and has been patented by them
The demand for it has far sur
passed their most sanguine expec-
tations. Last year they made 80
of these machines and this years
product may reach 300. At this
rate of increas we will have in a
few years in the manufacture of
this one agricultural implement an
industry of immense proportions.
This firm is now quite busy with
the manufacturer of corn shelters,
both hand and power. In connec-
ton with this latter they also
make a cheap and very durable
horse power, so that they are
ready to supply the complete out
fit. Added to the several articles
of manufacture which demand
their attention is an endless var
iety Of repair work, making, in
all, their works one of business
now in contradistinction to what it
was few years ago. We are glad
to note this advance and success,
for, commensurate with the pros
perity of our manufacturing in
dustries is that of our town.

ISSUE OF NOV. 18TH, 1884

Taken from our old files of

date of this issue as possible
Fifty Years Ago. This column,
now a regular feature of the
Times, will call to mind people
and events of the older genera
tion.

The matter vas about to be placed II
our files of finished business, when V
man who had just arrived from Maid'
en-, threw a bomb shell into our mech
ing by saying that the new LOCATED,
was far above any of the falls. It VIII
near Sand Coulee OF the south sid j
of the river. He said that they were
not depending on steamboats,, a rail-
road was coming. They even expected
it to build a bridge across the river to
their town.
At this point we began to prophesy
with clamor and shouting. AS I took
part and as every prophecy was a flop,
I am reluctant to make any disclosures.
I understand that in spite of prenatal
curses, Great Falls is doing very well.
Frontier Hardships
Perhaps our sympathies are I'M
necessarily stirred by the hardships of
the pioneers. Hardships there were to
be sure, with disappointments and dis
tress, but frontier folks were evidently
made Of good leather, at least they
never leaped from 14th story windows.
Our train was clicking off the miles,
northbound through Idaho, to Mon

inches, distressed and w~indswept, cov-
cred the ground but did not conceal the
stubble and weeds. o the short grass
of the pasture land. The landscape had
a dirty appearance, the drab picture
being completed by a cold leaden sky
through which no ray of sun could
penetrate.
We were following the general course
of the old emigrant road over which
the Wisconsin party had passed 80
years before. Mother occasionally &C.
ognized a landmark as we gazed
through the broad window of ur diner.
The contrast between the bleak Dun
tryside and the luxury of our surround
ings-white napery, shining tableware,
genial warmth, and obsequious service
was so complete that I said, your
journey through this country in 1879
must have been a terrible experienced"
A look of surprise spread over my
mothers face and she said, why,
John, we were young. The weather was
fine. There were plenty of fish and

Mrs. Morse and I were the only women
in the party-we never touched our
hands to dishwater. It was the time of
my life"

LIES
ASSETS INCREASE
FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF MON
TANA LIFE INSURANCE FIRM IS
EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD

While the Montana Life Insurance
company has long been recognized as
one Of the strongest life insurance in
stitutions in the country, the figures
in its annual report for Dec. 81, 1888,
reveal an e stronger financial DO
sition than before.
In line with the trend Of all com-
panies, the Montana Life shows a de-
cline in insurance in force to $41, 1885,
AS but an outright increase in the
ratio Of its assets to liabilities.
It's assets increased from 2,183,-
405. IS at the end Of 1882 to $12, 319, SOL 10
at the close of 1888. Through careful
management and sharp scrunity of all
expenses it has steadily shown a strong
er ratio Of assets to liabilities in the
past four years. In 1880 the ratio was
114.89 per cent. In 1881, 1861 per cent,
in 1882, 1873 per cent, increasing to
1913 per cent in 1888.
More than half Of the company's as
sets are liquid, consisting of u. s.
Treasury certificates, cash and bonds.
Considered a remarkable record under
conditions existing the past few years
is the fact that only eight small blocks
Of bonds were in default Dec. 81, 1888.
All other bonds owned by the company
are carried on the amortized basis, but
the bonds in default are carried at act
ual market value Dec. 81, 1888 of $29,-
1875, which represents less than one
fourth of n per cent of the company,s
total assets.
Also exceptional is the Montana LIES
record in regard to real estate hold
ingS. While a trifle o than ten
per cent of the company's investments
are in mortgage loans, the real estate
owned totals only 4.43 per cent of which
1.54 per cent represents the home office
building at Helena. Its actual cost in
1924 wa $245 S 1922 but it is carried
on the books at only $189, 537.17.
Montana is of the few states,
which, for the better protection of pol
icyholders, requires all legal reserves
to be placed on deposit with it. Re-
serves required by law of the Montana
Life to be kept on deposit total So
2 O,472.14, but the statement shows the
company has actually deposited $10,-
CTS, 865. 86.
For the additional protection Of
policyholders the company has a pol
icyholder's surplus of 81, 500 1000. In
addition it set up a contingency re-
serve of s478, 578.53 making a total for
the protection of policyholders nearly
two million dollars in excess of the pol
icy reserves.
To the growing recognition by the
public of the Montana LIES excep-
tional financial position is credited the
company's new business issued in 1888
exceeding by five per cent the amount
issued in 1882, whereas the average for
all companies showed a decline of IA
per cent.

Corporal Arthur Bulger, third men,
Der of the group charged with the theft,

COUNTY FIGHTS
SELLING TRICK

Residents Of Chevy Chase,
particularly the section where the
East.West Highway crosses Con-
necticut Ave., are raising strenuous
objection to the advertising tactics
pursued by q we'll known soap
company and it is understood they
soon will present a petition to
Robert Hagner, County Commis-
sioner for that district, asking a
ban on the advertising.
The men employed by the soap
firm station themselves at the
intersection, one on each corner,
and endeavor to lure passing
motorists to the curb with an
offer Of q free box Of soap flakes.
The motorist Is drawn to the curb
and she (their victims are usually
women) is given q high-powered
sales talk designed to make her
purchase q box Of cake soap.
The feature to which the resi-
dents of the area object, however,
is not so much the sales attack
as that these statesmen, or sample
tossers, constitute a serious traffic
hazard by Turing a number OF cars
to pull up at the curb.
