Chemical Industry Hits
New High In Last Quarter

The most profitable three months
period in the history of the chemi-
cal industry has just been record
ed. It is possible that early 1910
will see a slowing of this sensa-
tional pace, but for the year as a
whole, subject, of course. to the
same factors which will affect
business in general, 1910 may very
likely establish new records in ar
industry whose long-term growth
trend is still in the ascendant.
Twenty-Five years ago the chem
ical industry in the United States
had its real birth when war shut

Sometimes the black bear is call
ed the American bear. 1t lives all
over the United States where the
timber is thick enough. They weigh
from three to five hundred pounds.
He can out run a deer in a short
race. His feet are broad and flat
for walking on ice and in mud. He
sleeps from December to the first
of March. Just before he hibernates,
he is at his best. He is keenest,
quickest, and most powerful. His
hide is tough, but a strange thing
has happened. Nature has put a
layer of fat under his skin for
Y inter food. While the fat is form
ing, his stomach is shrinking until
it is no larger than a mans fist,
The bear has learned that clay
will heal his wounds. The cubs
come in tWos and sometimes fours
They are born during the winter
sleep. The bear cub is the smallest
animal born in relation to the size
of it's mother. At birth they are
about the size Of a common rat
The mother is unaware of them
so they have to look out for them
selves until she awakes, usually
about a month later. AS big as the
bear is, he would rather run than
