Selling Of Rails Eases
Stock Market Prices;
Most Declines Small
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. GA mod
crate amount of selling came into
the railroad section of the stock
market today and resulted in
general easing of prices.
Losses came to a little more
than a dollar a share on the out
side and were held below that
figure for the most part among
leading issues.
The volume of business was
comparatively small, but traders
noted a modest expansion, of in
terest when prices were moving
down.
In the railroad group Nickel
Plate was off nearly SIS at one time
without much trading. Other rails
were down by a dollar or less.
Missouri Pacific preferred, on the
other hand, posted a gain which
at times ran beyond a dollar.
Allegheny Corp. and associates
have offered $40 million of new
cash to facilitate Missouri Pacific
reorganization.
Oils lost ground led by Phillips
Petroleum which announced a
plan for tWo-for-one stock split.
Phillips reaction was contrary to
the usual response to announce
ment of split.
Among other backward groups
were steel, motors, chemicals and
the gold stocks.
Lower were New York Central,
Pennsylvania, Union Pacific, Texas
Co., Gulf Oil, Pan American World
Always, United Air Lines, Con-
solidated Edison, Kennecott Cop
per. Homestake Mining, Dome
Mines, Dow Chemical, Philip Nor
ris, Admiral Corp, Schenley In
dustries. j. I. Case, Montgomery
Ward, United States Rubber, Stu
debaker, Chrysler, General Motors.
Bethlehem Steel and United States
Steel.
Light buying was enough to
send railroad bonds ahead for
small gains. Treasures fell back
in the over-the-counter market
for the second day.

Clever OctopuSeS.

Americas first smoke-screen pro-
ducers have been wrongly called
devil fishes" This title rightly
belongs to a species of large tropi-
cal fish with gills and fins, fish
closely related to the skate.
The octopi are not large, hostile
| fighters. This reputation is chiefly
through the vivid description given
by Victor Hugo in his "Toilers of
the Sea-" wherein a human fought
a thrilling fight with a "polyp,"
by which he meant an octopus.
His illustrator the famous Gustave
Dore, gave his Imagination full
rein, and the octopus clan has
never lived down the imputation.
1 The members of the tribe are
mollusks, closely related to the
tcuttlefsh or squids, slugs, clans,
oysters and argonauts.
/ All day long they remain at home,
concealed among the rock crevices
their soft bodies clinging to the
surfaces, their suction discs holding
them fast.

alert, full of vigor and determine
ton. He must find food. ANY,
thing within reach of his long,
sucking disc arms Is in danger.
One long arm sweeps out circling
the prey. Seven other arms come
to its assistance. The victim is
swept to the center of the disc,
where the mouth is located. This
mouth is armed with a pair of
powerful, horny jaws, resembling
those Of the parrot. In short
time, the hunter is again fishing.
The favorite food is crab and
lobster.
Most octopuses have been pro-
vided with a large gland or sac,
near the liver. This is usually brim-
full of heavy, jet-black fluid. This
is forcibly elected through a funnel
or siphuncle under the head
When this link" comes in contact
with the water it expands into a
dense black cloud completely
battling pursuers.
At first sight, you wonder that
so large a creature can swim. This
| they expertly accomplish by draw.

of Cambridge explains 1t thus:
In old manuscripts and books vide

The king was silly fingered from the
