How are they Kept in circulation? They are sponsored by various Merchants and other business and professional men under an agreement with the issuing organization to keep them in circulation by clearing them once a week through the clearing exchange in much the same way as bank checks and other commercial papers are now cleared thru the bankers clearing house, and through such clearing and the Exchange tokens attached by the sponsors and others accepting them in the course of business transactions should be made to mature in approximately thirty weeks from the date of issue. It is estimated that they will, safely mature within one year from such date. .. How. is the distribution of their earnings determined? They are registered as sold, forty per cent, in the name of the Merchant sponsoring same, twenty per cent, in the name of the issuing organization, twenty per cent in the name of the buyer, and twenty percent in the name of some mutually interested organized group, such as the Mormon Priesthood Quorums, relief societies, ward organizations or other religious, fraternal or groups, and the earnings will be distributed in like per cent to the registered holders of same.

"We knew nothing about the Central Polar basin, whereas at present we know precisely the depths prevailing in the proximity of the North Pole, and we can say with certainty that the Arctic ocean represents a cup, the deepest parts of which are located in the vicinity of the North Pole. "Until lately we had no idea of the direction of the warm current of the Gulf stream in the northern latitudes; now we know that even on the pole there passes a powerful current of comparatively warm AW lantlc water. We knew nothing about the drift of the polar ice floes in this region inaccessible to man. Now we know that the drift generally proceeds in the southwestern direction toward the area situated between Spitsbergen and Greenland. We formerly could only conjecture in the past on the weather conditions characterizing the climatic peculiarities of the area near the pole whereas at present we know that comparatively high temperatures of the air prevail there during the summer season.

Twenty Iron Men Busy in Tiny Logging Camp" Stevens Point, Wis. From pieces of scrap iron and steel Eric has constructed a miniature sawmill complete with steam engine, logging sleighs, flatcars and miniature pine trees. Kedrowicz, a barber by trade, has placed his miniature sawmill on a wooden platform fourteen feet long and four feet wide. Most interesting of the miniature logging operations carried on in camp is the sawmill itself. It is operated by a home-mad- e steam engine which drives the saw along a two-focarriage. The camp railroad was built entirely out of scrap steel except to the freight engines four drive wheels, which were cast of babbit. The engine is thirty-tw- o inches long, is operated by steam and will run for three hours unattended. A blow torch generatei the steam in the miniature boiler. When Kedrowicz seta the sawmill in motion twenty iron men operated by steam go through the motions of their jobs.
