New York, -Mar. 20. —This summer will usher in many voyages of! adventure, surpassing in thrills any tales told in the realms of fiction. | In describing the undersea boat I “Natutilus" in "Twenty Thousand | Leagues Under the Sea,” Jules | Verne visualized a truly wonderful. craft. With remarkable precision this noted French author, years before they became a reality, carried us through the realms of adventure —thrilling and unbelievable. He told of the many hardships overcome by daring adventures in his thrilling tales of voyages byi land, sea and air. Little did he. dream that in later years these ■ masterpieces in the annals of fiction would he written in the pages ■ of reality. In a modern “Nautilus," a for-: mer U. S. Navy submarine, reconditioned and refitted. Captain Sir Hubert Wilkins plans early this summer to make tiie 3,000-mile undersea journey, when he sails under the North Pole.

GAS WELL BOOMS PENNSY TOWNS — - Sayre. Pa., Mar. 2 > —KU.P.) Tioga , and Bradford counties are experiencing boom days, the Like of. which Pennsylvania lias not experienced since the Drake well produced oil out in Venango County years ago. The discovery of a pocket of natural gas underlying *the counties accounts for the tremendousactivity. The l:|bom spreads over two states, including the southern counties of New York. In the two counties directly affected. leases are being filed on every inch of land that might produce gas; plans, or talk of plans, for drilling wells is being circulated everywhere. Four wells are “in’’ in the two counties, one of them producing 90,000,000 cubic feet daily before it was harnessed. Bids as high as $1,000,000 are reported to have been made to the owner of the land on which this well was found in return for his royalty rights. MONBOE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. W. S.

SCHOOL TEACHER NOW OPERA STAR Pittsburgh, Mar. 24—(U.R)—Ten yearn ago a country school teacher dreamed of the day when she would achieve diatlncton as a singer. Recently the former teacher, Miss Esther Stoll, now a primu donna, returned here with the German Opera Company and visited her home in Beaver Falls where she taught grammar school. Miss Stoll, who sHnga one of the ! principal roles in “The Flying Dutchman,” said it was the difficulties in her way which helped her most. ‘‘Coming home tired at night from teaching the A.B.C.’s to primary pupils made me more eager to span the distance between the school house and the opera house.'' Her teaching provided funds for singing lessons here and later in New York. When her funds ran low in New York she sent back for her teaching certificate and did sulfetitute teaching in New York. Miss Stoll won a scholarship to study under Herbert Witherspoon and later through the interest of a music patron she was able to study in Europe, where she made her debut. o TOCSIN NEWS Mrs. Irvin Dailey entertained for dinner Sunday in honor of Mr. Dailey's birthday anniversary.
