Little King John sits up in tree,
tip-top throne has little King John;
Bat no fair queen by his side has he,
For how, pray tell, could queen hold on
Little King John, O, where is your crown:
Or little King John, where is your hats
You've burnt your nose to coffee-Dro"h'
And what'll your mother say to that:
But little King John, he hugs his throne'
The sea, the sun, the wind is sweet,
And up in the clouds, high and alone,
The trees wonderful wishing seat.
Little King John is sailing his ships
In the Open Polar Sea, perhaps
At least his grand discovery trips
Spoils all the old geography maps.
Little King John is leading his men, :,
On gallant horse he sweeps the neio,
The bands play up-and he cheers,a and then
The punsl the CHARGE the enemy yleld!
Little King Johnnie is grand ana Tall,
He looks lust rs the President should,
Like Waahng ton-yes, man, OF all,
Would wish to look like him II ne couio.
Little King Johnnie Is scrambling down
He barks his knees on the wishlng-tree,-
At the tea-bells sound his dreams are HOWL
And naueht but a hungry boy is he.

this condition they get drawn up in

She found that she liked to hear herself
sing, and when she came to the end Of
the first verse she began the second with
louder voice. But when she had sung
that verse it seemed to her as if some one
were answering her from far below.
.sDear e,what can that be-" she thought,
stepped out on the uttermost ledge,
and threw her arms around a tall
birch tree that stood there and trembled
over the abyss. She looked downward
but she saw nothing. The Fjord lay
quietly asleepan no. bird was stirring.
She sat d~wn again and took up her
song. But this time somebody answered
with the same tune and much nearer.
Aslang sprang up and leaned once
more over the ledge. Then she saw a
boat moored at the foot of the cliff, but
so far below that it looked like a nut
she'll. She drew the eyes upward and
caught sight OF red cap climbing the
naked wall
"Who can that be-" she asked. and
made long leap backward. She dared
not answer, for she knew full well who it
was. She threw herself down on the
green sward and took hold of the grass
with both her hands, as if it were
she who must not miss the grasp. The
roots loosened; she shrieked, thrust her
hands deeper into the sod, and prayed to
God Almighty to help him. Then she
felt that this was truly to try God, and
could not be expected to be granted
but only this one time," she burst out
"help him, oh! only this one time! 7
She clasped the dog as if he were Tore she
would hold last, rolled with it over the
green sward, and thought that these
minutes would never come to an end.
But suddenly the dog sprang up, start.
ed toward the ledge, wagged his tail and
barked; turned back to Aslang, jumped
with his forepaws into her,lap and barked
twisted round again and barked with
frantic restlessness, while red cap arose
above the ledge, and Tore leaped to he1

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

The Finland observations OF
northern lights in the years OF 1916
1855. numbering 100. have recently
been compared by M. Fritz. in the
Wochenschrn fur istronom,e, with
auroral ohenomena of the same period
i'm all other regions. This comparison
leads to results which are interesting
as bearing on the theory OF the pheno-
menon. The table shows that OF
o.O35 DAYS of the months August to
April. on which northern lights were
seen. /. lO7 DAYS were days OF northern
LIGHT for Finland. On I94 days
northern lights were visible simulate
ously in America. and mostly also III
Europe: on lOl days only IN Europe.
and on 90 DAYS only iii Finland. They
were on 95S days visible in Europe and
America. and not visible III Finland.
The conclusion is thus reached that a
large portion Of the polar lights have
no very great extension. or that the
causes producing them must often he
of q very local nature. Wnlle IN
another portion Of the phenomena the
regions of simultaneous appearance
are very considerable. The number
of those phenomena which are limited
10 Finland is very small. With the
increase of frequency Of the phenome.
ma. at the time Of maximum. their
number observed III Finland ane
America on the same day increases
i while those observed in Finland ana
only in Europe. or those in FINLAND
only. decrease. These relations cor
resuond TO the known law. that with
the frequency the intensity and extern
of the polar lights also increase.
