The history of pair of trousers that

cording to scientists theories, enlivened
the subject of the Arctic problem, as
handled by Prot. Angelo Heilprin be-

way in which it travelled day after day,
as geographers believe, far to the inn
penetrable north, swept around the
pole, crossed it, perhaps, until it entered
the northern ocean boundary of Green
land and came down its snow-lined
coast into the comparatively beaten
track that made its discovery easy. The
professor illustrated his remarks with
map of Greenland, thrown on a can
vas from stereopticon, one of the first
correct geographical representations of
that icy land, perhaps, ever made. With
long cane he traced the progress of
the sailors trousers from point to point

ion of many learned men the theory of

in 1929, by way of the northeastern

that Parry's views of the proper way tc

The chief result of Pcary's work, from
a geographical standpoint, the lecturer
declared, was the final settlement Of

but is always followed by a great depression.
This has been clearly demonstrated in Arctic
explorations. In exposure to great heat the
evidence is equally as conclusive against its
use. The array of testimony is indisputsble.

Carel0f the Teeth.
TJenness Maier's Magastne.l

The first requisite for keeping the teeth and
gums sound and beautiful is to escnew the use
of dentifrices of whose component ingredients
nothing is known. An excellent recipe for a
harmless powder to be made at home is the fol-
lowing: Two ounces of prepared chalk, one
half ounce of pulverized white CASTLE soap, two
ounces of powdered orris root, two tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar, few drops of oil Of
wintergreen added as g. sfavoring powder of
this sort can be used with safety twice each day
Some women use charcoal from time to time to
whiten the teeth. but the practice cannot be
recommended. Any rough or gritty substance
naturally scratches the enamel, which becomes
a repository in this abraded condition for tartar
spots. The great point is to keep the enamel
perfectly smooth.
To remove the diseolorations that will make
their appearance on the best tcared. for teeth use
small twig of althea, cherry, or other soft
wood sharpened into pencil point and rub the
surface of the teeth, and the corners especially,
with the same.
Don't encourage yourself in brushing the
teeth in warm water. Cold is better tonic for
the gums. Never brush sideways, which Causes
recession of the gums, but always with an up
and down movement And avoid, above all
things, very stiff tooth brushes and very large
ones Ths medium Sizes with soft bristIes, are
more healthy for the gums.

A BIoOd-sucker Barometer.
detroit Freq Press 7

One of the most curious of the many natural
barometers consists of hslfpint glass hall
full of water, a piece of muslin. and a leeeh
The leech must be put in the water, and the
muslin tied over the top of the glass so that
the creature cannot get out again. When fine
weather is to be the order of the day the leech
will remain at the bottom of the water coied
up in spiral shape and perfectly motionless.
If rain is to be expected it will creep to the
top of the glass and remain there until there is
a likelihood of more settled weather. If there
is to be storm of wind the little animal
will comfort itself violently and squirm about.
For some days before thunder it will keep out
of the water almost all the time, and will occs-
sionally move its body in a convutsive fash
ion. For frosty weather it behaves in the same
manner as for fine, and it foretells snow in the
samo manner as it does rain.

had drawn of him was remembered and held in
