The average value of notes is q little

A PARADOX OF THE POLE.

Queer Things About That Imaginary spos
to the North Of Us.
At the north pole there is only one
direction-south. On could 90 south in
as many ways as there are points on the
compass card, but every one of these
ways is southeast and west have van
ished. The hour of the day at the pole
is paradoxical conception, for that
point is the meeting place of every me-
ridian and the time 6 all holds good, so
that it is always any hour one cares to
mention. Unpunctuality is hence i'm
possible-but the question grows COM
pick, and its practical solution concerns
few.
No one needs to go to the pole to dis
cover all that makes that point differ
ent from any other point of the sur
face. But the whole polar regions are
full of unknown things, which every
Arctic explorer of the right stamp
looks forward to finding And the re-
ward he looks forward to most is the
approval of the few who understand
and love knowledge for its own sake,
rather than the noisy applause of the
crowd who would cheer him. after all,
much as they cheer a winning prize
fighter, or race horse, or political can
didate.
The difficulties that make the quest of
the pole so arduous have been discovered
by slow degrees. It is marvellous how
soon nearly the full limits of north
ward attainment were reached. In
1896 Barents discovered Spitzbergen in
about 70 degrees north; in ITO Hudson
reached 80 degrees; in 1927 Parry, by
sledging on the ice when his ship be-
came fast, succeeded in touching 50
degrees and IS minutes Since then all
the enormous resources of modern
science steam, electricity, preserved
foods and the experience of centuries
have only enabled forty miles of addi-
tional poleward advance to be made.
The map gives q fair idea Of the form
Of tho Arctic regions, and remember
ing that the circle marked so degrees
distant 700 miles from the pole, the
reader can realize the distance involved.
The Arctic basin, occupied by the Arc
tic sea, is ringed in by land; the north
ern coasts of America, Europe and Asia,
forming roughly circular boundary,
broken by three well-marked channels
communicating with the ocean. Beh-
ring Strait, between America and Asia
il the narrowest Baffin bay between
America and Greenland il wider,
branching into . number of ice-blocked
sounds TO the westward, and tapering
OF into Smith sound in the northeast.
The widest channel of the three lies
between Greenland and Europe. and
this is bisected just south of 80 degrees
north by the island group of Spitzber-

that there will be practically no winter
range. One prominent sheep man who
went over his range south of the Union

spring was SO cold that grass did not
start early, and when it did it was
burned up by the dry, hot weather.
