BET ON BABY RUTH.
West Virginia Gamblers Wager $4,000
On Her Age.

WASHINGTON. W. Va. Dec. 19-The
all-absorbing question in this city has
been the age OF baby Ruth Cleveland.
The discussion started among party Of
gamblers at one of the downtown speak
easies," and the party, after making all
sorts of bets, repaired to another gam
bling house to find out when the baby
was born and where. On the way a
mum Der of sports were met and asked
about il, and by the time the second
place was reached there were forty in
the party, all willing to bet.
The question got abroad among the
oil men and soon $4,000 was wagered
on the result Of the investig alton. No
one in town was able to tell when the
child was born, and kilograms were sent
to the Wheeling newspapers asking for
the date and place Of birth Nothing has
caused as much excitement and general
commotiOn since the presidential cleo

NORTH POLE PROBLEMS.
The Vast Icy Region of the Arctic Zon
Not Yet Penetrated.

NORTH POLE PROBLEMS.
Not Yet Penetrated.
It is a curious fact that the most
cherries portion of our globe and the
region that is most awful in its desola-
tion has for generations been the center
of a most absorbing interest. The re-
gion that is the most remote from all
civilization and has the least to benefit
mankind has presented a weird fascin-
alton to explorers, that the long and
unbroken line of failures has not been
able to diminish. This is the great
zone. or belt that constitutes the vast
northern circum-polar region, and
which, after defying nearly four CEN
turtles of exploring endeavor, still
guards it's solemn secrets with grim
and undated vigilance. A mere cata-
logue of the public and private expe-
ditions that have been fitted out to
penetrate this strange realm would fill
pages. But whether they went forth
in quiet or with the zeal born for
heroic daring and endurance or went
forth with the pride and pomp of the
Armada, not one of the multitude has
found its quest.
Now, in brief, what are the general
physical conditions, what are these in
surmountable impediments that have
so successfully barred all penetration
to this absolutely unknown region
around the pole. It is, of course, I'M
derstoOd that the polar points are such
for the reason that they are the aXial
| points in the earths rotation. and, as
| our revolving globe presents its equa-
torial line to the sun, these polar
points thereby necessarily are the
regions most remote from the solar in
fiuence Hence it is that in the districts
of these pivotal points are the locali-
ties where the low temperature of the
globe finds it's maximum, while the
| equatorial belt presents the maximum
of high temperature. Now, as it hap
pens, the polar point under considera-
tion is in the midst of sea; at least, so
far as we know, this is the case.
Singularly enough this polar ba-
sin is pretty we'll land-locked,
the great northern land divisions
of Europe, Asia, North America,
and Greenland all abutting against
or into this Arctic sea, not in a solid
circular mass, of course, or this polar
matter would be of much more simple
solution. But there are great gaps OF
water that connect the Arctic ocean with
both the Atlantic and Pacific basins, and
we shall see how this great physical fact
bears on and bars polar investigation.
Those who understand something OF
what may be termed the photography
of the earth's meteorology will know
that, owing to unequal temperature,
there are great circulating currents in
the ocean, caused primarily BY the I'M
! equally heated seas, or parts of seas,
seeking equilibrium. These currents
also involve the Arctic ocean, and now
we shall see the action of the great
factor, low temperature. When the
sun is low in the southern heavens, and
the freezing line extends down toward
the equator 50 degrees of latitude, there
is then frigid circle over seven thou
sand miles in diameter, with the north
pole as it's center and closest point,
