The North Pole will seem at flrst
thought to the average investigator
the most unlikely site ON earth Tor
Paradise to have occupied. Neverthe,
less, several sober and thoughliui
books and pamphlets have been writ
ten in support of the North Pole pre-
tensions The North Pole nowadays is
bitter cold, but it has not always been
so. Biologists tells us that the earth
was excessively hot when it first began
its course-much too hot to admit OF
the presence of any living creature eX
cept, perhaps, a saamander AS ~
grew colder vegetation began on 1t.
and then it began to be peopled, 1lrsi
with fishes, and then with BIRDS ana
beasts: finally with man. The hrst
spot on earth To get cool enough TO use
was the North Pole. In the process OF
time ii got too cold, but there must
have been long period when the polar
region was the most comfortable part
of the world. During this period many
eminent biologists believe. there eX-
listed around the North Pole a CONT
nent now submerged, and that on that
our progenitors were cotliioit
able in their first home. 1t is known
with entire certainty that the polar
region was once warm enough for trop-
zeal vegetation 10 grow there. There
was light enough, also, for such vege-
tation- abundant hight, indeed, tor all
uses. and plenty for primeyal man.
Geology tells us that man might nave

Chicken ak .

So nice and well understood are the
di tferences between the sounds when
these birds give forth, and so well are
their notes appreciated by their com
panions. that the creatures may well
be said to have language. Though
it probably conveys only emotions and
not discreet thoughts, it still must he
regarded as IA certain kind of speech.
The modes of expression indicate that
in this creature. as III the other
feathered forms, the intellectual life
largely consists in the movements IN
spired by the emotions. On the
rational side our fowls seem weaker
than many other less interesting
species. In their nesting and other
habits there are no evidences of con
structive inenguity, and in all my OBJ
seryations of them have never seen
any evidence which showed either
considerable powers Of memory or ca
pacity to act in any complicated way
with reference to AN end. - Prof. N

Americans stu Ahead

4 couple of Englishmen en- route for
Rome were joined by an American,
whose blatant patriotism first amused,
then bored them. No matter what was
admirable, rich or rare, there was al
ways something in America to eclipse
it. according to our countryman. The
Britishers determined to teach the
Yankee a lesson, and, taking advan-
tage of the chronic thirst of their com
panion, they piled him with all the
iiauor that he could be induced to alb
sorb, and then proposed to visit the
catacombs. Before they reached their
destination they were obliged to guide
his errant steps between them, and at
length, overcome by drowsiness, the
American begged to be left alone to
lie down at his ease. When sounds as
of a discharge of musketry issued at
regular intervals from the nose of the
PROSTATE patriot, his companions con
cluded that he was dreaming of the
Fourth of July, and would therefore
be oblivious of anything nearer at
hand. Producing a sheet, purloined
from their hotel, and until now care
fully concealed, they wrapped the
sleeper like a mummy in its folds, and
then left him to do" the catacombs
on their own account. Returning an
hour later, they found him still sleep
ing. One of them then drew from un
der his coat tin fish horn and blew
upon ii blast that only ELECTED
grunt and produced fluttering of the
eyelids of the sleeper. A second blast,
however, longer and louder, brought
him to sitting posture, with eyes
wide open and senses alert. A moment
of bewilderment. and then he exclaim-

GOSSIP AND INFORMATION.

The great grandson of Robert Burns,
the poets namesake and only surviving
relation, is an old man living in Edin-
burg in ill-health and poverty, being
employed by the municipality at small
wages.
An unmarried man or woman of mar
riageable age is something that is
rarely seen in the Fiji islands. The
reason of this is not far to seek. The
natives believe that if a person dies
while in an unmarried state his or
her soul is doomed to wander about
through endless ages of eternity in an
intermediate region between heaven
and hades. At the end of each moon
they are allowed to look into heaven,
but are never permitted to enter.
A wonderful and practically I'M
known timber region has been explored
recently in Washington, west of the
Olympic mountain range. Spruce
trees from 10 to II feet in diameter,
hemlocks 100 feet to the first branches,
and white fir and larch of large size
and form, that demonstrate unmistak
ably the truth of the doctrine of the
of the fittest in the mighty
realm of vegetation, are the features
of this old new timber region. There
stands antiquity that tells of ages un
numbered: use exhaustless for the
service of man, beauty that the touch
of time only makes more beautiful. T"
More practical folk would wonder that
so rich timber section has been so
long Engraved by fire, and hope that
the lumber industry may reach it in
advance of the flames. The fertility
of the land that supports this tremend-
GUS growth cannot be doubted, but
the men who reclaim it to agriculture
must be of sturdier race than those
who represent the present class of
homesteaders, and even these must
follow slowly in the path of the Draw
ny loggers who toll to supply the de-
mands of the lumber trade.

A New Petroleum Light.

4 new system of obtaining light
from petroleum has been invented. and
is now in limited use in Europe, which
promises. if it can be adapted to
household and civic purposes, to rival
results thus far looked for from elec-
tricity. BY automatically heating the
vapor of kerosene, and burning this
vapor or gas when generated in heat
ed state, it is found possible to pro
duce light of intense brilliancy,
having an illuminating power, contln-
gent somewhat upon the size of the
flame. from $500 to l4,9Oo candle
power, and a penetration sufficient to
enable one to read small tpye at a
distance of $50 feet from the flame
The use thus far made of this light
has been for military purposes, as 1t
secures means of illumination which
can he introduced and used at small
expense and delay. But if the expert =
ments that have been made are of any
value in determining the future use
fulness Of this invention, we should
suppose that the area of serviceability
would be greatly enlarged, and that
the lamp in question, in possibly a
modified and simplified form, might be
brought into general use both for
street and house illumination.

shall Cuba be Free !
From the september Forum.


When the Cuban government - set
up. as il soon will be, We shall have
equally as good international authority
and precedent to recognize state OF
war in the island, as Spain did for our
town confederate insurgentes 10 days
after the shot at Fort Sumter We can
return to her, in the interests OF llber-
tv, the compliment she then paid us IN
behalf of slavery. The justice will be
poetic. With all possible decorum,
with politeness above criticism,
with tirmness wholly irresistible, we
should assist Spain out Of Cuba and
out of the hemisphere as etfectually as
Lincoln and Seward did the French
invaders of Mexico in the sixties.
Moreover, according to American
precedent. neither a state of hostilities
nor the setting up Of a civil or military
organization is positively necessary to
enttle people to belligerent rights
for before either of these conditions
were established in 1888, we went so
far as to issue Il proclamation for pre-
vention of unlawful interference in the
civil war in Canada, y Our record to
ward Spain is clear. We heartily ap.
proved when George Canning invoked
the Holy Alliance to prevent her from
recovering her American provinces
and in 1925, we refused to guarantee
her perpetual possession of Cuba in
exchange for commercial concessions to
ourselves Our obligations 10 her are
assured by an easily terminable treaty,
which, however, while in force, in no
way prevents us from recognizing
Cuba's belligerency. Ii is difficult for
us to decide between free Cuba and
tyrant Spain? Why not fling overheard
Spain and give Cuba the aid which
she needs, and which our treaty with
Spain cannot prevent? Which cause
is morally right? which is manly
which is American?
