TERRORS OF A POLAR NIGHT,

buried under the snow. OF which thick
whirlwinds filled the air. The wind
shook the huts to their foundations.
Sometimes for days together the in
mates of different huts could hold no

the huts were side by side. If any one
went out he was seized b. the wind
and had to be dragged back by means
of ropes.

for five days in succession, with splen-

hole in the snow, sheltered from the
wind.
| Il have never seen anything more
terrible than tempest during the polar
night" says Mr. Nessiloff. Man feels
overwhelmed in immensely. When
there came a lull in the storm the men
ventured out to breathe the air and
purge their lungs of the eXhalations OF
the smoking lamps fed with sea oil.
Twilight appeared again in the mid

sun rose above the horizon, while the

Morality of Colleycs,

1t Is difficult and well-nigh impossible
for those who do not know student life
intimately to guage rightly the moral
standing of any college A few dis
sipated young men can give whole
class AID even whole college an un-
enviabie name with the undiscerning
public But those who have studied
undergraduating life closely know that
these few students are only chips on
the surface and that their influence on
the deep, strong undercurrent of col
lege life is scarcely felt. Doubtless the
custom of putting little restraint on the
social life of students in most Ameri-
can colleges has resulted in some tenn
porary harm. But the self-reliant man
hood that it has developed in American
young men has more than c0unterbal.

The Stone Forests Of Arizona,

The regions of Little Colorado River
in Arizona abound in wonderful vegc-
table petrfactions-who forests be-
ing found in some places which arc
hard as flint but which look as il but
recently stripped of their foliage. Some
of these stone trees are standing just
as natural as life. while others are piled
across each other just like the fallen
monarch of a real wood forest. Geolo-
gists say that these stone trees were
once covered to a depth of 1000 feet
with mari which transformed them
from wood to solid rock. This mari
after the lapse Of ages, washed out
leaving some of the trees standing in
an upright position. The majority OF
them. however, are piled heIter-skel-
ter in all directions. thousands of cords

caused it procured bread and meat for
his family, is, to our knowledge, a great
classic scholar, profoundly pious and
serious gentleman. a producer of some
of the noblest essays on great historic
themes. These are the masterpieces
that he would prefer to be remembered
by, but, by some sarcasm of destiny"
as it is called, he has been compelled
to seek another and more profitable
outlet for his genius. Writing to 4
friend, some years ago. he said: ALAS,
is it not deplorable that | have been
forced to become a clown in my old
age?" He exaggerated his position,
for there is an immense amount of
valuable material in his productions,
which, however, have minor chord of
the comic. But while the world de-
mands and pays for his fun" he is real
ly averse to such composition. and the
fame he has won has an element of
bitterness and disappointment to him.
