Colder Than tho North Pole.

Walter Wellman, who has been to the
arctic regions himself, says that Mel
ville's theory of an eternal ocean ice cap
is as indefensible as the old notion of
an open polar sea. At the pole the mean
annual temperature is reckoned at de-
grees f. above zero. In summer it is
doubtless often so warm there that the
lucky explorer who reaches its neigh
borhood will pull at his sledge with
bare hands and without any coat to in
cumber him. During three months Of
summer the mercury would not fall be-
low 10 degrees above zero. He might
pass a whole winter there without see
ing the mercury drop any lower than it
occasionally falls in Manitoba and north
ern Minnesota. But he would find q
steadier cold. For three months, proba-
bly,, he would have no higher tempera-
ture than 20 degrees below.
Arctic climate, like many other
things in that region, is little under
stood by people who have not given the
subject special study. In that country
it is always cold when the wind blows,
summer or winter. But even in winter,
when the wind is light or still, well
clad man can move about in comfort

Lying Out n Siege.

There died in Paris few years ago
an eccentric individual, one Count Ma
poleon Bertrand, son Of the companion
Of the great Napoleon at st. Helena.
His eccentricity at times drove him to
such extremities that he was often the
subject Of ridioule.
One of his most curious actions was a
practice which he annually observed of
hiring room in a hotel and going to
bed for three months, having previously
given instructions for food to be brought
him once day, and that not word
was to be spoken by his servant. Dur
ing the siege of Paris he was lodging at
his hotel
One day the bread served him was Of
such bad quality that he grew quite
angry, and forced his servant to tell him
the reason, which of course was that
the city was besieged by the German
army. The count was momentarily
stupefed. He got up, and for some time
wandered about the hotel, saying to
himself: paris besieged-b esieged?
What ought Bertrand to do?"
After having reflected for some mo-
ments he answered the query. why,
he ought to go to bed, and will go to
bed, he added, and SO he did, and slept
out the siege. Pearson Weekly.

Fog Horns.

In q communication to the French
Academy of Sciences an explanation is
given of some Of the hitherto unaccount-
able phenomena pertaining to gor horns.
1t has been found in regard to acoustic
signals, or sirens, that they are sur
rounded by neutral zone in which the
sound is not heard at the sea level-a
zone more or less distant, according to
the height of the siren on the coast
and it has a mean width Of about s, 400
feet. On the nearer side of this zone the
sound is of course heard perfectly, but
when it is traversed the sound weakens
gradually until it becomes scarcely per-
ceptible, when it increases again, and,
ON the zone being left behind, the sound
resumes its full intensity. Experiments
have been made on this line with a
steam vessel, by causing it to approach
or recede from lightship in different
directions and i'll straight line. In each
course, according to the account pub
lished, the sound was deadened almost
completely in zone whose central line
was about Is, 900 feet from the siren.

An Al, Night Scare.

Young Englishmen visiting the Unit
ed States have as many absurd and
amusing experiences as Americans have
when in foreign countries. The Wash
ingtoh Star tells Of an English traveller
who had been assured that west Of the
Missouri river the entire country was
infested with bears. some Of which were
so bold that they came into the towns
He stopped in Kansas village, and
in tho evening started out for a walk.
The stores were closed, but the moon
was shining brightly. He rambled
about the place for a couple of hours,
end started down the business street for
the hotel. Suddenly he saw before him
on the sidewalk big bear, sitting on
lis launches, with open mouth and
paws extended, awaiting his coming.
In moment he was on top Of a
porch, crying for help, but no one heard
him, and the bear sat and watched him.
All night long he staid there, trembling
for fear bruin would climb the post, but
comforting himself with the idea that il
was too small to be used by bear.
At daybreak some men came along,
and one Of them wheeled the bear back
to the doorway with the remark. 81
wonder who put that sign in the middle
Of the walk "
The tourist descended from the porch
without detection, and had he not sub
sequently enjoyed the story so muct
that he told it himself it would never
have been known.

CHANGES AT HARVARD.

Vote by the Faculty to Reduce Length Of
Study In the College.
For two weeks there has been a sharp
debate in the Harvard faculty ON the
proposition TO reduce the course of study
in the college from four TO three years.
The Sun reporter learned on the best
authority that some action was taken at
the last faculty meeting, and President
Eliot, when asked concerning the mat
ter, admitted that fact. He said the
faculty had voted by a small majority
to reduce the number of courses required
for degree from IS to 10, and that the
idea was that any man who had passed
10 of the 10 courses with credit should
receive his degree.
This means three years course for
the college and a dissolution of all the
class lines and class feeling. The ma
jority in favor of the motion, however,
was SO small that the vote was not con-
sidered final. The scheme will have to
be approved by the corporation and
board Of overseers before it can go into
effect. Members Of the faculty who op.
posed the plan think that the action
would be mistake and predict that il
it passes favorably it will bring on q
storm Of Indignation from graduates. -

AN OPAL CANNOT BE los1.
Apparent verifcation Of Virtue Claimed
For the Alleged Unlucky Gem.


A wealthy broker of West Philadel-
phia had rather singular experience
the other day. He and his family have
had in their possession for a number of
years some very handsome opals, but
the superstition which was formerly en-
tertained concerning the stone being I'M
lucky prevented him making use Of the
gems. Last year he took trip to Eu-
rope. While in London hs met at the
house Of a mutual friend q dealer in
precious stones, who had jNst come from
Gracias Dios, in Honduras, and had
brought back some fine gems.
Instead of putting any faith in the
popular superstition this gentleman be-
lieved in the opal very thoroughly and
attributed to it virtues which no other
gem possessed. Among the things which
he said about it was that the opal was
attached to its owner by invisible cords
and that it was impossible to lose it,
though it might be mislaid. The Phila-
delphia broker ON his return to Phila-
delphia chose the finest opal in his col
lection, had it set in ring, surrounded
by small diamonds, and at Christmas
presented it to his wife. 1t was truly a
beauty, and she wore it with conscious
pride
One day on returning from days
outing she received quite shock-the
opal was gone. Search proved vain. Nc
trace Of the stone could she discover
Not only ON account of its value, bu
because she knew how highly her hus
band priced the stone, she hated to in
form him Of her loss. At last she fell
obliged to do so, when, greatly to hel
establishment, he drew from his yes
pocket tiny package and presented il
to her. Upon opening it what was hel
delight when she recognized her los
opal.
More astonishing still, her husband
affirmed that while he was walkin,
down Chestnut street day or two be
fore he felt something under the sole O
his shoe, which upon investigation
proved to be the opal which he had las
seen shimmering upon his wife's finger
There was no doubt about it being th
lost one, for the jeweler who had Sc
it recognized it also. = Philadelphi;

the new country to which he was being
conveyed. In fact he has been three
times premier, being first chosen in 1878
and serving until 1881, and then again
from 1856 to 1890. From 1854 to 1856
and again from 1890 until his reappoiut-
ment as successor to Sir Cecil Rhodes,
Sir Gordon was treasurer of the colony
The circumstances upon which he first
gained the post were similar to those
upon which he now returns to power
In 1878 Sir Bartle Frere dismissed the
Ministry because of his dissatisfaction
with the conduct of the Transkeian re
bellioL. Three years later he resigned
after fiasco in regard to another re-
bellioL, that of the Basutos.

MERRY MEDICINE WAR.
Chicago Druggists to Make Patent cur..
Of Their Own.

OF Their Own
A factory for making remedies SINH
lar in nature to the proprietary medi-
cines now ON the market Is to be started
in Chicago by retail druggists. A large
majority Of the pharmacists are inter
ested, and they hope to drive the medi-
cine makers from the field.
The retail druggists have formed the
United States Pharmaceutical COMPANY
and have issued stock to the amount of
$40, 900. Almost all of this has been
taken up by prominent pharmacists.
The formation Of the company was
the outgrowth of a recommendation
made by the Illinois Pharmacists asso-
citation. The members Of that associa-
tion said that nothing could be done to
check the cutting in prices, and that
druggists must enter the field as manu-
facturers. As result $50 of the retail
ers of Chicago met and formed com
pany. In two weeks more than $50 Chi
cago names have been added to those of
the organizers, and from the state at
large 100 more have come.
Their object is to fight in practical
way the cutting Of prices of drugs and
medicines handled by department stores
and to combat at the same time the sale
of medicines by the manufacturers and
wholesale dealers to these stores.
Hereafter when person wants a dose
to cure headache and asks for the
remedy usually taken the druggist will
advise him to take something not only

SAVED BY THE GIRLS.
New Jersey Skater Rescued by Female
Heroism and Originality.

John Mitchell, we'll known young
man, broke through the ice while skating
ON Speedwell lake near Morristown, N.
j. The water was deep and cold, and
Mitchell screamed for help as he strug
gled for life. Several young women who
witnessed the accident went to his as
sistance and by prompt and original
plans began scheme to rescue him.
Several excited young men skated up
intent on brave deeds, full of suggestions,
but devoid of plans. The young women
pushed them out Of the way without
ceremony and set about to work out
Mitchell's salvation by their own meth
DDS. Two of the girls lay down on the
ice and the others held ON their dresses
while they reached into the water and
seized the drowning man by the arms.
Considerable vigorous pulling resulted
in bringing Mitchell out upon the stron-
ger ice, where he soon recovered his
breath and went home to thaw out
