to absolutely locate the north magnetic
pole.
A meeting of the council of the
Geographical Society of the Pacific, OF
which he is president, will be held at his
office on California street this morning, at
which the initial steps will probably be
taken.
The fixing of the north magnetic pole
is a matter of real moment to science and
the e,world at large" said Professor David
son last evening. "Comp pared with it the
discovery OF the north pole proper, about
which there is so much talk, to accomplish
which such vast sums of money have been
expended and so many valuable lives have
been lost, is no practical value whatever.
"S ome day man will come out of the
north nearly frozen and starved. having,
perhaps, left all his companions behind
him to die, and will say 10 the world: L

thereafter enter a museum or write a
book, but the world will be no whit better
for either. Suppose he tells US that they
have straw berries all the year round at
the north pole2 To be sure that would
seem curious and perhaps some other ad-
venturers, who knew nothing better to do.
would spend some more millions to prove
him q liar. But, seriously, l know of no
real good that may result from the dis
covery OF the north pole.
"The locating of the north magnetic
pole, however, is an entirely different mat
ter. 1t is of the highest Importance to
science. and just why it has been SO neg
Iected while such effort has been directed
at the less important enterprise is some
thing / cannot understand.
Fortunately nature has placed it within
reach of ordinary endeavor. The north
magnetic pole is at about 20 deg. min.
north latitude, 90 deg. as min. west longi-
tude. In other words. it is near Franklins
Bay. about the center of the north coast of
British America.
81 am perfectly aware that it is the gen.
eral impression there is no difference be-
tween the north pole and the north mag
netic pole. Many very well-informed peo-
pie are of the belief that the struggle to
reach the north pole is chiefly prompted
by desire to solve the mystery of the ter
restrial magnetic see how the magnetic
needle would act and possibly to discover
why.
"The fact is, however, that the magnetic
pole that governs the action OF the needle
is more than 1000 miles south OF the
north pole proper, as / have said, on this
continent. at the north pole the needle
would simply point south. There is an
other magnetic pole of lesser force in
Northern Siberia and corresponding south
ern poles, the stronger being located in
Southern Australia.
"What the magnetic pole is cannot be

"Has anybody ever been to the magnetic
pole? Yes; Sir James Clerk Ross, in his
expedition with the Erebus and Terror, in
Is40-43, passed over it. An expedition
under Captains Moore and Clarke, and
that of General LEROY in the following
year, sent out for the purpose OF making
magnetic survey, located the pole within
reasonable limits. Now, the thing most
important to be done is to fix the location
of the pole absolutely. Then, as l say,
some future expedition will be enabled TO
determine whether the pole remains hxed
or whether it is shifting substance.
How would it be done? Well, the
searchers would go to the spot to which
the magnetic needle points the way. The
passing of that point would be immedI-
ately indicated by the needle itself. Tor
above it the needle does not point north
but south. At ths pole the needle points
downward toward the earth. The party
having come within the influences OF the
immediate vicinity of the pole would circle
round and by studying the action OF the
needle and careful observation be enabled
to nix upon the exact spot.
The idea of sending out or advocating
the sending out of an expedition Tor this
purpose is not new with me, continued
Professor Davidson.

The Parrot Gave Lessons. Too.

"a man, whose name have forgotten,
told me this parrot story the other day on
the train between Topeka and Salina. His
niece had coaxed him to buy her parrot,
and he had purchased bird that the
dealer had warranted to be good talker.
He took it home, and standing before IT'S
cage said: Say uncle, Polly The bird
perched and sat and done nothing more.
Time and again he told it to say uncle,
but it never moved its head. Finally the
man grew exasperated, and opening the
cage door GRABBED the bird by the neck and
shook it until its head wobbled around, all
the tim yelling to it, Say uncle, goll darn
you! Say uncle! The bird looked limp
and Iifeless, and disguised with his pur-
chase he took it out into the yard where
he had a coop of thirty fine chickens.
Thrusting the half-dead bird in with
the chickens he exclaimed, There, by
gosh You'll say uncle before you get
out!' Next morning he went out to see
how the parrot was getting on. Looking
into the coop he counted twenty-nine dead
chickens, and in the center of the coop
stood the parrot on one foot holding the
thirtieth chicken by the neck, shaking it
till its head wobbled and screaming: Say
uncle. gol darn yer, say uncle.' kansas

The Engraving Took Two Years.

Representative White OF Illinois wears
on his little finger of the left hand a seal
ring whose historical interest far surpasses
the intrinsic value of the jewel, although
it is probably the finest intaglio in Wash
ington. 1t is plain, unostentatious hya-
cinth, bearing the classic head of Antoni-
nus Plus, ruler of Rome from 138 to 161,
and was cut and worn by the great Roman
philosopher and Emperor 100 years ago.
Mr.. White secured it during his sojourn in
Italy, paying 5000 francs for it, or about
$500 IN American money. 1t had Roman
setting of great antiquity. Mr.. White
took the ring to Tiffany's, in Paris, and
ordered the stone to be set in a plain gold
band. The great jewelry firm specified that
it would do SO only at the owners risk, on
account of the incalculable value of the
stone. The head is engraved in a pure
hyacinth, which, when held TO the light
is perfectly translucent, and gives out a
remarkable play of colors. The engraving
