Facts About a Hitherto U~nexplored Region

J.B. TyreI, Of the Dominion qeologi-

been making explorations. He left Sell
kirk on the gath Of June. Taking
canoes at Grand Rapids, he, with In
dian guides, proceeded tc Norway
house, and descended the Nelson river
100 miles to the Pine river, which they
assembled 70 the WOLF river. All this
territory has practically never before
been entered By white men. Reaching
the Nelson, they again descended It for
about rs miles, and followed the Burnt
wood to a remote Hudson Bay com
pany post.

that were a few years ago heavily Tim
bered with spruce have felt the deadly

There are &rge areas OF rich, Gull

cause it would be of no value, all va

F1oating sanitarium.

The sanitarium at sea is a European
idea. A large steamer especially fitted
for the accommodation Of invalids in
need of fresh air and a favorable climate
is to be constructed by a ship-owning
association. The ship is to be in con-
slant employment for eight or nine
months in the year, but for at least
three out of twelve she will go into dock
in order to be thoroughly cleansed and
di~sinfected. It is proposed to make
this steamer, which is to be the forerun-
ner of a large feet, similarly equipped,
q veritable floating palace in the mat
tiers of both comfort and salubrity. All
though skilled advice and nursing will
always be available, the accompani-
ments Of a s~anitarium will be kept as
much as possible in the background.
The prominent idea to be carried out in
this new departure is the isolation of a
dangerous class, with the least possible
amount Of discomfort to it's members;
and, furthermore, that by a judicious
timing of moves the sufferers will be af-
forded a chance of recovery under the
most favorable climatic conditions
which it would be difficult to secure
otherwise. A list of ~anchorages has
been made all of which have their spe-
cial seasons. AS soon as any unde-
sirab1e change Of weather is imminent
at the port Of stopping, the ship will
sail for a more salubrious c~limate.-Chi-

tiers. The machine, rejoicing in its new.
ly-found power, put on an extra squirt,
and drew well ahead of me, making the
most extraordinary leaps from time to
time.
We were now close to the village, and
the few people still lingering about
commenced to take a lively interest in
the proceedings; especially the consta-
BILE, who is a very stubborn and ofRcious
person, and seems to think that if it
were not for him the nation and the law
would fall to pieces; so l cannot say
/ feel very sorry for him-he should at
tend more to his own business. When
he saw the bicycle coming, he shouted
to the rider to stop. To this the genius
gave no heed, and the constable pre-
pared for action. He ran out into the
middle of the road and clutched at the
genius as he flew by. Unluckily for him
he missed completely, and the front
wheel of the machine smote him heavily
in the loose ribs, leaving him a dusty
and ~dishevelled wreck on the side of the
road. When / passed him he was slow.
ly recovering, and I judged from his
expression that his emotions were yio-
lent and mingled. We fled along the
main street amid a horrible clatter. At
the end of the village, the road makes a
sharp turn to the left, and / knew that
this would be the decisive point in the
genius furious career. If he could but
turn the corner, he would have a nearly
straight road in front of him for three
miles. If he could not, there was the
ten-foot wall of the ladies' seminary
to be surmounted, I confess / had no
hopes whatever, either of his turning
the corner, or of his forcing the bicycle
to take the jump. The machine now
seemed to be pulling itself together for
a final struggle; which fact the genius
seemed to grasp, and he groaned audi
bly, as he tried to pull the handles round
in order to take the turn. But the
bicycle was too much for him.
1t was a splendid effort; indeed, /
never saw such a tremendous jump so
CALAMITY attempted. But, as it hap
pehed, the plucky bicycle just landed
on the top of the wall; and with a hor-
rid crash both machine and rider fell at
the feet of a procession of IA young
ladies who were about to take their
daily airing. The bicycle used the last
Of the compressed air in the cylinder to
deliver several violent kicks at the
genius as he lay on the ground.
He will be carried down from his bed
room into the garden some time to-mor-
row afternoon; and the doctorsays that
IL his collar bone sets well, he will be
fairly sound in about another week.

ORANGES IN THE EARTA.s AXIS
Continual Slight Changes in All Parallels
Of Latitude.

Continual Slight Changes in All Parallels
Of Latitude.
OF all the astronomical problems un-
der discussion of late years, of the
most interesting has been that of
changes in the earth's axis. 1t has been
found that the Imaginary line about
which the earth rotatcs once a day is
not invariably fixed with reference to
the earth, but is continually changing
its position in that body. The term
pole has, therefore, to be taken in
two different senses: "a AS the end
Of the shortest diameter of the earth
this is a fixed point, with reference to
the earth, as long as the earth keeps its
shape, and may be called the sspole Of
figures" (2) the pole may be defined as
the end of the diameter about which the
earth is revolving, and this pole may be
called the "poIe of rotation"
1t is found that the pole Of rotation
is continually shifting its position with
reference to the pole of figure, along a
curved line of considerable complexity,
The distance between the poles is very
small, never as much as 40 feet. Large
" through the unwearied researches OF
DIR. S. C. Chandler the motion has been
shown to be mainly composed Of two
parts. One part is a motion Of the
pole of rotation about the pole of figure
in a circle of radius 10 feet, with a time
Of revolution Of about 428 days. The
second motion is of somewhat the same
character, but with a period Of one year,
and the amplitude Of this motion has
varied during the last half century from
four to twenty feet.
Some idea of the actual motion may
be got by imagining a crank-arm IL feet
long attached to the pole of figure and
revolving once in 42s days. To the mov-
ing end Of this crank-arm is attached
another, which gradually changes in
length and revolves once a year. The
free end of this traces out the path OF
the pole of rotation. The actual path is
apparently quite complicated.
One Of the principal effects of this
shifting of the pole is that the ATTITUDES
of all places on the earth are continually
changing. In fact, it was by this peri
odic variation in the latitude that the
motion of the pole was detected. All
parallels of latitude are continually
shifting, with a range Of motion Of less
than 40 feet from the mean position.
There is little or no astronomical evil
dence of any progressive change in The
position Of the pole Of rotation, by vir-
tue of which it occupied a position
greatly different from the present. APP
parently the former existence of trop-
ical plants and animals in what are now
polar regions of the earth could be ex-
planned on such a hypothesis; but no
one has yet been able to suggest prob
able cause in the axis Of rotation, and
an explanation must be looked for else
where. The small, periodic variations
are the only ones about whichwe can be
at all certain.-Popular Science News.
