1t is rumored that another Is scheduled for
this year. and a tidal gauge is set out ON
the end of a rock pier. It Is the duty Of
the corporal Of the guard to inspect 1t
every half hour, day and night and make
a record Of 1t. As the distance is fully a

AS we always fear treachery from the

are searched by the guard before being

may be a brutal woman whose child will
get beaten If he returns empty handed. It
is such tales as these which beggar farm
ers and their pupils use almost exclus-
lively.
There is none Of the finesse about them
which distinguished little Scotch lad
who operated on his own account in New
York. He was always wanting to know
how far it was to Albany, where his father
lay with broken leg. Oh, no. he would
not take money, he was going to walk,
but 1t was wonderful how his resolution
changed when the bills were actually
thrust upon him. He was discovered
through the stupid blunder of taclling the
same man twice with the same story.
The child beggar is Of two varieties, the
downtown beggar who, distinguished as
an innocent vendor Of papers or flowers,
beguiles the unwary, and the child who
plays the destitute home act in the SUI
burbs and extracts garments and food
from thrifty housewives. A few years ago
both varieties were alarmingly common.
but recently the action of the bureau of
charities and the Visitation and Aid So
ciety has almost driven them out of ex>
istence; indeed, it has been roughly esti-
mated that there are not now more than
fifty Of them In all. Still they do exist
and evidently succeed, as was shown by
the case of the Papa brothers, aged, re-
spectively seven and eight, who were
roped in by the Visitation and Aid socie-
tvs agents the other day. These young
sters kept their eyes perennially red and
sore by rubbing dirt In them and were
thus ready to Turn on the tear drops
whenever a likely-loolking party passed
their way. ''I'll get a beating If go
home without any money" the infants
would wall in chorus. and their appeal
was seldom refused.

One Of them, boy named Joe Hartney,

many instances these children are trained
carefully and graded according to size and

rarely, they are starved till their pincned
wan faces seem likely to again attract

are drafted off into other lines Some
times they are turned into sneak thieves,

this case the one family took all the spoil

follows that the magnetic force which
hauls this immense weight through space
at such enormous speed must closely
align with the earth's axis in order to
maintain uniformity Of daily revolution
and at the same time allow for the di-
visions of time being fixed as accurately
as the calendar demonstrates that they
are, This much being conceded, let us
consider the necessary conditions that
must prevail at the center Of the earth
in order that the magnetic lodge could be
effective, or. in other words, be in a con-
dition to respond to the necessary electro
motive force.
1--WE know that iron at red heat ceases
to respond to the magnet and we know
also that the ratio of Increase OF tenn
perature as we descend below the earth's
surface declares positively that the
earth's crust becomes incandesaent at
something less than 100 miles. Therefore,
all magnetic influential fields aligned in
the upper crust must be accounted for
within the extreme outer shell.
Now. If it were a condition that the
propelling lines of force were extending
through this extreme outer crust. and not
through the polar center, the magnetic
current, which always seeks the shortest
route, would travel by that route where
the great and most continuous ore Or con-
Quoting bodies are iOcated-ylZ., from
northwest to southeast through the west
ern hemisphere the earth in describ-
ing It's daily revolutions would, instead Of
revolving around Its polar axis, turn ec-
centric TO #. or, in other words, would re-
volve about the ma ghetto lines of force.
eff, therefore, the earth's crust is adj
mittedly incandescent at depth of 100
miles. IL the magnetic lode draws through
the polar axis or center Of the earth. and
if magnetic influences cease to be effective
at red heat, it follows that tbs earth must
contain a cold magnetic core. Now. since
the diameter IF the earth Is something
like 5000 miles. and less than 200 miles
of these 5000 miles Is below red heat.
there must be some cooling agency at
work to maintain a low effective working
temperature of this magnetic core, sur
rounded as 1t is and must be by sea of
molten lava fire and gas. rs
"Having assumed the existence of the
core, let us go a few steps further and
declare that the core is hollow, and that
the Arctic waters flow through its entire
length, and we have discovered the cool
ing agency, and at the same time we will
kill half dozen birds with the same
stone; in other words, we will account for
the erratic action of the mariners COM

nomenon rests in assuming, that as the
earth draws away from the sun the
polarity of its magnet changes, and in
f1uenced by the suns magnetic lode while
subject to the influence of it's own polar
magnet it becomes temporarily cratic
and inclines slightly to one side of it's
true polar axis, thereby exposing the in
ternal incandescent bases and allowing
them to escape through the funnel thus
temporarily created AS they come IN
contact with the water. it is projected
upward and caused to rise in vast clouds
of steam and quickly converted in the in
tensely cold atmosphere into mountains of
ice. At the same time that this Is taking
place, these gases, which are highly In
candescent and many colored, are reflect
ed on the black Arctic sky radiating and
playing like gigantic search lights.

Agricultural possibilities in Alaska have
until within a recent period been consid-
cred Of but slight Importance. AS the
country was explored. however, and its
conditions of climate and soil studied, its
natural products observed and expert
meEts made with various classes Of agri-
cultural productions. it became apparent
that the agricultural possibilities OF the
country, and especially Of the south and
southeast, where the climate is modified
by the Japan current. were Of consider
able Importance in view of the practical
ability of furnishing food supply.

tently for a footstep or the roll of wheels.
The dark gray of the fog had come to as
sumo grotesque patterns and shapes and
poor Nah began to see all sorts OF
strange faces and figures peering at him
from out the haze. Every now and then
he imagined he heard q noise, and some
times that noise would assume the vol
ume of foghorn or the roar Of an express
train.
At length his Impotence was rewarded.
A party of four came stumbling along
and would have passed Nah by had not
that worthy grasped the cloak of one OF
the ladies and held on. With q little
scream the owner of the garment Nah
seemed so determined to possess. arrest

thrice the four were gathered about the
shivering little Chinese, all asking ques-
tons at the same time.
where do you live, little girl?"
"What is your name?"
'FWhat does your father do?"
'fHow did you come to be here in the
fog?"
t'Please don't cry, we will see you safe
home" etc, etc.
To all these inquiries Nah answered a
cheerful "Good morning" This was just
about one-sixth Of his entire vocabulary.
Seeing that it was useless for them to
pursue questioning. the party took the
supposed little girl in charge and, hailing
a cab, which happened to be passing at
that moment, whirled away to place
that was not in Mah's limited geography
of London.
In the course of twenty minutes the
cab stopped and the party of five entered
a magnificent residence. Untile the draw
ing-room was reached Nah was in doubts
as to what was going to be done with
him. There the kind attentions Of his
clandestine acquaintances treasured him
and he entered into the spirit of the oc-
casion as fully as Chinese can.
One Of the ladies tenderly took him
upon her lap and began examining with
evident curiosity his peculiar attire.
''Why. I believe it is a little Chinese
boy" she exclaimed
After a closer examination the others
agreed with her.
at wonder where he could have come
from?" was the question of each at the
same time.

as he repeated his stereotyped stage
speech
He then proceeded to show off. Spin

springs, bending and tumbling in all man
ner Of positions he provided the COM
pany with amusement for at least a good
half hour.
The rest of the story Is quickly told. His
new-found friends were delighted with
their find and celebrated the event in a
fitting manner.
When Che-Mah was taken late that
night to the museum and thence to his
lodging house, he also declared that fogs
are at times good for something. All this
in Chinese, though.
Che-Mah does not think that it is at
all inconvenient to be the smallest man
in the world. On the other hand, he
really appreciates the distinction, and it
cannot be said that he does not enjoy life
as well as he'best proportional man in
the country.
