An interesting attempt is to be made
to locate the magnetic pole by means
OF q small boat and a crew of eight
men, under the command of Captain
Arundsen. The boat is being fitted out
for the expedition at Christiania, and
she will depend upon propulsion from
both sail and small naphtha motor
of sufficient power to supply speed OF
five knots per hour. She will carry a
reserve supply of fuel sufficient for
100 days steady use, though of course
she will be mainly dependent upon her
canvas. The expedition will set out in
April next, and it is intended, If posi-.
BILE, to remain in the ice four years. Ow.
ing to the diminutive size of the vessel,
she will not be able to carry large
supply of provisions, but it has been
arranged to obtain further supplies
from time to time from the Dundee
whalers. A station will be set up and
furnished with self-recording instru.
ments, which will collect scientific
data. The members of the expedition
will make journeys for geographical
and other investigations.

Teachers Learn Something Not In

A number of young women attend
ing a teachers convention at Okla
homa City some time ago learned a
valuable lesson in hygiene through a
sister teacher who says: About a
year ago / had my first attack Of poor
health and it seemed terrible thing
to me for I had always been so well
and strong. My stomach distressed
me terribly; it seemed like it was
raw, especially after breakfast; and
It would burn and hurt me so l could

Il was caused by coffee drinking and
at the request of friend | gave up
coffee and began to use Postum Cof-

something marvellous. / had actually
given up teaching because doctors
were unable to help my stomach trou-

ed and / have gone to teaching again.
Some time ago I attended a con-
yention at Oklahoma City and l de-
termined TO have Postum at my
clearinghouse where there were
eight other teachers, four Of them
suffering from coffee sickness. My
landlady did not make the Postum
right. but showed her how and we
ali found II delicious. We all drank

Is it possible for four men to lift with
out straining heavy man lying rigid upon
the floor? 1t is claimed that by the foul
men inspiring in unison while the one to
be lifted is expiring, they can lift him like
a feather. RUSSIAN MIKE.
We do not think it is possible for
-four men to lift a heavy man lying
rigid upon the floor" without any ex-
ertion on their part. The only explain
alton we can offer for this experiment
is that the act OF attention to breathing
together distracts attention from the
effort of lifting. We have no doubt
whatever that dynamometer placed
between the hands of the lifters and
the man to be lifted would show that a
real stress was put forth equal to the
weight Of the man lifted. 1t is not a
great effort to lift n quarter of man,
and one can do it without taking much
notice of the effort. The explanation is
strictly psychological. There are many
similar examples of putting forth great
efforts without being conscious Of it..
as, for example, one escaping from a
burning building, and carrying a per
son in his arms, may do feats of
strength without knowing it, which
would not be possible under ordinary
circumstances.

Will you please give me a plain-not
cientifc-explanatio of mirage, so that
l may easily understand it?
A mirage is described as reflected
picture Of distant objects, seen in pecu-
liar states Of the atmosphere. If two
transparent media of different densi-
ties are in contact, ray Of light in the
1enser medium, inclined at a small an
gle to the common surface, will not
pass into the rarer medium, but will be
reflected internally. 1t is probable that
when the mirage is seen the atmos-
phere is arranged in layers Of different
densities, varying nearly discontinue
ously, so that light proceeding from
objects in the lower strata suffers in
ternal refieXion,' and form for the OBJ
server the images, which constitute the
mirage; just as in a long, low room,
ceiled with looking glass, he would see
both the end of the room and its in
verified image; or, in other cases, where
the observer and the object are above
the heated stratum, he sees it and its
image as if formed by reflection in
water.
