THE sage Of P0SSUM FORK
TALKS TO BOYS AND GIRLS OF
THE GEOGRAPHY CLASS.
Some Interesting Reflections Sug-
gested by Lieut.. Peary's contem-
plated Polar Expedition.
(For The County Record.)

see that Llehlenan! 1e"IS
wants to 90 again on that fear
fully dangerous expedition, a
search for the north pole. Old
time people used to say the earth
was fiat, but il it were not round
like a ball the sailor could not
determine his whereabouts, his
latitude or longitude. The sun
would rise at every place the
same time and when noon came
at one place it would be noon at
every other place.
A graphic proof Of the spherl
cal form OF the earth Is found by
the telegraph. Let New York
telegraph to London just at sum
rise and ask the time Of day IN
London, and they will telegraph
back that the sun is about four
hours high. So, if you have
Greenwich time and your own
local time, there is no trouble TO
get your longitude. Therefore
the sailor, has only to keep Green
wich time with his chronometer
and compare it with his loca!
time in order 10 get his longitude
east or west, and take the ai,i-
tude OF say the north star to get
his latitude.
But a, the north pole, east and
west are done away with, for all
the meridian lines of longitude
come together there in poin,
and every direction is south. No
east! No west! The sun does not
rise aud set tor six months there.
If it is winter you would he at
the pole whenever the north
star is overhead, but in summer
you could not see the stars, and
the position oil the north pole
would he known when you have
found the place where the sun
seems to 60 round and round at
the same height; which in June
would look 10 be about one hour
and a half high, dwindling down
10 nothing in September when 1t
sinks to rise no more until next
March.
The compass, reckon, would
have curious behavior loo in
that high latitude; for you know.
or may know, it is nearly always
pointing away, more or less, from
the true pole and the mariner is
always making corrections of its
variations for different localities,
which are all charted down for
his reference. In South Carolina
the difference is only about one
|or two degrees, but in Mains it is
eighteen degrees to the west and
in Washington territory the va.
ration is about twenty two de-
grees to the east. But no one
has been to the north pole to ties:
its behavior there. You then
would be about 1900 hundred
miles north of the magnetic pole
(which you can find on the map
OF North America, on the penin-
salar of Boothia near the 10Th
parallel Of latitude) where the
compass needle tries to stand on
its head, So, if Lieut.. Peary goes
to the pole and back, | want
him TO hTlpg a record OF
the needles behavior beyond the
"north magnetic pole", for if l
were sent for to sarxey piece of
land up there l woald not know
how to deduct for it's peculiar va
riations in that region.
ofen find people who think
the compass needle points always
to the true pole, but not so. No,

STRIKERS HAVE
CHANCE To WIN
Colorado Miners Stand by the
Smeltermen.
NINE MANAGERS WEAKEN
WILL NOT SHIP ORE TO UNFAIR
MILLS.

Cripple Greek. Colo. March 1s.-The
Western Federation Of Miners has
thus far won a signal victory in the
battle which it is waging in support Of
the striking millmen at colorado City
With very few exceptions the mines APP
preached by the executive committee
have agreed not to ship ore 10 the mills
of the United states Reduction & Re
filming company
A committee representing the miners
met with Manager De La Yergne at the
Elkton mine at 8 O'Clock this afternoon,
and after presentation Of the case OF
the federation. AR. De Ia Vergne
agreed for the present not 70 ship 70
the interdicted mills. Mr.. De la Vergne
said:
I have nothing to say as TO a settle
ment beyond that the Elkton viii con-
tinue work If there had been such
men as this committee in charge Of
things from the start there would have
been no strike. They are eminently
fair and broad minded men. am nov
satisfied that the trouble viii be en-
A44ElN settled WlllAlll tSAA AfAt
After a conference the miners an
nounced that the Elkton had agreed
not to ship to the unfair" mills. I'm
less something Unforeseen occurs the
end of the strike IS close at hand so far
as the Cripple Creek district is con-
cerned.
The mines which have shut down are
the independence, $50 men; Isabella, 100
men; Thompson, fifty men, and the
Granite. forty men, a total Of $40 men.
Added to this the men who have been
laid or because of the cessation Of
shipments, the total number of men
out of employment Is about 200
The big Portland mine and those OF
the Woods companies are not affected
by the situation, as their ores are
treated az their own mills.
None of the mines has indicated any
intention to fight the federation. STRAIT
toms Independence has only the en-
gineers and pumpmen at work, and the
same is true of the Thompson and the
Granite. The Isabella win completely
cease operations.
