In the territory where the nam

Antarctic EeeentrIeItles.

tic and Antarctic, say that the cold
in the latter is less severe and the
atmosphere drier. A curious phe-
nomenon they did not expect. and
cannot explain, is the fact that the
cold winds In the Antarctic were
usually north. while the comparative
ly warm winds were southerly. They
saw icebergs of the most fentastic
shapes. resembling houses, churches
and steamers. Tho sledge dogs
struck work repeatedly, and the men
had TO do quite as much pulling as
the animals. In the western sledge
journey an ice-slide was descended
In one minute ten seconds. 1t took
three days TO ascend the same slide
on the return journey. the siedees be-
ing hauled up by block and pulley.

When we reached the spot 1t was
winter and everything was frozen so
hard that 1t was quite impossible to
do anything in the open air. So we
built 4 hut over the body and kept 1t
heated day and night. Thus we sue

As each piece was cut of it was
wrapped in grass. bandaged and then
stitched into hides.
As we had to make our way for
many hundreds of miles through
tracliless tundras to get back to a
settlement of any kind. we could not
think of transporting pieces greater
in weight than 200 pounds or so,
and even as It was we had immense
difficulty in carrying the invaluable
find safely over the thousands of
miles of waste to Russian territory.
We had to go by water and land,
on foot, with horses and with rein
deer In various stages of the journey
and 1t was with vast relief that we
finally delivered the remnants intact
to the civilized world.

The appearance of the body led
us to conclude that the beast had been

of fractures in the bones pointing
to the same conclusion. Whatever 1t

Northeastern Siberia. managed to Sc
cure the remains In excellent condi-
tion. The mammoth has now been
set up in the geological museum of
the society. reconstructed exactly. as
was made possible by the large
amount OF material.
The preservation of the remains is
hest shown by the fact that the skin
saved by us weighed 500 pounds alone.
Only part of the skin over the back
of the skull and the trunk were miss
ing. These had been destroyed most
ly by wild animals. The skin over
the skull was easy to reproduce. as
we knew exactly what it had been
like. But the trunk has not been re-
constructed entirely. because we are
still In the dark as to the true APP
pearance of its extremity.
As there was great deal of hair
left on the parts of the mighty body.
we have been able to mount the beast
SO as to show how heavily this ele-
phant was furred. It was easy to un-
derstand how the creature managed
to survive even extreme cold weather
and to bear II in comfort
This mammoth. which has been ly-

ion that teachers OF young children do
not sufficiently appreciate the impor-
tance of training the ear Of the pupil
to detect the difference In sound be-
tween pure and impure English. IT, as
daily exercise, scholar who speaks
carelessly is forced to repeat phrases
over and over. first correctly and then
Incorrectly, for comparison, the ear
catches the tune--if II may be SO
termed-of the pure speech and learns
to mark the difference. In this way
a better speech may be acquired-if

made in the church for century
but between 1875 and 400 great
works were undertaken. The upper
portion of the Round was taken down
and re-erected as 1t now appears. The
massive tower and spire were built
at the west of the Round. and are of
fine proportions. The south aisle. the
old east end, and the south porch
were erected at the same period.
From the Reformation until 1851 the
church grew more and more dilapi-

the town. In that year, however. a
strong committee was formed, funds
were collected and the work of resto-
