what he is going to do with it after find
ing it1 Sufficient unto the day is tn,
evil thereOf" 1t will be tire enough
after it is found to speculate on its disPo
sitiou. But, possibly, he will take piece

Quite hunk will be necessary to manu-
tacture into tOoth-picks, besides wha
the street gamins vend- they'll furnish
their own wood. It will not do to take
il ell, nor to cut 1t off too low; it will bt
necessary to leave enough for CommO
dore Peary to hang Panama hat on
thus wedding the torrid zone with the
Arctic climate. 1t is almost certain that
none Of this pole will be distributed south
of the equator. If that portion of the
world south of the dividing line want
any pole, let those interested discover
the South pole and distribute 1t around.
And if the daring navigator who shall
discover the South pole, shall act in a
manner similar to that which Commo-
dore Peary is supposed will act, and put
Panama hat on his pole, then will the
blending of communications with the
keystone at the equator be accomplished.
Then can telephone lie be estab
lished from each pole via the equator,
longitudinally around the world. This
statement may appear somewhat Chi
merical; but there is no drawback to
American ingenuity and American cap
ital; and the limits to its discoveries and
inventions have not yet been reached.
1t may be no mad freak of idealism to
suppose that by the time the Panama
canal is finished-it is estimated it will
take eight years to complete the job
both the North and the South poles will
have been discovered, and the telepho-
mic communication that we have hinted
at, be not an absurdity but reality.
