is that the hole has been bored slanting,
and the position in which the bit is held
must be corrected before boring another.
To enable the beginner to bore cor
rectly and at right angles to the surface
considerable practice will be necessary.
This practice may be acquired by placing
a piece of waste board in the bench wise
and boring one hole after another
changing the position of the brace and
bit until the marking of the depth gauge
on the surface indicates that the brace is
held correctly. Then change the position
of the piece and practice boring dowel
holes into the end of the board until sat
isfactory results are obtained. To use
a brace and bit correctly, especially
when boring for dowels, will require the
same careful and painstaking practice
as for the back saw, the plane or any
other tool.

POSSESSION OF THE POLE
Uncertainty of the Location of the
Extremities Of the Terres-
trial Axis.

Avaricious folk are occasionally ac-
cused of a desire to acquire the earth,
while some others would cheerfully give
all the remainder of the globe for the
possession of that intangible thing, an
extremity of it's imaginary axis-the
northern one preferred. 1t is so common
to speak of this as 'the pole" says the
Philadelphia Ledger, that we practically
ignore the southern extremity, and
sometimes forget that every whirling
celestial body must perforce have two
poles. 1t is similarly so with reference
to the celestian poles, which are simply
the points in space toward which the
terrestrial poles are directed and which,
of course, bear not the slightest physical
relation to our globe. These sky-points
are perpetually shifting at very slow
but uniform rate, because the sun and
the moon disturb the balance of the
earth by their attraction of the slight
equatorial bulge of the latter. This per-
turbation corrects itself in a regular
period of nearly $4,000 years.
In this, however, there is no derange-
ment of terrestrial latitudes, which re-
main relatively the same; but within
score of years a somewhat grave COM
plication has come to light. Kustner,
at Berlin, proved in 1888 that latitudes
vary by a very slight amount, and OBJ
servations made at various other parts
of the world have unquestionably con-
firmed the fact. Under the auspices of
the International Godetic association
four observing stations have been
planted on the same parallel of latitude,
two in the United States and one each
in Sicily and Japan. For several years
flower observatory of the University Of
Pennsylvania, has cooperated in this in
teresting and dainty investigation with
the zenith telescope.
This vagary of the pole must be occa-
stoned by shifting of the earth's axis
from causes within itself, and is prob
ably due to arrangements of the mat
ter composing the globe-a problem of
balancing. Very great surface changes
in the interior, might account for the
effect. But whatever the cause, it has
been definitely determined that there is
aspecies of double movement of the pole,
involving an annual revolution in va
riable ellipse some 80 feet in length and
a circular revolution of somewhat small
er diameter with a period of approx
mately 42S days. The motion in each
case is in direction contrary to that of
the hands of clock. 1t is the glory of
professional astronomy that so small
quantity is discernible.

The case which follows will be read
with great interest by all sufferers as it

disease chronic erysipelas and said it
would be a long time before got well.
Inflammation began on my face and
spread all over my body. My eyes were
swollen and seemed bulging out Of their
sockets. I was in terrible plight and
suffered the most intense pain through
out my body. The doctor said my
case was a very severe one. Under
his treatment, however, the infiamma-
ton did not diminish and the pains
which shot through my body increased
in severity. After being two months un-
der his care, without any improvement, I
dismissed him.
"Shortly after this, on the advice of a
friend, began to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, two at dose
three times day. After the second box
had been used I was surprised to notice
that the Inflammation was going down
and that the pains which used to cause
me SO much agony had disappeared. Af-

and around the house attending to my

Dowel joints are used almost eX-

upholstered furniture of every kind, as

legs are comparatively small and the
