A Tall Story.

Any one would suppose that there
must be some eagle blood in Mrs.
George Earle's flying hen, says a dis.
patch from Middletown, N. Y. Mrs
Earle lives at Parliaman's Corners,
and has lot of chickens, the only re-
markable one being the flying hen.
The hen is ostensibly cross be-
tween Leghorn and a Dominick, but
hasn't the qualities of either breed.
Some time ago the hen decided to set
and built a nest of sticks and grass
in the very top of a tall tree. She
flew back and forth from tree top to
the ground like crow, carrying the
material for the nest in her mouth.
In the course of this time she filled
the nest with eggs, and has Matched
out thirteen chickens, which she
brought safely to the ground without
assistance.

North Pole almost 100000 square
miles of area is yet to be surveyed,
and at the South Pole lies a continent
more than twice the size of Europe
awaiting exploration.
Not only are the terrestrial poles
awaiting the adventurer, but the even
more important magn ctic poles, of
which there are also two, are not yet
accurately charted. Ross discovered
the north magnetic pole in 1881, but
his instruments were primitive COM
pared with those now made, and the
knowledge OF magnetism seventy-five
years ago did not equal that of to-day.
Ross may have discovered the north
magnetic pole, and he may not have
done so. Capt. Amundsen left Nor
way on an expedition two years ago
to rediscover it and to accurately
chart this important spot. A few
months ago word was received that
the intrepid Norwegian had accom-
plished his purpose, but the report
awaits confirmation. So far as the
south magnetic pole is concerned, it
has never been reached. AS yet no
explorer has held a magnetic needle
over the spot, although Borchgrevink
in 1898, in the Southern Cross expedi-
ton, claimed to have determined its
location. DIR. Frederick A. Cook, who
was a member of the 'Belgica An
tarctic expedition, says that no fewer
than six positions are assigned by
