needle downward or toward a fixed
point when disturbed. A magnetic
north pole is found whenever the
magnetic needle points perpendicular

LONDON THE CINDERELLA
OF THE CITIES
Story OF the Hall for the County Council and the
New Embankment.

For is years the greatest, the
healthiest and the wealthiest city in
the world has been without a civic
habitation worthy of its ancient set
Element and honored name. The size
of London, its power, utility and dig
nifty, have not yet secured adequate
expression in embodied brick, chiseled
stone, or fashioned bronze.
London has been too long the Gin
derella of the cities in the matter of
municipal recognition. Like poor Gin
derela, her county council had to
work and live in the basement dwell
ings of Spring Gardens. Her sisters,
the borough councils and the city cor

themselves in the numerous town
halls and other buildings that have

parliament or the cheerful consent OF
their constituent rat2payers. The
metropolitan asylums board and

have installed themselves in riparian
palaces, so that with greater ease they
can do lesser work. Only the council

Scientists at Washington who have
made special study of the magnetic
pole are not ready to entirely credit
the claims Of Capt. Amundsen that
ne has found, or settled the position
of the north magnetic pole, for if he
has succeeded in finding one, there
are also others.
In fact, magnetic north poles are
many, and they are the most persist
emily unsettled things at present
known. OF course, no one expects
to find a north magnetic pole stick
ing up, lying down fiat, or curving
fnwardly, ingrowing, so to speak. 1t
is sufficient to find spot, or point,
of which one can truly say that it is
the north magnetic pole or a north
magnetic pole, or even that it was
once magnetic pole.
In olden times such point used to
be presumed and calculated from a
very insufficient data. From three
points in the circumference of any cir
Gle it is easy to find the center, and
this method was first tried as to the
magnetic pole; but it wouldn't work.
And now after many years accumula-
tion of theory and fact the more
crooked that great circle, the imagin'
airy magnetic equator, seems to be-
come In fact, the proverbial dog s
hind leg is a straight line in compar'
sson with it.
There used To he talk about the
magnetic meridians and parallel lines
perpendicular to the magnetic equa
tor, but these are all now gone up, SC
far as great circles go. They are ter
ribly devious and mixed up, although
exactly obedient to certain magnetic
laws.

ward almost vertically. Norman's
book was published twice before Gill
bert, the Elizabethan electrician, pub
lished anything. He had the modesty
of true genius, while DR.. Gilbert was
boaster, who rarely gave credit for
any discoveries made by others be-
fore his time.
DIR. c. A. Schott, pioneer magnetic
engineer who assisted in surveying
and settling the new boundary line
between the United States and Next
co in 1S47 and then entered the coast
survey service in 1S4S, made, in 1890,
a map of the region around the sup
posed north magnetic pole. This re.
gion is shown by the elliptical figure
in the map The crop mark at Boothia
Felix shows che spot discovered by
Capt. James Clark Ross In June, 1881,
where the dip of the needle indicated
SO degrees, 5eR minutes, or nearly
perpendicular to the earths surface.
Capt. Ross did not have the oppor'
tunity to get any nearer to the nine
tieth degree, and Mr.. Roald Amund
sen, the Norwegian, started for this
region in the spring of 1908, equipped
for a stay of four years around this
spot His magnetic instruments were
especially constructed for this expe
dition under the able superintendent
of Prof Neumayer, director of the
German naval observatory at Ham
burg, and DR.. Chree, superintendent
of Kew observatory, England.

for all of us to carry out her latest

season by the fact that sealsllin will
be more generally and fashionably
favored than it has been for many a
long day, and remembering-by hear

garment, which in the days of our
grandmothers and great-grandmothers

was the prevailing feminine ambition
to possess, we have the force of con.

lightful smartneSS of design and detail
in the sealskin coat of to-day, with its
contrast of ermine or sable; or, again
some deftly introduced touch of silky
braid or broidered velvet. And as to
the new styles, every figure as well as
every purse can be suited.

include short sacques, smo.t little
short-basuued coats with fitting backs
and dOublebreasted fronts, or longer
models which again display various
degrees of fitting, Then there are
boleros with cape sleeves, and capes
which initiate boleros by being held in
to the waist at the back, while not
able and welcome feature of nearly all
the coats is the extension Of the
sleeves. In many cases they reach to
the wrist, while in almost every case
the elbow is well covered, and the
cuffs, which come below, can be turned
down when desired to give extra pro
lection to the arms, all of which
means an increase in comfort and
decrease in our glove expenditure.
Among the furs which will be most
worn, sable Will, as always, take the
premier place by right Of its exclusive
beauty, while sealslin, as | have al
ready said, is to have a great vogue
and ermine and mink, and the always
smart and serviceable Persian lamb,
are also to be noted. MOleskin also,
which won so much favor last season,
