October /. Two men are always sent
together as ENTHUSIASTICALLY young
man and one of middle age. Their
duties are: First, to locate and run
the boundary lines of the domain,
blazing the way on trees and opening
trails: then they must "travel' the

the definite rules to be observed.
They are supposed to keep watch
of camping parties and people jour-

dry weather every part OF the limit
must be visited within certain num-

co in 1S47 and then entered the coast
survey service in 1S48, 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 the spot discovered by
Capt James Clark Ross in June, 1881,
where the dip of the needle indicated
SO degrees, 591a minutes, or nearly
perpendicular to the earth's 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 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.
1t was confidently expected that
Capt. Amundsen would be able to find
a spot where the dip angle would be
80 degrees, and he may have succeed
ed, as such spot could not be far
from Boothia Felix. But the greatest
difficulty arises from the fact that the
much-blamed spot moves. AS the Sec
ular change in the earth's magnetism
moves at present in a northwesterly
direction at the rate of five-eighths Of
a mile year, the north magnetic
pole would be found further south.

ladyship at the castle gate, and now
stood in the presence of the Lady AL
ice.
Tom had met her often, riding her
black horse upon the road to the sea;
but so gracious and stately did she
now appear, and above all expectation,
beautiful, that hardly did he dare lift
his eyes to ners.
She seemed to watt the fragrance of
her beauty all about her; her voice was
music in his ears; and she was speak
ing to him, Tom Forsyth, as though he
were among the number of her friends.
Finally he found his tongue and
blurted out his news.
We've a visitor down yonder to-
night, your iadyship."
"A visitor, Tom?" How the white
face flushed at this!
Yes, your ladyship, and an uncom-
mon queer one, too; not a mug filled,
though he's been there an hour or
more
The Lady Alice smiled family; then,
of a sudden. the blush deepened
Tell me about him, Tom; what is
he like?"
Tom was no hand at describing an
other man: but he did his best
But the Lady Alice appeared no
longer to be listening to what he said
Her growing agitation, though, would
have been exciting and alarming to one
who had observed it closely; but Tom
was far too busy with his narrative to
take such notice or to find an affront in
her indifference. But there was no
more astonished man in the Castle than
he when this quiet, stately girl of a
sudden put her hand upon his in an
impLlSive gesture and said in a sweet
voice: Tom, if | may wish to send a
message to your stranger, shall l find
the ferryboat upon our side in an
hours time?"
Only curmudgeon could have re-
sisted such a voice.
Yes, my lady; you send message. -
The full hour passed after Tom
reached the ferry before a blue-eyed
page boy from the castle came racing
down and commanded him to put him
across upon the instant. Tom saw the
lad disappear behind the lights of the
inn; lie was gone not above a quarter
of an hoIr when he came racing back
again.
1t was long after supper. in fact,
close to the hour of midnight, when
the Traveller who had so mysti1ed mine
host, Joel, and his satellites, slipped
by a side door from the Castle Inn.
The moon shone round and full.
He made straight for the ferry and
crossed, plying the oar himself. In
half az hours time he was conversing
with a cIoaked figure without the cas-
tie gate. They were speaking OF the
Lady Alice's brother; but deeper
thoughts were unspoken, and would
remain so if their destiny wllled it.

for a Party of Small Guests
Try a New England
Breakfast.
A Spool Party.

This party was certainly novelty
for the II little guests who were in
vited to spend the hours from three
to five with the six-yearold hostess.
The Oldest child asked had passed her
ninth birthday and she proved de-
cided help in assisting to amuse the
younger ones.
First dolls were made by inserting
a pasteboard nose in slit and doing
the face with tiny brush and black
paint (ink VIA do), toothpicks were
stuck in Sits for arms, and the chill
dren were greatly interested in the
construction of these wooden men.
Then bowling alley was made by
inverting one end of an ironing board
and arranging spools at the other like
ten pins. A prize was given to the
child making the best score.
Coarse needles and colored Irvine
we're provided for a spool strfnging
contest, with another prize, and when
refreshments were served there was
a spool-shaped candy box (bought at
the favor counter) filed with sugar
peppermints for each child to take
home. So, good mothers, save your
spools If you want to provide some

A New England Breakfast.

A hostess who has spent the sum-
mer at a Massachusetts coast resort
issued invitations for this breakfast"
to eight of her friends. The hour was
half after eleven, and the spread was
so unusual to the usual fashionable
menu that the guests were delighted.
With the exception of few added
frills, the hostess said it was the
breakfast which was served her on
Sunday mornings by one of the fore
most of New England housekeepers.
The table was spread with plain
damask cloth, glass bowl filled with
pink and crimson dahlias was center
piece. There were no candles or arti-
fetal light. On either end of the table
old-fashioned latticed china fruit dish
es stood, filled with various fruits.
These were passed, then white corn
meal mush in blue canton bowls was
served with cream and sugar, hot
rolls, Goldfish balls, scrambled eggs,
Boston baked beans in brown earthen-
ware ramakins and genuine Boston
brown bread, followed by hot dough
nuts, some cream cookies and coffee,
which the hostess poured herself.
After this innovation in gastronomy,
the hostess showed a rare collection
of New England antiques, heelless
slippers, lace collars, some silver
spoons, one of which had much worn
point from stirring custards and the
handle bore the initials of the eldest"
daughter for many generations and
had just come into the possession of
the hostess.

There was a merry company In the
parlor of the Castle Inn when the
stranger entered there.
He appeared to be a man of some 30
years OF age, with a youths face and
fine figure of his own; upright as
drill sergeant, and with such pair of
eyes THAI, as Tom Forsyth, who kept
the ferry, said afterwards, it was
lucky for the maids of Brede that the
darkness cloaked them.
Joel, the landlord, looked the travel
er up and down, and his fat face took
wrinkles of merry fat. He breathed in
with satisfaction. Rare was the day
when o stranger in a gold-laced vest
drew rein at his door Such men, as
rule, were ferried across the river by
Tom Forsyth and rode on to my lords
castle upon the hill. There was no
other road from Brede but to my
lords house or to the sea.
After the stranger had retired to the
inner parlor, nine host haZarded the
opinion to Tom the ferryman that the
stranger came with some news of my
lords son, whose ruin in the gaming
houses of London had long since ceased
to tickle evil tongues.
To which Tom Forsyth added the
venture that such a visit BODIED no good
to the castle, and that the Lady Alice
should know 1t forthwith. Herein,
however he found no supporters; for,
said The wise heads of the company,
'''Tis not for the likes of us to put
our hands into that KETTLE" and so, in
lieu Of it, they filled the little brown
mugs and listened at the inner parlor
door and reported every circumstance
of the strangers behavior, as they
viewed it through the glass of the in
ner door.
HE be attacking to hisself-that's
what he be a-dOin-a most unOrdinary
thing" said Roberts, the grocer.
'He be counting his guineas-a sack
full, ncighbors! IT'S lucky for he that
he lies at an honest house"
In the silence that followed no one
noticed that Tom Forsyth had left the
room.
But IN the meantime he had crossed
the river, demanded speech with her

WANING OF THE HONEYMOON
Trying Period Is the First Few Months
of Married Life.

In the first months of married life
there are necessarily very many diff
ferences to be adjusted and small in
compatibilities of ways of thinking
and feeling to be reconciled. That,
as all experienced spouses know, is
the trying period. Marriage is like
life in that it is a school wherein
whose does not learn must suffer.
Now, to diminish the friction of this
trying time, no better lubricant could
possibly be provided than romantic
love, which cannot be expected to last
forever, but which may very probably
outlast this greatest necessity for 1t
of the early connubial period. When
the glamour of the romance fades
into the light of common day" and
real man and a real woman take the
places of the creature of the others
fancy, and passion cools into at best
the tenderest of friendships, both par
ties are better off, and will acknoWl-
edge themselves to be better off be-
cause the romance has been expert

A Rose Luncheon.

Pink is always a satisfactory color,
both to hostess and guests, and a
Rose" luncheon is the prettiest affair
imaginable. The table may be left
bare, with individual doilies, or lace
cloth over pink used. A plain white
damask cover, with pink rose buds and
petals scattered over it is always good.
Use pink candles, rose shades in hold
ers of glass or silver, and for the most
stunning centerpiece suspend square
basket filed with pink roses and
maidenhair fern, with pink satin rib
bons or tulle streamers from the
overhead light to within about six
inches of the table.
The place cards are pink roses cut
from water color paper and painted.
Cut them out in rose forms and write
half of a rhyme, either original or
from Mother Goose" on it. In the

of paper containing the other half.

Scientists at Washington who have
made special study of the magnetic
pole are not ready to entirely credit
the claims Of Capt. AmundSon that
he 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 north magnetic pole stick
ing up, lying down fiat, or curving
inwardly, 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 a 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-
ton of theory and fact the more
crooked that great circle, the imagin-
airy magnetic equator, seems to be-
come. In fact, the proverbial dogs
hind leg is straight line in compar-
ison with it.
There used to be talk about the
magnetic meridians and parallel lines
perpendicular to the magnetic equa-
tor, but these are all now gone up, SO
far as great circles go. They are ter
ribly devious and mixed up, although
exactly obedient to certain magnetic
laws.
Three hundred years ago the fact
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1906-10-25

was discovered that the earth is a
great magnet. Before that time the
pole star itself was supposed to at
tract the magnetic needle. Even
Shakespeare was of this belief, which
he expressed in the phrase true as
the needle to the pole" And Chris
TOPPER Columbus did not know what
to think when he could find by his
rude apparatus that the needle did
not follow it's supposed law.
Scientific observations are being
made now nearly all over the world,
first as to the direction of the mag
netic needle, whether east or west of
the polar direction; second, as to its
dip or inclination toward the center
of the earth, and, third, as to the in
tensity of the force which draws the
needle downward or toward a fixed
point when disturbed. A magnetic
north pole is found whenever the
magnetic needle points perpendicular
ly to the horizontal plane of the
earth's surface. This dip" or down
ward pointing of the needle was dis
covered by Robert Norman, seaman
and instrument maker, in 1876. The
discovery of the dip" of the needle
helped the early philosophers to
break away from the idea that the
attraction for the needle was in the
heavens, and especially in the region
of the polar star.
The Chinese knew the attractive
power of the lodestone as early as the
second century of the Christian era,
and in the seventh century the Japa-
nese had a cart device ON which was
a magnetic figure pointing south.
Norman left a drawing showing
both the variation needle and the dip
needle in one view, the variation nee
die being in the horizontal position
and the dip needle pointing down
ward almost vertically. Normams
book was published twice before Gil
bert, the Elizabethan electrician, pub
lished anything. He had the modesty
of true genius, while DIR. Gilbert was
a boaster, who rarely gave credit for

north, and longitude SO degrees 40
minutes and As seconds west of Green
witch.
When Capt. Amundsen has succeed
ed in making up his records, the re-
suits, if correct, will show the present
location of the supposed north mag
netic pole, and the distance it has
travelled since June, 1881; from which
also the rate of progress may be APP
proximately made out, while at the
same tine it will be understood that
the magnetic pole has been travelling
over an unblazed and perhaps very
crooked trail from long before 1881
to the present time, and leaving tenn
porary north magnetic pole by the
thousand all along the line.
It will be noticed from DR.. Schott'S
map that the magnetic North Pole is
not to be found within 20 degrees Of
the geographical North Pole. There
fore. as the earth turns around on it's
axis, the magnetic North Pole des-
cribes a circle around the geographic
cal North Pole every day. Conse-
quently, in addition to it's regular line
of travel, the magnetic North P1le
may be said to "wobble around"
But this need not be looked upon az
cratic, as the geographical pole is
known also to wobble around an i'm
aginary central line lying in the gen.
eral direction of the pole star.
After the magnetic pole has been
definitely located, the questions will
arise as to how it got there, how long
it has been there, and, finally, what is
the cause of it, and why is it any
