POLAR DAYS AND NIGHTS.
Day, Which Is Summer Is Not So
Bad, but the Night Is Awful


During a polar winter the average
thickness Of ice on the ocean where
no storms or strong tides interfere
reaches six feet or more. There is
really no warm season. Even during
the long summer days snow still falls
frequently. Clear spells are relatively
warm, but. especially in the antarctic.
fogs snd clouds are frequent. while
winds bring low temperatures
Nevertheless the summer near the
margins Of the arctic zone il described
in the Journal Of Geography as having
clean, pure. crisp ali, free from dust
and with little precipitation
The mon0tony and darkness or the
polar night Is decreased a good deal
by the long twilight. due to the high
degree OF refraction az low tempera-
lures. The sun actually appears and
disappears some days before and after
the times which are geometricalIy set
for the change.
Light from moon and stars and from
the aurora also relieve the darkness.
Optical phenomena OF great variety,
beauty and complexity are common.
Solar and lunar haloes and coronae
and mock suns and moons are often
seen. Aurorns seem 70 be less COM
mon and less brilliant In the antarctic
than in the arctic. Sunset and sunrise
coiors within the POLAR zones are de-
scFibed as being extraordinarily bril-
liant and Impressive.
Thus the north polar summer, IN spite
Of Its drawbacks. Is in some respects
pleasant and healthfui season. But the
polar night is monotonous, depressing,
rcpelling, an everlastlngly uniform
snow covering. rightly. lifeiessness. ST.
ienee. except for the howl Of the gale
or the cracking Of the ice
Small wonder that the polar night
has sometimes unbalanced mems
minds. The first effects are often
strong desire FOR sleep and indlffer-
ence. Later effects have been Sleep
lessness and nervousness, tending in
extreme cases TO insanity. aaaemia,
digestive troubles.
EXTRAORDINARILY low winter teIpeth-
lures are easily borne II the air Is dry
and still hansen notes mot very
coldg at a temperature Of % degrees
when the air was still. Another arctic
explorer at 0 degrees says, ct IS too
warm TO skate"
Zero weather seems pleasantly re-
freshlng II clear and calm. But high
relative humidity and wind, even a
light breeze. give The same degree OF
cold penetrating feeling OF chil
which may be unbearable Thus the
damper air OF spring and summer usu-
ally seems much colder than the drier
air OF winter, although the temporal
lures may be the same. When exposed
directly to the nlr. the skin burns and
bisters, the lips swell and crack.
Thirst has been much complained OF
By polar explorers and is surely due 70
the active evaporation from the warm
body into the dry. relatively cold air
There IS no doubt. that polar air IS
slngulsrly free from micro organisms,
a fact which is due chiefly to lack Of
communication with other parts Of the
world; hence diseases which are com*
uon IN temperate zones. colds among
them, are rare.

STORIES or scorcH JUDGES.


Lord Salvesen in IN address ~
Edinburgh recalled the old days when
human life was held very cheap and
judges frequently INDUCED In ievity
when life was at stake.
On one occasion Sir Francis Bacon
was nightly importuned" by a male
factor to save his fife. All Appeals
failed and the culprit at length
pleaded for mercy on account OF MS
kindred. "Your name" said he. Ii
Bacon and my name IL Hog, and In
all ages Hog and Bacon are 30 nearly
kindred that they are not to be sepa-
rated" AYE, but" replied the judge,
you and l cannot be kindred except
you be hanged, for Hog is not Bacon
until It be well hanged"
Similar callousness was evinced Dy
Scottish judges even as late as the
18th century. Lord Braxfeld seemed
Ia have taken a positive pleasure In
obtaining convictions In cases and IT
was he who told an unfortunate cul-
prit that he was a very clever Fellow
but that he would be name the waur

On another occasion, when this
Judge noticed a juryman who was
personal friend entering the court ne
exclaimed: "Come ava Mister, come
ava, and help me to hang q few o

In 1870 Lord Kaimes presided at

CLOCK ALI or CLASS.
Bohemian Workman Produces Work
ING Model After elk YsarS Of Labor.


! A somewhat futile feat Of painstak-

after six years Of continuous work in
the construction Of . working clock,
every part Of which except the springs
'is made Of glass. The constructor 10
q Bohemian glass polisher named
Joseph Bayer, who lives In Theresien-
thai and who Is now II years old.
The plates and pillars which form
the framework are of glass and are
bolted together with glass screws. The
dial plate, hands, shafts and cog
wheels are of glass, and glass wedges
and pins are used for fastening the va
rious parts of the running gear to-
gether.
All these parts are ground to the
average proportions Of the metal parts
of other clocks of the same size. The
teeth of the cogwheels are cut with
minute exactness. Only the balance
wheel is heavier and thicker than It
would be in an ordinary clock, but It
is fashioned 80 as to properly con-
troll the movement of the machine.
Like the clock itself. the key with
which 1t is wound is Of glass. The
completion of the work was a mat
ter Of infinite pains. Some of the
parts had to be made over and over
again as often as 40 times before q
clock that would 60 and keep time
was produced. The builder sets
price on the finished model of $500
marks, or about $625. Labor is cheap
