reading that is particularly adapted
to the season. From an editorial an

be several new features presented in
early numbers. Among them the
most noteworthy in promise, as shown
BY the first paper in the June number
are the Ellen Terry Memories
There could be no more fascinating
reading than Walter Wellman's ac-
count Of his preparation for a voyage
to the Pole in flying machine to be
made in July. Wellman's article is
to be printed in June and July. It

Girl, Who Struck Him.

st. Louis, Jan 12.-For five years Joseph
Teddar. youth twenty years old, has
appeared in various parts Of this city and
vicinity alternately as "a girl and a boy
He has been a cook. a chore boy. hous@-
maid, a grocery boy, a cash girl, a stable
boy, and even masqueraded as a dancing
girl on the Pike at the Worlds Fair.
His singular existence became known
yesterday when he was arraigned in court
on complaint OF a young womaa who as
serted he had been annoying her. Her
charge was not sustained. aud the gil,
became so angry when he was released
that she struck him.
Teddar came to St Louis five years
ago from Little Rock. Ark He found il
difficult to obtain employment F.iends
had often chided him on his cffenlnate
manners and glrlish appearance. This
Inspired him with the idea to den skirts
and seek position.

He easily found a place with Broad

After a few weeks he became tired OK

position In male attire ne became er-
rand boy for a grocer at Eighssonth and
Wash streets. At the end OF two morths
he went To Hazel Hill and acrpDfed a
place as chore boy for a former.
But the farm work was too heavy fer
his gentle nature. and he again donned
skirts. He applied for a position as
maid at a Market street house and was
installed in charge Of the culinary de-
partment. He cooked. washed dishes,
darned socks, and was considered the
ideal housemaid.

ExPLODEs ARCTIC MYTH.
Peary Shows That the Photographic
Sea Does Not Exist.
From the New YORK sun.

From the New YORK Sun.
1t was proved by Peary in his long
journey westward along the coast Of
Greenland last spring that the paleO-.
crystic Sea does not exist. 1t was thirty
years ago that the world first heard Of
it. When Mares sailed up through the
Smith Sound channels to the Arctic
Ocean he saw instead Of the open sea
that Kane had reported an ocean
blanketed with foe ice deeply covered
with snow. Rising here and there
above the general level were huge
masses Of ice, not at all like the Green
land icebergs with sharp points and
irregular domes, but presenting verti-
cal walls and fat upper surfaces like
the enormous cubic blocks of ice that
are seen in Antarctic waters.
Mares therefore changed the name Of
this part of the Arctic Ocean from the
open sea to the PaIeocrystic Sea, or in
other words. the sea Of ancient ice.
Greedy found later that while the
pack ice rarely exceeds seven or eight
feet in thickness many of these erratic
blocks were from 90 to 500 feet thick.
Greedy also discovered that these
masses were not composed of frozen
sea water but that they originated on
the land The theory was adduced that
they were formed on comparatively
level plains and were pushed forward
into the sea and set adrift as Ice RATS
For many years there was much specu-
lation as to their place Of origin and
their distribution over this part OF the
Arctic Ocean.
Peary has now shown that the place
Of origin OF these prodIgious, fat-top-
ped masses Of ice is not far to seek. As
he went westward on his Journey to
complete the survey of the Grant Land
coast he discovered that to the west of
Cape Hecla all the shores are covered
with a continuous glacial mass having
= width of from one to fifteen miles
This extensive ice formation has no
enormous elevation, but every headland
is buried under it and all the bays are
filled with It; and from it's outer edge
in summer huge fields of the ice break
Off, forming the sO-called paleocrystic
foes. As the current is to the east
they are foated away to the Lincoln
Sea, where Mares and Greedy saw such
numbers OF them.
Peary's discovery increases the prob
ability that, as has been conJectUred.
the higher masses of this glacial Ice
are formed by enormous ice pressure
which brushes some of the blocks
together and forces others under the
mass At any rate they are not OF
ancient origin. and the name OF Pale
ocrystic Sea is a misnOmer.

The records show that Teddar has
been placed in institutions for wayward
girls several times. He was once in the
House Of the Good Shepherd, and again
in the House OF Refuge. Or. Jacob J.

Teddar was under observation several
times. He came TO the dispensary some
times as a girl and sometimes as q boy.

A new and interesting point in the
study of the occult is being discussed
in London. 1t is the effect of diet on
dreams and communication with the
spirit world It is suggested that to o5-
tain clear dreams-dreams which are
free from anything of a fantastic. hor-
rible, or distorted nature-it is not only
necessary to retire to rest with the
mind calm and contented, but the BODY
also must have been nourished with
light and easily digestible food. Most
persons have experienced nightmare
due in the great majority of cases to
a heavy meal before going to bed; but
apart from this, no person, it seems,
can attain the perfect dream without
a special course of diet.
3. A Coehrane, who is an authority
on the subject of dreams, which he has
studied for years, says:
Il have discovered that no clear
dream is possible on the ordinary diet.
No meat, or similarly heavy food, or
anything containing alcohol must be
taken if the right kind of dream is to
come. l am Unitarian myself, and
fruit is the best kind of food for the
perfect dreamer, although anything
very easily digestible will serve the
purpose. Such a diet will enable per-
sons to get into actual touch with the
spirit world, and they will be able to
recall their dreams on the awakening"

GREAT EVENT IN cHRisTENDoM.
worlds Sunday school Convention
to BE Held in Rome

to BE Held in Rome.
| Next month. in the Eternal City" of
Rome, Italy, there will be held one of
| the most important and far-reaching
gatherings of the time-the Fifth
| Worlds Sunday school convention.
| Previous conventions were held in Lon
don in 1889 and 1898. in st. Louis in
1898, and in Jerusalem in 1904. but the
coming assemblage is expected to sur
pass them all in interest and results.
Extensive plans are already in opera
ton to make it gathering unique in
the history of the Christian church.
The thousands of delegates and work
ers in attendance will represent o., 900
Sunday schools, with 26,000,000 men,
bers, from Iceland to Cape Colony, and
from Alaska to Tibet Men and women
speaking more different tongues and
representing more different sects and
creeds will meet in harmonious con-
clave to promote Gods kingdom than
probably ever before in history. While
the official language of the convention
will be English, sectional conferences
will be conducted in German, French
and Italian. The convention will last
four days, from May 20 to the 23d, and
will be held in a large hall in Rome.
But the most unique meeting of the
gathering will be vesper service,
which it is planned to hold within the
ruins of the Coliseum. 1t will truly
be memorable scene to witness men
and women of all languages and
tongues singing praises to God on the
spot where the blood of martyrs of our
faith was shed in the early centuries
of the Christian era.
The "calr' for the fifth convention
has been issued by an international
committee of business men and minis
tiers representing the Sunday school in
terests of the world. The body is COM
posed Of eleven men for the United
States, an equal number for Great
Britain and others for Germany, Swe-
den, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico and
Canada.
DR.. Bailey, the head of the world
committee, is a business man of Phila-
delphia, who is one of the foremost
Christian leaders of that city. and has
long been actively identified with the
Sunday school interests of America,
having been for many years treasurer
of the International Sunday School AS
ISOLATION.
The American delegation will go to
Rome in a specially chartered steamer,
the Romantic, just as the delegates in
1904 attended the Jerusalem convention
in a special ship. This cruise will con-
stitute one of the most valuable fea-
lures of the convention, for meetings
will be held on the steamer all the
way going over and returning, and as
stated by DR.. Bailey, several mission
airy conferences will be held The Ro-
manic is expected to leave Boston April
y and en- route to Rome the delegates
will visit the quaint and beautiful ISL
and of Madeira, as we'll as Gibraltar,
Algiers, Naples, Pompeii, Genoa and
Pisa
