CURING far from the Pole it is mo-
remarkable that polar research was fo-
years supplanted by more general Arc
tic field work. Peary has been the
most successful Arctic worker who eve,
sought the Pole, yet he has had terri
BILE experiences. On one of his expedi

of his party was lost In a crevasse. On
another journey northward the intrepid
explorer himself had to have a toe

TerrOrs of the Arctic.
To Peary the Far North has few ter
rors, yet even he is willing to admit
the terrors are there. Hunger and
starvation" he says, shave played an
important part In many Arctic expedi-
tions, yet it should be remembered that
they have played an equally prominent
part in expeditions in what are consid-
cred more favored regions. Careless
ness or acknowledgement, or inexperi-
ence, or carelessly considered taking
of chances, may make them a serious
menace anywhere In the world. In
regard to hunger, as in regard to dark
ness, how many Of my readers know
what real hunger Is? do not mean
the hunger of the man who has slowly
starved to death inactive until he Is
semi-conscious and life is but the faint
est spark. Such hunger 1 have never
known.
What l do mean Is the hunger
which a man feels who has for weeks
been working to his limit, In the biting
air of the Arctic regions, on half ra-
lions or less, till he is only gaunt ma
chine of bones and sinews the hun
ger of man whose heart and lungs
and muscles are working, overtime,
whose stomach Is thin as q sheet Of
paper, but whose blood Is still red and
hot, and every drop Of it calling for
meat.
That Is the hunger which leads a
man to jump on bear or musk OK that
he has just killed, lift the skin with his
knife, and fill up on the delicious raw,
warm meat, without waiting for the
useless luxuries of fire or salt. The
hunger which, when a dog dies in har-
ness, makes a man stand off the other
dogs, till he himself has eaten"
He is just as Indifferent to the in
tense cold which seems to freeze the
very air, when tempered steel and sea-
soned oak and hickory become brittle,
soft iron becomes as hard as steel, mo-
lasses and lard are cut with Ratchet,
petroleum turns white and grows thick
like ice cream, and ones breath turns
instantly to ice."
In spite of the sufferings of cold,
hunger and fatigue which beset the
seeker of the northern apex of the
earth, Peary has proved that properly
organized expedition composed of the
right sort of men may safely reach
high ATTITUDES. and perhaps even the

each Of his dashes over the polar pack
Peary has surpassed his own former
efforts. In 1902, he exceeded his own
best performance In northing by thirty
one miles, and now dwarfs that splen-
did work by going 1877 miles nearer the
Pole than he had ever before been, and
about thirty-seven miles further than
his closest competitor, Captain Cagni.
If Peary can equal this ratio in anoth-
er dash, the North Pole, the greatest
geographical prize. will be his, for he

ing that he was within about 203 stat
ute miles Of the point where the terres-
trial axis breaks the surface of the
earth.
Attraction for Explorers.
The North Pole has been an attrac-
ton to explorers only In recent times
say within the last quarter century.
The early explorers did, indeed, dream
of reaching 90 deg. north, but that
was only half of their vision. The
other half included a descent on the
other side. In brief, they sought a
short route to the Far East. which

The FAN Flowing.

The question of fall blowing Is de-
batable one in the minds of most farm
ers. The practice seems to grow more
common upon trial in some neighbor-
hoods and to fall into almost total dis
favor In other sections. Upon the roll
ing lands which are so common there
Is little question that it Is Justly con-
demned, If, indeed, it is good practice
anywhere, says an exchange. Some loss

course, the condition Of the labor mar
ket affects the amount Of fall blowing
undertaken or accomplished to very
considerable degree, but Independently
of any and all Of the factors mention
ed, fall blowing may be expedient in
some cases. The writer has done very
little fall blowing during recent years,
but this year the pillow will be kept go

'The North Pole" said Commander
Robert q. Peary before starting on his
latest expedition, "is the last great
geographical prize which the world has
to offer to adventurous man; the prizs
for which the best men Of the strong
est, most enlightened, most adventur-
GUS nations of the earth have been
struggling unsuccessfully for nearly
four centuries; the trophy which the
grandest nation Of them all would be
proud to win"
Peary's hopes of the prize are found
ed upon his extraordinary knowledge
of the Arctics. He spent the greater
part of ten years In his reconnaissance
of the Great Ice Cap of Greenland.
Having conquered this immense Arctic
Sahara, he turned his thoughts toward
the attainment of the North Pole in
1897.
Following Is the northernmost record
made by the various Arctic explorers:
Peary. April. 1906 81 deg. min.
Cagni. $500. May, 1900 SO deg. "a min.

Climate and Consumption.
Only few years ago one suffering
from consumption was thought to be
incurably Ill, and doomed to a death
which, although perhaps slow, was in
evitable. Modern scientific knowledge
has changed all that. 1t is now known
that tuberculosis taken in time Is quite
amenable to treatment, and indeed Of
ten gets we'll Of itself without any spe-
cial effort on the part of patient or
physician.
The modern treatment Is mainly cli-
matte, that Is to say, a removal, If pos
sible, to some part of the world where
the climatic conditions are such that
the patient can pass most of his time
In the open air. But If this were all
that is needed the question would be
much more simple one than 1t really
Is. 1t Is indeed the main, but not the
only thing
1t Is desirable also that the place of
residence Of the consumptive shall be
dry, sunny, and free from high winds
and dust. Whether it shall be in tho
mountains or near sea-level, In the so.
called temperate zone or in the tropics.
Is a matter to be determined by cir
cumstances. Some persons prefer warm
air to cold; others suffer from heat and
feel well only in cold weather. Nat
urally the patients inclinations are to
be consulted in such case, for 1t would
be cruel and disastrous to send lover
Of the tropics to winter in Minnesota.
and equally cruel to compel q snowbird
to live in the West Indies.
A climate that will be beneficial in
one stage Of the disease may be harm.
full in another. Elevated regions, for
example, are suitable as rule only for
cases Of consumption in the early
stages, and may aggravate the condi-
tion at later stage, when the patient
has had one or more hemorrhages. At
a very advanced stage no climate. how.
ever ideal, will compensate for the IA
tigue and dangers Of long journey.
and home is the only place.
But after all that can be said for the
climatic treatment of consumption. the
main thing is the open air, and that
one can get without the trouble and ex.
pense of travel by simply keeping win
dows open day and night. 1t Is harder
to follow out the open-air treatment In
large city than 1t is in Colorado or
southern California or Jamaica, but IL
can be done, and no one need forego its
benefits while there are windows In
walls, or while there Is space In which
to pitch tent.-Youth's Companion.

TIPS IN JAPAN.
There the Innkeeper Is Not Forgot
ten When Guest Goes Away.

There the Innkeeper Is Not Forgot
ten When Guest Goes Away.
IF you hotelkeepers should ever be
told OF the japanese method of tipping,
why we would all have to take to the
woods" said a far eastern traveller, in
the New Orleans Picayune. I'm a jap
anese hotel you give the proprietor the
biggest tip Of all when leaving and
grade the other tips accordingly.
when your bill is handed to you II
Is customary to wrap up In a separate
piece or paper an amount approximate
Ing about one-f1fth of the whole account
and give that to the worthy innkeeper,
together with the regular amount re-
Quired of you by his account, which YOU
indorse In the folded bill. Then you
wrap up smaller sums In smaller pieces
Of paper and parcel these Christmas
packages out among the servants who
have waited on you.
This tip to the boniface Is called
chodal, or tea money, and the Japanese
explain Its usage after this manner of
reasoning:
All hotel charges in Japan are forced
by law to be very low, SO that even the
very poor man who finds himself on
the road Of nights can get food and
shelter for nominal sum. The rich
man has to pay no more than the beg
gar.
Since the hotel man could not make
living If this order Of things were al
lowed to exist, without some saving
grace, some recompense must be made
to the hotelkeeper for his enforced gen.
crosby. Therefore, 1t is argued, If a
guest can well afford to give the host
something more than he asks he not
only provides for those less fortunate
than himself, but he tends himself
against the evil day when he may have
to ask beggar's board and bed. 1t Is
not charity TO the innkeeper, but mere
ly wise provision against possible hard
times.
But II a man whom the worthy host
believes to be able to afford generous
chodal leaves the hotel without paying
the same. woe betide him should he
ever return to that hosiery again. He
will get last chance at the communal
bathtub, will get the most drafty room
In the house, and In hundred ways
be made to feel that he is the most mis-
cradle of men,"

Africa. A northeast passage was first
looked for, and then passage by way
of the northwest. Although the explor.
ers encountered floating ice they do not
appear to have started out with the
same respect for the frozen barrier
they subsequently admitted.
About the middle of the sixteenth
century Edward VI. sent out Sir Hugh
Willoughby to find northeast passage.
1t appears to have reached Nova Fem
bla, and was subsequently lost. Forty
years later Barentz reached II deg,
named the great sea he discovered
Spitzbergen, had some exciting expert
ences, but failed to find an open pass
age across the North Pole. Henry Hud-
son tried to find the passage between
Spitzbergen and Nova Zembla, which
would lead across the Pole, but, al
though he failNl, he was the first ex-
plorer to get into the sos of north latl-
tude. He reached 81 deg. north in
1907, and 900 years were to pass before
Parry surpassed this record, when, in
1927, the English navigator reached 80
deg. 40 min.
The quest Of the Pole Is of compare
lively cent origin, If the early at
tempts to effect northwest passage
are not put in that category. Barentz,
Willoughby, Chancellor and Hudson
were the first to discover the difficulty

Value of a Good Cow.

what are the cows worth that pro-
duce 400 pounds of butter per annum ,
Here l am going to make a statement
and undertake to prove it correct, says
a writer in Successful Farming. When
COW that produces 200 pounds Of but
ter per annum at food cost of S39
and labor cost of $3.50 Is worth $35,
the cow that produces 400 pounds Of
butter annually is worth $500, and the
owner can make net SIC more from her
after paying interest on the $500 than
he can from the cows that produce 200
pounds of butter. There is no more
labor connected with the 4OO-pound
cows than there Is with the 20O-pound
cows. The price at which butter has
been credited, namely, 20 cents a pound,
Is the net price from the creamery after
the making has been paid for. In this
herd the increased cost Of feed for the
40O-pound cows was more than offset
by the increased amount of skim milk,
SO we have the 200 pounds increase of
butter as net profit over the 2OO-pound
COW. Two hundred pounds of butter at
20 cents is $40. We have $500 Invested
In these cows, which at per cent in
terest Is $24, which we will deduct
from the $40, and we have left SIG to
the credit of the 400-pound COW.
