The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-01-21
German Aunor,

The tendency of the German comic
papers to employ continuously the
same characters as producers Of
mirth" is the subject Of an article in a
Berlin paper by Ludwig Bauer The
writer mentions as the most conspicu-
GUS Of the funny figures the absent
minded professor whose habitual UNI
brella losing proclivities have made
generations laugh. This figure had Its
origin at time, he says. when the
man OF letters was a helpless person
in the active world-a dreamer DWELL
ing in realms away from the actual
and therefore blind to his surround
ings. In this form he has been rep
resented In the comic papers. But
Germany, he thinks. not the professor.
has been and Is being caricatured The
professor today must be wide awake
man, for science Is no longer an is
land. These are not the days for sleep
and for dreams. Another abused char
acter is the lieutenant who, having no
foe to fight, is always shown as MAX
ing conquests where Amor has COM
mand. The old maid Is another OF the
stock figures, and one of equal .mpor-
lance is Mr. Newlyrich. or the latter
it Is said: 'He is always full of fear
and suspicion. He knows that he has
been misplaced, and he sways from
side to side like ttmid rope walker.
This makes him really funny, and we
must laugh at his antics"

Toward the Pole.

Ice eight feet thick on the ocean and
snow falling even in summer-such is
the weather experienced In the polar
regions. When the air Is dry and still
It is remarkable how low a tempera-
ture can be borne with ease. One ex-
plorer tells us that with the thermome-
ter at 8 degrees it was too warm for
skating. The summer weather In this
region is, moreover, in some respects
pleasant and healthful. Within the
arctic zone there are wonderfully col
ored sunrises and sunsets to be seen.
They are both brilliant and impressive.
But the nights-the nights are monot-
onous and repelling. A rigid world
buried in everlasting snow, silent save
for the cracking Of the ice or the wall
Of the wind. Travellers In these re-
gions experience many discomforts.
The keen air causes their skin to burn
and blister, while their lips swell and
crack. Thirst, again, has been much
complained of, arising from the action
Of the low temperature on the warm
body. -, .:....

Huntina the Maribou.

Hunting the marabou is attended
with great difficulty, as the bird pos
sesses wonderful cunning and often
contrives to outwit the most skillful
hunter. With laughable dignity 1t
measures the ground between itself
and its pursuer and takes very good
care not to exhaust itself by too rapid
fight. If the hunter moves slowly the
bird at once adopts an equally easy
pace, but If the hunter quickens his
steps the bird is off like an arrow. It
is very difficult to get within gun
range of this calculating creature, but
the natives adopt novel means Of
capturing it, which the bird, with all
its astuteness, Is unable to compre
bend and falls an easy victim. A
tempting morsel of meat is tied to the
end Of long stout cord, which the
skillful hunter filings to a great dis
lance, as he would lasso, the bait
falling as near the fleeing bird as he
can aim it. He then conceals himself
hastily behind a bush or crouches low
on the sand. The marabou, which al
ways keeps it's eye on the hunter, see-
ing him vanish, quietly stops and de-
yours the bait, when It Is easily Sc
cured by the hunter, who runs toward
It, coiling the rope as he goes.
