Bowser received a Christian burial,
which is less than lots of unfortunate explor-
ers have received for their efforts.
The north pole is a peculiar thing. 1t shifts
about from day to day and not over a year ago
a Swedish scientist allowed to escape his sys-
tenn the assertion that the pole was moving
towards Siberia. OF course if the north pole
keeps on moving like that, how can it ex-
pect to be discovered2 ask skeptical persons.
The reason the north pole is said to be play
ing hide and seek is said to be this:
The earth ~revolves on it's axis from west to
east. Hence centrifugal forces tend to pull
the regions of the equator outward, thus CIV
ing the tendency to fatten at the poles. This
fattening process is irregular and as a conse-
quence the top and bottom" OF the earth
tend to fit about from place to place.
Try this scheme with a rubber ball. Soft
rubber is best; it shows the flattening better
than hard rubber. Push a nail through the
ball, making it an axis, and then tie strings to
each end of the nail. Hold the strings in your
right hand and twirl them over your head.
During the twirling you notice that the ball
becomes fatter at each end and bulges slightly
on the sides. That's why the poles are shift
ing. The earth moves at a rate of 10 miles q
minute around its axis. Each day In revolv-
ing it has a journey of $4,000 miles, its cir
conference, to accomplish. It moves about ~
times as fast as the Chicago-New York 1S-hour
special. Is it any wonder it is fattening?
The dream above, which transplanted q cln'
zen of the United States of the year lSOs 70
the year 1899. hence furnishes an ordinary ex-
ample Of things which may transpire when
Peary, Baldwin or WeHman discover the north
pole. Nobody has yet tried to discover the
pole by the subway route. but somebody Will
some day, and soon after they'll convict HIM
of insanity.

The most novel and perhaps the
most insane project which was ever
sprung for finding the pole was that
of Capt. Bowser, a Chicagoan; who was
a martyr to his scheme. He, too,
was firm in his belief that he could
find the pole in his especial, private
way. He aimed to roll to the pole in
a round ball with small holes at each
end. He got as far as South Haven,
Mich, which is a summe resort. He
reached South Haven in the winter
and he was found frozen on the beach.
The wind and waves carried Capt.
Bowser Is miles across Lake Michigan
from Chicago, but the indications
were that his death occurred half way
across the lake. Inside of his round
shell he lay upon a board around
which the object revolved, it being
hollow.
BOWser received a Christian burial,

FRUIT MAY COME
HIGH THIS YEAR
SHORTAGE IN THE PEACH CROP
MAY CAUSE THE FRUIT TO
SOAR sKYwARD.

Macon, Ca, jane 21.-Comnnission
men, representative OF the larger
fruit dealers in the northern and
eastern cities and local growers have
just realized that the peach crop viii
be far short Of the average yield in
this portion OF the state. For three
days no little concern has been shown
and the unrest that has attended the
shipping has caused feeling 10 pre-
vail which. it is believed, viii push
the price for Elbertas high above that
Of last year before the end of the
coming week.
Commission men working from this
point have been very much interested
in the condition. and are beginning to
fear that their waiting for the crop
to ripen will last through the season
without netting good results. Own
ers who were in the orchards south
Of Macon last week returning yester-
day for the weekend at home show
ed marked disappointment about the
quality of peaches that are promised.
II is said that the Elbertas which
must so to market during the next
two weeks will be the largest portion
Of the crop in this section, other va
rieties having proven sparse and I'M
satisfactory in quality.
The prediction in Macon is that
next week will witness scramble
in the local market for fruit in car
load shipments, and a consequent in
crease in the price TO be paid The
man who owns good orchard this
season has the prospect at present Of
realizing very handsome returns. In
this community there are more deal
es calling for peaches than usually
get into the market In this commun-
ity.

Brunswick and Giynn county win
be ably and creditably represented at
the Inauguration OF Georgia's next
governor Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, mex:
Saturday.
The occasion will be entirely shcrn
OF the hurrah and fireworks inciden.

Among other things to be recom-
mended by Governor Smith, accord
ing to these rumors, is the b,lish
ment Of the prison commission Cf
Georgia. While nothing IS definitely

Some Mexican
 Postal Pointers

Letters are being mailed to Mexico from prominent firms in tbe United S'ate- having j-cent stamp in lieu of the 2-cent denomination, showing their lack of knowledge of the postal laws and ignorance of the fact that rates of postage are the same in Mex leo as in the United States and Canada
 American stamps and stamped ecvel- opes have also been inclo-ed fer replies. One important point Tn the Mexican law is, that the government does not contract to deliver mail ad- dressed to a city on which the state does not also appear. There are s number of cities of the same name in the different states, and a failure to write the name of the state, ss well as the city, relieves the government of responsibility for i:s delivery. A parcel-post treaty between the United States and Mexico Is in force and much can he saved by shipping small articles by mail instead of express.

Ore Samples Take
 More Postage

A Washington dispatch of Aug. : says: By recent ruling of the post office department samples of ore sent through the mails to asssyers will draw the straight letter postage of cents an ounce where the name of the metal for which the ore is to be as- sayed appears on the outside of the envelope.
 For the past thirty years sssayers have been receiving regulation assay envelopes from miners and prospect. ore with the words assay for" print ei on the outside and the name of the metal written in. These metals have been taking the fourth-clsss rate of l cent an ounce and it was not until re- cently that lt was discovered that the law regarding fourth class matter did not cover this case. Assaysrs have been instructed that in the future such mail will De considered first class mat ter, real-d or unsealed if the name of of the metal for which the assay wa, to be made appeared on the envelope.

Arguments Favoring
 Funding County Debt

Cochise county tax rate will eo about S2 l5 this year. This rsi.e Sill be occssioned because of the IT, crease of the territorial tax tie maL- datory road tax and the natural in crease of expenses in our rapidly grow ing county. There is some talk oi bond issue to take up the fl ating debt Of the county, which is in the neighborhood of sloO,000. The people who advocate funding the debt say that thls would put the county on a cash basis, cut the prevailing rate Of ipterest down to ] per cent instead of !, and otherwise act to the welfare of the taxpayers of the county. Then there is another argument put forth by these advocates, and that is that 1t makes tLe burden lighter on all taxpayers now, gives us need ed improvements and makes those taxpayers Of the next few years pay their share of the things in whict they benefit directly.

The remarkable scenes yesterday at Cour D'Alene are expected to SO ln be duplicated in Arizona when the rich lands of the Yuma reservation will be thrown open to settlement. Arizprs people wall then have 6 splendid op. portunity to get fine lands for prac- tically the price of s filing fee-that is fl they are lucky in the drawing. s..But beware of swindlers
 The Citizen few days ago pub lished dispatch from Washington saying that swindlers were using the coming Yuma reservation opening to swindie prospective homeseekers by means of advertisements, claiming to be able to locate settlers for cousid erstion on choice tracts of the reser- vation and to furnish application blanks and information concerning details oi the opening.
 Don't allow yourself to he the vic. | tlIl oi these men.
 The governments official announce ment of the present status of the opening of the Yuma reservation lands is as follows:
 "rhe tune and method of opening these lands have not been decided up on by the Secretary of the Interior When the matter has been settled bl the department notice will be giver through the public press and all nee esssry blanks can be obtained at tha time without charge. Until and afte such an announcement all request for information should be made to tn, office of the reclamation service Washington, D C.. or to the projec engineer at Yuma"
