BY REV. THOMAS 3. GREGORY.


Robert Louis Stevenson. best be-
loved OF literary men since the days
OF dear old Charles Lamb. was the
son OF a civil engineer and 1t was the
fathers purpose that his profession
should be continued in his son.
Robert Louis Stevenson a civil en-
gineer! Not so," The wise old
Fate was already saying TO herself.
Never will consent TO such cruel
and outlandish arrangement. My
dreamer and singer shall not chafe
his soul away in that mathematical
treadmill. | will see TO 1t that such
outrage does not happen"
However, old Mr.. Stevenson had his
way for the time being, and Louis was
educated with an eye out mainly for
bodybuilding road-making and tun-
nel-boring. Fortunately for the world
Fate beat the old gentleman. and
Louis was failure as a civil engineer.
But old Mr.. Stevenson had the
strength OF character that Is so char.
aoteristic of Scotchmen. and, since his
son had fallen down on the civil en-
gineering proposition, he would start
him out along the way of the law
He should not become one OF these
worthless literary fellows" at any
rate.
So Louis studied the sages for the
usual time, managed to pass the re-
quired examination. and in the year
1875 was duly admitted TO the bar.

The destinies had another good
laugh on old Mr.. Stevenson, and the
"briefless barrister," tired OF the mon
otony OF pacing around parliament

through Belgium and Holland.
Home again, and still under the

he became a candidate for the chair

candidature failed to materialize. and

WHY Discover the Poles?

In the third place. the discovery OF
the poles will give us better knowl-
edge of the rotation OF the earth, and
on that rotation more things depend
than we are apt to think. For in
stance it has been discovered within
a few years past that the earth is not
regular in its rotation; the poles wan
der about a little, and II has even
been thought that TIE prevalence OF
earthquakes may depend more or less
upon this wabbling motion Of the
poles. The poles themselves are mani

BY GARRETT p. sERVIss-

The success OF Lieut.. Shackleton IN
getting within 10 niles of the SOUTH
pole of the earth, and the certainty
which his achievement brings that
within a few years, az most, somepody
will stand on the pole itself, calls UP
once more the question that many
people are fond of asking: w nat ,
the use OF all this risk, effort and ex
pense? What shall we gain II men
do reach either one or both OF the
poles?" Back of that, perhaps, Is the
always underlying question: Is tnerc
any money in it?
The usual answer to such questions
is that science will gain lmmenseIy
by the discovery of the poles, nut
most people care very little Tor thc
gains OF science unless they nave q
practical application. Now II Is not
difficult to show that the kind OF
knowledge involved In the discovery
of the poles will be very practical IN
deed.
In the first place. the whole question
of the magnetism OF the earth is IN
volved. II Is true that the magnetic
poles. so far as we know them. do not
coincide in position with the geo
graphic poles. but until observations
have been made at the poles them-
selves we cannot be sure that there IS
not an important relation between inc
two. II is known that the magnetic
poles. for some reason not yet compre-
hended revoIve around the real poles,

cation is extended 10 the poles. There
Is hardly any question with which
science deals that has more important
practical bearings than this For years
all civilized governments nave been
striving to get at the bottom facts CON
corning the erratic conduct OF the
magnetic needle. on which the posi-
bility of navigating the seas depends;
but until the investigators can study
the subject from the vantage point OF
the actual poles, complete knowledge
OF the subject will be impossibls.
In the second place. 60 reach the
poles means TO be In position TO
solve important questions concerning
the laws OF atmospheric circulation.
We have had abundant evidence dur
ing the past winter Of the incomplete
ness Of the science OF meteorology.
The poles arc the eerters of relatively
calm regions. where. according to pre-
yailing theories. currents OF air origl-
nate which spread over the earth
toward the equator. producing cold
waves that sometimes extend into the
middle attitudes and upset the atmos'
phere there. The hot air rising from
the equator travels toward the poles,
cools off. descends and comes back ny
