Not so the European. Every woman
who has lived in Europe feels the striking
difference between the two types of mas
~culinity. The American men may seem
more moral and perhaps more wholesome,
but undeniably more dull. The Frenchman,
the Italian, the Austrian, are so much
more entertaining, and while their pro-
posals are conspicuously infrequent without
a knowledge of the bank book, as enter
tanners they could make an American man
open his eyes. They do not lie back and
smoke, and expect the woman to entertain
them. But they find her a comfortable
chair and play Chopin to her, they invite
her to take tea i'm charming corners, they
plan moonlight walks and sunset rides,
etc, etc. They feel the obligation to be
interesting, and I must say that they sue
coed in a fashion that makes the average
American mar seem like a dull, gray, awk-
ward boy in comparison. Part of this
foreign notion of a mans place in society
may be based on artificiality Of manners,
or deceptive advances, or what you like.
But part Of 1t is the honest conviction that
women are to be courted with care and
attention, that the game is worth the
candle, and that reluctance or Indifference
on her part means for them not collapse,
hut battle. They have too much respect
or themselves to be as Indifferent as the
lverage American man to matters Of art,
Ociety, or in fact anything but the one

got over his terrified admiration Of the
nimbleT sex, cultivate his capacity to con-
tradict her and even bully her now and
then, he would get what he wanted in
wives as he has done in every other de-
partment OF life.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. 9.-State-
wide prohibition has been made TO
pear the responsibility for a 81 per
cent increase Of crime in Alabama
for the last two years, i'm the re-
port Of Attorney General CARRIER. The
principal increase, according to his re-
port, was in the violation Of the
prohibition law, which is effective in
almost every county. The attorney
general also cites the increased Wig

There we're 2O,672 criminal cases

Il am unable to offer a rational or

be assigned as the reason. 1 am re-

For the last ten years latitude observa-
tions have been conducted by the interna-

Americas share in this discovery, one Of

observations OF the latitude at Harvard

WAyDERINCS OF The POLE
Axis Of the Earth Shifting Irregu-
larly by Small Amount.
RESULTS OF MANY OBSERVATIONS
Simple Methods by which Explorers
Could Determine Their POSI-
tton Ft or Near the
Pole.

In these days Of keen public interest in
the brilliant achievements Of our fellow
countrymen in reaching the North pole,
Il may be OF interest to know that the
precision Of modern science has demon
strated that the position Of the pole is
not constant with respect to the surface
Of the earth. In other words, the axis OF
the earth Is shifting irregularly by a very
small amount. A small amount, indeed,
and the marvel Is that II can be detected
at all. for the extreme range Of variation
Of position Of the pole does not exceed
sixty feet. II may thus at one time
be thirty feet away from the pole Of fig
ure," or geometrical pole Of the flattened
earth-sphere or spheroid; at any other date
II may be found to be thirty feet from its
central position in the opposite direction,
or sixty feet from where It was at first
And these minute changes are measured
from stations three thousand miles away,
or distant one-eighth Of the circumfer-
ence Of the earth!
While the wandering of the pole, or vari-
alton Of latitude is now a universally ac-
cepted fact Of geodesy and astronomy.
the story is worth telling Of how 70 came
to be more than a hazy hypothesis occa-
sionally suggested to account for discrep-
ancles in other observations. 1t must first
be stated that all astronomical observa-
ton, giving absolute positions Of celestial
objects in a north and south direction,
depend upon a prior knowledge Of the lati-
tude Of the observatory. If the latitude
Is in error or varies then all star deolina-
lions are in error by that full amount.
Thus we see the Fundamental Importance
of the problem for all such astronomical
work.
Serious and unexplained errors Of this
sort had for two centuries been noted in
the work of the most skillful astronomers
of Bradley, the astronomer royal, at the
early part Of the eighteenth century, and
his successors; and at other well equipped
Institutions.

Extent of Variation.

The question was raised whether it was
possible that the position Of the earth's
axis within the earth varied by an appreci-
able amount. The problem had, indeed,
been treated theoretically by the cele-
brated mathematician, Leonard Euler, who,
in the middle of the eighteenth century,
concluded that there might be a motion
Of the geographical pole with reference to
'the earth's surface in a period of 35 days,
The great German astronomer, Bessel,
some eighty years ago, expressed the opln-
ion that such shiftings of the pole were
probable, but the instruments of his day
were not accurate enough to show 1t. At
the imperial observatory of Pulkowa, near
st. Petersburg, the astronomer Nyren made
a most careful determination of the lsti-
tude with the vertical circle and reached
the conclusion that the variation Of latl-
tude did not have the theoretical period
Of Euler. Thereupon Sir William Thorn
son 0ater known as Lord Kelvin pointed
out that that period could not be existent,
because it's amplitude and phase must be
~irregularly variable. He also showed that.
instead Of being very minute, the varla-
lions Of latitude might have a range Of
one-half second about fifty fee).
An adequate cause for at least a part
of the variations might be found in the
shifting Of ice, water and air from the
pole toward the equator, and its return.
In a publication of the Berlin Obser-
vatory In the year 1888 DR.. f. K~uestner,
then the observer there, now director Of
the observatory at Bonn, added to the
title with Investigations on the variation
Of the latitude" He concludes that his OBJ
servations and discussion show that
changes in the latitude up to several tenths
of a second occur ~irregulaTly in short in
tervals and he proposes that, in the inter
est Of astronomy and geodesy, the question
be more Thoroughly investigated by stimuli
taneous observations at appropriately Sc
lected stations on the earth. This suE-
gestion which had been made as early as
1888 by an Italian astronomer, Prof. Fer
gola) was soon In effect, and concurrent
observations OF the latitude. using the
same stars, by the Talcott method, were
in progress at Berlin, Pottsdam and
Prague from January l, 1883, onward, At
the end Of 1890 Prof. Albrecht, to whom the
reductions were intrusted, could say that
the fact OF the change in latitude was
beyond question. The next step was to es-
tablish a station of the opposite side Of
the earth from the European observator-
les; and in April, 1891, two skilled OBJ
servers were sent, one from Germany and
one from the United States coast and
geodetic survey, to Honolulu to make con-
tinuous observations there.
The expected happened, and II was found
that the latitude OF Honolulu decreased
as that at Berlin increased. and vice versa.
The cause could, therefore. be only a
shifting Of the axis within the earth.
