crn sky. 1t is said to be the "Star
of the Wise Men" who were guided
to the birthplace of Christ by its
magnitude and brilIiancy, and ii is
visible for IA short time every 300
years. The astronomers from their
lore, however, say that the brillancy
Of the star and its great size is due
To the conjunction Of two of the
great planets, and in the day of
Christ it was the conjunction Of
Mercury and Jupiter. This year
there was "A conjunction of Jupiter
and Saturn on tn" sd of August, SO
it is more than likely the great mag
nitude and hrilliancy is due to this,
for it is the brightest and largest
star that has been seen for years.
II can b" seen about nine o'clock or
II little later in the eastern sky, and
it rises with great rapidity. There
are some religious people who think
II is a forerumner of the coming of
Christ aud that the millennium is APP

OF Bethlehem or n conjunction Of
Mars and saturn, it is well worth
seeing.

On the night of Aug. 10Th, at a
railroad crossing near Kennett, n
train struck wagon containing a
party of young people on their way
to church, and five children Of one
family were killed. They were the
children OF farmer named Hyde,
and ranged in age from twenty-six
to twelve. The only surviving child
in the family is boy of fourteen,
who had been sick and could not go
to church, and the father remained
with him. The verdict of the jury
called to view the bodies was that
it was owing to criminal careless
on the part of the engineer of the
train in not blowing the whistle Mt
the crossing.

The arrogance of such Repub-
lican leaders us Aldrich, Cannon
and their ilk, and their contempt
for the masses in contradistinction
to special class privileges, may yet
serve to open the eyes and under
standing of the people to the diff
ference between democracy and
plutocracy. Present conditions
are not so much a question of par.
ty utilization as they are of equal
and exact privileges to all, but
party preiudices aud associations
are hard things to break through.

~ URING two days of chilly blus-
ter the sleds were forced along
~ with encouraging results, and
on the evening of March &c,
with q pedometer and other method
of dead reckoning for position, we
were placed at latitude 81 degrees
SO minutes. The western horizon re-
manned persistently u~ndisturbed. A
brisk storm, it seemed, was gathering,
but it was a long time In coming
eastward. On the evening of the 26th
we prepared for the blast and built the
igloo stronger than usual, hoping that
the horizon would be cleared by a good
blow on the morrow and afford us q
day of rest. The long, steady marches,
Without time for r~ecuperation, had be-
gun to check our enthusiasm.
In the daily monotony of hardship
we had learned to appreciate more and
more the joy of the sleeping bag. 1t
was the only animal comfort which af-
forded a relief to our life of frigids,
and with 1t we tried to force upon the
weary body in the long marches a
pleasing anticipation.
In the evening, after the blocks Of
snow walled a dome in which we could

did not respond to 9 loud call
After a little search a blowhole was
located. and in response to another cal
came Eskimo shouts. Violent efforts
were made to free their bags, but the
sno settled on them tighter with each
tussle.
I was surprised a few moments later
as l was digging their breathing place
open to feel them burrowing through
the snow. They had entered the bag
without undressing and half emerged
with shirt and pants on, but without
feet.
After a little more digging their boots
were uncovered. and then, with pro-
tected feet, the bag was freed and
placed on the side of the igloo. Into

coats. l rolled out to their side in my
bag.
Move on Refreshed.
The air came in kissing spouts, like
jets of steam from an engine, but soon
after noo of the Doth the ice under
Il heads frightened. 1t became pos
sible to breathe without being choked
with floating crystals, and as the ice
about the facial furs was broken q lit
tie blue was detected in the west.
The dogs were freed of snow entan-
clements and fed, and a shelter was
made in which to melt snow and make
tea. A double ration was eaten, and
then the sleds began to move again.
Soon the sun burst through the sep
arating clouds and raised icy spires In
towers of glitter. The wind then ceased
entirely, and a scene of crystal glory
was laid oyer the storm swept fields.
With full stomachs, fair weather and
a much needed rest, we moved with In
SEPARATIONS anew. Indeed, we felt re-
freshed as one does after a cold bath.
The pack had been much disturbed,
and considerable time and distance
were lost in seeking a workable line Of
travel. Camping at midnight, we had
only made nine miles for a days eff
fort.
Awakening in time for observations
on the morning of the Both, the wealth
er was found beautifully clear. The
fog. which had persistently screened
the west. had vanished. and land was
discovered at some distance west, ex
tending parallel to the line of march.
The observations placed us at latitude
S4 degrees so minutes, longitude 95
degrees 36 Minutes
A Long Coast Line.
In the occasional clearing spells for
several days we had seen sharply de-
fined land clouds drifting over a low
band of pearly fog, and we had ex-
pected to see land when this veil lifted.
We had, however, not anticipated to
see so long a line of coast. The land
as we saw it gave the impression of
being two islands. but u observations
were insufficient to warrant such an
assertion. They may be islands; they
may be a part of a larger land extend
ing far to the west. What was seen
of the most southerly coast extends
from SO degrees 20 minutes to So de-
grees 81 minutes, close to the one hun
dred and second meridian.

ed the hummocks and piled up the
snow in large dunes like the sands OF
home shores.
The snow house was not cemented
with water. The tone Of the wind did
not seem to indicate danger, and, fur
thermore, we were beginning to real
lie the great need Of fuel economy.
We therefore did not deem it pru-
dent to use oil for the fire to melt
snow, except to quench thirst.
Not particularly anxious about the
outcome Of the storm and with senses
blunted by overwork and benumbed
with cold, we sought the comfort of
the bags.
Buried Under the Snow.
Awakened In the course of q few
hours by drifts of snow about our feet,
1t was noted that the wind had bur-
rowed holes In the weak spots through
the snow wall. Still, we were bound
not to be cheated out of a few hours
sleep, and with IN eye open we turned
over. Later | was awakened by fall
ing snow blocks.
Forcing my head out of the Ice In

been swept away and that we were

In these troubled areas we were CIV
en- frequent opportunities to measure
Ice thickness, and from our observa-
tons we he re come to the conclusion
that the ice during one year does not
freeze to a depth of more than about
ten feet. But much of the ice of the
central pack reaches a depth Of from
twenty to twenty-five feet, and occa-
sionally we crossed fields fifty feet
thick. These invariat... showed signs
of many years of u q upbuilding.
1t is very difficult to surmise the
amount of submerged freezing after
the first year, but the very uniform
thickness of the antarctic sea ice leads
to the suggestion that a limit is reach
ed in the second year, when the ice,
with its cover of snow, is so thick that
very little is added afterwarG from be-
low.
Increase In size after that is prob
ably In the main the result Of addi-
ton to the su~perstructure. Frequent
falls of snow, combined with the al
ternate netting and freezing of sum-
mer and a process similar to the up
building of glacial ice, are mainly re-
sponsible for the growth in thickness.
The very heavy, undulating fields
which give character to the mid-polar
fee and escape along the east and west
coasts of Greenland are therefore most
ly augmented from the surface.

Tea In an Hour.
The fur stuffed boots were pulled,
and the bearskin pants were stripped.
Then half Of the body was quickly
pushed into the bag. A brick of penn
mican was next taken out, and the
teeth were set to the grind of this
bonelike substance. The appetite was
always large, but a half pound of cold
withered beef and tallow changes a
hungry mans thoughts effectually.
The tea. an hour in making, was now
ready, and we rose on elbows to take
it. Under the influence OF the warm
drink the fur coat with it's mask of ice
was removed. Next the shirt, with its
ring of ice about the waist, comes off,
giving the last sense of shivers. Push
ing farther into the bag, the hood was
pulled over the face, and we were lost
to the world of ice.

absent. The mind, freed of the agita-
ton of frost, wandered to home and
better times under these peculiar cir

sense with the touch of ones own
warm skin. while the companlonship
of the arms and legs, freed of their
cumbersome furs. makes a new dis
covery in the art of getting next to

In the Heart of a Storm.
On March 81 it blew a half gale at
night, but at noon on the following
day the wind eased. The bright sun
and rising temperature were too
tempting to remain quiescent, and,
though the west was still darkened by
threatening clouds. the dogs We're put
to the sleds and off they went among
the wind swept hummocks. We had
not gone many miles before the first
rush of a storm struck us.
Throwing ourselves over the sleds,
we waited the passing of the icy blast.
There was no suitable snow near to
begin the erection of a shelter, but a
few miles northward vas a promising
area for camp. and to this we hoped
to take ourselves after a few mo-
ments' rest. The squall soon spent its
force, and II the wind which followed
good progress was made without suf-
fering severely. The temperature was
