Berger says that Jeffrles will be

ger will be there to meet him, and

something to say in regard TO the d.
vision OF the prize money. Johnson.
as all the world knows, is on record
that Jeffries may make It IS and

Before Berger returns East he Will
hear what the coast promoters have
10 say In regard to bids for the big
fight lie expects to hear from Jim
Coffroth of this city and Tom Nc
Carey OF Los Angeles. On his way
East he will inquire into that $751;

lieves that the bid was made in all
sincerity.
Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian
promoter. has written Berger for In
formation In respect to the course
to be followed In making offers for
the championship battle. When Ber-
ger has heard from other promoters
some plan will be adopted that VIII
insure all bidders a square deal.
Berger. by the way, says It Is mis-
take to imagine that Jeffries will not
fight in any country other than the
United States. Jeff has expressed
a preference for his native land. but
bids from foreign points will be duly
considered.

when the highly important prize

to the belief that the men will meet

The feet baseball mines will be

that the sailors are going to have

Hedin read an amusing letter written
to him by Alfred Nobel at time
when Hedin was still student, but al
ready filled with longing to explore

squandsrina Ability.

Doing the lower when the higher Is
possible constitutes one Of the great
est tragedies Of human life. The
squandcring OF money seems wicked
thing when we think OF the good that
might be done with 1t. But what
about the wicked waste Of ability, the
deliberate throwing AWAY OF 50. IS,
perhaps so per cent of ones success
possibly just because he never trained
himself to use it, to grasp It with such
vigor and power that lie can fling his
life into his career with its maximum
effectiveness? Most people take hold
Of life with the tips Of their fingers.
They never get hold of the life propo-
sition with that grip and tenacity Of
purpose and vigor of determination
which do things worth while. They
just hang on the outskirts Of things,
playing upon the surface Of their pos
sibilities without ever getting down
into the marrow of their being, where
efficiency and power dwell.-Orisop

be nowhere else than at the north
pole. The astronomer will tell you
that to any one standing at the north
pole the sun rises and sets only once
year six months daylight and six
months night, mitigated only by a
little twilight at the beginning and
end of period of awful gloom. bro
ken by occasional moonlight or au-
rora.
The pole is truly an unique spot
on the globe Cook, standing there,
faced due south Whichever way he
looked, he was more than twenty
miles nearer the earth's center than
if he stood at the equator. His
weight was greater than elsewhere
on the surface of the globe. A
plumb-line in his hands would point
vertically upward to the pole of the
heavens, around which all stars re-
volve. Half of the stars he could
never see. The other half never
went below his horizon. and would
have been visible throughout the six
months of night. The famous con-
stellation Orion ever circled around
and around his horizon. The pole
star stood directly over his head.
The gain to knowledge from DIR.
Cooks discovery is inestimable.
There still is much to learn of tides,
currents and the oceans.
