had since time began.

Reaches Latitude 30.
On that hour i'll April, 1909. that this
man stopped mis- dog sledses, pulled
out his sextant. and with mittenad
fingers fixed the instrument on the
north star, shining out OF the arctic
night. he found himself-if the world
will credit his statement-at latitude
80 and longitude anything ne please |.
He found that by shifting the posi-
lion of his feet on the tip OF the world
he could throw himself across a span
of longitudinal lines that swifte.i5
train and steamer could not cover in
40 days

Brooklyn explorer balanced himself on
the toe of one bearskin boot and
whirlcd from right to left. Presto. he
had added day to his life.
Must Tell IL Himself.
Whatever may have been the tricks
that Cook played with the laws of the
|Seographers, and the astronomers
whatever may have been the secrets
of science that he discovered on that
day when he caught the near angle CT
the north star almost directly over his
head. must yet be told more at length
by the explorer himself when once
more he is back in the nearer frontier
of the worlds civilization.
