Discovery OF the north pole will doubtless be
made within the lifetmes of many citizens of
today Anyhow that is what the scientists de-
clare. They say the mere discovery of the
pole is simple. 1t is the conquering of the de-
tails which must be surmounted that require
the thought and efforts.
Most novel of all plans to plant the American
flag or for that matter any other country's
flag On top of the pole, is that which some
time ago was proposed by Evelyn Briggs Bald
win, who is now working out details OF his
scheme.
This intrepid explorer aims to feat to the
pole and take plenty of time getting there. He
laid out the plan in detail before the Harvard
union at Cambridge, Mass, some time ago and
while some base persons were skeptical, 9th
ers said they liked the plan.
Here's the way Mr.. Baldwin would do it:

The north pole is peculiar thing. 1t shifts

n Swedish scientist allowed to escape his sys-
tenn the assertion that the pole was moving
towards Siberia. OF course if the north pole

The reason the north pole is said to be play.
ing hide and seek is said TO be this:
The earth revolves on its axis from west to
east Hence centrifugal forces tend to pull
the regions of the equator outward, thus CIV
ing the tendency to fiatten at the poles. This
fattening process is irregular and as conse-
quence the top" and bottom Of the earth
tend to fit about from place to place.
Try this scheme with rubber ball. SOFT
rubber is BEST IL shows the flattening better
than hard rubber. Push nail through the
ball. making it an axis, and then tie strings 20
each end OF the nail. Hold the strings in your
right hand and twirl them over your head.
During the twirling you notice that the BAH
becomes flatter at each end and bulges slightly
on the sides That's why the poles are shift
ing. The earth moves at rate of 10 miles a
minute around its axis. Each day in revolv-
ing 1t has a journey of $4,000 miles, its cir
conference, to accomplish. 1t moves about 20
times as fast as the Chicago-New York 1S-hour

The most novel and perhaps the
most insane project which was ever
sprung for finding the pole was that
of Capt. Bowser, Chicagoan, who was
martyr 10 his scheme. He, too.
was firm in his belief that he could
find the pole in his especial, private
way. He aimed to roll to the pole in
round ball with small holes at each
end. He got as far as South Haven,
Mich, which is summe: resort. He
reached South Haven in the winter
and he was found frozen on the beach.

Testing of Seed Corn.

Il IS commonly understood chat corn
kept IN the Crib throughout the winter
frequently loses appreciably in its
strength Of termination and that this is
often the cause Of small weak stalks
found in our fields. Many men think
that If corn sprouts and comes up il is
satisfactory, but this is not always the
case, neither is it always possible to tell
a strong terminating ear simply by
examination,
When corn is cribbed in large quant-
ties and fails to dry out properly before
the heavy freezes of winter come it will
be appreciably injured in termination
and such an injury is very difficult to
detect without termination test, Ex-
periments have shown very conclusively
that corn dried out early and kept dry
during the winter will germinate very
much more strongly than corn kept in
the crib and exposed when not thorough
ly dry to heavy freezing. 1t will, there
fore, pay as rule to test corn in a
germinator in order to weed out the ears
