Actors of both sexes have wired from far distant
points that their dressing rooms matter of so
many inches smaller than those of other members
of the company that their names in advertisements
in local papers had suffered in relative size position;
they have telephoned from far away cities and at

1t is the little things that make every successful pro-

An Exaggerated Ego
TT must not be supposed that there is for
these seemingly unreasonable actions, so commonly
chronicled in the managers mental notebook. Of the
average actor it may be said that the bounds of his
universe narrow the range of his interests exceed

is unusually self centered one, and the members
thereof absurdy gregarous The result is that when
actor steps upon the stage and acqus himself credit
ably in professional capacity he thinks that the whole
world is interested that the vast public at large watch
ing him, is thinking about him and talking about him.
So it happens that mentally occupying perpetual lime

looking at things is encouraged and abetted by the att

Here the greatest of fields for pioneer
research, and eight xpeditions-Belgian, Scotch,
German Swedish and French--have brought
home a large amount of scientific information
Six of them-two English expeditions led respec-
lively by Scott and Shackleton the Scotch under
Bruce's command, the Germans under Dryagalski
the Swedes under DIR. Otto Nordenskjod and the
French under DR.. Charcot-have discovered new
land, and two Of these parties, those of Scott and
Shackleton pushed their discoveries of ice capped
plateaus and lofty mountains far to the SOUTH
and of the smallest of these expeditions prac-
tcally has proved the existence of the Antarctic
continent.
In 1904 Bruce of the Scottish expedition dis
covered Coats land far south of the Atlantic
whose coast he able to follow for rs miles
and believed to be another segment of Antarc.
tica. Scott in 1902 discovered Edward VII land
which was Joined by the great ice barrier of Ross
to South Victoria land
All these new-found lands are considered by
the polar explorers to be part of the Antarctic
continent.
The south pole is situated on an Antarctic
continent somewhat larger than the United States
and with an area of 100000 square miles The
pole is on a tahleand about 10, 900 feet high The
glaciers of the Antarctic continent are of stupen-
dous size. The great ice barrier is glacier 700
miles wide and hundreds of miles broad in places
The presence of volcano belchng out steam
well within the circle of eternal ice is as much
or an anomaly as the presence of an extinct vol
cano covered with a snow cap at the equator
Mount klimanjaTo in Africa and Mount Erebus
winch Lieut.. Shackleton's expedition conquered
exhibit this marked antithesis. Mount Erebus is
one of group of mountains of which Mount Lis
ter rises more than 1000 feet higher than the
volcano.
1t is probable that the south pole itself is bur
leo beneath as much as 5000 feet of everlasting
Ice On account of this altitude above sea level
its neighborhood may be colder than that of the
north pole.

contain from 10000 to $4,000 Jews.

towns the Jews are coming to exercise

about 1000 Jewish lawyers and 1000
Jewish physicians in New York city.
