FINE WIRE.

While man, in spite Of his many Won
derful achievements. cannot often sur
pass nature. he has nevertheless been
able to far outstrip her in many phys
ical or mechanical process. Thus won
derfully fine screws are now made fo1
use in watches: and the edge Of a keen
razor is an instance Of the remark ablc
tbjnness to which metal can be ground
But the greatest achievement in this
line is probably the production Of ex
tremely fine metallic wire or threads
for use in astronomical instruments. The
finest thread we know OF in nature is
undoubtedly A SPIDERS web as il is
spun out on a single gland or spinneret
several or which threads are then twist
ed together by the insect into Tho
strands from which it wcaves its net
Formerly these fine natural threads were
utilized in certain measuring instru
ments, but now far finer metallic
threads are manufactured for the same
purpose.
This is done by first making a mold

WAVE POWER.

In our search for means 10 conserve
our present sources of energy il was
hoped that considerable power might be
procured from the waves of the ocean,
AS distinct from .he force obtainable
from the tides. But Professor Ricardo
Salvador, an Italian scientist. does not
hold out much hope in this direction.
As result Of a number Of experiments
he offers many reasons why wave pow
or cannot be utilized. One Of the chief
difficulties is the extreme liability
of the supply Of energy; but even if
this were overcome by accumulating the
energy IN reservoirs of compressed ali
for instance, the cost of apparatus would
be prohlbtive.
The principal q reason, however, why
wave power cannot he harnessed is that
ihe mean horse power is so small On
most coasts waves 4 yard high would
furnish seven horsepower per yard OF
coast. But the number OF days when
these waves occur is comparatively
small. The vard-high wave is the ono
that occurs on more than half the dayS
of the year; and the cost Of an iDstalla
tioD 10 utilize it is calculated TO he 9
thousand dollars per horsepower, which
is Of course simply prohibitory.

THE REAL NORTH POLE.

In connection with the controversy
that is now being waged regarding the
north pole. il may he interesting 10 re
member that the French and the Jap
anese will tell lis that neither Peary nor
Cook nor any one else has discovered
the real north pole, They will insist
that the pole which the other nations
call by that name rs in fact the south
pole And, scientifically and logically
speaking, they are correct For IT is a
wcll-kuown law Of magnetism that like
poles repel and unlike poles attract each
other. So that when the north pole of
the magnetic needle of a compass points
to what we usually call The gcograph-
ical north. it is really pointing TO the
south of the earth. Owing TO an early
Misunderstanding. however, most ma.
tions call 1T the north pole, because the
so-called north pole or the magnet points
IN that direction But as the matter
now stands. Shacketon is in truth en-
deavoring to reach the actual north
pole. while Cook and Peary have di
rected their expeditions toward what
consistently ought TO be called the soutb
pole.
