The Polar Explorers.

Does polar exploration keep one
young? A writer says: "Sir Ernest
Shackleton looks a mere youngster
who might be in his football prime
Captain Scott, who is due at the south
pole next year, is extraordinarily
youthful in appearance. But Com
mander Peary is easily first in the race
for juvenility. He is fifty-four, as the
years go, and he has spent twenty IN
sapping and mining his way to, the
north pole, but today he might very
well pass for forty-three- not only in
the dusk. but in the daylight"

The end Of the fourth century A. D., by King

Ethiopia was the name given by the Greeks
to country south of Egypt variously conceiv-
ed as including only Nub1a (Aethiopia Aegypt1),
or Nubia Sonnar, Kordofan and Abyssin1a, or
region extending indefinitely east and west
from the Upper Nile. but applied after the fall
Of Meroe more particularly to Abyssinia. The
name is said to have had its origin from the
fact that it was alluded to by the Greeks as
country of sunburned faces.
Historically there were three distinct king
doms known as Ethiopia, those of Napata. Me-
roe and Askum. There is no definite evidence
that either of these included at any time all
the territory between the southern border OF
Egypt and Bah el Mandeb.
Already In the time of the old empire the
Egyptians had relations with their southern
neighbors. From the forests Ct Nuba they OBJ
tanned a large proportion Of their timber, and
the city of Abu (Elephantine) derived its name
from the ivory which found its way to this

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD

Just as They Did a Thousand
Years Ago.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England, a thousand
years ago, school children pondered
over problems in arithmetic much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from lesson book of that day:
The swallow once invited the snail
to dinner. He lived just one league
(threc English miles) from the spot,
and the snail Travelled at the rate of
only one inch day. How long
would it be before he dined?"
An old man met a child. Good
day. my son. he said. May you live
as long as you have lived. and as
much more, and thrice as much as all
this; and If God gives you one year
in addition to the others, you will be
