GRAND

The management of the Grand is
presenting a great show for the first
half of the week.
Every one knows something about
the passion play, but few have had
the opportunity of seeing such an
elaborate and accurate presentation
of it as will be seen at the Grand in
the 5000 feet Of photoplay produced
by the Edison and Kalem companies;
two of the foremost picture manufac-
turers of the world.
In connection with the Passion Play
Miss Nelson will sing 1.-THE Holy City,
Illustrated.
The vaudeville program is far above
the average shown here.
The three Pierce sisters, singing
and dancing condolences are screom
and the HassmaIs are unquestionably
the best and most interesting act OF
it's kind ever seen here.
The Grand is surely offering the big
gest and best Csc show ever seen in
the city, and We predict that the popu.
lar little play house will. be entirely
too small to accumulate the crowds.
On Tuesday afternoon will be a
special matinee to- give the school
children chance to see the passion
play.

THE COCOANUT Tree,
Il Has an Irresistible Craving For Salt
Water.

Il Has an Irresistible Craving For Salt
Water.
"In the tropics. where the cocoanut
is wanted for planting. the nuts are
picked up when they fall from the
tree where they have hung for about
fourteen months In ripening. 1t is a
fact not generally known" says the
Bakers Weekly. 'that majority Of
the nuts drop at night. which prob
ably accounts for the small loss of life
by cocoanuts falling upon the heads
Of the natives.
1.-The action of the heavy dew ut
night loosens the seal with which nu-
ture has provided the nut and allows
it to fall. The nuts wanted for plant
ing are either gathered into heaps or
placed under sheds. where they are
allowed to sprout before planting. In
order that good. healthy 'sprout nuts
may be selected. thus avoiding the
possibility of planting blind nuts
that would not sprout. In which case
much time would he lost In starting
the 'cocoanut walks as the orchards
are called. When holes are dug about
three feet deep and twenty feet apart
the nut is carefully placed in the hole
and covered with about one foot of
sol. The hole is filled as the sprout
grows until it reaches the surface,
when it is left to itself. requiring no
further attention Should the place
where the cocoanut IS planted be any
great distance from the seashore
quantity of salt is placed In the hole.
1t will grow in luxuriance. however,
but a short distance from the shore,
nearness to salt water being absolute
ly essential to its welfare.
IAN interesting story is told by a
gentleman who resided for some years
in the tropics. He planted cocoanut
tree behind a board fence some dis
lance from the sea. The tree grew
perfectly straight until it reached the
top Of the fence, when it began to
grow toward the ocean. leaning foot
or more. Then a shed was built quite
near the fence. but several feet higher,
and the tree again grew straight until
the roof of the shed was reached.
when It again leaned toward the sea,
forming very curious and odd look
ing tree.
1.-THE Irregular growth was wholly
attributed to the influence of the salt
air. No magnet is truer to the pole
than the root OF the cocoanut tree to
the ocean. for when the root breaks
through its husk 1t points directly to-
ward the sen. no matter what the pO-
sition of the nut when placed In the
ground"

THE RACE FOR THE SOUTH POLE.

U7c 0@Sc VO0 t0e 0~Ss' VSe@
The south pole is now the: center
of interest among the adventures
who strive to reach the end of the
earth's axis. The discovery of the
north pole by Peary, but especially
the pretense of DR.. Cook that he had
been there, has destroyed such attrac
tions for readers as that region pos
sessed. But the other pole has eluded
the explorers along to this time. In
1909 Lieut.. Shackleton, a British ma
val officer, succeeded in getting to a
point within hundred miles of the
south pole, or twice as near it as
Peary got to the other one on his
latest expedition except one.
Three expeditions are now camped
on the ice in the south polar regions,
waiting for the summer, or what is
called summer, in that quarter of the
globe. when they will make their
dash over the ice pack in the direc-
ton Of the pole. A British party is
under Capt. Scott, Norwegian en-
petition is commanded by Roald
Amundsen, who has already won some
note as an explorer at the other end
of the earth, and party of Japanese
under Lieut.. Shiras is in the same
locality. Heretofore the Japanese
have not concerned themselves much
with polar explorations, but they show
some earnestness in this qest and may
make some additions to the worlds
knowledge of the geography of the re.
gion around the earth's southern
axis.
AS the summer south of the equa.
tor comes during our winter, the time
for the projected dash of the Antortic
explorers will be between the end OF
September and the beginning of
March. The great distance, however,
between the middle of the big SOUTH.

graph station will probably prevent
the world from getting any direct in.
telligence from the explorers on their
advance until two or three months
after they make their final rush for
the goal. Possibly in June or July of
1912, the world may know something
of the result of this latest foray into
the unknown. The honor of discov.
cry of the north pole rests with the
United States, and if the present
quest in the southern regions should
fail, some American may enter the
race afterward. Two-thirds of a cen.
fury ago Commodore Charles Wilkes
made discoveries in the far southern
seas which attracted the worlds at
tention, and it is altogether possible
that some other American may win
some distinction in the exploration in
that quarter. 1t is the only hidden
land which the world offers at this
time, and thus it has attractions for
